At the very least it should boost the franchise sales as a whole as people talk about HP again. The next movie could be used to promote the rumoured game and vice versaA franchise being a merch juggernaut does not necessarily mean that every film will move a ton of merch. Do kids really want to play with Fantastic Beasts merch, or will it be like all of the unloved Qi'ra and Beckett toys sitting in clearance bins while kids still happily buy Darth Vader stuff?
Also, the redesign really killed the momentum of our thread this week. Wednesday and we are still on the first 100PPP page!

I took from him saying "late December" that he wasn't counting Spider-Verse.You might want to check out the reviews for Into the Spider-verse. It's got a better rating than many best picture potential nominees.
I took from him saying "late December" that he wasn't counting Spider-Verse.
I was going by what Kswiss deemed "late Dec releases" in the last thread for the prediction funsies:
Holy shit Into the Spider-Verse was awesome! Easily one of the best superhero movies ever. It's so goddamn funny, touching, great looking, innovative and surprising. Even one of the best movies of the year. Damn it was cool fun!
And then Mortal Engines... gonna drop few lines after the embargo is over in two hours.
I feel word of mouth is what will make Into the Spider-Verse a serious hit. The great reviews and huge ad blitz will do work as well but I think constantly hearing your buddies or coworkers or kids just constantly gushing will what drives things even further.
Hasn't Sony taken out some serious money for extra advertising over the Christmas season? Something like 115m? Honestly a lot of the marketing made it seem skipable, but between WOM and the extra adverts it's all but guaranteed to outperform tracking.
I can tell you which one was probably more expensive.So Mortal Engines was a hot razzie mess. It's like an expensive tv series pilot with Weta's awful plastic (Hobbit) cgi. Set design was straight from some cheap syfy series. Even the starter music was ripped off from Fury Road. And the actors, holy shit. It was god awful.
It's a great contender to Robin Hood. I don't know which one was worse.
I'm predicting a huge hit even with Aquaman and Mary Poppins around.

He needs to go back to his roots and give the world Braindead 2.What the hell is up with Peter Jackson? Its like he sold his soul to Satan so that LorR would be great, only for every other film's he's involved in to be a soulless piece of CGI shit...

Yikes. Was hoping it would be decentSo Mortal Engines was a hot razzie mess. It's like an expensive tv series pilot with Weta's awful plastic (Hobbit) cgi.

Oh no, what have I done.
Jackson needs someone to rein his ideas in but I don't think anyone has the guts to tell him no anymore. I think Barrie Osborne filled that role during LOTR but since then he's been unquestioned.
Its doubly weird considering that every post-LotR film he has made has flopped or underperformed in some way, even The Hobbit Trilogy.
You'd think studios would be more apprehensive by now...
How many more days a film run when it gets extended run?China: As of Wednesday, Venom currently sits at
1.15m/268.73m
Venom Should be just under 270m going into the weekend. With Aquaman hitting, Venom could still do decent in no small part due to sold out showings of Aquaman helping Venoms walkups (Tencent connected and demographic overlap being the key factors). ACF should get some of that as well, not that it needs the help.
How many more days a film run when it gets extended run?
Do it have a chance of hitting of 880M?
if Infinity war got only 11m in its extended run then i doubt we can expect some thing massively more than that. 15m or 18m at most for Venom in extended run should be a good guess?Extended runs are a duration of an additional 30 days (unless someone knows differently).
Venom has a chance to still hit 880m, but Aquaman is a daunting prospect and I don't want to speculate too much until we see the weekend coming in.
As an example: In China, Infinity War was originally going end showing on July 9th and sat at 368m.
Jurassic World 2 released of June 15th and Infinity War tumbled around 85% over that weekend. It's total run was 379m with the extension. an additional 11m ish over the extension.
This was due to the release on Jurassic World 2 gobbling it's screens and successive big releases that followed. Venom faces a similar challenge but has other factors that may help it I'll go over those in a later post tho, it's not a done deal that Venom can't reach 880m.

I know we don't have a thread but this is the closest thing but I laughed my ass off when Bohemian Rhapsody got a Best Picture - Drama nomination at the Golden Globes just now.

Ant Man 2 - 10.36m
Mission Impossible 6 - 10.22m
Spiderman Homecoming - 9.90m

If Aquaman turns out to be a huge hit then Justice League two should be an aquaman centric event like Throne of Atlantis or something like that.Aquaman did $24.6M Friday and deadline thinks it could hit $80M over the weekend. Justice League 2 without Superman or Batman is going to be wild.

They should give the people what they want and just do a Diana/Arthur teamup movieIf Aquaman turns out to be a huge hit then Justice League two should be an aquaman centric event like Throne of Atlantis or something like that.
