That above post is all purely hypothetical fan fiction. Back when everyone was making predictions I was well sub 500M but agreed that 500M was not completely impossible.
Edit: film has 8.8/10 and 32 fresh 0 rotten so far

Robert's Rebellion would do work.
Characters are largely known and could be somewhat condensed to a 2.5 hour tale.
Do it, AT&T!!
I forgot what my avatar was but...clearly we know how I feel about it lol
Lol you just wanna see Robert cave in Rhaegars chest.
Well count me in
All I remember of that name is the preview that played in front of the first Pokemon VHS I owned
Leave the spider to me
is that the guy who admitted that he gave get out a rotten review just break its perfect streak XD
Venom will be very near 260M in China after this weekend. The big tests will be how well it holds against the bigger movies coming out but maybe Spider-verse can give it a small boost/stem its decline :)
After we get tomorrow's numbers I'll do another recap.

So um, I just realized that Aquaman and Bumblebee are both coming out on December 21st.
...why? Why didn't one studio budge? Was this a game of chicken gone wrong? Don't they realize each film is gonna cannibalize into the other?

Few months ago, we had Spiderman, Mary Poppins, Aquaman, and Bumblebee all out on the same day.
On the positive side, typically the Christmas break can support multiple films with ease. But something is still going to get whacked
My guess? Aquaman and Bumblebee kill each other and Spiderverse takes #1 again the week of the 21st. It then becomes a contest to see whether the DCEU or Bayformers left a worst taste in audience's mouths...
Talking about moving corpses. Looks like something that escaped the YA novel purge a few years back,
Actually, it was Alita, Aquaman and Bumblebee on the same day, with Mary Poppins during the same week (but not opening on Friday).
Domestically, it's down $40m on the 12 day total. That gap will most likely widen over the next couple of weeks to a $50m-$70m drop.

Both movies had the same slot (opened 1 week before thanksgiving)
Day 3, 7, 10, 12,
FB1
74.4M
110.9M
156.0M
161.2M
FB2
62.2M, -17%
87.2M, -21%
116.6M, -25%
120.4M, -25%
Total: 234M
With all of the upcoming releases I could see it doing 160-170M?
So down 27–32% from the original
Did anyone expect that series to be a box office juggernaut?
Obviously this drop from the first isn't a good one but it's not like the first was a billion dollar grossing movie.
WB gave the movie a $200m budget; they expected it be a box office juggernaut.
They were probably hoping that tying the sequel closer to the books would give it a bump over the first, but it seems to have done the exact opposite.

WB absolutely did
WB's big tentpole franchises are:
Harry Potter
DC movies
Ah...didn't know the budget was that high .And I could've sworn the first made, like, $750m or something.
Guess this result is worse than I thought.
Regal says Spider-Man tickets are on sale now, but none of the theaters near me are listing times yet. I did notice the big theater will be showing Schindler's List. Thought it was only showing in dolby cinemas so that's a surprise.
Having read Mowgli reviews I can see why WB dumped it. Seems like there's one scene in particular that would have scarred kids and made parents demand refunds.

It has no chance at catching A Star is Born now. Also not a good chance of catching CRA.
Yeah I figured ASIB was too far ahead and assumed FB would finish close to CRA and gave CRA the edge. There was a hot second there where I thought about putting The Meg in too but FB can surely gross 23M more right?

I am thinking 160s. Holds this week so far could have been worse. Wednesday was 71% of FB1's corresponding day, which is better than this past weekend's ~65%
We'll see what the weekend looks like. If FB2 kept making 71% of FB1 for the rest of its run, it would finish with 172M. However, December is really crowded. I doubt that FB2 will have the momentum to hold enough screens beyond the next 2 weeks.

Nice. How much do you think Spiderverse will do overall? I'd be happy with Lego Batman numbers.
Still thinking about just how brutally Alita would have been murdered if they stuck with Christmas

They posted 30-40M last week.
I would be in for this
Also holy shit I would have been so hyped for an Artemis Fowl film over a decade ago. Why did it take them so long to make it? I can't imagine the series has much relevance anymore.
And Mortal Engines? Who?

I have the Cinemark one and I'll be using it a lot too.
More or less what I expected, except Aquaman's budget is quite a bit lower than I thought.

If Aquaman does 65M opening weekend, it will make more than 80M in those first 5 days. Probably more like 85M. I could see it making more than 65M OW with good reviews as well.
Nah, WB is not profiting $350M on a film that grossed $700M, especially when most of that gross is outside of the US. For them to profit like that, that would mean every dollar this movie makes goes to the studio, and that's not the case at all. The film has a $200M budget, and when you factor in marketing, and the actual cut WB gets, they might make a small profit by the end of it.
