Looks like America's Box Office is pulling some Arizona 2022 Mid-Terms shenanigans.
China has already reported Avatar 2's figures up through the 26th, yet the entire weekend box office for all movies hasn't gotten an official tally. Not even for Friday or Saturday, and it's Tuesday morning.
Avatar 2's supposed projected take for the Holiday weekend has now inexplicably climbed from $56 Million up to $64 Million, which is $2.5 Million more than it was projected to make before going into the brutal cold weekend.
I'm wondering if you can even take these numbers seriously anymore. Didn't Disney just recently get caught inflating numbers for something else and angering share holders?

I have an extremely long post history here where my threads get either one single post with no interaction, or I've shut it down in the low single digits.
Conversely, look at all of these bullshit Russia threads with hundreds and hundreds of posts, or the Trump Tick Tock threads that are as old as 6 years that will never have the resolution they want so they'll just continue on until Trump dies of old age or Haken turns the lights out.Quote:http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=64470&mid=11671

Paranoid? lol
Why would I be paranoid about that? I don't own Disney stock. I have no dog in that race.
Just pointing out that Covid-riddled China has been able to report the movie's earnings up until yesterday already and the US can't even put Friday's numbers up by Tuesday morning (which is something that has NEVER happened before), after they've been silently bumping up their weekend projections they made before they knew what a clusterfuck storm was coming in the background with no explanations why.
We know why. Disney has been putting out flop after flop all year, in between one or two flicks that just barely limped across the finish line and broke even. Their stock is down more than 55% from it's March of 2021 high already, and admitting Avatar 2 is a flop will ruin them.

Disney accounts for 3 of the 5 Top 10 movies that they still haven't figured out for Friday, let alone the weekend take yet. 2 out of 3 if we're only counting movies that grossed over $1 Million for the holiday weekend. Imagine that, huh?
Keep on cooking those books, Disney. See where it gets you when your shareholders already losing their asses find out.

Is Hollywood being weird political and degenerate because they are degenerate political and a bunch of weirdos
all stats, no well written scripts and lots of diversity hire numbers, directors simply don't have the authority they once did so there's no singular vision
Platos theatre, the fall of Greece and Rome, critics of poets and last few chapter’s of ‘Republic’ to know exactly why giving them rioter and sleazy types too much power is supposed to always 'bad' the Actors and Theater people tend to be very open to nonsense and emotional people so they really jive with the emotional crazy insane political movements
the types defending Polanski shows Hollyweird culture... and greedy... and scummy.

Peaches & Green: ‘Super Mario Bros Movie’ Tops $1B Worldwide; Smashes Studio Records In Japan – International Box Office
It's now the 4th highest Animated Film in the Domestic Box office only behind:
Incredibles 2 (Disney): $608,581,744
The Lion King (Disney): $543,638,043
Beauty and the Beast (Disney): $504,014,165
Super Mario: (Universal): $490,016,000
I doubt very much it would ever cross the $600 Million mark in the US and be the highest grossing animated film ever, but it will beat Beauty and the Beast on Friday night, and my prediction from back on April 21st that it will overtake The Lion King before the end of it's run and make 14th place all time Domestic is all but set in stone at this point.

Blade got back on track to start filming next month, The Hollywood Reporter says Marvel Studios is halting pre-production on the film immediately due to the ongoing writers' strike.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/marvels-blade-dela
yed-writers-strike-1235480828/
Blade a film, comicbook, anime, and tv franchise based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, starring Wesley Snipes as Blade in the original trilogy. The character was created for Marvel Comics by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Gene Colan as a supporting character in the 1970s comic The Tomb of Dracula. In the comic, Blade's mother was bitten by a vampire while she was in labor with Blade, rendering him immune to being turned into a vampire; following the release of Blade; the character was retroactively made into a 'dhampir' and redesigned to match his film counterpart. A reboot was expected in year 2024
Recent Flops? Antman Quantumania, West Side Story remake or revamp, Babylon 2022, Lightyear, The Suicide Squad, Amsterdam 2022, Black Adam, The Matrix Resurrections...and now a writers strike!

I really, really hope they don't screw this one up.
The first two Blade movies are two of my favorite comic book movies of all time. That's not saying much from me since I pretty much hate the genre today, but when I saw both of them in the theater I LOVED them. (I never did see much of the third one except for maybe 30 minutes of it on commercial TV).

"Oppenheimer" is scheduled to be released theatrically on July 21, 2023, by Universal Pictures (which released a flop called "Serenity"). Considering the film's budget and marketing costs, Variety stated that the film will need to gross at least $400 million worldwide to make a profit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppenheimer_%28film%29
Even if Oppenheimer flops, director Christopher Nolan will profit. Some of Nolan's demands included 20 percent of the film's first-dollar gross**, a production budget of $100 million and an equal marketing budget, a theatrical window of at least 100 days, and a three-week period before and after the film's release in which Universal could not release another new film.
Even if Oppenheimer crashes, the actors will profit. Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, and Emily Blunt took pay cuts to work on the film, earning $4 million each in lieu of their usual $10–20 million salaries. Again, these actors are paid $4 million whether or not Oppenheimer is profitable.
**First-dollar gross is a practice in filmmaking in which the participant receives a percentage of the gross box-office revenue, starting from a film's first day of release. The participant begins sharing in the profits from the first ticket sale, not waiting until the film studio turns a profit.
Who is this Oppenheimer? He is not Batman! Read about him in Oppenheimer I: “An unctuous, repulsively good little boy”
