Angel Studios website claims 5.3 million tickets donated which at average ticket prices is OVER 50 MILLION dollars. {nm} notfabio Jul 15, 13:34

Here's the link to Angel Studios "live-ish" counter 5,387,010 Tickets notfabio Jul 15, 13:37

That's tickets available not redeemed yet, potentially much bigger BO. Or un used to fund free VOD views or future projects.. {nm} Baron_Darcon2023 Jul 15, 14:10

No, it's "theatrical ticket and Pay-it-Forward sales." That includes old showtimes which are no longer available to be redeemed. Antibody Jul 15, 14:15

Variety: Video from the setup of tonight's World Premiere of HAUNTED MANSION at Disneyland. Still has a red carpet setup. notfabio Jul 15, 13:19

Would guess they'll have influencers, etc walk it in lieu of the cast. Disney was pitching this as a "fan event" to press. {nm} notfabio Jul 15, 13:20

BI: The first Oscar mudslinging has begun, Oppenheimer helped kill a petition to give Japan a chance to surrender before dropping the bomb notfabio Jul 15, 13:03

Nolan is not making an American jingoistic movie. Oppenheimer is suppose to be flawed. {nm} Antibody Jul 15, 13:17

canceled! (I don’t think this was some big secret. It’s in FM&LB and Day One etc from my memory) {nm} my mate paul Jul 15, 13:53

(more interested to see how much credence it gives the “we’ll take a million casualties invading the mainland” line the generals fed Truman) {nm} my mate paul Jul 15, 13:57

I've read a lot about WW2 over my life and the massive casualties estimates seem realistic. DTravel Jul 15, 20:47

Saw it earlier... Downey is going to win the Oscar. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 15, 16:38

Should have Won for 'CHAPLIN' (1992). {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jul 15, 18:46

Probably. This shoiuld make up for it. TheWeekendWarrior Jul 15, 19:51

After observing this MI7 Box Office Failure, Question: Why were people on here so happier for Indy to fail than MI7? goodvibe61 Jul 15, 12:54

MISS7 is a much better film than INDI5 and doing substantially better overseas so there is still hope for it INDI5's fate is sealed {nm} notfabio Jul 15, 13:09

I think HFORD is still pretty beloved with age 35+ audiences, he just isn't as big a draw anymore for younger audiences. {nm} notfabio Jul 15, 13:15

Indy deconstructed, being replaced by Fleabag, Fleabag is insufferable, annoying, time travel in not Indy, leaks, bad story. {nm} Baron_Darcon2023 Jul 16, 04:00

See what I mean? {nm} goodvibe61 Jul 15, 13:59

Reddit thread on what the original cut of 65 was. notfabio Jul 15, 12:03

David Leitch has dropped out of SDCC so no Fall Guy surprise. Louis Letterier says F them guild kids and replaces notfabio Jul 15, 11:25

Leitch is a SAG member from his stunt days as far as reasoning {nm} notfabio Jul 15, 11:29

Frosty has hinted surprises. Maybe a Ballerina teaser? {nm} notfabio Jul 15, 11:37

LP: MS Marvel will air its entire first season in two nights on ABC next month. The first D+ original to air a full season on ABC notfabio Jul 15, 11:12

Strike filler? Worried about The Marvels? {nm} notfabio Jul 15, 11:13

More the latter than the former. {nm} RupertPupkin Jul 15, 11:23

Ms Marvel is D+ least watched Marvel show. {nm} Baron_Darcon2023 Jul 15, 11:27

it's OTA residuals time, baby {nm} my mate paul Jul 15, 15:04

Sean Chandler: My source said this alleged "Batgirl" plot is very accurate Peterlee Jul 15, 10:42

DL: Relentlessly spun to keep Paramount ad biz MISS7 love fest over Indi5 notfabio Jul 15, 07:48

It is of course an easy point to argue that MISS7 is going to wind up in a better place than Indy (also they upped their Barbie to 95+) {nm} notfabio Jul 15, 07:51

MISS7 made the mistake of putting Part One in the title. {nm} Antibody Jul 15, 08:00

I disagree... it's better than what Spider-Verse did, just leaving everyone hanging. TheWeekendWarrior Jul 15, 08:02

The box office results differ. ASPD2 outperform while MISS& underperform expectations. {nm} Antibody Jul 15, 08:05

Well, they. both got A CinemaScores so audiences and critics are clearly satisfied and don't care so much about title. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 15, 08:06

That's only people who showed up. People who didn't show up for MISS7 are not polled. {nm} Antibody Jul 15, 08:15

