    i saw the trailer once and havent seen any discourse on the movie so this might be a hot take but that s*** kinda looked like Offbrand Dark Knight im not gonna lie

    didnt seem special at all

    In short most people have been like “ it’s Batman “ is it much improved and story looks better than most “ yes” will it do well in box office with vaccine numbers up and no hbo max ? Yes

    but it should be all of these things fam theaters are back much more than they were during Godzilla vs Kong. Obvi its the biggest weekend for everything when you compare it to pandemic numbers

    you should be comparing it to other films that have released recently which in relation to them its just plain not doing well

    Those movies don't have a same day streaming release so that makes it hard comparison. And ones that did like Halloween Kills are holiday franchise movies so that makes sense (and this film didnt do anything oversees)

    There was a report a few days ago they were eyeing 70M from this weekend in the markets they were dropping (U.S, China, etc..) They are hitting or topping that number most likely. And its already been out for a month and done well oversees.

    Its already set to top $200M with its whole U.S run remaining. Seems about right. Its not like this movie was ever seeing 500-1B in this environment

    Bad take.

    Batman was trending for like 5 days straight and it brought triple more viewers to dc dome than last year

    Directors need to bring back threatening to kill the studio exec if they dont fund your movie.

    Or getting funded by shady asian business man.

    Scorsese was truly a visionary for both of those things

    Ahh. I noticed when you critique a film they tend to blame it on films that have no effect on it.

    I mean sure but the only way that big an ip is gonna flop is if the movie is truly shockingly bad.(See BvS)

    Matrix will do ~$50M domestically first weekend in my opinion

    ~65 is my prediction.

    Halloween Kills hasnt even opened in Dune's 4 biggest overseas markets, has less than half of Dune's score on rottentomatoes, the 12th movie in a horror franchise, and nor is it based on a book that is a top 3 selling Sci Fi novel of all time

    Dune should not be doing less than Halloween it really shouldnt especially not potentially $20M less. Not to mention Halloween didnt even get IMAX release and 24-25% of Dune's ticket sales are IMAX which means they make a lot more money usually

    saying Halloween should do well bc its a holiday franchise movie is just BS btw the numbers are really impressive all things considered while Dune's #s arent very impressive
