It's why I went to it and Show Dogs. Listen to the Show Dogs one if you haven't. It's like the best Goodwin has ever been on the show, "Please Coleman, let me spoil the fuck out of this".
Sadly, I'm taking a bunch of Ls on box office number predictions despite the quality being there for some films.
Except for Incredibles. That I'm taking the win on. Because everyone said otherwise.

I saw that one too. You ain't lying when say it's the best Goodwin has been. The show declined when Girts left but improved when Goodwin left. It was neutral when Danielle left.
Oz continues to be the low key MVP.
7.5. Would have been higher if they skipped the slow setup at the start and had more goofy venom scenes.

Some of you are doing what happens every year with Late December releases and declare bombs before the holiday craziness even begins. Mary Poppins almost certainly is not getting the lofty 300M+ that some predicted, but nutcracker talk is silly. You don't even have to invoke magic Greatest Showman legs to get around $150M domestic from the Wed/Thurs start at this point in the year.
Passengers had a 22M 5-day start and made 100M. Sing had a 55M 5-day and finished at $270M. Even shitty Assassins Creed was over 3x its 5-day opening and that had the xmas version of BvS legs.

So $160m is off the table then. It'll end about $80m below the first. That's really bad.Check out this week's venue drops
Movies are always contracted for the first two weeks. Unless Universal wants to give up their screens, it won't lose anything till next weekend

Deadline dropped their Aquaman Friday estimate to 27.7M (from 30M).

I figured as much when I looked at that, but it was still surprising to see, haha. Thanks for the confirmation.
Spider-Man still showing on more than 3,000 screens is good news. So many mediocre comic movies made hundreds of millions, and we have a genuine love letter to the medium and it's pulling in the same kinds of numbers popular romantic comedies or goofy teen grossouts pull. Criminal man. Miles is the best comic character to get translated to film since Peter Parker in Raimi's Spider-Man. I hope it stays strong for the next two weekends to encourage Sony and Marvel to make more of them.
They really should've gone with the brother, and sister hooking up angle I thought the trailer was hinting at.
See, ya I was totally expecting the brother and sister to rightfully be boning based off of the trailer. I was almost disappointed when they revealed his wife just died and they entered into this weird Full House-esque living arrangement in the next one.
Guessing Aquaman gonna end up somewhere between $900-950 million worldwide. Imagine if that happens. Highest grossing superhero after Iron Man, Black Panther, and Batman. Pretty hilarious when you think about it. (Civil War don't count for Captain America; got his ass carried by Iron Man.)
It ended up below Wonder Woman in France, actually.
Looks like we're gonna be one of the very few territories where it's going to underperform but DC films just never do well here.
Edit: actually, its first screening numbers were way lower than Wonder Woman and Justice League but it caught up to them a day later, so word of mouth seems to be good. Maybe it'll top WW in the long run.
WB slept on DC properties there weren't Batman, Superman, Batman, or Batman for way too long.
I wonder if they regret delaying Flash so Ezra can do Fantastic Beasts 3, and not the other way around.
Aquaman's the one I've mainly been interested in due to wanting to see Atlantis in live action. It's the special effects and stuff and how you could portray the water world. It has a lot of potential in live action and something that's different from the other superhero properties which mostly blend into the same old shit really.
They can't depend on one big franchise. They're gonna lick they're wounds and make some adjustments like they did with DC
It's going to have a drum-off with Ant Man's drumming ant, greatest crossover event in the history of cinema.
I honestly bet on most DC movies doing as well as Aquaman, as long as they're good movies/crowd pleasers.
Birds of Prey is the one I see being a huge hit.

Saw spiderverse lastnight, whew! What a great movie. All I could think off after is I hadn't left a movie that satisfied in a long time, felt like I needed a cigarette after lol
Hmm is it possible Bumblebee tops Poppins this weekend or will it be more frontloaded?
OP
OP
Bumblebee was under 6M on Friday without the previews money from Thursday and last week
Final reported budget for Bumblebee (not including marketing) is $135m. About the same as Mary Poppins.
My brother's linked me the trailer for Welcome to Marwen when it first came out; and I couldn't stop laughing at how bad it looked and how dumb the premise was. Glad to see that the moviegoing audience agreed.
If it's bad enough, might be worth watching once it goes to digital/redbox.

I know Aquaman is doing great and that's cool, but this December is telling me one thing so far: December is Star Wars season, and Star Wars is a juggernaut (domestically).
Thats not necessarily true. Someone at Disney picked a bewildering selection of properties to turn into live action. Its amazing AWIT and Poppins performed as well as they did, and Solo was a bad idea handicapped by disaatrous production
