I doubt it makes it to $150 million. My guess is somewhere in the $130-$140 million range.
I walked out to a handful of people saying they couldn't wait for the sequel because they wanted to see Carnage.
I've learned a few things from the box office chart
- Bad movies still make money
- Unlike video games, movies can get scores under 50%

I'm not going to see Goosebumps 2 in theaters but I'm excited about it since the first one was decent and Goosebumps are the books that got me into reading. I really hope it's good.
Im hoping Horrorland features heavily into the plot since that was the original name and One Day at Horrorland was my favorite Goosebumps book.
So I went on the RT website and saw that the audience score was high. Does that mean this movie might have some good legs?
Terrible movie. For anyone who wants a 10 second recap....
- First 10 minutes
- Ignorant GF doesn't know BF is a rich Singapore guy
- BF invites GF to join him in Sinagpore for a wedding, and then surprise her with his own marriage proposal
- Next hour is watching rich Singapore people, giant houses, fast cars and exotic beach sets. Think Lifestyles of Rich and Famous tv show. Includes stereotypical Asian dude with chop socky English shooting rocket launchers off a container ship
- Next half hour is BF's mom being a snob and hates Americans and poorer class people
- Mom and GF bitch and moan leading to crying
- Odd sub plot that doesn't fit the movie but pops up every 20 minutes.... BF's buddy is married to a rich hot Asian chick. She puts him down as a poor boy, so he cheats on her and she finds out. Marriage in tatters
- Final half hour GF makes a stand while playing mahjong, and the mom changes heart
- BF proposes anyway, and the mom approves by giving him her huge ass emerald wedding ring as a symbol of approval
- Everyone is happy and more expensive sets are shown
- The end

In a show of how much you were paying attention:
In that "odd" subplot, that was the BF's sister and her husband. He talked about her at the beginning of the movie and how she was the nicest one in the family. She also didn't put him down as a poor boy, she just knew he wanted to make it on his own so she tried not to show off her wealth.
Man it's almost like if you broke down movies and story beats into their most basic one-sentence summaries and removed all acting, characters, development, cinematography, filmmaking, charm, script, and human freaking emotion, they sound not great.
Oops sorry I spilled my CinemaSins all over the floor make sure not to trip over them as you walk in.

Australia has a significant Asian (or of Asian decent) population so it's not a shock to me. The only shocking thing about CRA is that Warner still aren't gonna release it over here in the Nordics, for no apparent reason (romantic comedies tend to play well).
Oh, I forgot to post the long range tracking update again, no new entries but some changes:
Bad Times is having a... bad time (sorrynotsorry) with these tracking reports, it dropped 8% in last weeks and double digits in this one.
It would be hilarious if Venom broke the October record only for Halloween to take it two weeks later.
Code:
Bad Times at the El Royale $9,500,000 -14% $30,000,000 -12%
Hunter Killer $11,000,000 -21% $32,000,000 -21%
Halloween $65,000,000 +8% $160,000,000 +7%It would be hilarious if Venom broke the October record only for Halloween to take it two weeks later.
Oh I just thought that would mean people are enjoying the film and WoM is good. Nvm then. I just want Sony to learn to not fuck shit up too much.
Some context, via Deadline:
Wow who really the fuck knows how this is going to do legs wise, it could very be the next Oscar Winning Suicide Squad.

Yea I feel it'll make enough to justify itself.
Been hearing alot from people on twitter that it definitely could have been better, but they aren't upset that they watched it. And they really loved Venom and the interactions with Brock.
Sometimes audiences like good dumb fun.

As someone who works as an usher at a movie theater I have to say: Fuck Venom and it's decade long credit sequence. I was way behind schedule all day yesterday because of it.

They paid all that money for Eminem. They wanted to hold people hostage until it was finished. But the regular scrawl after the first stinger did seem to go on forever.
It does go on forever, the audience in the first showing were getting antsy for it to be over too. The five minute long Into The Spiderverse sequence didn't help matters either.
I'm mixed I don't care about this movie but I really want that Carnage movie....
THE PEOPLE LOVE US! GREENLIGHT THE AUNT MAY MOVIE, THIS SPIDEY CINEMATIC UNIVERSE IS HAPPENING
THANKS FEIGE WE'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE

How do you even do PG-13 Carnage?
Is he just going to store them in a cocoon/freezer or someshit

Sounds like all those tendrils ain't gonna make up for a lack of legs.

Friday numbers:
Worth noting is that Assassination Nation is nowhere to be seen I do wonder wh-
Oh.
Wait. Don't bury the lead. Pepperment's PTA was $16. A 2 ticket average across 800+ venues. I wonder if Mojo forgot a zero or something. Crazy if not.
What a way to describe happiness, and excitement, "Mr. Body Language Expert". :P
Look, I already forgot that it existed. But uh yeah, its PTAs this week have been on the weak side... to say the least. Unless there is multiple typos
And to think, Peppermint was beating Unbroken 2 PTA earlier this week, only for a Path to Redemption to happen on the weekend.Look, I already forgot that it existed. But uh yeah, its PTAs this week have been on the weak side... to say the least. Unless there is multiple typos
