As of end of last year there were 1,693 commercial IMAX locations globally (almost all of those single screens) Maybe 2000 by 2026ish? {nm} notfabio Oct 28, 16:34

20th Century: Jeremy Allen White is Bruce Springsteen in #DeliverMeFromNowhere. [DMFNW] Antibody Oct 28, 12:30

wondering what the consensus is from the experts here...could test screenings have saved JOKE2? Or was massive underperformance inevitable? pro-satoshi Oct 28, 11:11

Doubt it. Word would have leaked that it was bad. And what if everyone hated it? Could WB have pushed back against Phillips? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 28, 12:08

Re-writes can't fix the core problem. Joker 2 wasn't giving fans what they wanted. They didn't want a courtroom musical, they wanted Batman. RamsFan2004 Oct 28, 12:26

That OC horror movie test screening tomorrow is having to bribe audience members now. notfabio Oct 28, 10:24

Dodger game might have an impact...or people saw the creature design at Universal Horror Nights and noped out pro-satoshi Oct 28, 10:27

They aren't disclosing what film it is so that definitely makes it harder. Netflix has a hard time recruiting for theirs sometimes. {nm} notfabio Oct 28, 10:55

Deadpool & Wolverine (B), Project Ithaca (C-) {nm} gsquared Oct 28, 10:13

CONCLAVE (B+) [Spoilers!] I will say they cut maybe too great of a trailer for it. notfabio Oct 28, 10:22

SMILE 2 - C. I would have started with the end and made that movie rather than completely rehash the first film {nm} Moviesnob Oct 28, 10:33

FORBES: ANTM3 cost 330.1 million to make after over 50 million in tax incentives per UK filings notfabio Oct 28, 07:20

Of course some of that is COVID budget bloat {nm} notfabio Oct 28, 07:21

Numbers has $200M production budget,, way over budget! Phase 4 was a disaster. Wisdom_of_the_Ages Oct 28, 09:52

I guess the GROM2 reviews and OMG reactions have been unleashed TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 15:47

Truly a shame that these are relegated to the Trix ether. Haven't seen any of them distributed that way. {nm} goodvibe61 Oct 28, 08:47

Nice to have Aardman back at least. They've kinda been treading water for a decade or so {nm} nfred659 Oct 28, 18:52

BOR: Terrifier 3 (TERF3) grossed $4.77M this WE, est. gross total 44.53. ARB with 7 days to go! WorkinMan Oct 27, 12:31

What is the schedule regarding Gladiator reviews? Releasing Nov 22nd; it's screening for people now. What's the embargo schedule? goodvibe61 Oct 27, 11:39

**ALL REVIEWS are embargoed until MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11TH AT 6:00AM PT / 9:00AM ET** {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 11:54

Two Mondays before the movie opens? Quite the sign. Jay_Bling Oct 27, 12:22

I haven't been invited to either of those movies yet. I imagine Red One screens opening week. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 12:25

I’m guessing that for Red One as well. GLAD2 embargo is meant to accommodate international release first, though. {nm} Jay_Bling Oct 27, 12:28

It's a mix. Most NY critics will be seeing it on Nov 7 but there have been screenings in a bunch of places already, mainly for interviews. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 11:55

Thank you! I'm impressed it's a full week and a half prior to US release. Looking forward to the reviews. {nm} goodvibe61 Oct 27, 21:00

Sony projecting $51m est for VENM3 {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 08:23

Well, looks like Empire City got this call right. He's been aggressively pushing it as a win still but that's only because INTL is strong notfabio Oct 27, 09:17

Plus, DEAD3 WW gross could end up higher than all other 2024 comic book movie WW grosses combined. {nm} Jay_Bling Oct 27, 09:24

We'll see on the actual if the 5 holds up {nm} budice Oct 27, 09:28

Don't jinx it! I'm doing poorly enough in this week's GD game TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 09:31

TN: Your Monster $515k in 651 theaters, average $791 per site TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 08:02

Conclave $6.5m est for weekend, neck and neck for third place with Wild Robot {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 08:10

BOR: Anora made $867k in 34 theaters, average $25,504 -- should allow it to get into the top 10 with that amount. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 07:06

Weird, I thought I posted the link (inside) TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 07:09

Since I know Abody loves decimals: TN has Anora at $867,142 TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 07:39

TN: JOKE2 BRA $600k Wk 4 / $57.833m total...A stock that was $286 2 months ago. Yikes tomcat90 Oct 27, 07:49

JOKE2 is out of the top 10 right? {nm} RamsFan2004 Oct 27, 10:27

Yup... in four weeks... theaters coudln't get rid of it fast enough. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 10:29

Joker 2 is one for the books... {nm} RamsFan2004 Oct 27, 11:51

It was a joke of a movie. DTravel Oct 27, 13:41

And coincidentally, I hope to write a book, and Joker 2 will be included in it :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 15:17

Yikes, is this going under $50 million? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 26, 20:23

It’s going to be close! I hope it makes it. The B- CinemaScore/80% RT Popcorn isn’t indicative of good legs. WorkinMan Oct 26, 23:40

Also wonder how much the World Series affected Box Office in NY/LA {nm} WorkinMan Oct 26, 23:42

I mentioned that earlier... Game 6 is on Friday but the way things are going, they might not need it. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 27, 06:44
