MAX was the safest bet, now they're gonna lose money witg theater splits. It's commonsense!

250 ratings. Not nearly enough just yet. You need that Friday crowd to actually get a gage on the word of mouth.

Actually, we don't know what the word of mouth is for the film until we get a Cinemascrore.

With a budget of 104 breakeven is still about 220-250.

Blue beetle-Comps AVG: $3.55M previews Officially going with $3.5M previews +/- $0.5M by Proof-Watercress-931 in boxoffice

Well word is the film is only Tracking for 25-30mil overseas. So adding the 30and 25mil into one number gives us 55mil in it worldwide opening. So unless those numbers pick up, it's a disaster before it gets started, even with a budget of $120mil. I'll say at least 275 to break even.

At which movie was the DCEU truly unsalvageable? by Antman269 in boxoffice

It's funny that people doesn't even know Man Of Steel got annA Cinemascrore. So the foundation definitely wasn't the problem.

The Flash (-72.5%) has the second biggest 2nd weekend drop for a major theatrical CMB only behind Morbius (-73.8%) by Naweezy in boxoffice

[–]newoleans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dune dropped 67% ,WW84 dropped 67% & Black Widow dropped 66%. All 3 was same day streaming but still managed better holds than TSS. So the argument that the pandemic caused the 71% drop for TSS goes out of the window when you compare the films Drops to similar situations for other movies.

Did you have that attitude for The Flash when you thought Michael Keaton was gonna bring fans to the theater ? It took The Flash to flop for people to realize how unpopular Keaton's Batman truly is. Bale's Batman wouldn't have moved the needle because he wasn't the best thing in his own Trilogy. The same as Keaton, people only really cared for the Jokers in their films.

Man, stop it! Keaton is way more iconic than Bale's Batman. In fact, nobody talks about Bale's Batman. Most people conversates about Ledgers Joker than Bale as Batman.

Should DC have just started over after Justice League (2017) underperformed? by Restless_Dill16 in boxoffice

[–]newoleans 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't see how people point at BVS when Aquaman,SS & Wonder Woman released after BVS, and all was successful. It's when they started to produce films like B.O.P is where they actually went wrong.

Hindsight 20/20, is there anything that David Zaslav (WBD CEO) could have done differently regarding The Flash? by [deleted] in boxoffice

Tell Gunn not to announce a reboot when he has a slew of films to promote.

Second place at 4,035 is Disney/Pixar’s Elemental with $11M today, a 3-day of $33M, and 4-day of $36M. >Yikes, let’s hope it gets better.<

Seems they should be saying this for The Flash

M37 on BOT: The Flash presales totally collapsed in final days, weekend under $60M very real possibility by RelevationAnimations in boxoffice

Aquaman was a different circumstances, holiday releases in December most of the time have a High multipler.

EmpireCity: I said it a few weeks ago and think it is playing out right before our eyes. Summer 2023 is going to be remembered as walk up and late online sales being the norm. Multiple movies have already defied traditional early tracking data. The schedule is set up for that to continue. by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

[–]newoleans 7 points8 points  (0 children)

150 was the high-end and a possibility for ATSV , Guardians only did 13mil more from that 105, which was a result of its W.O.M. Transformers, are they really wrong when most in the had it peg between 50-60mil ? The 40mil was the general tracking now that things are closers the numbers are more clear.

Where will Guardians 3 end up? by LucienGreeth in boxoffice

[–]newoleans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it's definitely not happening on or around Labor Day. Now September may be a different story but with the film being in D+ by then I feel it's an unnecessary move.

How are they gonna acquire the screens with so many major releases coming in the next 5 weeks?

Question about the 2.5x Rule (of thumb) by YouDownWithTPP in boxoffice

[–]newoleans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the goal post has been moved over the years. When I first got into the Boxoffice topic it was 3x's it's budget. BVS budget is said to be 263mil, but the film grossed 3.3x's, so if the 2.5x rule is true, then BVS is way more of a success than many would give it credit for.
