Looking better than last year. You gotta take whatever wins you can get.

Yeah this year looks much better in terms of a variety of movies to go to. Last year it was pretty much WF and the limited engagement of Glass Onion. This year only looks worse in some ways because of how much worse the MCU that is out is doing.

I didn't care about any movies last Thanksgiving week. Already watched Wish and will watch THG this week. This year is better.

Look at Eternals. It was earning a bit more over the Thanksgiving week.

 

very basic math gives 9.7 million 5 day and 6.7 for the 3.day

Napoleon has a very low audience score so not expected legs to be good

I think it will be fine for this weekend. The WOM probably won't kick in into next week.  This could also be one those movies where the divided reactions help it in some ways. I still plan to see it but can't until next weekend.

Napoleon continuing to sell extremely well today. Could see it hitting 10M Wednesday with previews if evening shows keep it up.

I think its over indexing at Canada. I am not seeing 10m for sure.

Yep, as eve shows get started I’m also seeing it come down a bit. Walkups not as strong as I expected. Still, 8-8.5 is possible, unless that’s another Canada overindex.

If you think this is all a disappointment, strap in for 2024..

Have no fear, big monkey and big lizard will save cinema. 

[MovieMan89]

Joker and Beetlejuice will save 2024 and then studios will think that means Sep-Oct is the new holidays.

Dad cinema is thriving?

10m is a bit too high. Following HOG which the preview only started 7pm, Napoleon will still fall short of 10m.

My area was not as on fire for Napoleon as it was last night. Friday sales look good though. I think Knives Out 8.4 mill for opening day would be amazing opening and lead to 35m 5 day.

Just Wish and it seem to finish almost on par with Encanto opening wednesday. Actually fewer tickets but ATP is higher 2 years later and so its almost on par. So seeing 6m true wednesday and 8.3m with previews. Just meh considering where the presales were. Way worse walkups than Trolls last week. I think meh reviews had definite impact for sure.

Can you check The Boy and The Heron...

Maybe because it's a too limited release so it is hard to check?

[eeetooki]

Ridley Scott interviews alone made me interested in Napoleon lol

I dont have anything. May be @rehpyc can provide any insight if he has any. Otherwise you have to wait for studio numbers tomorrow. 

[keysersoze123]

Napoleon Looks like low 5 true Wednesday. So I feel overall Wednesday number to be very close between Wish and Napoleon. 

[MovieMan89]

Low 5… yeah, back to no thanks given it is

You're kind of wilding about this movie lol. 8.3 would be just short of doubling Gucci and above Creed 1 and equal to Knives Out. I agree it is a worse previews IM than those movies but again, still above most expectations on here.

Saw Napoleon in IMAX this evening. Theater I would say was 60-70% full.

 

Movie was definitely stripped down a lot in the editing room and plays more as a greatest hits compilation of a career than a meaningful narrative. The film randomly skips ahead years at a time to pay lip service to various points in his generalship or rule before occasionally lingering in certain periods. Some characters who have a solid presence in the first half utterly stop talking in the second even though the camera still shows them prominently now and then in the background of some scenes.

 

Battle scenes are visceral and exciting even though there's some basic unforced errors made history wise which have zero effect on its quality as a film but which bugged me to no end because they were simple things depicted completely wrong.
