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

#SpyXFamilySweep is coming

So Friday was 14M? Yikes

 

They juiced it just enough for the 100% increase, they’ll spread a bit of the rest on Saturday.

The Cruise sequel is playing strongest in the East, West & Mountain. Meanwhile, red state fave Sound of Freedom is throwing off those percentages as it’s so strong in the middle of the country.  Meanwhile, 53% of Sound of Freedom‘s $24.3M second weekend is coming from the South, South Central and Midwest (parts of the country that do very well with Cruise movies).  

 

PLFs and Imax screens are driving 42% of Dead Reckoning‘s business to date.

 

 

SoF is indeed impacting MI7 more than expected and MI:DR is super PLF-driven than expected.

What was everyone's favorite year for movies since 2010?

 

Mine was 2018....

 

1) Infinity War

2) Mission Impossible Fallout

3) Into the Spider-verse 

4) The Incredibles 2

2012

 

In no particular order:

 

Total Recall

Prometheus

Battleship

Django Unchained

The Hobbit

The Bourne Legacy

The Dark Knight Rises

The Avengers

Skyfall

Project X

The Hunger Games

 

Don’t care that some of them flopped/are hated. This was probably the last year I truly loved superhero movies.

Well if a good chunk of them are seeing it for free, they might still show up for Mission Impossible eventually!

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

 

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

 

Isn’t that higher than Fallout? Damn Paramount you fucked up

[jedijake]

I'm confused. Was MI7's Friday $14 million or $16.55 million? If it was a true Friday $14 million, then where does the $16.55 million come from?

Early showings. But not the ones from Tuesday. Or Wednesday. Or Thursday. 
 

That sounds really stupid. But it’s actually true lol.

Early preview numbers that they decided not to add to preview numbers but instead Friday.  As said, Paramount is not normal.

that's gonna be a problem when it loses PLF to Oppenheimer.

2.5mil~ from Sun/Mon early shows last week i think, based off some other people the Tuesday (which acted as a normal Thursday as a 2PM opener) was actually 6.4mil~ vs the estimated 7mil so if i had to guess that got 0.5mil~ and Friday got the other 2mil which means all the early show money is gone now.... maybe....

In the wake of the older skewing, very expensive Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny stumbling at the box office with an $83.8M Friday-Tuesday domestic start, sources have called upon me to evaluate a similarly priced older dude franchise sequel at around $300M, this weekend’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One by the same measuring stick, particularly given the pic’s U.S./Canada 5-day of $78M — which is well below the $90M tracking and Paramount we’re hoping for.

 

But here is the root of the root, and the bud of the bud, and that is Dead Reckoning and Dial of Destiny are not the same.

 

In fact, Dead Reckoning is bound to have the upper hand in the long-run, particularly on a global basis.

 

Yes, I just said that.

Elemental should cross 300M+ Worldwide by this weekend. Can reach 450M+ Worldwide in it's final run if it doesn't have a big drop next weekend

Meh. It surely dies next weekend and won't get what Puss did.

I'm guessing something like a 8.8m weekend incoming. Worst case next week it drops 35% like Encanto did when NWH opened for a 5.72m weekend which would be almost exactly the same as Elvis's 6th weekend, at which point it would have a 8m lead over. Yeah 150m is locked now.
