Let’s go. Happy to see this. Box office is cooking🔥

I am actually quite surprised by GxK having a A- cinemascore. The movie stay pretty stable at 93% on VA which normally should translate to A.

I would assume it's because a lot of producers think that he just doesn't fit the bill as that type of romantic lead. He's perfect as Spider-Man, but I think most people can't take him seriously beyond that. 

Is he still doing that Romeo and Juliet play? If so, curious how that will be received.

 

It's strange that both Holland and Chalamet have the twinkish thing down, but there's something sensual about Chalamet that Holland is missing. Like, I'd hang out with Holland, but I'd fuck Chalamet. I dunno...

 

 

I don't think you need to be the MOST conventionally attractive to be a romcom lead. When Harry Met Sally is still the omega in the genre IMO and it stars Billy Crystal who isn't exactly a Chalamet.

 

Also as an aside but related, I feel like Tom Holland has Tom Hanks wholesome superstar energy that modern day studios don't know how to channelize beyond Spidey.

Pretty good hold for a horror movie , i think he could have a pretty good run for the genre on digital

Not good , can the movie surpass the 100M Mark ?

The real mystery is why Ghostbusters got THAT many screens. Seriously. Some theaters would feel tempted to dump for Godzilla or Dune right about now...

This ended up being a pretty strong March overall. Ghostbusters the only movie to truly miss expectations (and even then, no one can claim the writing wasn't on the wall for it in advance).

I didn't think the writing was on the wall. Had they actually planned out a non-suicide release date I think the movie would have still likely underperformed but not done THAT badly. Splitting the team between the old and new members and having too many characters pleased no one. This is all on Sony's tactics.

Dune held up better than I expected considering the loss of more PLF.

If this wasnt a holiday weekend Ghostbusters probably has a Marvels like drop.

 

 

GB holds notably stronger than the Marvels, as early as its first Sunday where it was already 2m ahead of the marvels. And it is doing much better than the Marvels during its first set of weekdays. It is holding nothing like the Marvels, with or without Easter

I think still can. SoD is 67m and DnD was 61m after 10 days and both of them finished at 95m-ish whereas GB is already 73m.

Dune 2 with just a 37% drop against GxK OW which is FANTASTIC!

[AniNate]

That's a ridiculous hold for Deuxne. $300mil pretty much locked now.

 

EDIT: seems The-numbers put up the wrong number, still, pretty solid and still slightly better than last week. $300mil in good shape though maybe not locked per se.

I didn’t like the movie, but it does have an effective “see it to believe it” finale that makes it exciting for horror nerds who don’t have anything else to watch. Though we’ll see how First Omen impacts it next week.

I think it's a big scale, A- here should be closer to A than say something like Dominion which got A- but me think it was closer to B+.

[filmlover]

Columbia's definitely off to a rough 100th anniversary celebration with Madame Web and Ghostbusters being nonstarters. We'll see if that ends up being true for their entire 2024 slate.

I think actual will be closer to 35%. Either way this weekend is actually Dune 2 best drop yet.
