Yeap, back in the 80s in rural parts two channels and one TV. At the end of the 90s four channels and two TVs, no smartphones, and of course no streaming. Funny enough our first pirate CD copy that circulated with friends was VGA quality Matrix (though old millennial here and not Gen X). Fastforward the last 20 years and the landscape has changed faster than ever in human history and keeps doing that with all the different entertainment and content firehose ways. The whole cinema is doing great in that context and part of it is that you can't ultimately take away the shared first-hand human experience. There are always people longing for it no matter how cool new gadgets and tech we have.

 

5 TV channels when I was younger.

 

It was a great way to discover movies. I would never have seen films I love like EuroTrip, You Don't Mess with The Zohan, and 16 Blocks, if it hadn't been for the fact that there truly was nothing else better to watch when they aired on TV.

 

Things like Letterboxd and Rotten Tomatoes only ever highlight 'critically acclaimed' cinema - if people only watch the same movies and don't form their own tastes we'll end up with really boring people.

Sunday appears to have been decently under for all 3 then? Had hoped that they would all hold. Oh well.

Yeah. Saturday is likely the outlier.

 

Was there a promotion/deal that day?

I'm sad after the recent success of female driven movies and Anyone but you Prime video didn't get this a big screen chance. It even has initial great reviews.

Up almost a million from estimate for Saturday? Unlikely Saturday estimate run that far from actual. This could be a typo.

If it was $44.5M actuals, I would have totally expected Sony to make it $45M+ but from $43M, that will be absurd.

lol what show was this from?

[Ziddletwix]

Can someone dumb this down for me? (New to this!) 

 

Is the claim that the current (Monday morning) studio estimates (45.0M for the weekend) are suspiciously high, given the other numbers we've seen for each day. Thus, when the actuals come out (soon), they'll be lower.

 

Or is the claim that even once the actuals come in, they'll still be suspiciously high? I.e. the underlying accounting itself is what's off, not the current studio estimates? (trying to follow the exchange in this thread)

Dune $17.61m (-38.23%)

Charlie is basically saying that if Sony really does report 45 that doesn't line up with the numbers he has and that's a bit too big a gap to really trust it being genuine.

 

Other examples of this were Dune2 thu being too high (WB likely just took something from the next few days to report better preview number) and I recall one other big example Charlie uses being TFA.
