Having a bigger PTA than Poor Things is pretty exciting, seems to be riding the success of that film pretty well. I'll be curious to see how it expands next weekend into 500 theaters, and how it holds after that (especially since everyone seems to agree that it's even darker and meaner than Lanthimos's last two movies with Searchlight, and won't have an awards season boost). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PenguinHyphy Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 1 minute ago, Cmasterclay said: Pretty much every white adult cinephile film outside Oppenheimer, from bigger ones like Killers of Flower Moon and Napoleon to smaller ones like this, have shitty IMs nowadays. Kinda always meh legs too tbh. These used to be the leggiest adult films and now they all have Twilight legs. There's a hardcore cinephile crowd that will see them opening night and that's it, everyone else waits. Don't really care about the Inside Out numbers or the year to year comparisons if it's all at the top and movies like this can't succeed. Having it be attributed as a white cinephile project is ironic given the history. Nevertheless, are you sure that people are even waiting? It is not as if they set Nielsen or whatever remains of the home video market ablaze. Oppenheimer and Barbie were not even able to move the needle in terms of Oscar ratings, so it appears that you have people who just ignore the cinephile projects altogether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedorito Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Interesting that 20th Century was going to market the film around Jodie Comer, but Focus decided to shift to Tom Hardy and Austin Butler. I guess that makes sense since it went from awards play to “let’s try to turn a profit from this” but hopefully Comer can get a lead movie star role.

AniNate Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 (edited) Maybe movies like Bikeriders don't do as good theater business anymore but they're in no danger of losing investment. Creative respect does still go a long way in the industry and there will be plenty of other movies the next year to pin the fate of white auteur cinema on.

cannastop Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Well Inside Out 2 sure is consistently beating expectations. I can only think of one day where it was a little bit short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A $30.5m Friday makes it likely. Over $93m 2nd weekend is in the cards. Edited June 22 by cannastop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movies like Airport and Earthquake dominated the 1970s, but the cultural zeitgeist always wins out in the end. I don't know how that happens anymore, but it's fine. Great numbers to at least keep theaters open, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanic2187 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Could it be its last great hold since AQP is coming next weekend and I believe that movie is playing more than PG-13 monster-flick than typical horror. Cou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emoviefan Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 The things with Bikeriders though is the reviews are decent but not great. So even some of the cinephile crowd may be deciding to wait. This was never going to be a Oscar Play movie. I am seeing it today. I do not have any other plans so might as well. Waiting for my friends and their 8 year old daughter to be able to see IO 2. A man my age is not seeing that alone. LOL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
