Hatebox Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 (edited) “X movie flopped so why aren’t we talking about it as much as Marvels???” is by far the year’s most annoying box-office meme. It’s even been done with actual hits like Wonka. Edited December 28, 2023 by Hatebox 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the comparison to twilight and After is ridiculous lmao. The comparison to twilight and After is not mine, they were used as comps to project the opening as they share the same target audience. They are not the same kind of movie obviously, though Hunger Games BOSS cinematography is very twilight-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside Out is the Oppenheimer to JW's Barbie (even though they didn't open the same week). It's not the Mission Impossible in that year, because there was no second movie making close to a billion. Inside Out WAS that second movie. Avengers was basically at the end of its run then, so it's not a comparable situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this is true, I don't think that the acting well between them was so different that one deserved a nomination while the other didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably counting Minions as the other >$1 billion film, though that was released 3 weeks after Inside Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. Which would also be a month after JW. There hasn't been anything like Barbenheimer. Only things that compare in terms of sheer opening numbers (or even combined performance over the weeks) for those two combined would be Infinity War, Force Awakens and No Way Home. Two of them are Christmas releases so anything that might have done well releasing a week before would have the holidays to help out and that still didn't happen. Same for IW. And that's because no one was silly enough to open a 300 million action movie a week before those movies, even when Christmas was going to help out. No one expected Barbenheimer to be quite THAT big until very close to release. There's some obvious issues with the bad title, maybe a bit of fatigue, smaller headline stunt than the previous 3 movies etc, but that release date killed Dead Reckoning. Doing what it did in terms of overall box office when a week later it got steam rolled by the equivalent of a 245 million opener, 950 domestic, 2.4 billion ww phenom (which took all premium formats, and ended up capturing a broad swath of demos because of just how different the movies were, thereby combining into a proper 4-quad), without Christmas holidays to give it a hand for a couple of weeks... It's still significant in this summer of mega-bombs. Had it gone with the Ghost Protocol release pattern, and with everything else out now, I think we're talking another 150-200 million WW. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they can advertise it into this weekend to try and break that cycle. But some marketer needs to come up with something... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to eat crow, as I seriously thought Colour Purple would win looking at the early presales. @charlie Jatinder saw it coming early, so props to him. I guess the big black communities all saw it on Christmas Day and nobody else showed up afterwards. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
