ok thanks for clearing that up

That’s the best Monday ever for November, better than Frozen II ($12.7M on November 25, 2019), better than The Hunger Games: Catching Fire ($12.3M, November 25, 2013), higher than Skyfall ($11.3M, November 12, 2012) and bigger than post-Covid’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever ($11.1M, November 14, 2022). Wicked‘s domestic total shoots up to $128.1M through four days.
Wow. It did better than movies from 2019, 2013 and 2012, not adjusted for four years of Bidenflation and beyond!!!????? Ya don't say.
Yeah... Wakanda Forever came out in 2022, sure. But That was the last DEI Marvel trash movie that people were cajoled into seeing before the bottom fell out for Disney Marvel and everything they put out bombed hard. It likely was the straw that broke the camel's back. Big whoop. If it wasn't for Hollywood milking the rest of the liberal white guilt in the country for everything it was worth, this movie wouldn't even be mentioned on this list.
If that story that two Wicked films were filmed at the same time for $350 Million is true, this movie SERIES is dead in the water.
It's grossed its stated $145 Million production budget back in the US alone in 6 days, but the international audience is not impressed, giving it just under $50 Million on opening weekend.
With the stated $145 Million budget, it only needs to make $362.5 Million to break even. With the numbers being put up in the US on Monday and Tuesday, I don't see this being a problem unless the bottom falls out after Moana 2 gets released and the holiday weekend is over.
But at $350 Million for producing 2 movies, you need to look at the totals for both of them. They're going to have to make $875 Million on both movies combined to break even.
It will be a LONG while before we find out that my prediction here is true, but there is zero chance that Wicked and its upcoming sequel are going to gross anything close to that number worldwide.
The only way this movie and its sequel put up the numbers they need is if the Legacy Media is right and Trump tariffs and up raising inflation to 20%. But in that case we can look forward to even the shittiest of rom-coms and horror movies breaking records because it costs $20 for a loaf of bread.
One thing I don't see anybody talking about is the marketing budget for Wicked. I imagine that they spent a LOT more on this movie than they typically do. How much do you think they paid for the first ad spot during the Superbowl?
I suspect that they're actually going to have to earn $1 Billion for this to be considered a real success by anybody who knows what they're talking about after you factor in the larger than usual marketing budget.
I doubt we'll ever know the truth on that though. The only time I've ever heard anybody state what the actual marketing budget was, was AFTER Barbie was a runaway success and they came out and admitted their GIANT marketing budget for the movie was $5 Million more than the production budget.

SPOILER ALERT: As I predicted several months ago, of all the remaining movies left in 2024, the one that I never questioned would make enough money to beat the 3 Chinese movies was Moana 2, and after its Wednesday opening day take, it's already proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that $500 Million will be EASY.
$57,500,000 in the US on Wednesday night alone, with another $8.8 Million internationally for a total of $65.3 Million in 1 day to kick off a 4 day holiday weekend. If it's releasing everywhere internationally this weekend too, this thing is going to sail past a quarter of a billion by Sunday night without a problem. $300 Million + maybe? $400 Million +?
https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Moana-2-(2024)#tab=box-office
If we can get just one more movie in 2024 that cracks $480 Million we can keep the amount of Chinese movies in the top ten to only 2. I think 3 is almost certainly a record, and is going to look extremely bad for Hollywood to cap off one of the worst years they ever had outside of the covid shutdowns that the Democrat party inflicted on everyone.

Woke/Woke/Woke! And while I'm at it, why is today called Black Friday? Why isn't it White Friday?

