I mean we could parlay like 220 into just scraping 600 but I would guess will be more 205-215 into 550-600

 

If it beats Jurassic World that will be biggest Summer OW and give MCU all 4 seasons with AEG, DPW, BP2, NWH

Though aeg is a bit messy for BO seasons 

 

MCU

 

Biggest Feb, April, May, July, November, December OW

Yeah it was a bad release date for Twisters. Kicking of the summer would have been great but it was probably not finished yet and people would have complained about the terrible VFX. Switching it with DM4 would have been the better move but they did not. Still  It  has overperformed massively what most of thought even a week and a half a go. It is going in to the weekend with about 120 m and based on that thursday should still do over 30 million with a strong saturday and sunday.

Deadpool & Wolverine is playing like Spider-Man: No Way Home on a smaller scale. Bringing back Jackman ended up being a genius move in keeping what could've become a diminishing returns series fresh IMO (Dafne Keen's appearance in the film was likely revealed a week ago because she attended the premiere earlier this week and they wanted those "then/now" photos alongside Jackman from Logan to go viral).

Zootopia and Inside Out 1 grossed the same-ish domestically, if Inside Out 2 can do $650M+ then Zootopia 2 can do $600M+

 

 

Maybe, but you can have films that do similarly while having wildly different sequel outcomes. I guess the question is, has Zootopia aged as well in the past 8-9 years as Inside Out? Is Zootopia ripe for a sequel the same way IO was, and is WDAS quality control  reliable right now? Is it possible that audiences find the topic about human mind and coming of age earlier to connect with than what Zootopia is offering.

 

I'd be happy if Zootopia does $600M+ DOM, just think there are other factors to consider, and I think Moana 2's performance is gonna be pretty telling actually.

but what will disney do when they see these takings of a rated R movie?

did you find out that they make money like this too, Mickey Mouse?

Filoni did seem open to the idea of an R rated Star Wars project...

Imo this is waaaaaaay more impressive. Because No Way Home had every single villain and every single Spider-Man added on whereas this is just Wolverine. And it was PG-13.

Yeah, but they probably would've started spreading once Furiosa bombed on Memorial Day weekend. 

 

You know what, I wouldn't be surprised if there are still people out there who believe that "Cinema is done" especially now with a Marvel movie opening to potentially over $200M. 

They will Say cinema IS done when it passes Oppenheimer

Wonder how reactions in twitter will be when it passes both joker and Oppenheimer 

You’ve probably given more thought into this than the people who you are talking about. Stop getting off to imagining random people getting mad about something they won’t get mad about

I saw 10 trailers at my Deadpool screening last night: (yes. 10.)

 

Speak No Evil

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

Wicked

Venom

Joker 

Borderlands

Gladiator 

Mufasa

Captain America

Alien

 

By the time we got to the Mufasa trailer people were starting to groan. A few people perked up for Joker and Beetlejuice, so maybe that's a good sign for both of those movies. Seeing the Wicked trailer before a Deadpool movie was odd.

Thing is, I kind of understood it with The Fall Guy. It was the type of movie that people say they want, but didn't show up and it not doing well  can definitely feed into the whole "cinema is dead" narrative. 

 

If you take out the fact that Furiosa contributed to the lowest Memorial Day weekend in almost 30 years, I don't really see how it would fit into that narrative. As much as we all wanted it to do well, it was just a movie that no one wanted to see. 

 

Thank God the narrative around the box office has changed though. Couldn't be happier. 

In Furiosa's case, many people have a lot of (misplaced) expectatives on that franchise and the character. So, they were just extremely surprised when that movie box office failed miserably.

Because of the strikes and post production, moving Twisters up to May was never an option for Universal, The Fall Guy got moved to May because it was completed before the strikes and Universal saw an opportunity to get the usual first weekend in May slot that Disney normally has a hold on.

 

This is been a strong summer for Disney, KOTOPOTA did good business, IO2 did exceptional business and now D&W is doing exceptional business and they still have Alien Romulus in August.

Looking like could do 45M+ admits domestically, fantastic work

[KJsooner]

Zootopia is peak WDAS film last ten years over Moana, Wreck it Ralph, Frozen, et al.

[AniNate]

Twisters is still in a position for a +$35m weekend if it follows Jason Bourne's daily patterns. It actually does still compare favorably to the Monday and I think there may indeed have been a rush to get the last of the PLF in on Wednesday which made the Thursday drop look worse.

Like, why wouldn't Deadpool and Wolverine pass Oppenheimer. Literally a year ago everybody would say of course, even post opening.

Twisters : 6,5M (-35%)

To be expected no? Same thing with OS. Deadpool is just so massive it was bound to suck the air out of the room

And they're likely going to end 2024 strong with Moana and Mufasa. Good comeback year following an underwhelming 2023.
