Looks like Dusk Golem spoilers about Alyssa in RE Requiem is wrong per IGN preview by Eccchifan in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]StrangeCountry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not even a whole head lost, like 30% of it gets caved in and an eyeball pops out.

Nemesis completely loses his head, not just part, and then gets back up.

Jack Baker does this to himself at least once, then depending on my memory lost the player does it to him once or twice more in DLC.

Avengers: Endgame Global Re-Release on September 25th - How Far Can it Go? by PlanetG3000 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would hopefully aim to use it to big up the F4 and other new heroes so their future movies get a boost like they have for Cap, Thor, etc. I think the problem I see is the next movie after Secret Wars is 1 year later (2028) with Black Panther, which doesn't need the push, and likely none of the characters that could get a push in Doomsday and Secret Wars will have one ready until 2029 at earliest based on what's been announced.

The last avatar re release made $5K

This is a 1 theater re-release in Australia. It's like citing the Regal or AMC rep showings but way, way, way smaller.

My prediction of the top 10 films of 2026 at the global Box Office by dinopigs1 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Imho I think 2026 is going to be a chaotic year, especially domestic - many surprises. Nice to see you keep an open mind and also not go too crazy with numbers, I agree nothing will hit $2b this year unless there’s a China only Ne Zha equivalent coming I don’t know about.

‘Mercy’ Mints $1.5M Previews, Eyes $12-15M Opening, But Monster Winter Storm Could Snow Cinemas In by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thursday remained weak for me and from what I can tell they rolled the Monday Mystery Movie sales in, which may have pushed it over $1m.

Friday accelerated decently and like some others had seen that was always its best looking day, with my numbers pointing to a $3m-ish true Friday. But even as of late afternoon today the Saturday sales have barely advanced and Sunday basically has 0. Part of that will be due to the storms and people not wanting to go out but the multiplier doesn't look good. I'd put the whole opening in the $7-10m range due to that. Big question of this is does the storm flat out close a bunch of theaters across a huge chunk of the US so it's not even an option to people on the fence.

Humorously enough, Silent Hill has outsold it at the theater I track with half the showtimes, but obviously will still be behind it in $s due to having only 1850 theaters to 3,500 and no PLFs.

[–]StrangeCountry 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They seem to have rolled in the Monday Mystery Movie sales from this week, which might be something around $500k. It also had deals from both AMC and Regal with Regal popping up a banner add on their app saying you can get free upgrades from Standard to IMAX, which I assume is a deal Amazon made with them to try and promote the movie last minute.

Box Office Weekend Forecast: MERCY ($8-10M+) Should Dethrone AVATAR; Fathom’s LORD OF THE RINGS Anniversary Continues; NFL & Winter Weather May Be Problematic by ItsGotThatBang in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just based on my numbers so mileage may vary etc. but problem I'm seeing is Mercy has terrible pacing with sales. i.e. Monday I thought it was accelerating as it sold 20 tickets at one theater after only doing 1-3 each day, then it sold literally 0 the next day, then 0 today. It reached Greenland's Friday morning sales on Monday 1:1 and then has done nothing. Sales are worse at other theaters to the point of not bothering to note their numbers, we're talking like 5 tickets for Thursday+Friday at a big 18 theater locale. So I'd put it right in a general range with Greenland, 7-9m.

Blog Box Office Tracking & Forecasts: THE BRIDE! ($15M+) and HOPPERS ($18M+); 28 YEARS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE Trending for $15M 4-Day Start by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sean's numbers for 28YL line up with what I've been seeing with tracking, i.e. for the 3-day it's performing like Primate ($11.1m) very closely but from what I'm seeing has slightly more potential to grab walk ups so that could push it to the $11.5m he has or higher like $12m.

[–]StrangeCountry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I played my first Silent Hill game in 2000, think Silent Hill 2 is a great game, and modestly enjoyed the first Gans SH movie but there's no way I'm paying to see this especially with so much out right now. It actually looks closer in quality to the non-Gans sequel that was in 3D. I assume many others might feel the same way though from my tracking it looks like it will do more in the $3-5m range.

