Yeah 160 would  be what NTTD made domestically. This will have summer weekdays at least and has a head start over that already. 

Gosh NTTD really did so bad in the US compared to EU… probably it felt outdated because of all the delays and there was just no hype.

FWIW

 

2012

 

Avengers

Argo

Silver linings playbook

not a good sign for the future of action/spy  movies when they are doing shit business domestically.

Their commitment in promoting the movie themselves when WB wouldn't is cute, maybe they should take a note from the QAnon and start buying multiple tickets "for other people"

I think spy movies are due for a renaissance. They should mostly have moderate budgets anyway.

it didn’t help that it was just a bad film. Appetite for bond will always be there if the quality and marketing feed it.

it wasn’t though??

 

 

and even if it was something like Thor Love and Thunder still got to 300 million domestic. It just shows younger audiences don’t care for these types of  movies

Pay-it-forward tickets and tax write-offs - the future of the movies!

If it's that bad then theatrical SHOULD die.

How do you make a "spy movie" with moderate budgets though? When you say "moderate budget" I think under $100m, and a staple of "spy movies" is filming on location. Just not casting Tom Cruise isn’t good enough, how do you make a short budget film with the kind of crazy stunts that come with the genre and lavish locations? In a lot of ways, the "spy movie" genre is soaring, but not at the movie theaters: I never watched Red Notice or The Grey Man but they are two of the most watched films ever on Netflix.

 

I think what redfirebird said on Barbie’s thread parallels with what I’ve been saying for a good while here, what 2023 taught us isn’t that people want "something new and fresh", neither that "sequels don’t work" or that film twitter finally made fetch happen with "superhero fatigue". It’s brand recognition. It’s not TikTok and memes. It’s audiences favoring characters they love and know: Mario Bros, Guardians, Spider-Man and now Barbie. The same lesson of 2022 when we stop and think about it.

In America, it should be said, NTTD was still a huge hit overseas. It’s also another movie that showed the weird variance between DOM and AUS performance, it made 36m here and was by some distance the second biggest movie of 2021. Well ahead of the likes of Shang Chi and Venom and Black Widow that did well domestically that year.

Quote

However, the reviews and audiences exits on Dead Reckoning bury that of Dial of Destiny. In updated Friday night PostTrak exits, Dead Reckoning gets 5 stars and 90% from audiences (Indy only received 4 stars and 79%), with men/women at 62%/38% grading it 90%/89% (Indy‘s grades for both were 74% and 85%). Deal with it, Disney: The ball was dropped quality wise on Dial of Destiny, and the sequel is suffering with critics and fans. We expect more from Lucasfilm, especially on a legacy finale.

 

WOM is strong, 90% post trak and 5 stars, A cinemascore, 94% RT verified audience score.

 

Male: Female ratio improve to 62%: 38%.

I think Gran Turismo can surprise, the reactions for it was shockingly quite strong

I agree, though depends on what would qualify as a surprise here. Feel good, based on a true story film, plus having racing action worthy of big screen. And won’t have been much for younger guys/action in a while when it comes out, like a mini Fast & Furious  

 

I’m probably in on it (unless reviews are bad)
