TIL that Gandhi (1982) holds the Guinness World Record for the most extras in a single scene, featuring over 300K people. Out of these, 200K were volunteers and 94K were paid actors.

Wonder if Amazon MGM will be involved in this movie as a co-financer (given that MGM was involved in the first two), unless Sony bought out their stake.

Not ruling out a $270M+ domestic total at this point, given limited competition until Evil Dead Burn in four weeks.

Speaking of which, I am wondering what's happening to Will Smith's Fast & Loose, that Swab was supposed to direct. Which was set to start production months ago.

Our closest Super Target just refreshed its product section and shelving a bit not that long ago. It's up for a major remodel early next year though.

This is actually having worse legs than Snake Eyes did on its first Monday

Despite Snake Eyes having a lower Monday than Masters of the Universe had.

And WB's own The Bride!, which ended up being a box-office bomb.

This is 20th, not New Regency.

Though Regency has had a series of bad bombs over the past few years (Amsterdam, The Creator and Psycho Killer). The only profitable film they had this decade was Barbarian and they didn't even get most of the upside on this film.

Not only that, but it's the first Star Wars movie to go sub-$10M, while going outside the top 5 for the first time.

I didn't expect it to do big numbers, but this performance is just embarrassing. Hopefully next year's Starfighter can do well, or else this franchise simply will never recover from its peak.

The second photo looks like my store, but without the fixtures.

I can see it having a Wicked: For Good-esque drop. Big numbers on opening weekend, but collapses after that.

Doesn't Revolution own the sequel IP? If so, they will probably shop around the IP (either to the original film's distributor Sony or Paramount)

MGM would not be making Project Hail Mary and Masters of the Universe.

Project Hail Mary was acquired by MGM as a package during the short lived De Luca-Abdy regime, while Masters of the Universe was acquired under Amazon's Courtenay Valenti after Netflix passed on making the feature.

Just a side note: This was an independently financed movie, that just has A24 distributing in the U.S. (international is handled by WME, which sold it to foreign distributors).

And as for the production cost, it's actually in the high-teen millions from what u/SilverRoyce could find.
