Essential Box Office Tracking, Predictions, Results And Discussion (Predator falls,Jack Black Surprises)

Mission Impossible is the must see movie for the rest of this summer. It took me back to what summer blockbusters used to feel like

Yeah I thought it was strange they didn’t do it with ant man but hey,as long as it gets there who cares.

Before release even after the first trailer I would have guessed like a $750M WW total for black panther. A great result.

The fact it’s about to do $700M domestic is fukking insane. It out performed even people’s most wild expectations.

It deserves it though. By far the best MCU film and a classic CBM. Hats off to coogler. Anything he does is day 1.

That Scott Mendelson guy from Forbes wrote an interesting article the other day, essentially cautioning that BP's success may have 'spiked the punch' a bit and we shouldn't be surprised if we look back to find Ant & the Wasp's (or Doctor Strange's) 500-600m WW box office totals to be closer to the new norm for future MCU franchises, outside of the big teamups.

It's interesting because, before A&tW, 4 of Marvel's last 5 films were essentially teamups/cast of character flicks: GotG2 (800m+), Homecoming (800m+), Ragnorak (800m+), and Infinity War (2b+). Leaving BP (1.3b+) as their one true "solo" movie since Dr. Strange (680m) iirc. Granted, DS had a 165m production budget, so 680m (230m domestic) is still a good profit, and also i'm pretty sure Marvel is going to team-up everything anyway moving forward, making it all moot.

Still, I think Captain Marvel's box office will provide some further clarity when it comes to these new IPs coming into the spotlight.

Christopher Robin is doing another skyscraper where the tracking was originally big and as we got closer it got smaller and smaller and then it even came in under the last revised estimates.


Personally I thought the look of the characters was off putting. I wonder if others felt the same. Reviews weren’t amazing but they weren’t poor either.

I never got why people were seemingly so hyped up over Christopher Robin. Those trailers were a combo of dull and creepy as fukk.

Nostalgia. Disney’s #1 Commodity.

If they had just done an all CGI Pooh movie they would have probably made bank.
This mixing it with live-action and having Pooh and them look like demonic dolls from a horror movie was a bad idea.

Agreed. I find them creepy. I’m surprised they greenlit that decision. Even James Wan would be like

Excellent drop for Fallout; well deserved. It's the best action movie of the Summer. Disney put out a lukewarm Pooh.

Only thing that matters this weekend is that this will likely be Black Panther's final weekend in theaters, and Disney done initiated the Wrinkle in Time protocols

Made $12,000 Thursday night alone on just 15 theaters, that's a 3,048.00% increase in profit after doing like $400 bucks Wednesday And they're adding 10 more theaters this weekend, for good measure

@Achille @Ziggiy @wire28 them accountants are (finally) accountin'


We gon be bumping some threads on Sunday

Ain't no legs on pooh, that's a certified flop right there.
