I'll take slop over woke, but Hollywood can't settle for that. That's what was destroying Hollywood and allowed for all the woke shit in the first place.
And until they figure out a model that works, they'd better slash those actor's budgets.

Looks like they got the internationals for the week really early this time around.
That with the $16 Million it pulled in on its 3rd Friday night gives us $662,526,515 worldwide, beating the high end of my total worldwide prediction by Minecraft by $12 Million after only 15 days.
It's still not a Billion Dollar movie, but it will get a lot closer than I thought it would. I don't have any exact math in front of me, but that was something in the area of $80 to $90 Million internationally, which is still big numbers.
It's far enough along now where if it keeps managing these very low week-to-week dropoffs I might end up eating crow over the Billion Dollar thing too if nothing comes out in the next few weeks that draws young audiences elsewhere.
There's no scenario where it comes close to beating Super Mario Bros., but it would be foolish of me to say 100% that it won't hit 1 Billion at this point. I don't think the chances of that are good at all, but I'd say there is a very small chance that it could given the right circumstances going forward.

Maybe I started drinking Bruce's Kool-Aid here...
I mentioned that he predicted a -26% for the weekend drop, which by far was the smallest drop I've ever seen predicted.
It actually dropped -43%.
$41,300,000 for the weekend, and 2nd place to Sinners.
$695,526,515 worldwide total after Weekend 3.
This movie will not make $1 Billion.

Mario Bros Movie had a huge international, Nintendo sells all over the world with all types of gamers, it probably because part of recognizable pop culture with all the toys, cartoons over the years
and even the silly 1993 movie probably gave it mainstream exposure with Dennis Hopper, Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Fiona Shaw, Samantha Mathis, Lance Henriksen, Fisher Stevens.
The Legend of Ochi 2025 next week?
it seems that WB's movie SINNERS beat Minecraft with its $45-46 Million numbers in its Easter weekend
doing well especially for a period supernatural horror film
Budget $90–100 million

Wow. They actually still have gaming on Twitch? I thought it was just an e-whore website now.

Clownfish TV just yesterday said there's no way that Minecraft isn't a Billion Dollar movie by now.
We'll see about that.
$716,524,380 worldwide after Weekend 3. 48% Domestic / 52% International.
