Yeah, remember how successful the counter programming of Made of Honor was on Iron Man opening weekend?
An absolutely massive $2 million debut from Penguins pushes Disney at $1.4 Billion for the year.
Next week though, that mouse is going to make some giant stride towards that $10 Billion mark.
I absolutely love that you do this graphic.
If Endgame, Star Wars and Lion King all average $2B, that leaves $2.5B between Aladdin, Toy Story and Frozen 2 (plus AF and Maleficent 2). $10B doesn't stand a chance.
Wait... should I add Alita and The Kid that Would be King to the Fox Total? It's the 2019 list so I guess technically they count, even if they came out before the merger finished.

$2.5bil (25% through the chart in the first 25% of the year) is in play by May 1
CM only need like 57-60m to reach Aquaman. Its like week 7. Is it really out of range?
It's performing worse OS than DOM, and the latter has a ceiling of $30m left, probably closer to $20m.
Closest it'll get is $1.135B imo.
Y'know upon thinking about it. I bet if their was Game of Thrones film, it would be close to maybe setting a OW record.
It wouldn't. How many families would go to watch an MA rated movie?
The interesting thing is that their support for seeing Alita did not translate into box office gains for it.
Fuck the alt right for latching themselves onto Alita
funny now im seeing BRIE LARSSON IS HATED BY THE AVENGERS CAST videos on youtube. They dont give up, but more importantly, why the FUCK does the youtube algorithm think I want to see this trash?
Teen Spirit was too artsy to appeal to a mainstream crowd and too blank/vapid to appeal to the artsy crowd. I thought it was just okay, but I can understand why it doesn't have an audience.
They really didn't seem to know what to do with it after crowds and critics started reacting to it. Unfortunate because I really did like the trailer, and A24 is probably the studio with the best track record for me right now
Yeah, seems to be the usually group spouting that nonsense. They must all sit in a room and go "what should we all talk about this week?" and post videos at the same time.
It was good but I found it a little less mainstream-friendly than I expected based on the trailers. I expect people who like Pokémon to like it, but I'm not expecting strong word of mouth to go far beyond that group. I hope it does well because it was a nice little movie, but I'll lower my admittedly high expectations for its box-office performance.
If you don't mind, what elements did you find non-mainstream friendly?
If they're spoilers, you can PM me.
My problem is it seem you got pokemon and you got Ryan Gosling and you seem to be do the minium kid movie shtick.
China seemed to like it based off of the vibe from premiere there.
I want to see how many screens. My local theater is dedicating 7 screens to it lol
yup thats one of them. CHEADLE HATES BRIE LARSON is another (ironic given the Rhodes / Carol comic history lol)
$300 million is possible for Endgame. There's enough showtimes now that many theaters are running around the clock. There will still be a lot of empty seats and showtimes but just at very odd hours. Getting to $300 million really depends on filling those obscure showtimes, I think. The primetime shows will be jam packed.
Hellboy is the 2nd series ever, other being the The Hobbit, where I've fallen asleep watching all three entries.
I've noticed a ton of women going down that rabbit hole and making horrible videos
I haven't been blessed with that one yet.
Brie's 'public persona' is essentially identical to Hemsworth's yet they hate one and love the other... I wonder why??????
I'm planning to do the same but I've accepted that this is impossible. Even if I disconnect my internet, people are gonna talk.
The Laika movies I've seen, I really appreciate their craft. Not just the impressive stop motion but the way they structure their stories, their dialogue, their forceful messaging about people and society.
And I see Missing Link mentioned and think oh yeah I should check that out but opening a few reviews (that don't use vague praise like funny, beautiful, or heartwarming) you see a hype sapping pattern emerge. It's not as good as the others, it's less freaky, it's a perfectly agreeable watch.
Like I'm sure agreeable Laika is still a better time than not but what a downer.
I really like their previous films apart from Boxtrolls, but I found Missing Link to be very unenjoyable. There was one set of jokes in particular that felt really mean spirited and dated. The animation craft on a technical level is there, but the character designs and plot do not hold its end of the bargain.
That's an incredible increase for Captain Marvel.
Now she has the best return of investment in MCU beating Black Panther. Plus, she is also the first superhero to join the $1 billion club on a debut movie. So much for "Go woke, go broke" ROFL.
higher further faster baby.gif!

It didn't get released in USA until now (if this actually counts as a release)? It opened here in Spain around october I think, and it was one of my favourite movies from last year. I hope it can find an audience after its failed theater phase, it's a movie that just screams cult classic.
Patrick Dempsey, man talk about setting fire to a promising career
I liked Made of Honor...
I am a sucker for even medicore rom coms my self, I was just saying because it reminded me of Dempsey in 2019. Grey's Anatomy exposed a lot of people
I mainly know Dempsey from Enchanted, which I saw for the first time a couple years ago, before I ever watched Grey's Anatomy.
My man's gonna ride Bridget Jones and Enchanted 2 into the sunset.
I wanted to see Valkyrie's new movie(Little Woods), but it isn't playing anywhere near me. They dont want my money.
