Next is the Marvel's with Dune I want to be a fly on Disney wall.

But poetic irony that a movie about a doll from the rival toy company is raking in the kind of money they thought their overly expensive slate (AM3, TLM) would make. So all they can do is be petty. I'm super happy to see that capacity issues are creating insane holds cause people are watching Barbie on weekdays so that blew up in Disney face. Also, there's a lot of concerned salt here of "my movie should have been this big" garden variety.

If you are talking about market share as a distributor, they haven't won a year since 2019. If you are talking about having the highest grossing movie, they also haven't had one since 2019.

Still the best blockbuster of the year for me, right there with M:I. And yet both of them disappointed at the BO, and that is really disappointing on a personal level. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because closest I found was Spiderman Far From Home, where it was 4.97x Not a blockbuster, but Bad Moms = 4.63x Th/weekend in week 2, albeit vs Suicide Squad (and Rio Olympics), and Crawdads last July at 4.43x. I mention these tittles because female skewing films tend to have higher weekdays and smaller Friday jumps (flatter daily pattern overall) and wanted to put that into the ether so we don’t have another “disappointing” total on Friday or the weekend in total Edited July 26, 2023 by M37 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ororo Munroe Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Call me a Disney apologist if you like but why is it a problem for them to be "petty?" WB has pulled *a lot* of shenanigans over the years. Haven't people been talking about how they were being petty towards Nolan? What they did with the Batgirl movie still seems very bizarre. I get it that it's a lot more fun to dunk on Disney than WB but all these big studios are ran by the same kind of people. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No One is disappointed by Barbie First 5 days box office, that's for sure lol. If the usually trackers we follow are saying today LOOKS flat we're gonna be excited by the early prevision they make like for every movie. Cause apparently pre Sales exist from before Barbie the movie, and trackers in this forum too 😄Then if It's 22m It's still gigantic. We don't need to ready everyday the early previsions are early. We know It. I guess that woulda been me lol?? Honestly, I feel pretty darn validated in saying I was a little disappointed with the 155 bc it’s become clear this movie actually wanted to do much more than that. It was definitely a capacity issue. I also think being pretty much the only huge opener since Avatar 1 to not open with a healthy dose of 3D and/or IMAX inflation was something I should’ve accounted for more. Movie was probably beating Last Jedi OW with proper screens and normal 3D/IMAX shares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda curious about excuses of certain groups regarding this perfomance. When you start to call every movie woke nothing is woke anymore. The trend they created like every trend at some point becames stale and predictable. Anyway ben shapiro made a new video with a young conservative influencer cause She said She actually liked the movie. So It's like a confrontation video...i didn't watch It but I bet he smelled the movie will be huge so he's trying to make his position looking softer 😅 Edited July 26, 2023 by vale9001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Train Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 2015 was GOAT box office year, 4 movies making 1.4b+, crazy overseas runs of F7 and Minions, TFA becoming new all-timer domestically, Jurassic World blowing up.

Very restricted on opening weekend (moreso than Barbie) and ended up with some pretty awesome legs by superhero genre standards. I much prefer the huge opening with great legs instead of a maxed out weekend and shitty legs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjusted for inflation it’s $208m without any IMAX, 3D, or premium at all. It did all this on “only” like 7000 (I think) screens. That adjusts to nearly $30k a screen! I don’t know the exact screen count Endgame had in the states, but I highly doubt it tops Spidey’s per-screen attendance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keysersoze123 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Spidey 1 OW was huge WTF considering 1st Potter had set OW record less than 6 months earlier(93m). But it benefitted from a dead market. After fellowship I don't think we had a BO hit. You don't have that luxury today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
