Re: December 12-16 predictions
The Princess Bride, Nickelback references and holiday theme just made it seem to me a North American thing. Not made for Chinese audiences.
Deadpool2 re-release is also not playing anywhere in Europe or Asia, as far as I know.

Re: December 12-16 predictions
Spiderverse is great. Crowd was eating it up and almost every one stayed for the post credits scene. I still don’t think it will open huge though, there’s just been too much Spider-Content out over the last two years.

Re: December 12-16 predictions
I'm a little more conservative on The Mule. Reviews are just lukewarm and a mid-December bow is more likely to see a leggy run than a $17m+ the studio is expecting. Plus, buzz for this doesn't seem quite as palpable.

Re: December 12-16 predictions
If Spider-verse does $40m, it will be the box office story of the year for me. I just cannot comprehend how it does so much. It looks like a perfect little $12m opener, maybe $17m tops if it overperforms. Are BOM crazy? The reasons they give are so ludicrous. "It's Marvel"...well, Spidey is technically a Marvel character, sure. But that's not what "it's Marvel" means in today's MCU world. To most, these Sony Spider-Man films are not Marvel. So I do not see that being a positive. Also, it's animated, and it doesn't look to be of the CG kind. That will surely hurt it. I don't know. Maybe I've just read it all wrong (wouldn't be the first time). The only one they give that makes any sense is that last weekend was empty.

That one opened to $29m in wide release 10 years ago. This is a quasi-sequel. Fans will turn out to help boost OW.

Re: December 12-16 predictions
I really just don't see The Mule opening less than 20 Million. I honestly won't be surprised by high 20's. Tickets are selling really well. It's breaking out.
