They probably figured it was better to have the cast do some press for it vs. none whatsoever. Presumably it would've bowed at TIFF in its original date. 

Well in this case I don’t think the cast doing promo would have made a difference.

Honestly, I'm a little surprised the Latino and Hispanic audience is so big compared to other Diversity demographics.

 

By now I know enough about anime fandom to not be surprised by this

Boxofficemojo has February box office at 281m as of Thursday. Add in this weekend and a few weekdays, February will around 360m.  March 2024 is looking like a repeat of March 2023 and April 2024 is looking dead when April 2023 had Mario.  

 

2024 box office by the end of April could be around 600m behind 2023.

That tell everyone just how important a surprise hit is for BO market. Dune 2 is coming but that is an expected hit but a surprise hit is what boost the BO to above the trend. Feb itself isn't as bad as it seem since Argylle and MW both flopped but One love surprise help to smoothen the impact.

Woke up with sniffles, so no free movie watching today.  Since I was about 1 of 5 people at the afternoon Ordinary Angels showing, just gonna leave the tickets "bought"...

Poor openings and bad PTA’s for both Drive Away Dolls and Ordinary Angels. Maybe Ordinary Angels’ A+ cinemascore will take it over $20m total and it won’t be a total waste of time.

Excellent again for Anyone But You.

 

Madame Web -61%, at least not a Morbius level drop. $77m worldwide I’m guessing it’ll finish at $95m

[Cmasterclay]

March 2024 should beat out March 2023 (though not much at all), April will be like 500m behind with no Mario, and May-August are looking to have the same three 300m+ and a few films around 150m as last year, except with no Barbie at the top end, so it will be lower too. Theoretically could have nearly a billion behind 2023 by September. Now, September to December of this year look much, much more lucrative than 2023's did on paper, but it just might be too much to make up unless Taylor has another Eras tour or something.

Another new low for comic book movies. Last year we had Shazam 2, Blue Beetle and The Marvels hitting new lows for their franchises.
 

The next cbms (Deadpool 3, Venom 3, Kraven) seem much stronger, so it will be interesting to see how they perform against that trend.

For those who know OS box office well, what's this looking to finish at? I know Japan hasn't opened, but I think every other major country has. Was curious to see how it would stack up to Wish's OS total (185.9M and counting)

Illumination tends to do pretty solid in JP, though I recall Corpse said Japan is not very into anthropomorphic animal films, so might flop there.

How did The Marvels drop 79% during its second weekend but Madame Web only 61%? This does not make sense to me.