I don't use the term Woke much but if you do...its better when you put 'ism' after Woke

At the very start people in the USA were watching Frecnch style A Trip to the Moon or German Metropolis
I don't use the term 'Woke', I try to avoid the term and call it a weird tinseltown 'message' SJW Anti-American tranny diversity pro-islamic crap.
there is something about some movies made inside the USA that are just odd, that are anti-USA
but for now let's use 'Woke'
and I think you misunderstand 'Woke' or what annoys people, the extreme 'Politics'
Japan and Korea have brands that sell to a US audience, they do politics at times but they do not bash you over the head with a message. If there is politics it is subtle, they are not pushing politics but have foreign ideas in S.Korea, foreign languages but the USA will watch, Japanese anime and video games are consumed. Same for France it has its own brand, Italian, Sanish, Euro movies if they have something to offer people in the USA consume, the Indian RRR was respected, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon won awards, it became the highest-grossing foreign produced Mandarin-language film in American history.
Ethnicity or Race is not an issue when Morgan Freeman was playing as a persioner in Shawshank Redemption nobody said today it is 'Woke' it is a normal movie, Samuel L. Jackson playing his role as Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a normal box office experience, nothing 'Woke' about it, the richest woman in the USA is a Black woman Oprah and White people watch her.
There is nothing 'Woke' about Russell Means in Last of the Mohicans nor is there a woke message in the original, Twin Peaks does not feel woke because it has Native American culture, the movies of The Twilight Saga are not 'Woke' but they are somewhat teen romance, Chief George who portrayed the character Lone Watie in Clint Eastwood’s The Outlaw Josey Wales is not 'Woke' . Also movies can be controversial without bashing you with politics, there is nothing Woke about Will Sampson’s portrayal as Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest .
Kurosawa films are foreign language and loved the world over, and for a while as the Revisionist Western emerged the Italian style the spaghetti Western started to do it better than Hollywood. People wanted to see Western films produced in Europe because of better Italian sets, extras, the soundtrack with Italian flavor a new musical score, the Italy style Western beating Hollwyod at its own game which emerged in the mid-1960s.
having other enthnicity and other languages is not the 'Woke' message so I think you misunderstand what culturally drives people to an older more free Hollywood or 'Maga' and traditionalism

Woke/Woke/Woke! And while I'm at it, why is today called Black Friday? Why isn't it White Friday?
I don't recall ever hearing anybody refer to either of the Moana movies as woke. I've never seen them myself, so I couldn't say.
But all of the reasons that Second provides sarcastically as reasons why it is woke have nothing at all to do with wokeness. They are just a simple-minded retard's take on the issue, which they almost certainly got from other simple minds like Joy Ried, Rachel Maddow or Kevin Drum.
The little I know about Moana leads me to believe the property is the EXACT OPPOSITE of woke.
Woke is turning Wolverine into an androgynous 16 year old minority lesbian female.
Woke is Black Ariel.
Woke is racists blatantly pandering to minorities who don't appreciate this behavior any more than normal while people who didn't get a college "education" do.
Moana, from what little I know about it, is the exact thing the anti-woke people of all races have been asking the "creatives" for.
Make new characters written in such a way that people will fall in love with them just like they did all the predominantly white characters that historically came in the past.
When my niece was only 4 years old her parents took her on a Disney cruise. Tiana from Princess and the Frog was her favorite Disney Princess, which might be surprising because if you knew her at the time her favorite colors were Pink and Purple, and while many other Disney Princesses wore these colors, Tiana was always wearing green.
Both of her parents are Trump voters and this did not bother them one bit. In fact, my brother showed enthusiasm when telling me the story about when they got her all dressed up in her princess oufit and took her to the Princess Dinner where all the girls got to eat with all the Disney princesses. She was so excited when they were able to get her a seat next to the actress playing Tiana for the night. At some point, while believing she was actually sitting next to Princess Tiana, my niece told her that she was her favorite Princess.
This cruise actress was so touched by this, that later that day they got a knock on their cabin door and it was Tiana coming by to see her again with a Princess and the Frog coloring book she got from one of the gift shops and she wrote a wonderful little message for my niece and signed it.
The way my brother can tell stories, that was one of the most touching things I ever heard. My little niece just being herself brought that much actual joy to a complete stranger that they would go out of their way and do something like that for her in return.
Are you ready to grow up and behave like a real person anytime soon, Second?
I don't have any more time
