MysteryMovieMogul Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I have a feeling IF is going to be a film critics don't like because of a weird dislike of Ryan Reynolds but audiences enjoy because they don't actually dislike Ryan Reynolds. I think it's going to exceed $35 million, but I don't bet on the box office for a reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part, Reynolds films are reviewed well, only the noticeably bad ones get panned (Red Notice etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTP Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Whoa, didn't know he was almost 50. Anyway, I like the guy, but have no inclination to see this movie. Still, for cinemas, I hope it does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you could read some actual reviews and see the actual reasons critics didn't like it instead of making shit up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustLurking Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Critics disliking Ryan Reynolds is so completely and utterly false. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohn Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 30M+ would be solid if there wasn't a family juggernaut opening in 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Pratt voicing his disdain for lasagna will kill that movie. BOMB BOMB BOMB. Sub-30M disaster. On a more serious note, yeah, this will do okay for its first week, but then it'll be pushed out by Garfield big time. Early word for that one seems a lot better than this movie as well. Garfield also has a not too bad novelty factor as he's not a very oversaturated or overused character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) Garfield feels like it's going to land in the $35-45M range at best next weekend. Which might be enough for #1 in the battle with Furiosa. Edited May 17 by filmlover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the prequel of it all, coming close to that movie's numbers would be relatively impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budice Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 From the looks of it, sub-$30M not out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Low-mid 30s opening wouldn't be as promising for IF as the 40s trackings was indicating with that $110mil budget, but it also at least doesn't seem like it's being Wish-level rejected so far, and maybe intl auds will be coming through for it as well based on that France opening. Would be a low-key success story for original auteur-driven content even if this isn't one that's to adult tastes so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
