EmpireCity Box Office
@EmpireCityBO
I've been watching @SouthPark for all nearly 28 years, and last night was their magnum opus. Bravo to Matt Stone and Trey Parker, they have more balls than every corporation in the United States. A nice big middle finger to Donald Trump and spineless @paramountplus and @Skydance.
This is being filmed in the same delusional universe right along side Zack Snyder's sequels to Rebel Moon and Travolta's Battlefield Earth trilogy.
Ari Aster says he is developing a “sort of” sequel to ‘EDDINGTON’: “It's not really a sequel, but there are returning characters.” (m.youtube.com/watch?v=YROSq5…)

Now that the @ParamountPics sale is final, next step is to see what new films are announced for theatrical. I'm guessing they want to start with a bang and get things like Top Gun 3, Star Trek, A Quiet Place, Transformers and more. Possible distribution on Matchbox as well.

It's wild, studios and indie film companies just finding completed sci-fi films sitting on their shelves with dust covering them and randomly releasing them this summer. First DISTANT and now long forgotten WAR OF THE WORLDS with Ice Cube and Eva Longoria.

Much better trailer to sell this movie to the general public, just trying to sell it on PTA quirkiness wasn't working. Clear plot, solid hook, great song and will be cool if this breaks through.
No fear. #OneBattleAfterAnother only in theaters September 26.
****BANGER ALERT!!!!!!!!*****
The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a story about the terror and beauty of walking into the unknown, but the movie is so afraid of defying Marvel convention that only the terror shines through. starts strong, crawls to the finish. my review: indiewire.com/criticism/movi…
Excellent acceleration on @FantasticFour sales in the last 24 hours. Starts out near 90% positive on @RottenTomatoes . Looking at a $135m+ opening weekend and won't be shocked if it goes higher as positive word of mouth spreads. @MarvelStudios and @DisneyStudios rolling.
Holy shit. It's time to move dates on THE RUNNING MAN @ParamountPics . Don't bee foolish, you're going to get run over if you stay on Nov. 7th.
First hunt. Last chance. From the director of Prey, watch the brand-new trailer for Predator: Badlands, in theaters November 7.
Oh shut the fuck up with this nonsense @ScottMendelson, what an absurd thing to post. x.com/ScottMendelson…
No matter what, @Superman is unquestionably a smash hit given all the factors. @warnerbros needed it to be well reviewed, break even and not fall apart after the first weekend. It has fantastic WOM and successfully launched @JamesGunn's DCU. It's a massive win for everyone.
But internationally the numbers remain wobbly. And Superman only has a few days left to itself before facing direct competition from Marvel's FANTASTIC FOUR, which will also take away lucrative Imax screens. (FF is tracking to open to $130M to $140M.)
Another completely pathetic opening for @A24 this weekend with $50m+ budgeted (crazy, but true) @eddingtonmovie not even hitting $4.5m on opening weekend. A whole lot riding now on big budget #TheSmashingMachine and #MartySupreme performing this Fall/Winter.
Update - looking like @Superman should come in on the high end or a bit above after a fantastic Saturday. Could be $57m-$58m now. Great weekend overall and should be fun to see how it continues to hold up the next few weeks. It did its job and swung the summer higher!
It looks like a $55m-$57m weekend for @Superman and a 55% drop, very solid. @JurassicWorld with a 45% drop and @F1Movie with a super impressive 25% drop possible. An excellent @FantasticFour coming next week and 5 more good films right after. Box office is cooking into August.
As it stands today, @DisneyStudios @UniversalPics and now @warnerbros are rolling. @AmazonMGMStudio is coming in hot starting 2026. @ParamountPics about to enter the fight. @neonrated solid. @SonyPictures @Lionsgate and @A24 are all currently a mess.
I'm starting to think @SonyPictures re-signing Tom Rothman might have been a mistake. They need some new younger blood and a giant kick in the ass. They are barely trying unless it has "Spider-Man" in the name, and most of that is @MarvelStudios credit. Get your shit together.
Haha I knew it! The second I saw @Superman I could instantly tell @JamesGunn modeled Ma and Pa Kent after Richard Christy's @cwotd parents and that the burrito reference was about Taco Tico. Fantastic.
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s … Richard Christy’s parents?!
