300k under Morbius. I think thats probably the best comp for MK2 opening weekend

11.8M True Friday
I’m guessing this ends up as a $40m – $41m OW

I loved it!!! Best MK movie out of the 4. The audience reacting to everything was awesome, I havent had as much fun at a movie since Endgame.

Well, it looks like Jat’s numbers from yesterday were way underestimated for this movie. The drama in this sub is always so reactionary, it still has a chance to make $40M or close to it.

It could still open with 40M+…, it‘ll be really close between this and The Devil Wears Wears Prada 2 for the number 1 position this weekend tho.
And with Michael eyeing a phenomenal ~35M domestic weekend, we‘ll have three films above 30M in a single weekend. Impressive.
What if all these films can co-exist with each other?

Just $1M short of doubling the $9M opening Friday of the 2021 movie
$40M+ OW seems likely

35-37M$ OW coming. It doesn’t look like it’s gonna do higher than that. DWP2 should be a bit higher/could reach 40M$.

Still see it under $40m.

I’m expecting $200 million+ WW for MK2, which could still be considered a success given that the first film only grossed $80 million.

when WB moved it to summer, this is not the kind of opening they had in mind for sure.

I still say it would have done better had it come out in October (original release date) with less competition. MY crowd throughly loved it. I really liked it (especially all the Kitana scenes), but its main problem is that it feels like 2 different movies fighting for screentime. When Kitana is onscreen it feels like an excellent serious fantasy film. When she’s not onscreen it feels like a cross between an 80’s action movie and a early 2000’s comic book movie.
When the WB execs made the decision to delay this by 7 months, they were in the middle of the bidding war for WB. Clearly they were too busy seeing dollar signs to think clearly.

If movies didn’t cost 30 dollars I’d go see it again. Theatres are so fucking greedy man

Why this movie changed its release date from last year is beyond me.
October last year would have been 100% a better time to release, rather than just after Michael and prada and then a few weeks before Star Wars.
Last October it would have I imagine been a solid take since it had not much competition at all.

This makes me feel better about July…
1. Minions & Monsters (PG) = Animation (July 01)
2. Moana (PG) = Live-Action Musical (July 10)
3. The Odyssey (R) = Epic-Fantasy (July 17)
4. Spider-Man Brand New Day (PG-13) = Marvel-Superhero (July 31)
