Gladiator 2 made $22 million on Friday according to Paramount, who thinks it can make $60m from that? ookya. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 08:01

i do - saw it yesterday (thought a sequel would be forced, but it wasn't - well shot/acted - 9/10), and it was all older demographic {nm} journey Nov 23, 08:21

Has nothing to do with the quality. The math just doesn't add up. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 08:52

16+22+15.5 is $54m weekend + $6.5m previews = $60m. Mayn't happen but is quite possible. Tallwonder Nov 23, 10:05

BOR: GLAD2 $22.0M Antibody Nov 23, 08:00

WICKD $46.74M Antibody Nov 23, 08:00

CinemaScores: Wicked/Bonhoeffer A, Gladiator II B (toldja!) TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 06:31

Account suspended. X suspends accounts which violate the X Rules Antibody Nov 23, 07:00

It's the beginning of the end for X. Can't even imagine what CinemaScore would have posted in violation. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 07:26

THR: Feinberg declares that every major contender has now screened. Anora, Brutalist, Conclave, Emilia Perez, Sept 5, Wicked his top BP notfabio Nov 22, 18:08

I mentioned this to WW this week, but if WICKED doesn't get significant BP noms, telecast ratings will be disasterous {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 18:10

cant disagree but its also filed with stuff that the libertarians/alt right hates (witchcraft, institutional oppression & Moviesnob Nov 22, 19:10

but from a populist standpoint, they should auto nominate DUNE 2, DEADPOOL 2 and INSIDE OUT 2 {nm} Moviesnob Nov 22, 19:17

DEADPOOL 3, sorry {nm} Moviesnob Nov 22, 19:18

DUNE2 yes, DEAD2 and INOU2 for Outstanding Achievement in Popular Film {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 19:19

Nevermind, I forgot it got negged. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 19:21

Oh, I was thinking of the Oscar fan favorite award, won by Army of the Dead. {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 19:23

for best picture {nm} Moviesnob Nov 22, 19:24

DUNE2 deserves it for artistis reasons, not just populist {nm} Antibody Nov 22, 19:26

Oscars are not and have never been a measure of quality {nm} Moviesnob Nov 22, 19:29

Bite your tongue! The King's Speech is cinema, dammit! {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 23, 05:56

SNOW WHITE TRAILER LEAKED Antibody Nov 22, 16:06

Definitely feels to me they made a late in the game change to make it more classical Snow White story vs the rumors otherwise. {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 18:02

ATUDY is voicing Clayface in Creature Commandoes, which he's likely playing him in SUPRM and a solo movie written by Mike Flanagan Antibody Nov 22, 15:48

THR: there was hope that TBAT2 could shoot sometime next year... but nothing is close to being planned. Antibody Nov 22, 15:41

THR is going with the same projections, their article is still time stamped 7am in the morning at the moment but I'm sure is updated since. notfabio Nov 22, 14:01

DL's way too early projections: Wicked $48.5m Friday, projecting $120m weekend; Gladiator $23.5m Friday, projecting $61m TheWeekendWarrior Nov 22, 13:47

BNHFR $2.4M Friday / $4.8M weekend (same link as above) {nm} Oleg_Max Nov 22, 14:19

Speaking of CCXP: Ballerina and The Gorge will have talent. They don't seen to have a list of panels yet. (12-5 to 12-8) notfabio Nov 22, 12:46

Alan Ritchson is listed as CINEMA so not sure what film if he is there for that, REACHER S3 would seem to be the obvious reason he is there. {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 12:47

Director Tim Miller is there for "something" Giancarlo Esposito is "probably" there for Captain America {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 12:50

But Anthony Mackie isn't on the attendee list. {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 12:51

There is definitely something Sonic The Hedgehog 3 there. Neal Moritz is coming maybe for Sonic 3 maybe for more than that. {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 12:54

Grace Randolph says press gets the SUPERMAN trailer on Monday December 9th (so no CCXP if true) notfabio Nov 22, 12:35

Claremont Courier: Pretty candid interview with Greg Laemmle on their struggling theatre in Claremont, CA notfabio Nov 22, 11:47

it's frustrating that it's easier to protest and complain than it is to actually go to a theater and support it financially. Moviesnob Nov 22, 13:20

and of all the things that people want for their theater its not great programming or respectful audience behavior or good customer service Moviesnob Nov 22, 13:22

That & presumably a good share of Laemmle locations' business was so tied to ultra-frequent moviegoers, who are now A-List/Unlimited people. dsbman Nov 22, 14:43

its this and more (notfabio observations below too) but if people are gonna complain to the theater owner about not staying in biz then you Moviesnob Nov 22, 16:10

tangentially, it seemed the Oscar hopeful films really rebounded well last year but so far, that has not been the case for the 2024 batch Moviesnob Nov 22, 16:17

I have been to this theatre I about 3 times. It's a cute theatre in a cute college town but was outdated when it opened brand new. notfabio Nov 22, 15:11

V: WICKD $19.2M $2.5 million from Monday showings, $5.7 million from Wednesday advances and $11 million on Thursday. Antibody Nov 22, 07:44

GLAD2 $6.5 million in Thursday previews Antibody Nov 22, 07:44

Now that’s a tough IM to figure out {nm} MattW Nov 22, 08:13

Seriously. I'm feeling short on Wicked is the safer bet... unless it brings in a ton of repeat business. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Nov 22, 08:27

You haven't seen the dressing up as characters & singing along fan hordes? They won't stop at one visit. Tallwonder Nov 22, 09:11

Yes. There were about a dozen at my theater treating like a Rocky Horror experience. I wasn't expecting that! {nm} CButera Nov 22, 09:41

I am just worried MOANA 2 is going to slaughter it everything is going to get pushed down to give MOANA prime screens. {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 10:04

At least WICKED was already squeezed by GLADIATOR 2 so it already didn't get IMAX screens (for the most part) {nm} notfabio Nov 22, 10:06

Looking at some other movies with sizeable pre-previews I'm thinking either 9x the Thurs only gross, or ~6.5x the total pre-Fri gross MattW Nov 22, 10:06

Looks like 6.5 x 19.2 will be closer {nm} MattW Nov 22, 18:10

DL: Wicked $8M tonight, $20M total; GLAD2 $6.5M-$7M Antibody Nov 21, 21:48

Based on current OW prices, my gut check is short on GLAD2 while Wicked seems like a push at best. TheWeekendWarrior Nov 22, 05:56

Agree on Gladiator. Wicked will do really well. Ton of buzz {nm} JayPrimetown Nov 22, 10:37
