The craziness of December 21st
AQUAMAN, ALITA and BUMBLEBEE opening on the same date is just crazy - the three movies share too much of the same audience, especially with MORTAL ENGINES and SPIDER-MAN in their second weekend...
Have the studios gone completely mad?

Re: The craziness of December 21st
I got hint of a rumor that Aquaman will be moving up a little. (and James Wan said a trailer is coming soon)

Re: The craziness of December 21st
Animated Spider-Man = Flop Alita = Flop Mortal Engines = Flop
So it's really only Aquaman and Bumblebee that will be grossing anything significant.

Re: The craziness of December 21st
Depends if Aquaman is dark and gothic, then Christmas suits it. But yeah, I agree with the rest. Mortal Engines and Alita: Battle Angel will most likely flop. But I have a hard time calling Into the Spider-verse a flop because I doubt it cost much, and animated superhero flicks rarely even get to the cinema, so it's already won. And it'll probably make $35-50m, which is fine for it.

Re: The craziness of December 21st
Something should move to November 2nd. Or at least November 9th.

Re: The craziness of December 21st
My hope for Mortal Engines dwindles with its trailer not much better than the inexplicably shit YA sci-fi genre.
That said, nothing else looks really good either.
Spiderman's alright. Alita's awful. Bumblebee is tired. Aquaman...was there a trailer? Think there was but not really interested.

Re: The craziness of December 21st
I don't think I've seen a trailer yet for Aquaman. Maybe I did but if so then it's forgettable.

Re: The craziness of December 21st
He also said Wonder Woman was good, and that turned out to be a turd. So I wouldn't put much value in TDS's opinion on DC flicks.

Why would I suddenly start speaking for everyone? I am, of course, speaking for myself, as I always do (hence the "So I wouldn't put much value in TDS's opinion on DC flicks.".

Re: The craziness of December 21st
Yet you said it in the next sentence, so it obviously doesn't.
But hey, you like to pretend you're smarter than everyone in the room.

Re: The craziness of December 21st
So Alita is gone but there are 5 new releases for the week (Mary Poppins, Aquaman, Welcome to Marwen, Second Act and Bumblebee) with 3 holdovers from the previous week... still pretty crazy.
Mortal Engines seems like such a huge bomb, would be surprised if it makes 20m+ overall.

So it barely counts. But if anything it's more crowded than it was when the releases were made up of obvious flops like Alita and Mortal Engines. Mary Poppins and Aquaman will do great, and so will Spider-Man but on a smaller-scale. Anyway, it's Christmas week. There's plenty of money to go around to the movies people are interested in.

Re: The craziness of December 21st
Bumblebee should have moved to January. It would have the month all to itself there. Instead it will be cannibalized by Aquaman (teen audience) and Mary Poppins (family audience).

Re: The craziness of December 21st
I think anything above the last Transformers film domestically would be a win for Bumblebee. If it does less than that then yes, it shouldn't have tried to compete.
