I would say Wick, Aladdin, & Endgame overperformed. Godzilla and Pokemon underperformed.
Basically, it is this: People go see movies they want to see, skip ones they don't want to see. There is no downward trend or anything.
We all just went crazy when Endgame came out with such ridiculous numbers.
It still did 2.7 billion and that's massive.

I feel like I remember some people saying that.
I do have a poor memory though.
So that's what, two crap comic-book universes she's narrowly avoided? Did she pick up a four leaf clover?
Saoirse is still pretty young and could still come back to play the role in 4-5 years when it gets rebooted. That's assuming Marvel doesn't do another teenage X Men movie which I hope they don't.
A few people on here shat on me for saying it would comfortably outgross The Force Awakens WW and this was just a few weeks before release. When it comes to predicting the BO on here, there are a shitload of bad takes.
Did Aladdin really overperform though? If I were Disney, looking at how much Beauty and the Beast made, and then looking at how much Aladdin is projected to make, would I be happy?
It's also got a 183 Million budget, at present it's looking like it's probably going to be just a bit over breaking even.
Not like Disney is going to complain too much when they are very likely going to have 1st, 2nd and 3rd for the Summer Box Office with Endgame, Lion King and Toy Story.
Oh wow, I had no idea. I knew it would beat it's WW gross as soon as I read how fast those tickets were selling out.
Aladdin was expected to open below Solo and drop off immediately but it opened higher than Solo and has had really good legs so far.
It has a good shot at $300m domestic, which is nearly double what was expected before release.
True, I forgot about John Wick 3. I do remember reading an article saying that ticket sales are down YoY and that would make sense given all the "bombas" we've seen so far. I mostly say this because I pegged SLOP 2 as a guarantee for a $100M DOM opening and if it comes in at half that then that seems very telling.
Edit: Yeah, according to BOMojo, sales are down 7.8% YoY.

It's had so many highs and lows and made people's careers. Hard to think where Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds would be without the X-Men.
Just post it. Because you just made me waste 2 minutes looking for it.
Probably the best trailer yet tbh. Nice seeing Simba and Mufasa playing.
Only irksome thing was Scar's dialogue not seeming to be emoted very well.
I thought the X-Men franchise was doing pretty well not that long ago Days of Future Past + Logan were very well received and then you had Deadpool spinning off into a huge success.
For whatever reason they just shat the bed with the last two movies.
If you don't have a good script, you really have nothing.

I'm all in for The Lion King and enjoyed Aladdin too, but damn they are straight up re-using exact shots from the original quite a lot from the looks of it.
How did the Aladdin remake end up being more colorful than this movie.
It seems to be exactly the same as it was in the Jungle Book (unfortunately).
The movie looks absolutely gorgeous , that's not a question. Yeah the colors are muted but it still looks pretty beautiful.
The problem is when there's any character on character interaction, it just doesn't look organic at all...looks off.
Whenever Simba is doing anything at all , his expression and emote looks absolutely the same.
Been harping on this but Jungle Book works soooo much better because it has a human character. Maybe I'll be wrong when it comes out but nothing at all has swayed my feelings on the character interactions yet.

Not surprising since Saturday and Sunday last weekend Aladdin performed better
I'm impressed with Aladdin. Already close to 500MM WW and 200MM domestic. After the first trailer I was thinking 160MM domestic and 350-400MM WW. It's looking like it'll do 600-700MM.
I need Frozen 2 to do less than 426,239,002 domestic. Everything else can stay. Thanks!

Uhhh Endgame way overperformed. Going into opening weekend most people didn't think $300 million was physically even possible due to run time and that $280 was the ceiling. The highest grossing weekend when factoring in all movie grosses was at $318 million. But it alone crushed both records. Not only that but we thought it would barely get 1 billion worldwide OW it even crushed that record.
Before the fastes movie to 1 billion was IW at 11 days, and the fastest to 2 billion was Avatar at 47 days. Endgame did 2 billion in 10 days. This is some wild out there record smashing never before seen.
But all people care about is Avatar.
Overall attendance has been dropping for some time, and we've never seen a 300m opener. It's irresponsible to contextualize endgames legs as bad without doing some math work to make projections or having more movies opening in that range to compare against.
Personally I think Aladdin both is both overperforming based on reception from trailers + critics and underperforming from its fullest potential lol
