I don't think its legs will be impacted as much. Yeah the IMAX gross for the weekend was like $1M. Shouldn't be much of a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLurking Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I'm a bit surprised by how well The Phantom Menace seems to be doing in presales. I wouldn't sit through the film again if I was the one getting paid. Atrocious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, a lot of the cinematic phenomenons of the decade were largely fueled by TikTok hype, especially Minions 2, Barbie and Oppenheimer. The crossover between moviegoers today and the TikTok userbase is a lot bigger than many might think. The ban isn't going to happen for a few more months though, so exhibitors had better start thinking up some new solutions to keep the youth engaged. The official tiktok ban won’t happen for awhile or may not happen at all because ByteDance is going to fight in courts which could take months or years.

I'm guessing it'll drop something like 80% the following weekend since it doesn't seem like it's being sold as a one week thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies with much less going for then than The Phantom Menace have been reclaimed. The most recent trilogy leaving a lot of unsatisfied fans maybe makes earlier movies more appealing. I saw Challengers in IMAX and the tennis scenes looked good but IMO it's not essential to see it in a large format. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 There's definitely been a reappraisal of TPM the last few years, I always thought it wasn't as bad as Attack of the Clones. Neeson keeps it watchable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Excellent for Challengers. That buzz and WOM are spreading fast. Hopefully it doesn’t have too big a Wednesday and Thursday drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree in the sense that TPM is a mediocre film, and there are a thousand films I would rather rewatch, whereas Attack of the Clones is amongst the worst films I have ever seen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-watched all 3 during Covid and TPM was like Ambien...it was putting me to sleep multiple times. AOTC is just a bad movie IMO.....the detective story, the love story...woof. ROTS is the best of the 3 by far. Watching all 3 in the same day probably makes ROTS seem like a better movie than it is but it's like the Godfather compared to the other two.
