Maoyan predict nearly $12M lifetime for Luca.

 

Much better than it's US box office performance.

Really interested in how that change the box office equation and dynamics of Hollywood.

Funny that there's all the debate over LGBT stuff affecting China's releases and Luca, a thinly veiled LGBT allegory, gets China as basically it's only major theatrical venue.

I'm not sure what youre saying, but its very clearly intentional in a way that, say, Frozen is not.

I will have to see, but the fact people saw anything near that in Frozen make me thing that people wish to see it and project it.

 

For example when you watch Top Gun you start to see things everywhere, at one point the female romantic lead wear a baseball cap, one can thing it is to masculinize her has an gay allegory, in reality that scene was made later during the reshoot and her hair had changed and that was a quick easy way thought for continuity.

That dude is definitely lying or he's the most oblivious man on the planet. The characters may not be gay but it's definitely an allegory for it.

I think one coming out gag at the end (nothing to do with the title character or his buddy) does add to that subtext reading.

Plus the part of him being sent away to a place where his desire to go to the surface would be "converted" out of him...

Yeah, I think it's up to each person's perception, that's why headcanon and canon exist.

Raging Fire will finally dethroned after 4 weekends being on top.

The irony is that Raging Fire dethroned Free Guy in Hong Kong last weekend. Haha. Role reversal.

 

I think FG will hit 100m in its opening weekend; other than Raging Fire having legit WoM and good legs - it is in its 5th weekend; and the other new openers are weak. FG literally have 0 competition.
