Quick: What will make me mad less: Argylle or Madame Web? These are the movie options for us today. I am aware both have terrible reviews. But what’s the relatively better movie?

I'd go for Madame just for kiis. Argylle just seems like a convoluted mess. At least Dakota knew she was making a bomb.

Any reporting on how the Tenet reissue is doing?

$600k at 55 locations for the weekend. A good result.

Wow! Especially impressive given how few show times there were.

Especially for a bad movie. I know they want to make it an event, but from a Oscar campaign perspective, they should have re-issued his most acclaimed films in Imax (Inception, Interstellar) rather than the one everyone said was too circumvallated and egostatic.

Strong start for Dune: Part Two, with $12M previews ($2M EA shows+ $10MThursday). Headed for a $71-78M weekend. IMAX/PLF sales are huge and well spread through to Sunday. 

[BNF91]

Dune: Part Two early Friday estimates looking like $32-34M. Locks up $70M, should be headed for $75-80M+. 

 

Bringing some much needed life to the box office. 

 

Exit scores are downright amazing, with 5/5 stars and 94% positive PostTrak/Comscore exit ratings as well as an "A" Cinema score, a new career best for Denis Villeneuve and Timothee Chalamet.

For sure, the complete sold out IMAX is pushing people to wait for the next weekend or days to see it in the best condition, like Avatar 2.

interesting demographic chart for 2023 box office hits; I assume based on OW numbers

 

the ones that skewed the most:

women - eras tour, trolls band together, barbie/wonka

men - the flash, John wick, blue beetle

 

 

white men - killers of the flower moon

white women - the eras tour

hispanic men - blue beetle

hispanic women - trolls band together

black men - creed 3

black women - the little mermaid

asian men - John wick

asian women - elemental 

all of these have a matching lead character with that demographic, except for trolls band together. though I suppose Camila is on the cast list, albeit not high up there.

I see holy WoM spreading across the universe like unquenchable fire..

 

Dune Part Two has an abnormal Saturday jump for a fan-heavy sci-fi sequel. An incredible +40% gives it a $29M Saturday. $80M locked, $83M possible/likely.

It’s extremely viral on TikTok for the last two days so not surprised this would also bring in a younger dem + old folks for the visual praise 

[BNF91]

Timothee Chalamet is the lead in the two biggest films since last summer. Talk about a moment.

This should be $181-183M once actuals comes out. Great 

[BNF91]

+$4M update for Dune: Part Two's global debut (+$1M Dom/+$3M OS)

 

$82.5/$100M- $182.5M 

 

Officially beats Oppenheimer's domestic debut by $100k 

[BNF91]

Very early Monday

 

$7.25M 

[Aethereal]

Migration has now reached 277M in box office.

Looks like we could be in for a tight race for #1 this weekend as Dune Part Two has held remarkably during the week ($6.5M early est. Wed, $104.4M 6-day total) and may also challenge for a high $40M 2nd wknd, with $50M as the high end. 

 

Either way, theatres will be loving having two $40M+ movies on one weekend. If Imaginary and Cabrini can have solid debuts, all the better. 

 

Bob Marley should also hold well for about $4.5-5.5M as it is about 2 weeks away from reaching $100M domestic itself.

I bet Kung Fu Panda 4 will be number one this weekend with Dune part 2 being second.
