The Marvels record will still stand though as biggest drop off ever from 1 to 2. That was -$924m less than the first.

 

I actually don’t think that can ever be topped. Well, never say never 😅

Aquaman , Alice in the wonderlands, secret life of pets, captain marvel and now joker all show that even predecessor being a mega-sized hit can turn into dust in their immediate follow ups. And many of the example I listed here, the original was actually pretty well received, so you can't blame the poor quality of the first affecting the sequel. 

 

Now come to think of it, Avatar 2's run was actually pretty decent.

The most insane part of Avatar 2's run is that $1.39B OS-China-Russia number. Endgame by comparison did $1.26B.

I'd rather eat glass than watch that person talk for one second.

Avatar did amazingly well World Wide IMO

 

It was hit by 150-200 million in China as well and Russia.

With a full China and Russia it would've topped $2B OS

 

No movie has done so in its original run, the closest we've seen is Avatar with $1.993B lmao

I do find it funny that for all the worries that the first Joker would cause people to bomb movie theaters, they decided to actually release a bomb in theaters this time.

Dude, the bit is old. Get some new material.

[filmlover]

All this does is prove what a "right movie at the right time" lightning in a bottle sensation the first was. Even with a better reception than what it's getting, I think duplicating the factors surrounding that movie (from the manufactured "this movie is gonna inspire real life violence!" controversy to the novelty of a character drama in comic book movie clothing) were always going to be an impossible task.

Increased despite losing PLF ❗ ❗ ❗ ❗ 

 

1.) Wild Robot (Uni) 3,962 theaters, Thu $2M (+9% from Wednesday), Wk $45M/Wk 1

Great Thursday night for TWR. For me , it's defintely above 20M . If it plays like Transformers One , it will make 21,6M (-40%) . I expect more around 6M for True Friday and 24M for the week-end (-33%).

Well someone had to appeal to fans of the first since Todd Phillips clearly didn't.

Are we in a case currently where bad movies bomb-fail and good movies make lots of money? 👩🏻‍💼🤔

Not really. 
 

Mario is mid at best, D&W is mediocre, Inside Out 2 is just ok, No Way Home is awful. 
 

Top Gun, Barbie, Avatar 2 and Oppenheimer all great tho. 
 

Dungeons and Dragons flopped hard and it was pretty good. Same for Furiosa.

Don’t see much co-relation between quality = success.

This reads like a Jay Leno bit.

Will Joker be able to do what Megalopolis couldn't? The CS is gonna be interesting.
