They just don’t. I’m not saying it’ll ruin the movie, but it will be noticeable, I’m sure. Bofur01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,466 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Actually, I don't think there is any movie this year that will make more money than Mario. Unless The Little Mermaid performs like 2017 Beauty and the Beats or 2019 Aladdin, or The Flash crazy overperforms (early reactions are saying the movie is great), or even Indy goes the distance, this will be Mario's year.

Tom 4,661 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Indy, even if great, will not surpass Mario. The model for this movie is likely Top Gun, which did as well as an "80s" movie could. The teenage/YA crowd is just not likely to give a movie like IJ repeat viewings at the theatre. I would even argue that the smarter the movie is, the less likely it will compete for a top spot. But, that just might be the old man in me talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff like SW and MCU releases are very front heavy because people see it early to avoid spoilers and then there's a significant drop. If anything, Top Gun and Avatar succeeded specifically because they had longevity rather than a record breaking opening. And because they were able to bring in more casual, older viewers who come in on word-of-mouth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, there's something about THUNDERBALL.
