Joker definitely isn't bombing. I don't think the budget is high enough for that to happen. I honestly think that film is going to blow up.

I personally believe they're going to try and stop the slide by mixing things up a bit. I loved his Harry Potter films and enjoyed the first FB but I think it's time to move on from Yates and continue the FB series under a new director.
Man.
That's crazy.
I finally saw Aqua... it was just okay. I don't understand the hype for it.
Bumble should have done way better. Amazing movie.

Of the four I listed I think Joker has the best chance of doing well, particularly because of the low budget. It seems like such an off beat one, however, so I could see it struggling.
I definitely think a Joker movie could be huge but Todd Phillips is such a weird choice for director. Someone like Dan Gilroy could create a really disturbing world that would draw in horror types. Not sure the Hangover guy has that in him.
It's hilarious that of all companies they have the US distribution rights for the next Bond...
I don't think many people realized that Spider-verse has had staggered releases. Those numbers are good as well.

Too bad the rest of the world doesn't care. China is getting close to 45% of the entire international take. Only Brazil and Japan are left to open from the major territories.
All sites are pointing to something different/similar.

Aquaman getting the Devil number. Granted I got it from Wiki and I just noticed Fantastic 2 is in 10
It was nice having a production company basically giving blank checks to talented filmmakers who aren't Nolan or Tarantino but... not exactly the most sustainable strategy

That list hasn't been updated for this week. Aquaman is 7th, on its way to being 5th. Fantastic Beasts is 10th.
EDIT: This has to be the first year in a while where all 6 major studios landed at least 1 film in the Top 10.
So glad to see Fallout up there. Terrific film!
Also happy that Aquaman is doing so well. Is Wan Billion gonna happen?
Todd Phillips did War Dogs? Optimism growing even more for Joker. I think the chances of it bombing are slim to none personally.
I mean it's a Phillips movie. His movie, his screenplay. It wouldn't be a thing without him.
This movie seems more of an low-mid budget experiment than anything. Really curious to see how it turns out.
Hasn't opened in many places yet. Doesn't get to china until January 4th
Spiderverse for sure. It's a legitimately arresting movie that is a better story with way better visuals
Joker will be a hit.
My social media feed was crazy when they first showed Phoenix in his Joker make up.

I didn't believe it until I saw it last night. It's an insane movie. With a budget of only 160-200 million!
Robin Hood and Welcome To Marwen and Mortal Engines are in the OP chart, ain't our fault if it's too sad to even point and laugh at at this point
Yeah Bohemian Rhapsody in that list is just so weird to me especially with all the issues it had.
It's a crowd pleaser if you give zero fucks about historic accuracy.
Yup 😂😂
CBMs aren't going anywhere. It took several decades for people to tire of westerns and they were releasing 20-40 of those fuckers a year.
Yea it was!
Seeing how well it did in it's second weekend makes me more optimistic that maybe Paramount and Habsro will see that people legit love this movie and give Travis Knight the keys to the franchise.
At least it will cross the $100 million mark domestically. I was concerned it was going to do $60-80 and just kill off the franchise completely.
Unless the rumors that Disney hires Knight for GotG3 turn out to be true. Though I guess depending on the scheduling, he could do both.
I just want Justin Lin to do a Transformers movie, though I'm not sure if Paramount will give him another franchise after Beyond (which is a shame).
