Y’all we’re getting truly desperate if we’re treating 3m like a blockbuster number for hype. RIP box office

I had a feeling Napoleon would beat Wish at the box office for weeks. This is great for adult cinema.

Hoping THG can reach $150m DOM. To have a  3x multipler would be excellent for a sequel no one expected to do well, with some expecting it to be destroyed by The Marvels.

Not what I said. Just seems like a lot of excitement for what is in reality a crazy low number for the leading Thanksgiving movie. That we also don’t know if WOM might totally sink. We’re not getting a 150 DOM grosser for all of November, which is just absurd. I don’t think we should be losing sight about how bad this is since if it became the new norm, box office is actually dying. Thanks to Hollywood making mediocre unappealing crap. And I’m not convinced they realize that either enough to fix the problem

We're talking about a nearly 3 hour adult drama's Tuesday preview number here. 3m is the absolute best number I would have expected for it.... in 2019. It's definitely over-performing. Context is everything.

Nothing surprising, nowadays if the audience sees a Disney/Marvel/Pixar logo they know the movie is going to be a mediocre/agenda filled product.

Interesting that in the article, the range for Hunger Games is 36-45m. Maybe an upset is possible?

 

On the other hand, their Wednesday for Wish is way below what the tracking thread has been pointing to. So who knows.

The theatrical march of death continues. Another atrocious Thanksgiving for the books.

We can acknowledge the box office is in the toilet while commending a movie, one with far lower box office expectations for doing well for the kind of movie it is.

Disney+ has caused irreparable damage

GOTG3 proved that people will go to theaters if they think it is worth it instead of waiting for D+. IJ5 and Marvels wasn't that.

I think 2024 could be pretty solid. Mufasa, Inside out 2, Despicable me 4, Deadpool, Joker 2 could all be $1B films 

 

Gladiator 2 could have a mini Barbie run 

Kung Fu Panda could be a $700M+ film

Garfield could breakout and be a mini Mario

 

The only films that screams flop to me are Kraven, Madame Web, and Ghostbusters

GOTG3 is a billion dollar film pre Disney+