Was a Spiderverse 2 already planned when 1 was released? I didn't have a problem with how 1 ended. {nm} DTravel Jul 15, 11:27

and being 2.5 hrs long {nm} my mate paul Jul 15, 09:27

it didnt help, but i think everyone just expected a post TOP GUN 2 Cruise effect when in reality (as pointed on these boards) its performing Moviesnob Jul 15, 12:51

Both DL and THR are avoiding the Friday daily and giving the same weekend projection, so not to discuss the fudging?! {nm} Antibody Jul 15, 08:11

V also only reports the weekend projection. It's a Penske conspiracy. {nm} Antibody Jul 15, 08:24

Tyler Perrys Six Triple Eight is test screening in Glendale on the 17th notfabio Jul 15, 06:32

Jatinder: Looks like $14.5M FRI for MISS7 Antibody Jul 14, 22:06

Quite a bit lower than DL... maybe sub-$50m for weekend? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 14, 23:31

"Friday will include early access show numbers, so 17m" {nm} MattW Jul 15, 06:24

What? I thought early access shows were rolled into Weds already. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 15, 06:25

Nope they announced Wednesday would only include Tuesday. Sun and Monday reported for weekend fudging {nm} notfabio Jul 15, 06:28

Tues previews were, Sun+Mon weren't, which together were in the 2-2.5m range {nm} MattW Jul 15, 06:28

Wow, how do studios get away with this crap? {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jul 15, 08:03

I hope I'm wrong and it's able to recover... already getting killed on derivatives I forgot to switch positions on TheWeekendWarrior Jul 15, 08:04

Empire City goes nuts, says he wouldn't be shocked if BARBIE opens to 170M+ mexgoer33 Jul 14, 21:59

Fingers crossed, that will save the summer {nm} Moviesnob Jul 14, 22:29

Come on, who is going to see this? {nm} skunkrunner Jul 14, 22:47

Apparently, everyone on earth, except you, LOL {nm} Sleprock Jul 15, 03:59

I'll pass. {nm} Flash Jul 15, 09:13

I personally know of at least seven people who are going, and none of them go to a ton of movies normally {nm}. {nm} bchicken Jul 15, 17:35

Employing just the right hedge words I see {nm} MattW Jul 15, 05:41

Isnt twitters entire design to post ludacrous extreme content without any basis or fact behind it? {nm} sneak Jul 16, 03:41

Sean Gunn burning whatever bridges James Gunn had at Disney complaining Bob Iger makes 400x lowest paid Disney employee notfabio Jul 14, 17:03

Oddly silent talking about The Zas, who earns far more than Iger. {nm} notfabio Jul 14, 17:04

is there any money to get? Seems like box office is hurting and streaming loses money, is this a case of projects existing that never would {nm} Fitch3k Jul 14, 17:32

DIS made $28B in annual profits Antibody Jul 14, 17:41

Gross. Net was like 3 {nm} MattW Jul 14, 19:11

Disney Net Income For The Twelve (12) Months Ending March 31, 2023 was $4.121BILLION. 2022 Was $3.145 BILLION. 2021 Was $1.995 BILLION. RotoHockeyYTD2014 Jul 14, 20:33

and they spent 65 billion to get that 3b back. you're not going to have investors if you don't have returns {nm} Fitch3k Jul 15, 09:04

DL Too Early Update: They have slightly raised MISS7 to 76 million 5 day, 16M Friday, 52.2 3 day. notfabio Jul 14, 16:24

China only 27-30 million, which is still the best US release opening of 2023 {nm} notfabio Jul 14, 16:25

Sound of Freedom 6M Friday, 20-22.5 3 day....81 million by Sunday. Rival Studios expect substantially more than a 100+ million total run {nm} notfabio Jul 14, 16:26

To put that into context, probably means Sound of Freedom will outgross The Flash and Scream VI. Too early to say if more than Elemental. {nm} notfabio Jul 14, 16:30

imagining them trying to platform it for an international release my mate paul Jul 14, 16:57

Director already planning South America releases... discussed it on Timcast Irl.. itll go gangbusters.. {nm} Baron_Darcon2023 Jul 14, 18:20

I keep hearing stories of sell outs but empty theatres sneak Jul 14, 17:44

16m Friday is pretty good, more than a 90% increase over Thursday. Nothing amazing but should do fine. {nm} MattW Jul 14, 17:14

Oof, that's gonna just about wipe out my Indie 5 gains {nm} OdysseusG Jul 14, 21:01

Borys Kit: The Legendary SDCC panel was for DUNE Part 2 with cast, it has now been cancelled. notfabio Jul 14, 15:04

So basically the only significant movie panels left are TMNT, Directors On Directing and that Indian Sci-Fi movie. {nm} notfabio Jul 14, 15:06

DL: Panel also was going to include Godzilla x Kong {nm} notfabio Jul 14, 17:01
