Entirely anecdotal this I know, but among my friends, only a couple have gone to see MI7, and the rest are waiting for on demand. The reasoning is generally because they have good TV and sound system set ups, the movie going experience is unpleasant, and the film is long. 

 

Same attitude has been prevalent for most of the big movies this year - especially the ones that reviewed averagely to badly. 

I could be wrong, but this sort of attitude seems to be much more prevalent after the pandemic. It really has to be an event or something you are incredibly hyped for.

 

That's a pity though, MI7 is easily the best Mission Impossible movie in my opinion, it was 100% worth it to watch it on a big screen. I get it though, a lot of people would rather go to the movies this weekend for NolanBarbie, so it ended up becoming a choice between the two of them

Then why aren't they paying to watch it.

Various reasons 

[ThomasNicole]

Seems like the studios really won’t delay everything due to strike

 

At least DIS just dropped a new trailer for the star cast Haunted in Venice and keep the date for September. 
 

They also dropped The Creator trailer earlier this week keeping the September date. 
 

And i suspect the awards prospect movie Poor Things will keep it’s September 8 date as well considering this, let’s see if it will appear in the Venice lineup next week. 
 

Seems so insane to me that 2 of this movies have very big actors in it and they will release without them being part of the release.

So it looks like mi7 increased by about 35% on Tuesday. I'm hoping other films will have similar increases as well.

I never bought the idea that everything was going to be delayed. The only place I saw that was here, lol.

 

Hyped for The Marvels, The Creator, TMNT: Mutant Mayhem and that tennis flick with Zendaya for the last half of the year.

The flick with Zendaya is actually maybe getting delayed because Luca asked, not the studio lol 

 

But they didn’t decide yet

Sigh. I get this sort of. But still it just really depresses me when I hear stuff like this.

the moviegoing experience seeing MI7 last week for me was as good as it gets. I’ve got a great tv and sound system too and it wouldn’t even touch the theatrical experience I had last week. 
Maybe they live by a bad theatre?  
 

I could never wait three to four months to watch a film like MI7 on my tv. But like I said, everybody is different.

Yep i am  with you there. Can not imagine just being like I will wait for MI 7. But people are different.

Yeah, seeing it on IMAX while enjoying an Old Fashion was a perfect experience and I was afraid that it ends too soon rather than at any point feeling its too long. There definitely is truth to Cruise saying that it is made to see on the big screen. It was an experience that you don't get in home theaters.

 

As an experience it was 5 stars and elevated the movie that in itself is a 4 star movie IMO.

 

I think Jason Bourne is a better movie when comparing them outside the theater but in theater MI7 is a better experience, almost perfect joyride where you can get past the clunky dialogue, too many characters, and some convoluted plot moments.

NHF should reach 50m by the end of the weekend, and finish around 52-54m DOM and 90m WW. Decent for the state of comedies in 2023.

If they can wait 3-4 months for DR that means they don't wanna see it already.  If you are excited about something it's no way you can wait that long.  For myself if someone give me a free movie ticket for Barbie I'd probably rather stay home.

That's the thing. Most people couldn't wait months for something that they are really interested. That's the reason why OW tend to be so big.

 

If people tell you they will wait for MI7, it's because they are likely not so interested in the movie.

Probably means $6m once actuals come in and include PIF.

 

Would be a 21% jump which seems to be below average for today, as I said earlier I think PIF kinda neutralises discount Tuesdays to the point where they don't have as big of an effect on attendance as they do for a normal movie.

 

[Joyous Legion]

Guessing SoF falls into @M37’s gap 👀

[ChipDerby]

A shame about that number

[Borobudur]

Can MI7 still hit 100m by Thursday? at least $7m means it is flat from last Tuesday's preview gross.
