As long as it's over 50 mln OW it should do fine.

8:00 on Friday morning and this thread is already 4 pages deep and 60 comments.  At least the hysterical doom and gloom about the RT audience score has died down.

Just give me 50M OW. I would prefer to be closer to 55M but I won’t be mad at that.

I don't think most people beyond this forum actually care about the RT audience score.

It's a dumb thing to spin a negative narrative about in the absence of box office numbers that would support it

I'm very much looking forward to it but if it's anything like World's Fair I think a 5m total would be a huge win.

Still need to see World’s Fair so I can’t comment too much on the comparison, but TV Glow kind of operates as a quirky horror film while also being an esoteric art film; although it’s the attributes it has with the second category that makes it such a special viewing experience imo. Easily my favorite of the year already, and if anything takes its place then I guess 2024 really might be a strong year for film after all

I seriously don't get what the difference is except at the very margins. Apes is very much an "older audiences PG-13"

There is a massive difference. R-Rated films are restrictive, PG-13 films are more widely available to people.

 Yep. Of course there are a lot of things only this forum cares about.

The audience for Apes is mainly older and has substantial overlap with the Mad Max one.

It shares a lot of its audience with Furiosa. Why is this so fucking hard for you people to believe?

[AniNate]

He's being intentionally obtuse, don't need to escalate this

 Like Oppenheimer and DR:Part 1 last year. The audience overlap was massive. The rating made no difference.  DR;Part 1 could have held much better if it only had Barbie in that second weekend. And those had the same rating PG-13 but completely different core audiences.

...There was probably some overlap with Barbie as well. You don't get to be 600 million release by leaving a lot of cash on the table, even if Barbie's audience was mostly female.

As someone who championed The Maze Runner movies back in high school (sure, a lot of that was me blindly cheering for adaptations of a book I loved), Ball definitely elevated those movies with his eye for action and world-building. 
 

Glad to see him finding further success here. And I really hope Zelda is a hit. Would love to see him become another Kosinski (might be a weird thing to say, but hear me out): very solid director for hire with a nice action flair, but can also deliver the emotional goods when given the right material.

 

Dare I say it, I wouldn’t even mind Ball taking over for Cameron on one of the Avatar sequels. He’s already in the club with Disney/Fox.

I mean Apes does have Furiosa and Bad Boys crossover, but there is still an untapped teen/family audience, albeit a small one, that can still help make it an option for those not interested in all the animated stuff. Regardless, I still have faith it can at least match War’s legs, which would still result in a solid gross.

Not related but could someone tell me what are the official previews for Challengers and The Fall Guy? Thursday previews.

[Eric Furiosa]

Apes is about to start soon, yah boi is drinking a Long Island Iced Tea, life is good fam

[AnthonyJPHer]

6.6m in previews for a 8.5x internal multiplier and a 56.1 million weekend? I didn’t know preview numbers beforehand. 
 

56 million weekend? Who’s with me fellas?

[AniNate]

I'm pulling for a weekend over 05/12-14 last year
