They haven't updated yet. And @humminbird it's not crazy that some people believe Top Gun 2 is better. The practical effects of TG2 vs. BP's messy cgi ... come on lol

My Thoughts ​

---

Three Sony movies see the widest releases this weekend: Spider-Man: No Way Home — The More Fun Stuff Version, The Invitation and Bullet Train, which will play in 3,000+ theaters.

DC League of Super Pets and Top Gun: Maverick, will also play in 3,000+ theaters. Maverick looks to move past Frozen ll for 11th place all time at the Worldwide Box Office. It's $1.442B is just shy of $8M away from Frozen ll's $1.450B.

Beast, playing in 2,788 theaters, looks to cross $30M domestically. It currently stands at $27.3M.

20th Century Studios brings Barbarian to 2,340 theaters, as it looks to pull in $8M in it's debut weekend. The plot summary is:

A woman staying at an Airbnb discovers that the house she has rented is not what it seems.

It's currently at an 80 on Metacritic based on 19 reviews so maybe good word of mouth will help propel it forward.

Minions: The Rise of Gru, is still playing in 2,273 theaters, as it pushes toward $900M worldwide. It has grossed $893.4M so far.

The re-release of Jaws will continue to play in 1,240 theaters. Last weekend, it grossed $2.6M in 1,246 theaters, including IMAX and 3D.

Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva will play in 810 theaters, courteous of Star Studios, AKA Disney India.

Jurassic World: Dominion sees a big decline down to 440 theaters, as it tries to hit $1B. Currently, it stands at $998.1M. With a little more help from Japan, where it's grossed $43.4M since it was released on July 29th, it should be able to do it.

Aight, I'll catch y'all on Sunday.

Considering how it's only done $15.9M domestically, it looks like the moviegoers agree. It did only cost $10M so it's close to breaking even with it's worldwide gross of $19.4M. Sony gon recoup that $10 mill.

Movie came out at the right time.....word of mouth is still powerful. i doubt it would have made this with its original release date in 2020.

By the time of its original 2020 release date, most of the movie theater chains were closing up shop again so there's no way it could have. A non-comic book film is doing exceptionally well, and I think that’s great. The only thing that could be better than that is an original film doing that well.

guess I'm just looking at the placement, moreso than what it made...like if Spidey ain't re-released, it would've been #1


but then again there really wasn't shyt released last week. I think the Invitation was the only newish release

I haven't seen it yet.. is it just a bunch of faggits drag racing jets and playing volleyball? Or are they fighting a real threat?