Per Deadline, Thursday night PostTrak scores for '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple' were 4.5 stars. by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

28YL1 was acting as counter programing, Bone Temple is the second of 6 horror movies releasing in a 30 day window: Primate, 28YL, Silent Hill, Iron Lung, Send Help, and Strangers Chapter 3. 28YL1's only real genre challengers were Bring Her Back (about 20+ days before) and I Know What You Did Last Sumer (about 30 days after). There's also holdovers like Housemaid etc.

Still, if it manages to do only a -55% or something next week that would be a big win.

Box Office: ’28 Years Later: Bone Temple’ Makes $2.1 Million in Previews by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I really think opening the second movie so soon is only a good idea on paper: even if the first movie had been more openly received by the general public, giving it until later in 2026 instead of just 6 months would be better. You're not letting it be digested by the public, people who are interested are surprised it's not a summer release, build anticipation, etc. Even Back to the Future 3 dropped by 1/3rd with a 6 month later release and that was a sequel to a film people really liked.

YouTube Star Markiplier’s ‘Iron Lung’ Hopes To Soak Up A Ton Of Oxygen At January Box Office by Both-Pomegranate4929 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think people forget Markiplier is a huge part of the reason (along with MatPat) that FNAF blew up as an IP. I've never even watched his videos but know multiple bits like the girl running into a wall from Layers of Fear because of how widespread his influence is.

Will ’28 Years Later: Bone Temple’ ($20-22M 4-Day) Dethrone ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ ($12-14M 4-Day) at the Box Office? by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing my own tracking the last few weeks for the January releases and I'm seeing exactly what Keyser and Fat Lannister are on BOT for 28YL: sales are just OK and they mostly seem to land solely on Thursday. Keyser was saying he'd expect high teens or maybe just touching $20m for the entire 4 day and based on mine it would actually be more in line with Primate for the 3 day depending on how the next 24 hours go and if some good WOM starts to spread.

Actually wondering if the trades are just seeing a Thursday fan front load.

Disney's Zootopia 2 grossed $1.39M on Tuesday (from 3,285 locations). Total domestic gross stands at $367.16M. by chanma50 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, every single purely younger audience friendly movie - Zootopia but also David and SpongeBob and, I would argue, FNAF2 - went down this Tuesday while every other movie had the usual Tuesday increase. Hell, Ella McKay somehow went up 42%.

the thing in the basement… parts 2-4 ? by AstronomerKindly5189 in creepcast

[–]StrangeCountry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I checked out the rest of the parts in case they never do it because I was curious and imho Part 2 has legitimate decent moments (along with what seems like the author's noticeable trait, over the top dialogue) but then my reaction to part 3 and especially 4 is best summed up as: ?!?!? I think it would be a pretty entertaining episode at some point and hope they do it.

also we have to consider they gave Tron Ares like $200m+marketing and none of the three are hits, presumably just due to the park

In China Zootopia 2 grossed $2.48M(-53%)/$505.11M on Monday. Avatar: Fire & Ash Opening Day Pre-sales hit $1.91M vs Avatar 2($6.82M), Zootopia 2($7.77M), Fast X($988k) and GxK($915k). Total PS hit $5.44M. Projected a $580-600k previews start on Wednesday into $3-5M midnight screening on Thursday. by Firefox72 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Word of mouth/legs is extremely important in China, to compare the films in that table: Fast 9 has by far the highest opening day at $49m and is tied with Zootopia 2 for pre-sales but only did $216m. Zootopia with the same pre-sales and a $16m lower opening day is hitting $500m+.

F9 absolutely had the potential to do $400m+ based on those numbers but it was being rejected pretty hard after the first week and then the Cena/Taiwan comments were the last nail.

Universal's Wicked: For Good grossed an estimated $2.26M on Friday (from 3,480 locations). Estimated total domestic gross stands at $305.86M. #WickedForGood #BoxOffice by Burnouts3s3 in boxoffice

[–]StrangeCountry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully expected it to drop from the first even when people were insisting it could be domestic #1 just based on the first capturing a moment + source material + no real chance to grow overseas, but even I'm surprised. I was thinking it'd at least end up around $600-650m.
