Hoping it can jump back up to the early estimates by the end of the weekend when actuals are counted. This is the exact same as Aladdin. Still pretty damn good facing Spiderverse debut.

Yesterday it was a national holiday but yes all the weekdays have been good, like if some people didn't go in the weekend but went during the week (summer here is a time when weekdays can be stronger than weekends, especially sundays).

 

Spider man here is just a fan event. Probably its total run will be lower than TLM first weekend (5M).

Jafar in the remake was hot AF. If I was Jasmine I would marry him with no magic involved in very beginning.

56% drop from a movie that undeperformed 1st week, and flopped overseas is still bad. That movie was just ok. It's beyond time to let go of live action remakes.

Nope, Aladdin had great legs the fact that TLM is keeping up with it, it's amazing. The only problem is if those predictions are accurate.

 

TLM wont go far away $600M WW though and wont break-even with Box Office alone. That's a fact.

A respectable drop. Not a complete bomb that others like to tout around here.

 

[BNF91]

Please this is the post Memorial Day weekend where audiences really start the shift towards the weekdays and it's clear from the Friday bumps by all films. A 56% drop 2nd weekend is great, especially as it is matching Aladdin's raw number too. No reason why it shouldn't replicate at least some of the legs that Aladdin saw for the summer.

Call me optimistic but I feel like this movie will have legs. It’s undoubtedly one of if not Disney’s best live action remake. Im planning to see it again

Girl same, I’m really rooting for this one and will be seeing this again too. I love Halle and her amazing vocals but I will also be watching for my Prince Eric Jonah Hauer-King 

[chosensparkles]

#2 in France again on Saturday 

[CosTaSsSs]

Gonna watch this again once my sister and friend return from vacations! 

[Dialamba]

can we talk about her vocals

My thots: 

I thought it was pretty good overall, with the mindset it mostly for kids. Idk why my expectations were pretty low but definitely left with a positive impression. The graphics were stunning! Definitely had a magical feel. I did feel the ending was quite rushed though?

Halle, Mellissa and scuttle/flounder/seb did a good job. The other actors were quite wooden imo. I know Awkwafina gets dragged sometimes but she did a really good job. 

[industry baby]

I’m at the cinema to watch this and i’m only one in their 20s 

Its all kids and their parents here ihihihi , i feel stupid but anyways imma enjoy this movie

Yes, i feel like this movie will benefit from word of mouth, people have been really positive. 

 

They have uploaded the scuttlebutt scene on youtube. If they”re smart they release Kiss The Girl when the numbers start dropping and Part Of Your World to give it a final boost. They also have the second half of Under The Sea that hasnt been uploaded yet.

 

The whole marketing has been a slow burn from the beginning. They started with the darkest scenes, and muted colors. Only for the brightest stuff to be revealed last.

$40.6M 2nd wknd domestic, $187M running total. On the lower end of what I thought but still, a 57% drop is solid for this weekend. Anything below 60% was a good sign IMO.

Sure, Jan.

OS with a beautiful hold! $42.6M wknd down just 38% from last wknd. $141M running total. It can still get to $275M OS before Japan release, which means $300M+ still possible.

 

Global weekend take is $83M (-51%), for $327M running total. With Domestic looking safe to clear $300M and then some, we can still reach $625-650M total, or more.
