I saw Aladdin the other night, and honestly it wasn't that bad...I guess it helps having lowered expectations lol.
MIB's marketing has been universally terrible, so this doesn't surprise me. If the movie had been better and they'd cracked how to sell it, I think this could've been a big hit.
It'll drop for actuals just like Godzilla and Dark Phoenix did...
I wonder if there's any chance for that MIB/Jump Street idea still or it's totally dead. Because if this bombs they aren't going to be making normal MIB movies for a long time.
Man, I love Animaniacs. I always loved that "pay or play contract" joke in the opener.
LOL this movie came out no where. I thought they were rereleasing Atomic Blonde
Luc Besson film the studio doesn't want to say in its marketing is a Luc Besson film because Valerian flopped and also six women accused him of rape
Anna's trailer had catchy music I'll give it that.
I've noticed the full service dining theater in town is usually sold out for new movies' 7pm Thursday shows, even for bombs like KOTM and Dark Phoenix. MIB's 7pm showtime tonight isn't even half full.

The new Shaft looked terrible, not having John Singleton(RIP) involved was always a bad look. The first SLJ one is a classic.
"You think that makes me less dangerous, or more dangerous?"
"Puto, why you flinch?"
"This boy you don't know, you see him you run as fast as you can. NOW WHAT'S MY NAME?"

Spidey's first billion dollar picture? Let's hope (it it's good, which it's very, very much looking like it is)
That number for Spider-Man should hopefully go up closer to release.
That $150m is for the 6 day opening; Spider-Man 2 did $180m for its 6 day opening.

First Contact should be higher. It changed my view on Star Trek movies as a whole, period. No question. Really well done.
It's Thursday, which means time to speculate on which films will have the most savage theater count drops.
Godzilla and Ma definitely gonna take the worst hits of everything. Wick will probably lose a healthy chunk too. Could see Pikachu and Endgame losing about 500 and dropping to the 1500 theater range total.
Can Brightburn and Booksmart drop below 1000 this week?

This seems low for 6 days. Homecoming did $154M in its first 6 days of release.
For comparison's sake:
Black Panther did $277M
Captain Marvel did $187M
Ragnarok did $147M
AMaTW did $98M.

AM I the only person who liked Genesis? Putting it on the same level as Insurrection is mind-numbing.
The reviews for Toy Story 4 have been so overwhelmingly positive it feels like whiplash after the rather tepid response it's marketing has had
My mom was a huge Next Generation fan and dragged me to see Nemesis. lol
I hate seeing all the unique films having Limited on them. How are they supposed to turn a profit? Chicken and egg scenario.
The idea is to turn a profit by being limited. Theater expansions cost money.
Yeah that would actually be disappointing IMO. If we're comparing it to past movies then it has to do at least 180 to keep pace with previous iterations. I think it will end up opening higher in the end but we'll see if that actually happens.
I think it does closer to Captain Marvel at $180mm.
But maybe Spider-Man has a ceiling lower than most people assumed.
Seeing that Shaft tweet and I wonder,
I could see FFH doing $150m-$180m opening weekend in NA.

Just get ready for a lot of drive by posts when its OW is low and people don't look at the three days it was open before that.
I agree with you that I think it will be something closer to CM and could potentially do north of $200M if it reviews well and has good WoM. This movie is really going to tell us if the Marvel train is running full steam ahead or already approaching the station.
Yeah, whoever makes the thread for that weekend is going to need to be extremely mindful to represent the opening numbers appropriately since it's releasing in an unconventional way. With that being said, it could still have a $100-125M traditional OW.
If you are talking about Fri-Sat-Sun, it would have to be a massive success to reach that number and I mean on the levels of Black Panther.
A big chunk of the discussion will be in the thread for the previous weekend since it opens on a Tuesday. So we will have like 1-2 days of normalcy before the train goes off the rails.
Normalcy? What's that.A big chunk of the discussion will be in the thread for the previous weekend since it opens on a Tuesday. So we will have like 1-2 days of normalcy before the train goes off the rails.
Checking the box office for Spidey and Homecoming had the odd distinction of having the harshest 2nd weekend drop but some of the franchise's healthier legs from that point on
Here's to hoping we can hold it all together.A big chunk of the discussion will be in the thread for the previous weekend since it opens on a Tuesday. So we will have like 1-2 days of normalcy before the train goes off the rails.
