Crashing in fourth place is New Line‘s Ishana Shyamalan directed thriller, The Watchers, with $3M today, including $1M previews, for what’s looking like a $6M-$7M start at 3,351 theaters. M. Night Shyamalan, who produced his daughter’s movies, also self finances them and then sells them to the studio. In the wake of working with Universal, Warner Bros. attracted him over to their lot. I’m told that the studio shelled out $30M before P&A for The Watchers alone. This movie is not a Lionsgate genre thrifty price-profit special.

WTF!

Just noticed Deadline isn’t even reporting Furiosa anymore. Man…

Why was a nepo baby given 30m to make a movie? How about you get a small budget of ONE MILLION to start

The answer is in the question.

[Flopped]

Superman and Fantastic Four are gonna make BANK if both are good. Little reason to doubt Superman considering the director.

 

Thunderbolts is gonna giga bomb into oblivion.

 

Captain America will do fine.

Think it’s more likely Thunderbolts will be fine and Cap 4 bombs. All depends on quality. We’ve yet to see a MCU bomb that has been received well. I expect thunderbolts to be received well. Unsure if cap 4 will.

[thajdikt]

Comic book movies are making their comeback now and it starts with Deadpool, Joker and Venom. 

[ringedmortality]

I honestly believe Fantastic Four is gonna be so poorly received

Why? The "Captain America" brand is way more stronger, and Sam/Mackie has been in the MCU for a long time, and is a favorite one. Yes, the film will have to face a campaign against racists and the "anti woke" people, but the film can win with a good marketing and a good reception. There's no reason to rule either one out now.

 

The Fantastic Four will be easily the bigger film. So many things cooking here 👀 If everything goes right, this is a potencial +800m

 

As for Thunderbolts, maybe will be the better film of the three. But the x factor here is a spoiler, so i don't know how they will marketing this thing. Thinking:

 

Cap 4 WW 600m-700m
Thunderbolts WW 350m-400m

None of this really has any basis in reality ngl

Yeah. I'm not sure where the idea that Sam is a favorite character comes from.

 

I like Sam, but I don't think the character was really popular.

Hopefully walkups during the weekend takes it over 50m OW. I would say solid considering Will is far from his super stardom days and there is not much nostalgia now for BB4 unlike last one which came after EONS. 

[CJohn]

Good to see we are all gonna pretend this is a great opening.

I think 50M would be good enough opening. That said, I'm not sure if BB4 will have good legs.

 

BB4 seems to attract a good amount of female audience. That may help to the legs.

Or we could have another weekend where we go on and on about how terrible it all is and theaters are going to start closing in droves on Monday. Lets's do that it's more fun....

for all intents and purposes, it is a very solid opening. also. Please stop doom posting when it’s not even Saturday yet. It could have massive increases during the weekend or utterly die. Either way we don’t know yet.

Minecraft definitely. What an utterly pointless movie. My nephew is a massive Minecraft fan and even he's like "Why are they doing a movie?"

[Insomnia]

I'm content to wait for the weekend to play out but yeah I'm not going to lie, under 50 million (IF that ends up being the number) doesn't exactly scream good to me. It's not doom and gloom either, it's just "yeah that's fine I guess".
