Which movie should move out of the Xmas Bloodbath? I’d go with Aquaman, it should move up two weeks. {nm} austpow Aug 24, 09:54

I think so also. Would give them a head start {nm} VictorY Aug 24, 09:58

If Warner was to move AQUMN, they'd make the announcement during SDCC. {nm} ~JPV~ Aug 24, 10:07

It might do better, but I suspect it would actually harm Aquaman overall. MattW Aug 24, 10:08

i don't know if moving will help them but based on the trailers, my bomb picks would be: Mortal Engines; Welcome to Marwen; and Alita BA {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 24, 10:19

consider the possibilty of no bloodbath. there are 8 films set to go wide from dec 14-21. there were 8 films that went wide over the islndr Aug 24, 10:32

(imo) there's Mary Poppins and then there's everything else. none of the others really stand out as a strong contender for the Xmas crown {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 24, 10:46

I looked at the same release frame for a non-star wars Dec ('13 or '14, don't remember) and came up with a similar conclusion MattW Aug 24, 11:45

I don't think moving the film with the biggest brand recognition to one of the worst weekends of the year makes a lot of sense. {nm} RogerMore Aug 24, 11:28

TFRM6 *could* move back a couple of weeks to MLK weekend, but it would be missing out on "younger audiences on Christmas holiday" money RogerMore Aug 24, 11:47

I think ALITA should move of anything but have a feeling Disney wants Fox to push it out before they takeover. {nm} notfabio Aug 24, 14:03

I feel like the main reason to move Aquaman is BECAUSE it has more going for it, some of the other movies would seem like damaged goods austpow Aug 24, 22:38

The four that should definitely stay put are Poppins, Holmes, SpiderMan and Marwen, the rest have too much overlap with each other {nm} austpow Aug 24, 22:41

A movie that's the first choice for many over the holidays isn't going to make more money by moving away from the holidays RogerMore Aug 25, 07:06

and even the lesser ones can probably do better just because of the holiday multiplier than they would otherwise on a different date {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 25, 08:33
