@Cap can Eric leave the forums alone?

There is a Fassbender film we could discuss his schlong like in the old days.

Yeah I have long history with Eric but keep it out of Weekend Discussion...

Maybe Secret Wars will be worth it after all. 🤔

Watched his new film The Killer the other night. It was as dull as dishwater.

The Fassmember is an icon. Definitely what we need to save the box office rn

UPDATE, Friday PM: Lionsgate‘s prequel The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is looking at a Friday between $18.5M-$20M (that includes previews) for an opening between $45M-$50M at 3,776 theaters. Some rivals have director Francis Lawrence’s fourth Hunger Games movie between $45M-$47M. The competition isn’t snarking over the fact that this movie might come in under $50M, sympathetic to the fact that the current marketplace needs to be graded on a curve for a while due to the aftermath of the strikes and actors’ forbidden to promote, but also it’s not a bad result for a movie that cost $100M+.

Booked at 3,870 theaters, Universal/DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls Band Together looks solid with a $8.7M Friday (including $1.3M previews) and a $28M 3-day and $29.1M total which includes sneak previews. Critics aren’t over the moon at 57% Rotten. No RT audience score yet.

Disney/Marvel Studios’ The Marvels at 4,030 is seeing a second Friday of $3.5M and second weekend of $12.25M (-73%) for a running total by Sunday of $67M.

In fourth place is Tri-Star/Spyglass Media’s Eli Roth horror pic, Thanksgiving with a $4M Friday and $10M 3-day at 3,204 theaters.

Fifth is Universal’s Five Nights at Freddy’s at 2,829 theaters with a fourth Friday of $900K and fourth frame of $3.1M, -66%, for a running total of $132.2M by Sunday. The movie is also available on Peacock

Going through the Catching Fire weekend thread and it's such a blast of nostalgia from the jump. People disappointed by the Thursday number. All those famous and infamous names...

“Current marketplace needs to be graded on a curve” my ass!! The movie got lots of cast promo… Barbenheimer was DURING the strikes for fucks sake! Make higher quality and more appealing movies Hollywood!!

Lol, were we really disappointed? As someone who spearheaded the original being one of the biggest openings ever back when that sounded insane, I hope I didn’t have unrealistic expectations for CF at the time lol 

[nevermore]

180% bump for Marvels? Might be a bit of Deadline copium

"Grading on a curve," Deadline?
