I think it was an almost miracle it opened to almost $40 million. A film delayed as much as that was usually bombs out at less than $10 million. -- nm - Inigo Apr 11, 08:50
Have we ultimately pinned it on just not being a good movie, Jared Leto, or the multiple release dates? -- nm - Qale Apr 11, 08:38 2
- The causes are probably multivariate. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 08:41 1
  - Multiverse? Oh no. We’re writing him out of the Multiverse. -- nm - Qale Apr 11, 08:59
I just want a release date for EEAAO here. That is all I am asking. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 11, 08:19 1
- EEAAO: A. Bananas with bells on. Enjoyed it greatly. - Baruno Apr 11, 08:25
I guess they haven't watched it, if they are shocked. Well, with that BO I'm sure they didn't. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 11, 08:17
I'm shocked they are shocked -- nm - St. Epiphany Apr 11, 08:11 5
- On the one hand, they're probably just saying that to save face. On the other hand, they could be stuck in a Putinesque bubble of their own making. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 08:14 3
  - I always put these quotes down to internal studio politics. - Roger More Apr 11, 08:23
  - This is my shocked face. -- nm - budice Apr 11, 08:16
  - RELEASE THE ESPINOSA CUT!!! -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 08:16
- (They’re not) -- nm - spamlet Apr 11, 08:13
It’s the 2nd worst comic drop ever, behind Steel. Worse than X-men 3, Spider-Man 3, and Jonah Hex among others. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 11, 07:52 14
- Meanwhile, Sonic opens to the biggest video game opening weekend ever -- (link) - oblique Apr 11, 08:00 10
  - video game and comic book. Been a comic book since 1991. -- nm - Remlik Apr 11, 08:27 3
    - Video game and comic book and cartoon -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 08:28 2
      - Video game, comic book, cartoon, and yiff in hell. -- nm - Qale Apr 11, 08:40 1
        
        That last one is probably driving a non-zero amount of box office -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 08:43
  - I was a bit more surprised that it was Jim Carrey's biggest opening weekend. -- nm - oblique Apr 11, 08:13 3
    - His main movies came out when legs were important. Now they are nonexistent, everything is about opening weekend. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 11, 08:16
    - And now you know the reason that he breaks his retirement for these. -- nm - Spawn Apr 11, 08:15 1
      - My kids are crazy for Sonic Boom on Netflix, so I'm not rightly surprised. The boy is asking already to go. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 11, 11:01
  - *klaxon* -- nm* - Faint Praise Alarm Apr 11, 08:01 1
    - If you listen carefully, the faint praise alarm sounds like it's saying "Meh... meh... meh..." -- nm - Baruno Apr 11, 08:05
- Ooof Jonah Hex. -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 07:58 2
  - "Technically, This Is A Movie" -- nm - the best pull quote they could find Apr 11, 08:00 1
    - Just looked up the movie, since Hex, the Director only has done "Free Birds." The writers have had more success - MDH Apr 11, 08:06
The shitty movie everyone made fun of dropped badly? Wow! -- nm - Reagen Apr 11, 07:50 2
- "It sucked, literally" -- nm - budice Apr 11, 07:53
- Agreed with all of this :-) -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 07:51
Morbius looks like it will be lucky to hit $100M ($10M weekend and at $57M currently) -- nm* - Beaker Apr 11, 07:48 2
- the EEAAO seems weird. it's average is double everything else in the top 5 except for Sonic ($4800 vs $2400 give or take for the rest) -- (edited) - Beaker Apr 11, 07:50
- It's going to be lucky to hit $75-80M Domestically, $100M has zero chance. Apparently the breakeven is $240M WW. -- nm - MDH Apr 11, 07:50
