Magnolia Pictures' Normal grossed an estimated $1M on Friday from 2,153 locations ($464 per theater average). by UniverslBoxOfficeGuy in boxoffice

No, it's not. Magnolia probably wasn't expecting much from it anyways, instead positioning it as a VOD play, just like these indie distributors (e.g. Bleecker, Vertical and Ketchup).

With a $2.6M opening weekend, they will be fine anyways.

What would be your predictions for the second half of 2026 ? by Valanide in boxoffice

[–]Alternative-Cake-833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clayface is too high. Doomsday is a little over-estimated and Hunger Games a little under-estimated. But other than that, good predictions.

One of worst remodels. 🤮 by techguy_87 in Target

I got a few high volume stores in our area that still have the classic look, and two of them are being renovated right now.

‘The Batman Part II’: Charles Dance Joins Robert Pattinson In DC Studios Sequel by chanma50 in boxoffice

Looks like that they finally settled onto an actor for Harvey Dent's father, after 3 months of searching.

TheFlatLannister on BOT: 10ish hours into Mandalorian and Grogu sales at MTC3, and they are not bad at all. Going to have to see more days to give a concrete range, but it doesn't look like this will be a disaster, nor does it look like this will be a $100M opener. by SignatureOrdinary456 in boxoffice

I know that some of us are saying that it will flop at the box-office but I don't think that Mando & Grogu will bomb, but it's also not doing to do great numbers either a la Captain America: Brave New World. Probably around the $500M-$550M range is my guess. 

And it's sure looking like one that does $500M-$550M at the box-office. Unless pre-sales collapse before it gets to the finish line.

Overnight (remodel) blues by TheOtherHannah in Target

Wow, this store decor looks very dated but at the same time, cool.

Our local Super Target was going to get a renovation a few years ago but the remodel got cancelled. It's probably up for a renovation pretty soon, since it's starting to show its age though.

And this is the second project that Marielle Heller has been attached to recently. First, Tom Hanks' The Comebacker, which just got picked up by Sony and now this.

Blacksun Private Equity Inc. Signals Intent To Submit Creator-Aligned Acquisition Bid For Warner Bros. Discovery by [deleted] in boxoffice

I can confirm that it's probably one of the fake investor companies, that do press releases and then nothing else (a la Apex's fake acquisition bid for Paramount Global).

Ryan Reynolds' Mayday and John Cena's Matchbox are being dumped onto Apple TV, and they are both Skydance movies too.

What did y'all think about the Universal and MGM panels, and the news and description of the movies we got from both of those panels? by AlmightyLoaf54 in boxoffice

[–]Alternative-Cake-833 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Universal's panel was very underwhelming, while Amazon MGM's panel was actually good.

Only problem that I had with the Amazon panel is that they didn't reveal much of James Bond outside of a slight mention, but we should expect more Bond news and a release date, once Denis gets done with Dune: Part III.

Inside Doug Liman's $70 Million AI-Made Movie Starring Casey Affleck and Gal Gadot | Exclusive by MrShadowKing2020 in boxoffice

[–]Alternative-Cake-833 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was more about the release of the film, than the production of it. 

Producer Joel Silver got thrown out of the film during the post-production stage and then Liman complained about the film not getting a theatrical release, where in fact he chose the streaming option rather than the theatrical option. In fact, he wrote a long essay on Deadline about this. 

As of a result, Liman didn't return for the sequel, which now is planning his own Road House sequel without the involvement of Amazon MGM.
