Doesn’t necessarily mean healthy weekend jumps can’t happen. It’s a matter of is it just spillover driving it or is it truly becoming a WOM phenomenon Ok, but that's not what you said. You're basing your weekend jumps on TDK but it hasn't been dropping like TDK during the weekdays. You can just say you made the numbers up cause you want them to be so big rather than try and justify them with a TDK comparison lol. It's fine if you think it can go that high, but your justification doesn't hold water. I also hope you don't go about saying it's disappointing if it only does 90 million or something...

Well it’s not even my prediction, especially before the wed #, so… And the fact of it not being a CBM or sequel is what would counterbalance the stronger weekday holds against TDK in this scenario, for the record.

redfirebird2008 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Oppenheimer has already matched The Flash's domestic total in 5 days. I don't think anyone had THAT on their Bingo card for this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am, I was unusually busy with helping some friends moving out during last weekend, but our The Marvels bet is very much on and I’ll come up with a pretty club for it during this weekend.

Such is the way of Hollywood. Hollywood studio bosses looking at this summer: "The Flash flopped! How can that be?! Superhero movies always succeed, dont they?! Ah, it must be because the movie had not enough cameos! Next time, we make more cameos and dont forget, Supergirl doesnt need any lines honestly, we sell more action figures of her when she has more scenes just posing!" "Indiana Jones 5 flopped! How can that be?! Indiana Jones is such an iconic character! Ah, it must be because it had no aliens! Indy 4 was the biggest grosser of the series and it had aliens! When we make Indy 6 with a 90 year old Ford, we gotta use those Aliens again! And dont forget Sean Connery, people love him with Ford! Wait, hes dead? No problem, just because an actor is dead doesnt mean we cant use them!" "Mission Impossible 7 is underperforming! But how can that be?! Mission Impossible is beloved and Tom Cruise is just coming of Top Gun Maverick! Ah, it must be because the movie had too many women in it and also, it didnt open on the same weekend as Barbie! Oppenheimer opened besides Barbie and was succesfull! Man, we should have just moved Mission Impossible to the Barbie weekend! We wont make that mistake again!"

But analyzing the box office based on knowledge is a different thing. I dont see how we can excuse someone following it for 30 years not understanding why Barbie stayed flat. Or when he made really bad projections after previews or weekend BO. That is not rocket science. Again, who cares? Sometimes people are wrong! All of our trackers here use the same numbers, and holy shit, sometimes they come to different conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
