Weekend Thread 7/28-7/30 - Barbenheimer Week 2; Barbie 93M/Oppy 46.2M - Haunted Mansion & Talk to Me OW; Mansion 24.2M, Talk 10M

[Day and Date The Best]

Haunted Mansion was that a Disney Plus movie at any point? 

[BoxOfficeZ]

27m would give Barbie a 27% increase from 21.2m while Oppenheimer 30% with 13m. Maybe walk ups will be stronger?

 

Oppenheimer might get softer increase because of the PLF and IMAX screens.

I think numbers will go up from these really early ones. Let us wait until evening for sure.

Haunted Mansion $3.1M THU Previews 

 

So, when's the last time we saw Disney have a "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad" year at theatres?  Outside of GOTG 3, for their 2023 releases, nothing's worked for the budgets they set out...they are making a miniscule profit, breaking even or close, or outright bombing...and with this preview, Haunted Mansion is definitely gonna continue the trend of the last 2 categories...

 

Even WB finally found a massive hit to offset all their issues...does Disney have one left this year?

Even GOTG 3 underperformed. This year is kinda not Disney's year.

Not been a good year for the Always Sunny cast. Between BlackBerry, Champions, Fools Paradise and now Haunted Mansion, 4 of the 5 leads will have theatrical bombs. 

 

Meanwhile, Rob McElhenney just hanging out watching Wrexham get promoted.

What's wrong with those numbers? Both still heading to sub-50% drop after the historic OW. 

[Bob Train]

27 and 13 isn’t bad, that would mean sub 50% drops for both, in peak summer that’s great

It's bad when compared to their weekdays.

Is bad for what the expectations were after those strong weekdays numbers.

sub 40% would be nice

But, to be fair, their weekdays have both been selling out their evening showings, so there's not much more room to grow for adults-skewing hits on a workday.

 

Especially when new openers are taking screens and showings...

I think some people are really hoping for 100m/50m for Barbenheimer. Anyways it's way too early to say definitively what will happen.

Yeah and that's 27 and 13 on the lower end, cause there will still be people buying more tickets through the weekend.
