TBATM VFX took inspiration from The Room Aug 31, 11:26
Probably the best shot for a Apple theatrical release Ryan Reynolds and Branagh Mayday screening in Pasadena Aug 31, 09:50
Skydance makes it iffy, this is the first post D&D project for Daley & Goldstein {nm} Aug 31, 09:51
Unless Skydance deal for Paramount goes through and Paramount distributes ala Killers... and D&D. {nm} Aug 31, 13:32
V: 1992 $460,000 on its opening day; DEAMR $290,000 , SLNGS $250,000 Aug 31, 08:50
Jeff was closer on DEAMR (saying $1m 4-day) than DL ($1.5m 4-day) {nm} Aug 31, 09:16
No one is closer since there's no official 4-day estimates. {nm} Aug 31, 09:20
Just based on what the internal mult would be based on Friday estimate. {nm} Aug 31, 09:34
Based on YOUR internal multiplier. The actual multiplier won't be known until Monday/Tuesday. {nm} Aug 31, 09:55
DL: REAGN $2.6M Friday Aug 31, 08:18
Should be good for fourth place with ~$7.5m or so? {nm} Aug 31, 08:24
DL (or distributor?) says $9m 4-day for fourth place...but that amount would probably put it ahead of ITEND {nm} Aug 31, 08:26
The opening isn't bad. My friend said the film even had a TV spot during Kamala Harris CNN interview! {nm} Aug 31, 08:26
It's damn good, actually, especially since there was no way critics were gonna get behind it. Aug 31, 08:34
He's saying $1.5m 4-day for 1992 and $1m three day for City of Dreams, You Gotta Believe and Slingshot Aug 31, 08:19
Correction... that's four-day for all four movies. {nm} Aug 31, 08:19
DL says $1.5m 4-day but no Friday est. {nm} Aug 31, 08:45
I mean, none of those are terrible in the context that they're all playing in under 1k theaters vs. the 3k+ of Afraid. {nm} Aug 31, 08:47
So this weekend... Disney decide not to drag its feet and are the first to report Friday box office Aug 31, 07:13
I guess if you have movies hitting $600m and $650m by Labor Day, you're gonna be quick to boast about it. {nm} Aug 31, 07:17
BOR: Twisters made $1.81m on Friday, slightly more than the $1.7m it made last Friday Aug 31, 07:39
From Sony, THEYL $1.315m Friday (less than Blink Twice in its second Friday) {nm} Aug 31, 07:58
DEAD3 getting back IMAX and TWIS2 getting back 4DX seemed to help. {nm} Aug 31, 08:15
THEYL must have had some significantly late ADR or reshoots Aug 31, 07:01
CinemaScores: Afraid C+, 1992 A-, Reagan A {nm} Aug 31, 03:54
DEAMR A Aug 31, 06:40
Sorry, I forgot to include the link to the CS site, but oddly, DEAMR isn't on there Aug 31, 06:58
In my area Cinemark says they're doing a "secret movie" once a month on Mondays. 5 bucks, nice screen. Aug 30, 20:53
Monday September 9th: what's the secret pick? {nm} Aug 30, 20:54
Looks like the Regal MMM is back on Sept 9 as well with an R-rated movie. Aug 31, 05:24
Screening for a film that sounds like ABBBJ in OC on Tues Aug 30, 18:53
DS: First Look at Better Man [BETRM] Aug 30, 18:16
Maybe? Seems doubtful, there are a lot of other sources out there. You just have to pay for them {nm} Aug 30, 13:10
It's gonna be interesting now to see which films RT projects as under $60M, over $120M or inbetween. {nm} Aug 30, 13:12
Nobody knows anything so they will get some wrong {nm} Aug 30, 13:21
HSX doin' its job! {nm} Aug 30, 15:42
Where are these box office predictions you're mentioning? {nm} Aug 30, 16:50
Oh, I found it... I hadn't seen it in the Popcornmeter announcement either. Seems ilke BS to me. {nm} Aug 30, 16:53
1IOTA: MKMB2 screening Wed in Burbank Aug 30, 12:23
Sep 11 {nm} Aug 30, 12:24
Missed opportunity for a "Get over here!" {nm} Aug 30, 12:54
New trailer for Memoirs of a Snail [MOASN] Aug 30, 12:00
WB must be suppressing the BEET2 RT because MARIA is 70% with 23 reviews Aug 30, 10:28
Apparently Rottentomatoes holding back reveals for all expected blockbusters now, was update buried in that Popcornmeter news Aug 30, 11:47
so RT expects BEET2 to gross more than $120M it's already more than 20 reviews {nm} Aug 30, 11:53
Oh, it's total not opening. {nm} Aug 30, 12:01
It wasnt buried. They even have charts! 40 reviews for BEET2 and 20 reviews for MARIS to hit their threshold. {nm} Aug 30, 11:54
Buried in the sense no one noticed it until now {nm} Aug 30, 12:02
Thats not on them! {nm} Aug 30, 12:07
It kinda is. Wasn't implied by the headline, URL or any of the trade pieces reporting on it. {nm} Aug 30, 12:08
They emailed and spoke to PR teams and distributors about the change {nm} Aug 30, 12:10
The press release was about the New Popcornmeter, rather than changes to Tomatometer. {nm} Aug 30, 12:11
agree to disagree about them burying this {nm} Aug 30, 12:13
Would've expected some social media clarification at least when Beetlejuice reviews started coming out. Aug 30, 12:15
+1 this {nm} Aug 30, 12:50
You think MARIA is making $60-120M on Netflix? ;) {nm} Aug 30, 12:02
Maybe there are already more than 40 reviews sent to RT, but they're waiting and hoping for 80%+ {nm} Aug 30, 12:15
if you send a review to RT because they missed it, it usually takes 2 or 3 days for them to post it {nm} Aug 30, 12:19
I would argue that the collapse of film journalism and the rise of user reviews are the culprits Aug 30, 13:03
There are much easier ways that every distributor does to game the rt score. This doesn't guarantee a high score {nm} Aug 30, 12:57
Bigger movies tend to get a lot more reviews and the tomatometer tends to change much more dramatically Aug 30, 12:06
It does hurt small movies. Its hard to get critics to watch smaller movies fests so 10 is a high threshold for sure {nm} Aug 30, 12:08
You mostly need RT for around the release time. RT isnt really consumer facing until then {nm} Aug 30, 13:04
I've relied a lot more on Letterboxd in 2024 for initial word of mouth {nm} Aug 30, 13:05
I'm back on Letterboxd after five years for that very reason. Just a lot more reliable than RT. {nm} Aug 31, 03:57
The reason for it is in the announcement (reviews change over time) Aug 30, 12:22
DL: REAGN $525K Aug 30, 07:57
Wonder if we'll get any Thursday previews... only two movies are in over 2,500 theaters... Aug 30, 07:42
Ask and ye shall receive: Afraid $400k in Thursday previews. Ouch! {nm} Aug 30, 07:49
JO: Plot summary for JW4 5 years after Dominion not a prequel Aug 30, 07:35
A commenter follows up more plot details Aug 30, 07:37
here's an Empire article just to second what commenter said... Aug 30, 10:35
The title is "Rebirth" ;) {nm} Aug 30, 07:40
MTTSH: The primary Dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Rebirth are Mosasaurus Titanisaurus and Quetzacoatlus Aug 30, 10:21
