It probably speaks to how lousy TFOne's Thursday was that TWR "crushing" it just led to an ok Thursday.

Granted, this was just in my area, I don’t have access to MTC4 (at least I think that’s the code word) data on a national level anymore.

Why good reviews should impact a movie from going to 25M potential to 50M+? 

You should understand reviews impact, if they impact, only if you already are interested to watch something, heard about the movie etc...if i casually go to RT (and if i'm not waiting for a movie probably i won't go this week) and read new movie "me and my horse" 90% and i never heard about that i'm not even opening the page of the movie. Who cares?.

 

WOM is what really impact for unknown - new movies.

I mean, perhaps they did have an impact just not to that extent. Maybe it does sub-Bad Guys numbers if its reviews are just mid. I do think they matter though. Inside Out 1 opened 36% bigger than Brave with its ecstatic reviews.

Parents being the lowest on the star rating is interesting. Also unsurprised that it's a fairly even gender split on kids and parents is leaning mom's but isn't overwhelming moms. Vs Transformers being little boys and their dad's. Both of these combined it's looking like a solid A cinemascore I think. Good reception so I'm happy about that! 

[Ezen Baklattan]

Alright, moving in a good direction!

Speaking of Transformers One, I saw it on Wednesday and it was good, 7.8/10, but what’s interesting is that the theater I saw it in was completely empty. That had never happened before for me. Even Migration had a few people in it when I went to see it. We basically had a private screening. And it was 7:45 PM, so maybe the kids were in bed but it still just shocked me.

Obviously great but DAMN was hoping for an A+

 

[WebSurfer]

Hmm, with +9.5 on Friday, how can we be sure that this will be above +30?

 

Tone got about 9.5 last week on Friday.

considering the absolute slop (especially horror) that regularly opens to mid-teens, I'm surprised by how low megalopolis is going

That was including $3.4M in previews across multiple days, the true FRI for Wild Robot is over 50% ahead of Transformers One

I think Transformers was 9.5 with previews

whereas Wild Robot is 9.5 without previews

 

Unless the movie is incredibly front-loaded which I can’t really understand why it would be, +35 does seem very likely

That doesn't seem to be case according to this box office chart...

Why are you being antagonistic about this? It was an aspiration, not an expectation. It had been supported by some of the more optimistic preview comps which yes, ultimately did turn out to be too optimistic. Perhaps it was too much to hope an ecstatic critical reception would bring back a pre-covid level audience for a new IP on opening weekend, but we had no way to know that for sure until the numbers actually bared it out.

 

I do think a "less than half" box office take would have been reasonably disappointing in these circumstances ofc, especially coming off new IPs that did manage more than that like Elemental and IF.

Furthermore many many of their past works have sold as many tickets OW as this needed for $50M. Wouldn’t have been particularly remarkable in the scope of the studio history or anything.  
 

That said it looks like high 30s with some storm and scheduling damage, quite a fine outcome

Yes it is the case according to this chart. Any movie that has previews does not separate out the previews and true Friday gross on the listed number for the date. Friday reported is previews + true Friday.

D+ for Megalopolis 

So close to perfect balance between this and the Wild Robot grade but not quite there. 

 

I really thought it was gonna be an F for a moment there, half a star on post track is still insane.
