Makes me want to see the movie less and less. Everything about the trailers screams Joyner Lucas' 'I'm Not Racist' in movie form.

Slayven had it right with the reverse Driving Miss Daisy line.
And ya, Mortensen really nuked that Q&A. Nothing sells a film about racial understanding like having your white co-lead say the N-word.
You could probably just wait until Sunday at this point. If you still feel like things are matching what you thought would happen, type it up. If things change, you save a some typing. OS hasn't been updated since last Sunday anyhow.
even if they didn't, its barely a signifier of any progress lmao
Look like dream of venom to make 900 million is dead. It won't even reach 215 million in USA. China can't do much more either with aqua man opening soon.
Keep in mind I didn't say 900M was happening just that it was possible. 903.1M was the number based on a nearly perfect storm. Like Kswiston said a week back, 300M+ from China is/was possible.
It will reach 215M in the US. Logan has similar screen cuts at the same time, Venom has mostly been charting above Logan and Logan made another 4M. Don't underestimate positive effect from Thanks Giving in helping Venom reach 215M.
China is going to be around 260M after this weekend. Aquaman or no, Venom is in a decent position in China to continue to make decent contributions. It slightly over performs on weekends versus weekdays, but it has had great holds during the weekdays to offset overall WoW drops. Venom may not even be out of the top 5 when Aquaman hits.

Just saw Widows.....liked it a lot...great performances from a solid screemplay....love Viola Davis she is a great actress, but Rodriguez and Debicki are just as solid .....Daniel Kaluuya is one scary bad guy...
Awesome camera work and framing too....clever and deliberate mood and vision.
May not be everyones cup of tea but it deserves attention and an audience .

There's not even much you can even do with Robin hood as a story. It's completely creatively run down. You can say the same for King arthur but there's more to and honestly don't get many versions that aren't radically different to the medieval versions.

Somewhere around 50%. Black Friday this week is basically a second Saturday.
soooo
is Hoco+ happening
Also, Ralph proving rather frontloaded, but it is a sequel
Haha an error in my excel sheet double counted W3s weekdays omg XD No fucking wonder I kept saying 260 after the weekend and didn't see it anywhere else.
Well because I, a dumbass, formatted my INT (China) excel sheet wrong. I'm not sure at the moment. Venom should still be able to hit 20M over the weekend, but double counting those days effects all % carried forward, so I'll need to fix it and see.
Keep in mind the Friday estimate is still higher than what Fallen Kingdom did on the same day.
Venom 31.1m/1573.5m, +31.6% (JW2 15th day, 24M/1467M/1695M)

So is venom still going to do 850m worldwide when all is said and done?
Keep up the good work my man, I find this tale fascinating and look forward to the updates.

Depends on Chinese holds, which are not really that predictable. Venom will probably get an extension in China past this Thursday's end of the standard 3 week engagement, but I haven't heard news yet on whether that has been confirmed. Venom will probably be a little under $250M by next Thursday ($246-248M?). If it gets extended, I'd guess somewhere in the $260-270M range as a finish. Maybe closer to the former.
Aquaman will steal most of the theatres away, but that doesn't open until Dec 7th.
It seemed possible that Venom would have a really leggy run last weekend, but drops since last weekend didn't really pan out that way.

It knew better than to try and go up against the future ruler of the Chinese box office.
So they can sell a blatant Daffy Duck rip off by simply changing his color to blue?It knew better than to try and go up against the future ruler of the Chinese box office.

Not a certainty for sure, if anything the opposite. But I'm not dumb enough to even try and predict how something will leg out China, much less do it in an overconfident manner.
Oh it gets so much better. Sure they did spell "Space" as "Apace" on the poster, but at least they don't make it too clear that they're ripping off super man with the colour scheme + outfit. The trailer on the other hand:

The reason Lionsgate made the film in the first place was to establish a relationship with DiCaprio. Imagine willingly throwing $100m + at a film you don't believe in so you can try and get on the good side of a film star with a spotty track record, financially speaking his recent films are black holes for profit, over the last five years.
Given how badly it appears to have blown up in the faces of all involved I don't see this particular relationship going anywhere soon.
Thanks my dude. XD

On the one hand, we're not getting a Robin Hood or King Arthur movie again for another decade.
On the other hand, thats probably a good thing...
Asked minimaxir to use his AI to generate Box Office thread titles. Here's the results:
Not quite as entertaining as the others, but there's some fun ones in there.

2V2 was better, just saying.
This one almost actually fits!
Holy shit there are so many good titles in there!
The best King Arthur movie was in Transformers: The Last Knight.
