Anyone want to talk about the INSANE legs of Dune Part 2, Godzilla x Kong, KFP4, and even Ghostbusters this weekend? The drought of tent poles has really helped the big March releases stick around.

Great, point hopefully some of the product placement in the movie offset some of the budget

 

There was quite a bit of Adidas ads in the film

And some Uniqlo

Also Aston Martin

 

 

Yeh Uniqlo, Aston Martin, Nike, Addidas, GatorAde, Wilson. They probably offset a good chunk of the budget with it. But it never felt gratuitious, because they’re playing Tennis so there are sponsors all over the place in real tennis.

The First Omen passed $50m at least, glad international audiences are showing up for it in some way. 
 

Back to Black already has $16m too. Most of it from here in the UK of course. 

we are gluttons for punishment

The delusional doom and gloom here is just hilarious throughout this April. Going to certainly be funny to look back in 1 year from now when theaters will be running as usual (even it there needs to be some screens adjustment before or after), schedule will be normal and stronger and coming off of a strong 2nd half of 2024.

 

The lack of actually thinking before posting here goes crazy here.

We live in a highly fragmented world, it’s not just streaming, it’s the entertainment and all business now. Nearly everything popular these days are huge with some groups and irrelevant or a joke to others. It’s just the way things are.

For better and for worse, the internet has divided us in smaller groups than ever before. Not sure anyone has foreseen that when the internet started becoming popular.

 

Oh well, meh weekend, could've been worse though, and hey at least this thread has seen some traffic, even if the content is...questionable.

Haha true, it’s holds have been good, 

 

2nd weekend drop -30%
3rd weekend drop -25% 

 

Must be good WOM somewhere.

The UK is likely going to end up Back to Black's biggest market by a decent margin. Not a surprise tbh.

"More people need to go to the theaters!"
 

"No, not like that!"

In the end, 15M is a respectable gross for Zendaya. It's her first headlined film. Veterans like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck could only do 14M with Air last year. This is the new reality of the box office

I wasn't aware that the film "Air" was marketed as heavily as Challengers.
