Hunger Games: The BOSS MTC1

Previews(T-1) - 66594/468906 1210869.52 2632 shows +9585

Friday - 78287/741684 1370572.91 4233 shows +13396

 

Another just Ok day. I hope walkups are good. I could see this make just 5.3-5.5m in previews and low 40s OW. Disappointing. 

 

Hunger Games: The BOSS MTC1

We’re really just not gonna get a $50M+ opener post-Freddy’s until March aren’t we

Yikes. This is awful.

$6M would need very good walkups.

It skews young. In theory, it should have sold walkups. 6M shouldn’t be that hard.

[filmlover]

Sub-$40M would be rough considering the cast actually was everywhere promoting this.

 

Dunno about everyone else but the holidays are looking bleak this year from where I'm standing.

[Mulder]

Oh I...guess I spoke too soon about being surprised that Hunger Games recovered like I said a week or so ago.... 

[emoviefan]

Sigh. Following Box office is going to be really depressing for the near future isn't it. Except for the people who get off on movies underperforming and outright bombing. Fingers Crossed that early embargo is a good sign for Wonka and it can have a nice leggy run through Christmas into the New Year. Because Yeesh otherwise.

The Tomato Law reigns supreme yet again. Mario and Freddy were shielded from it because of their novelty factor, but for everyone else a Rotten Tomato is the kiss of death.

This is nothing more than a self-inflicted wound on Hollywood's end. Hopefully a bad holiday season will teach them not to disrespect talent again once their contracts are up for renewal. Or when their ratification vote comes up next month.

What if The Marvels wound up being the biggest November domestic film. It won’t happen but what if.

That's a crazy possibility. Although maybe Wish can still open to $50M? Or is that just wishful thinking...

Wanted to see when was the last time we had a holiday season where not one film crossed 200M domestically. Ignoring 2020 for the obvious, we have...2008. And before that? We had...1998. And 2024 is probably gonna go all sub-200 again.

 

Theaters are so fucked y'all.

Chances were dead as of yesterday. Barring an unexpected WOM sensation which I doubt, think Elemental domestic numbers is a best case for total.

Pretty sure IO2, DP3, Joker 2, DM4 should all do 200m+ with ease even if awful.

Zootopia 2 if it happens. Gladiator 2 and Wicked could be breakouts. Venom 3 judging by the Madame Web plot leak seems too insane to miss 200m.

A bunch of $100M (at least) grossers within a short window is fine, if not exactly outstanding, news for theaters as long as they're making that concession money. The animated movies are obviously sure to deliver on that front, regardless of where they end up gross-wise.

 

The studios, though, for what they paid for these movies (budget + marketing)? Oof.

 

 

[emoviefan]

I guess you could say it would be even more depressing if these movies were getting great reviews and  performing like this but they are all getting meh reviews and in this Post Covid era that ain't cutting it. I mean can we have one movie that gets above even 70% on RT. Napoleon is inching up everytime I check. Finger crossed it keeps improving.

I actually don’t think it’s crazy if Wish is about to go rotten… we’ll see when reviews hit 

[filmlover]

I will say I never imagined Thanksgiving would be the best-reviewed movie of this weekend. The Dempseysance about to fully kick off between this, Ferrari, and Sexiest Man Alive!

I don’t have any idea what to think about either Zoo 2 or Gladiator 2 right now for box office, gonna be real honest. Wicked I think was ruined to be a mega breakout when they split it into two parts. 200 still seems fairly reasonable though.
