Well...yeah. 

'Cuz one of those movies is actually good.

Okay. Now you are entering 'residence' status versus squatter. You need to start paying rent!

Right...

Even with ridiculous population growth, the chances that 35 years from now even 1 million people watch the Snyder cut in a single week are zero.

Do you need the address where to send the monthly rental check? I can get that from Snyder for you.

Just got back.  Enjoyable movie.  Had some predictable cheese, but the last hour was really fun.  Loved all the flying scenes.  Really well done.  Agree about Connelly.  She looked great.  Definitely a movie to see in the theater.  Helped wash out the bad taste of Multiverse of Madness.

Paramount/Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick held throughout the week, and it’s holding at a brilliant steady in weekend 2. I’m hearing that it’s -33% ease is one of the best for a wide release that’s opened to north of $100M, ahead of the -40% posted by Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December 2015. Top Gun 2 is looking at $84.5M (again, rivals have it higher, but why get over your skis in this pandemic marketplace) which will put it at $290M EOD Sunday

gonna blow past DS:MOM

Time to make an easy prediction.  Top Gun will have another great hold for weekend 3.

 

I am also thinking these estimates will also turn out to be low.

We went last night and it was great (especially the last hour).  Very suspenseful and so many great nods to the original.  I couldn’t come up with anything to complain about and I’ll see it again when it’s streaming.

Could legs take this film past Multiverse of Madness? An only 32% drop would seem to through the typical multiplies out the window.

Estimates are putting it past $800M (+) WW.

Great holds for week 2 but alas , the equally nostalgia- laden jurassic Park movie coming out next weekend is going to throw cold water on the Top Gun party.

(PS- The "'pandemic' era" for movies ended when all theaters were "allowed" to reopen at full capacity a long time ago wish people would retire that silly term once and for all).

I am trying rationalize my desire to see this film with the fact that I really don't like
Tom Cruise and many of his viewpoints. My wife really hates him more then I do.
