D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

[OB1]

the-numbers.com has JW4 about 20k behind D&D yesterday. Make's sense that D&D would take a bigger hit from SMB than JW4 would. Now the question is can D&D bounce back over the weekend.

Most just that one week difference. Movies are very loaded on first 3 weeks.

John Wick had a 62% drop off while D&D one is 45% (well ceiling).

See what the numbers add up to and how close it comes to projections but D&D should beat John Wick next week or two.

I was under the impression John Wick 4 was underperforming expectations.

Totally. 100% underperforming becauss streaming and word of mouth and critical response and audience response aren’t important to anything. They’re all straw man.

It's rather odd to only not report a single film. It's still available in my area.

But, Mario is going to be like 4000 screens and those screens are probably, mostly, going to come from Wick and Shazam.
I would expect Honor Among Thieves to have the second most screens domestically this weekend.

Paramount announced it was getting a full theatrical run so don’t expect it to lose screen for a couple weeks. Maybe move to smaller seatings.

It's also the kind of film I expect will be popular at the discount movie theaters.

Nothing matters. Everything is a flop and nothing is popular.

That sounds like something a disciple of Shar would say. It would be interesting to see how her priests/followers would be portrayed in a future D&D film. Her nihilism might resonate with a contemporary audience (Gen X?).

Objectively it's not a smash hit that's John Wick or Mario's projections.

The problem is, I don't think you're being objective.

You've been told that your metric is wrong, and you flat out ignore it. It seems that accepting that the opposite might be true; that the movie is actually doing really well, is something you are unwilling to do, regardless of statistics.

We don't have access to internal financial data.

I started the thread back in February the question basically is flop or not at the box office. No one here can argue anything else because none of us have the data.

I'm aware of other metrics.

Except for Mario it seems.

Except for Mario it seems.

Which is no surprise at all.
