DamianSolo Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I hate that Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is flopping the way it is, but that's to be expected. The DCEU is officially dead. Wonka was pretty good, and this is on my list to be watched. Even through them stumbling, Warner Bros. still seems to win. I hope they can get their minds right for the DCU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Year of Shadow Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 It's so interesting how we went full course to the 2000s where Spider-Man, Batman and Superman are the only superheroes the GP cares about + Joker as the most beloved villain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Year of Shadow Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I can't wait for Superman's first trailer to drop, this has potential to be my favorite superhero movie ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because I am not American, I don't understand inclusion of superman. In movie space, x-men seemed bigger than superman in 2000s, and naturally it felt like GP cared about Wolverine more than Superman. It did seems like deja vu with batman still being the anchor for DC, and we literally got Tobey's spider man about to 2000s x-men in Deadpool 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a weird run, the total will be what, 4x Opening Day? But 100M$ budget doomed this from the start, even if it crawls to 100M on BO it will still lose money. There was quite few movies this year with needlessly huge budgets that bombed, hopefully it makes studios be more realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fridayteenage Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Well it wouldn't be the most frontloaded ever. Some movies that didn't make 4x opening day, with at least $10 mil opening: Marvels - 3.9x (so far) Twilight Breaking Dawn I - 3.9x About Last NIght - 3.8x All Eyez On Me - 3.5x Dragon Ball Super Super Hero - 3.5x Renaissance - 2.9x (so far) (horror) Purge - 3.8x Paranormal Activity 4 - 3.6x Five Nights at Freddys - 3.5x (so far) Friday the 13th - 3.4x Texas Chainsaw- 3.4x Devil Inside - 3.2x Halloween Ends - 3.1x Scanned through the 100 biggest 2nd weekend drops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think though that the Christmas corridor is a unique time of year that usually allows for longer legs than usual due to the holidays. So I feel like comparing movies released before like ~dec 15 is a little misleading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridayteenage Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 The only movie to open in over 2000 theaters, increase 2nd weekend, and drop by less than 10% 3rd weekend is Titanic. Looks like Sydney Sweeney will do it now. Friday-to-Friday drops yesterday: Anyone But You 2% Iron Claw 23% Boys in the Boat 35% Wonka 50% Aquaman 54% Migration 56% Color Purple 69% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between this, which is doing really nicely considering the small budget, and No Hard Feelings hopefully there's enough evidence for them to just stop shipping everything to Netflix directly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
