Thanksgiving 5-days Weekend thread | BOSS: 42.2m, Napoleon: 32.75m, Wish: 31.6m, Trolls: 25.6m, Thanksgiving: 10.9m

People wildly lowballed Napoleon and then moved the goalpost when they were wrong. And I thought I was the negative one. Obviously it'll be more frontloaded than optimal but it's about to have an opening day equivalent to Knives Out. It's a totally normal good number for the live action Thanksgiving opener. Wish.....yeah, that's kind of another story. The Disney animated Thanksgiving opener used to do 70m+, and that is far from happening nowadays.

I think we should see how it does over 5 days first before “wildly lowball” gets thrown around. Like yeah I was predicting 50 or so DOM, but will it even hit 75? Still pretty early. My only point was that these numbers are all around terrible if we’re talking about the top of the thanksgiving box office. Look at any other year.

Hey you don't got to convince me. I've been saying the box office is in the fucking toilet for years and getting scorned for it each week. But like 2/3rds of the board was treating Napoleon like it was going to do Last Duel numbers as of a week ago and now all of a sudden 75m would be a failure (which is what I was predicting all along).

Are they dumping Mickey 17 or.. ?

 

Would be pretty stupid if they did. Could be a breakout with Pattinson starring and Bong-Joon Ho (who might not be a household name but still a lotta people who will watch his films after Parasite) directing.

[CoolioD1]

bong joon ho from palme d'or to tax write off. (I'm sure the movie is gonna get punted into the back half of '24 soon)

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

[MovieMan89]

Now 10m wed would be impressive for Napoleon

Napoleon was the single 2023 movie that my dad was excited about (i think i'm seeing it with him next week). there always seems to only be one per year these days, last year it was top gun, i already know it's Gladiator 2 for next year.

 

Horizon part 1 and 2

The marvelous mrs maisel has no ceiling.

 

Idk about that other thing, I don’t know her 

[Maggie]

Oh yeah, Gladiator 2 is gonna smash next year. Wise of Mescal to snag the role. Even if the movie won't probably be the highest of quality, it will still make bank and it will send Mescal straight to the A list

What are the chances that Napoleon outgross Wish this weekend?

Locked. If it beat it on Tue I see no way Wish can keep up with that RT score 

[PrinceRico]

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

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 

Mufasa is going to bomb horribly. Marvels 2.0.

Yeah, I feel like mixed WOM is gonna hit it pretty soon, while I feel almost the opposite for Wish; Less rush because of meh reviews, but WOM is going to be good enough to give it some legs.

 

Let's see how wrong I am.

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

 

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

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