paperheart Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Friday Midday: Disney’s Eternals is heading toward a $30M Friday, including those $9.5M previews from last night. Given that Friday is typically around 40% of the weekend, this will put the Chloe Zhao directed movie in the $70M-$75M range from what we’ve figured. Again, all this could fluctuate up or down by Saturday AM. unless this is a typical Deadline lowball, will only get past BW in US due to absolutely zero competition in November Edited November 5, 2021 by paperheart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are studios supposed to cater to people who illegally watch their movies? paperheart and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piper Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 On 11/5/2021 at 9:45 AM, Bosco685 said: Not to pick on you ever @piper but what gets extremely tiring here is when a few make it a regular event to pick apart all other studios so as to proclaim Disney and Marvel Studios rules. Especially utilizing Rotten Tomatoes and box office results that at times don't always tell the full story. Like in the case of WarnerMedia making the determination to purposely go with a hybrid schedule, and writing off the losses in advance. So a movie like The Suicide Squad comes out that even the studio recognized it was going to heavily depend on the streaming results to gauge success and less on box office results. But that didn't hold some back on here from trashing the film repeatedly even though some had not even watched the film. Did you stop to ask them if they had seen the non-MCU movie? I generally watch most of them regardless of the studio producing the film. I admit that I didn't make it out to Venom 2, but will eventually see it. My observation is that the hate (dare I say venom?) is just as bad amongst the folks slinging mud at Disney, as it as those slinging mud at Warner, Sony, et al. Everyone needs to stop with the diatribe and get the threads back to talking about the film in question. PS: I'm going to see Eternals this weekend. PPS: Dune was very good, bordering on excellent even if I hated the Hans Zimmer soundtrack. TupennyConan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then at least it would set a standard for us all to live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
