Maybe expectations were inflated to start with. Disney recovered some following Smurf Smith backlack but damage was done. {nm} RollingThunder May 02, 11:07

looks like the average opening for Disney live action remakes is $73.8m Moviesnob May 02, 11:14

Everything above Dumbo averages over $100m OW, and I'd argue Aladdin is more popular than the 1940s flying elephant. RollingThunder May 02, 11:17

only three opened over $100 (Beauty, Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland) and you're right Aladdin is more popular than Dumbo {nm} Moviesnob May 02, 11:21

Would you agree anticipation for Aladdin was at least somewhat dampened after the first trailer? Probably more perception that quantifiable {nm} RollingThunder May 02, 11:24

I would agree with that, but as you say, I havent looked at any data to support that and the title just hit tracking Moviesnob May 02, 11:28

THR and V: [ALADN] Tracking for $80M-Plus Memorial Day Weekend; Some expect $100M Antibody May 02, 13:10

(4-day, to be clear) {nm} professor zovek May 02, 13:20

V: BBURN is expected to make $10M to $12M (3 days), BKSMR $10M (over the weekend), ASTRA likely to be moved {nm} tatoufan May 02, 13:35

DL: ASTRA pulled and may go to fall. Catzan May 02, 14:17

IW: James Gray is editing with Fall Festivals in mind. notfabio May 02, 15:23

my hot take: studios should go back to dropping their Endgame-level summer blockbusters on Memorial Day to kickstart summer movie season professor zovek May 02, 14:30

ah...I remember lining up for Matthew Broderick's Godzilla for the Friday of Memorial Weekend back in the day {nm} tealfan May 02, 15:15

That Memorial Day I saw Godzilla, bulworth, and fear and loathing in Las Vegas one right after the other islndr May 02, 16:44

Reason why it has fallen out of favor is the growth in overseas box office, positioning global rollouts takes priority. notfabio May 02, 16:14

Yeah. I didn't even have AL in my Top 7 for my Summer Pick 7. I don't see much overall strength in it {nm} VictorY May 02, 23:14
