BOM: Paramount decided to add about a couple hundred $ to the TOPG2 estimate to put it over ELVIS for No.1 this weekend. Jun 26, 11:37
I just used my A-List to buy a ticket to Elvis (which I was gonna see but then just didn't have time today). {nm} Jun 26, 12:28
BO: MINIONS: THE RISE OF GRU $3.73M International Opening Weekend (Est.) 1 Market (Australia) Jun 26, 08:41
TN: MINIONS 2015 $4,621,659 Jun 26, 08:41
TN: DESM3 $4,491,546 Jun 26, 08:42
Unfortunately there's already a massive diff between Minions $115.7m opening and DESM3's $72.4m two years later. Jun 26, 08:46
It's 1 market Australia. {nm} Jun 26, 08:48
Australia is historically the closest Intl comp to US/CA box office for those unaware {nm} Jun 26, 09:03
Oh, I missed that those three numbers were all Australia. Even so... America didn't line-up for those two earlier movies. {nm} Jun 26, 10:21
Strike that, they totally did... just a much more drastic difference in North America so... um... uh oh? {nm} Jun 26, 10:22
ERC: MARCEL will expand into top markets next weekend, wide July 15. [MSWSO] Jun 26, 08:05
$169k in just 6 theaters, $28,268 per. Jun 26, 08:05
Was about to write below after my BO post that they ought to expand immediately, given the numbers & voila! {nm} Jun 26, 08:09
The July 15 wide release date was already set before this weekend. {nm} Jun 26, 08:28
BOXOFFICE:Elvis was very frontloaded 30.5 Jun 26, 08:20
ITts a tie! {nm} Jun 26, 08:21
Erc: Top Gun 2 tied at 30.5 will have to wait for actuals {nm} Jun 26, 08:23
With ELVIS having OW frontloading and TOPG2 being a WOM hit, easy to see the latter winning the weekend. {nm} Jun 26, 09:41
Not really. If you remove the $3.6m from advance previews, it held up well through the weekend. {nm} Jun 26, 08:30
How will Marcel the Shell be handled on here? As a wide or limited release? {nm} Jun 26, 08:52
if will be treated as wide when the theater count is 650 {nm} Jun 26, 09:00
Wonderful news! A friend saw this and said it is an amazing film. {nm} Jun 26, 11:43

This has to be the biggest 2nd week drop-off for a Pixar movie ever... 65%!?!? {nm} Jun 26, 08:01
At least analysts can claim $120m prediction was correct. It just wasn't for 1st weekend .. it was total BO! {nm} Jun 26, 08:07
Thanks Chapek. Why go to theaters when it'll be on D+ in 45ish days. {nm} Jun 26, 08:12
I guess that's more of an issue for kids films?...MCU doing okay with that 45 days it seems {nm} Jun 26, 15:39
MCU didn't go straight to D+ like the last 3 Pixar. {nm} Jun 27, 08:11
To the scrap pile and beyond! {nm} Jun 26, 08:32
Thanks a lot Pixar. My Summer Pick 7 is DOA now. {nm} Jun 26, 09:04
The Dario Argento retrospective at Lincoln Centre has 4K remastered/restored versions of many older classics from the 70s Jun 26, 00:23
Actually, there are 17 4k rematers and I would not be surprised if there's some sort of Criterion box set Jun 26, 06:46
I think Batgirl would be one they should consider for a theatrical release {nm} Jun 25, 22:15
Hasn't it been confirmed that Batgirl, like Blue Beetle, will be going to theaters instead of being an HBO Max exclusive? {nm} Jun 26, 07:40
They were considering it but have not made an official announcement as of yet {nm} Jun 26, 15:00
As long as they don't expect huge returns -- but something like Family of the Bride could have made decent money in theaters. Jun 26, 06:47
GFR: The Raid Reboot (RAID1) Director Confirms New Film Is a "Reimagining" of Original Film. Jun 25, 17:12

