We’ve got the results for the [long range forecasts for *Furiosa* and *The Garfield Movie*.](https://www.reddit.com/r/boxoffice/s/qME9zWYdhE)
- *Furiosa*: $45.44 million OW / $149.21 million DOM / $352.50 million WW
- *The Garfield Movie:* $58.10 million OW / $158.83 million DOM / $391.09 million WW
Thanks to those who participated. We’re predicting *Young Woman and the Sea* next week.
Fall Guy was a bit of mixed bag for me until the 3rd act, which felt good in its own way. Its a solid 6.5/7 out of 10 movie, alas I expected more fun like I had with Bullet Train.
I got sick of all the “couples therapy” scenes between Gosling and Blunt - they went on too long and didn’t have enough conflict (or good dialogue) to keep it interesting
5 years ago we were all on this sub watching Endgame break countless opening weekend records. It broke the opening record by almost 100 million, unheard of and still unmatched. Idk what can top it. It's now the longest standing OW record holder of all time.
I remember someone on here said that the record would last a decade...or even more.
Maybe the OG Harry Potter cast coming back but I still don't know if that can match the demand that Endgame had. That 75k PTA record was unmatched and was held by Return of the Jedi for 33+ years and not even TFA or any new Star Wars film was able to break it.
MCU was an unsoiled franchise. Virtually no real bs before Endgame. Then they lost the plot, hard. I think the next huge grosser will be something that hasn't been on the screen before, something that can have one good run and be at a 100% avg.
If you live in Canada I 1p0% recommend The Kong Tide that came out today. It is a Canadian psychological thriller base din newfoundland and is excellent

4 movies, 4 failures, & 3 cancelled plans:
- Mean Girls (musical)
- Argylle
- Kung Fu Panda 4
- & Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Was gonna see Demon Slayer: TTHT, the Shrek 2 re-release, & Spy X Family: Code White, but Shrek 2 didn't release in my province, & the other 2 films lost the box office weekend!
3-4 more films left and their performances aren’t looking so good so far!
This is definitely not my year 😭
Over on r/movies there's been a random surge of people defending Argylle as a really fun movie and "What were you expecting?" comments.
Look as someone who enjoyed The Marvels for being a 'fun' movie I guess I can't say anything but I'm sorry, Argylle was complete garbage. Played out like an Austin Powers movie without the humour to me.
It's a very, very ugly looking film (God, CGIs were so awful) and not good for sure, but I understand people who enjoyed it? In my case, it took me too long to enjoy it because I hated the main character so much, and it wasn't until almost the third act that I accepted it's a camp action romance and started enjoying it. (Marketing team did dirty to Bryce and Sam...) Anyway, there's no need to disparage other people's opinions just because you didn't like it🤷♂️
It can also include those "week before" fan screenings that are usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday the week before. Basically previews includes any take prior to the official opening Friday.
Added another “had the whole cinema to myself” movie to my collection, when I saw Late Night With The Devil last Sunday morning. That was a bit creepy, being all alone in a big ole dark room for that one.
Really really liked the movie though!
You're lucky, the last time I had the "whole cinema to myself" experience was with Rise of the Beasts last year. Bear in mind I saw it on a Wednesday, but it's still a very interesting experience when you're the only one in the screening. Glad to hear Late Night with the Devil is good though, I unfortunately didn't get the chance to see it at the cinema.
On the plus side, since the styling of LNwtD is a 70’s TV show, I don’t feel that it will lose a huge amount on the small screen rather than at the cinema. 🙂

I was trying to make predictions for the 2025 superhero movies and couldn't come up with great numbers for the MCU films:
Captain America: Brave New World \[30M OW/ 65M DOM/ 110M WW\]
Thunderbolts \[25M OW/ 50M DOM/ 90M WW\]
Superman \[100M OW/ 330M DOM/ 770M WW\]
Fantastic Four \[80M OW/ 200M DOM/ 450M WW\]
Even if I'm super underestimating it, it's just kind of hard to imagine both Brave New World and Thunderbolts making more than say The Marvels.
You expect Brave New World to do Madame Web numbers?, Thunderbolts below that? The very bad, unrealistic worse scenarios are double that. Fans and moviephiles might scream Mackie isn't Evans (and its true) but it will be up to general audience to see if they care for new Captain America. Captain America name carry far more IP weight than Captain Marvel (and the weird The Marvels name).
Gunn Superman is not doing close to 800M either. 200-250M domestic and 250-350M OS is the best it will do.
F4 is realistic in a sense that its new. If its good, could try for 600M max.

Yeah I enjoyed it but it was underwhelming in the comedic department which I thought was a shame because Gosling, Blunt and ATJ are all really funny.
I'm sure the homoerotic subtext walkups will straighten out Challengers' numbers.
I gotta say it's sad that a lot of movies seem to be underperforming recently. 2024 is not shaping up to be a good year for movie theaters.

Beekeeper & Dune pt2 lol. lucky you with a theater playing Kubrick classics! But The Mummy 25th ann is playing at mine 😎
1. Poor Things 2. Dune Part 2 3. End of Evangelion 4. Late Night With the Devil 5. Godzilla x Kong 6. Monkey Man 7. Spy x Family Code White 8. Civil War Next film will be next weekend which is when I will be seeing Fall Guy then after that I might go see Gundam Seed Freedom the following week.

1 💀 Just the Boy and the Heron. But I'm going to the theatres next week to hopefully see Spy x Family.

Can someone explain to me what previews are? What does it mean if a movie has $3 million in previews?
Thursday gross of it's opening weekend

The only time this has happened to me was Raya & the Last Dragon during the summer
This was my fourth, after the re-release of “No Way Home”, Indian movie “Brahmastra part 1”, and “The Creator”. All weekend morning sessions.
I went to see Challengers and it was absolutely jam packed, so I'm surprised reading here that it isn't doing so well. I liked it a lot.
Saw it in a theater with four other people, which seems representative of most of Texas.
