I have no idea why you wouldn't release First Man in July 2019, you know, the 50th anniversary of the actual moon landings?
gotta contend for Oscars now b
plus this type of movie doesnt really fit with the summer blockbuster season
(it didnt seem to fit this month either but eh)
It's really just not an interesting premise to general audiences honestly. Everyone knows what happens. The trailers did it no favors.
Compare it to Apollo 13. You knew what was going to happen but...
"Houston, we have a problem."
That shit put butts in seats.
You gon make a big space movie like that, there's gotta be some kinda crowdpleasing element. The humor and can-do camaraderie of The Martian, the visceral thrills of Gravity, the sense of wonder and open sentiment of Interstellar.
First Man stars the most boring man on the planet, shot in shaky color drained close-ups, with set pieces that are shaky close-ups of buttons and glass helmets. Aint nobody trying to see that, dawg. Going to the Moon in and out itself isn't special when Star Wars has taken us to dozens of planets already.

This sounded great on paper, but that first trailer was disastrous
Oh well

Meh, the first screenings for Deadpool 2 were apparently also a disaster. Grain of salt
First Man was great, audiences just don't appreciate good films half the time. How else do you think Marvel and Bayformers movies are such big financial successes lol
Nah, for two movies that are exactly the same length. One felt a hell of a lot longer. First Man was too long and needed some structure work.
Bohemian Rhapsody is killing it so far. Deadline's estimate for the weekend has shot up to $49M when tracking was in the mid-30's. With the mixed reviews and the controversy surrounding Bryan Singer this has to be one of the shocks of the year. Its also sucking up all of Nutcracker's air. May not even make $20M this weekend!
Star is Born is still showing excellent legs, with another 25% drop even with a competing music based film launching. $200M domestic seems possible now. Maybe with the help of a re-release at Oscar time.

Rami Malek has been killing the promo pole dance. Well deserved.
Hopefully his star continues to rise. We need more boy stars who can rock a double breasted.

I think Woody gonna shiv Spaceman for snitching on the rest of the gang in this one .

Low 200M range if this wasn't an award contender. Hard to say as it is. It will depend on whether ASIB gets a big re-expansion. The Martian was at $175M by this point, with a better 5th Friday. That finished with $228M domestic.
Honestly, has Disney Live-Action ever been good? Like, I'm trying to wrack my head for a non-Marvel, non-Star Wars film of theirs that was decent and I just can't think of anything except Pirates 1.
ASIB > Venom domestic is still on track
Unless Venom also gets nominated for Best Picture because all bets are off then

He's going to go on a 30 minute savage rant against modern toys, and technology.
Said it many times, it this year's Greatest Showman/Lala Land. Shit is going to have legs for days.

They used to make a lot of films beyond Marvel and Star wars
https://www.boxofficemojo.com/studio/chart/?view2=allmovies&view=company&studio=buenavista.htm
A little movie called THE ROCK?
Also Enchanted? One of their best movies?
Talking specifically about Disney-branded stuff, as obviously there was a lot of good films under Touchstone/Hollywood/Miramax/Dimension.
Their live action remakes aren't amazing but they're waaaaaay better than their yearly "who the fuck is this for" live action releases that bomb spectacularly at the box office every time
A little walking around money.
He hates nearly all the blockbusters he has been in
The biggest issue with the genre is that after the fact of release it has limited appeal. Everyone knows what it is and what they'll get, which is an odd thing to say, but the slasher genre has never really competed strongly over time of release. 66% could just be the movie readjusting from the upfront hype and interest that got so
many people to see it so quickly.
Why would anyone go see a movie called Halloween once the holiday has passed? This is normal.
Venom is aligning pretty strongly to Logan (and will probably beat it this week) which earned another 21m at the box office.
As good as ASIBs Friday hold is (-25) Venom is no slouch either with (-31).
Justice League 5th Friday $1,063,461
29th Total $216,349,808
Venom 5th Friday $1,975,000
29th Total $192,788,348
Venom is 24m behind Justice League but did almost twice as much this Friday. Justice League earned roughly another 15m from this point, meaning that if Friday holds for the rest of Venoms run it could earn another 26-28m, beating Justice League. Venom looks like it might be overtaking Logan on a weekly basis which earned another 19m from this point, Venom could just barely recover the 24m needed to beat Justice League over the remainder of its run. :P
It could depend on it getting a re-release, as it's still 35m behind. They could end up virtually tied.
I knew it would be successful but I never imagined an R-rated musical making this much money and barely dropping every single week (especially this week when another musical came out). I wonder how much money it would have made if it were PG-13 instead. It feels like the only real reason it was R is because of how much they say fuck lol.
There's plenty of sexuality/substance abuse in there
(also theres a blink and ya miss it shot of naked Lady Gaga standing up in the bath tub telling Bradley Cooper to get out)