TN: The Black Phone opened Friday to an estimated $10.18m Jun 25, 08:45
DL: Demo breakdowns on Elvis skewed heavily female 55+ A- Cinemascore Jun 25, 08:41
B+ For The Black Phone which is on the very high end for horror films that usually get killed by Cinemascore polling {nm} Jun 25, 08:43
Same as IT Chapter 1 {nm} Jun 25, 08:46
Good stuff.. Definitely a demo you want to come back to theaters. {nm} Jun 25, 17:09
Ironic that MSW is banned from that reddit. {nm} Jun 25, 08:25
Jason Ward allegedly has on set sources vs the others who mostly dont but let his ego get him in trouble {nm} Jun 25, 08:56
Vanity Fair podcast via PL: Taika Waititi confirms Next Goal Wins is planned for 2022 Jun 25, 07:21

EmpireCity saying Lightyear looking at $5.2 million for Friday {nm} Jun 24, 23:07
Never heard of it. Is this a legit source? No link? {nm} Jun 25, 05:12
Nice; I hope to visit Edmonton one day, thanks for the heads up with this. {nm} Jun 25, 12:11
Official estimate is $5.42m {nm} Jun 25, 07:11
Elvis $12.7m incl previews $3.5m so $9.2m Friday. Looks like heading for ~ $32m weekend {nm} Jun 25, 08:17
BOR doesn't say ~$32M Jun 25, 08:22
Some reader may not know that. You should link to your source and put () around your est. {nm} Jun 25, 08:31
For example, ERC puts their weekend estimate with the official Fri estimate Jun 25, 08:32
Um……..Spider-Man????? The Lion King??????? Episode 9??????????? {nm} Jun 25, 09:07

Belloni played with numbers in his Puck newsletter and thinks they've quietly let go 1600 employees this year. Jun 24, 19:08
that includes people who quit {nm} Jun 24, 19:25
The number of people quitting tends to rise when a company is obviously on a firing spree. Jun 25, 11:19
JATINDER: #TheBlackPhone looks like $9M+ opening day. Initial reception strong. Should go for $20-22M weekend. Jun 24, 18:12
Jatinder: From early looks of it, #Elvis looks like $13M+ OD. Should go for $33-35M opening weekend. Jun 24, 18:48

He updated it to $10M+ Jun 24, 19:31
For Context: Why I felt "Minions" had the edge on "Lightyear," My full thoughts on that call earlier this year. Jun 24, 15:01
Where do you see the 40-50 projections for Minions? {nm} Jun 24, 15:04
DESM3 the last film with Minions opened to $75M {nm} Jun 24, 15:15
Exactly. And this one focuses more on the Minions themselves like the 2015 film did. I don't get the low projections. {nm} Jun 24, 15:23
Sequel fatigue. {nm} Jun 24, 15:29
Perhaps. Or Whatever. We'll see in a couple weeks if M beats LY, which was my call. {nm} Jun 24, 15:49
it's also a one-note joke (if that) they've milked to death {nm} Jun 24, 15:58
Kevin Feige announced during THOR4 press conference that Marvel will be at SDCC Jun 24, 14:54
From what I've read, the talent were going to go anyway. Comic Con launching "Top Gun Maverick" was also a big factor. {nm} Jun 24, 15:03
The CINEMACON debut this April probably had an effect on box office, TCRUI being at SDCC in 2019....long since forgotten. {nm} Jun 24, 15:37
Could mean Simu Liu is really there for Shang Chi 2 vs just for Funko Hall H or Barbie {nm} Jun 24, 15:28
Avengers 5 {nm} Jun 24, 15:34
Yeah that works too, they really need to nip the "MCU has no direction anymore" criticism ASAP. {nm} Jun 24, 15:38

Michael Caine has one of the best quotes about paycheck jobs, re: JAWS 4 Jun 24, 13:25
Another one from him. Jun 24, 16:38
This quote is why I named the fund for him all those years ago {nm} Jun 26, 14:48
