Tolstoy will live forever. Some people do. But that's not enough. It's not the length of a life that matters, just the depth of it. The chances we take. The paths we choose. How we go on when our hearts break. Hearts always break and so we bend with our hearts. And we sway. But in the end what matters is that we loved... and lived.
Maybe I dont know. In retrospect always trying to appeal to them may have hurt in the long run. Because depending on the day they can always find out another reason they dont want to show any particular movie. You could in theory try and bend over backwards and make something that they will approve of and they can change their mind at the last second. Its not worth it. And I think Hollywood is finding that out.
Bond looks like may make $60m. This would make it the third best bond opening.
Saturday AM: Refresh for chart and more analysis The wait is over as the 25th Bond finally hit U.S. movie screens yesterday grossing $23.3M, including $6.3M previews, on its way to a weekend of $60M at 4,407 theaters. This is where tracking spotted Daniel Craig’s swan song as 007, and as we continually wrote, if Bond was going to overperform, it would mean that an overabundance of older moviegoers (45+) came out. Bond inherently is a property that skews older, and not younger like the Marvel properties. CNBC brazenly, and incorrectly, declared that No Time to Die was poised to make $100M at the domestic B.O., and that number was never in any rival studio or MGM/United Artist Releasing’s calculations. Even though advance ticket sales were outpacing Venom: Let There Be Carnage, in the pandemic era all box office forecasting has been thrown off course. That in addition to the fact that in general pandemic moviegoers make their decisions to go to the theater largely the day, not in advance. The multiple release date changes on Bond and the publicity of the film being Craig’s last in the tuxedo certainly hyped up box office expectations, but understand that this was always IP intended for older moviegoers. Rival distribution brass aren’t throwing any shade on No Time to Die‘s opening, even though it’s the third best currently behind Skyfall ($88.3M) and Spectre ($70.4M); in fact they’re thrilled.

Also addams 2 doing well in theatres even with it vod. Guess families like the addams family.
Many Saints of Newark is a big bomb. HBO max same day has another fail at the box office.
https://variety.com/2021/film/box-of...ig-1235085585/“The Many Saints of Newark,” a prequel to “The Sopranos,” rounded out the top five with a paltry $1.4 million in its sophomore outing. That puts ticket sales for the Warner Bros. movie, which premiered day-and-date on HBO Max, at a dismal $7.4 million. It cost $50 million to make.

One interesting thing is Venom 2 isn't doing anything overseas. I dont know why that is, or if it hasn't been released in most markets yet. But its doing very well in North America and crap in the rest of the world.
Venom 2 is only playing in 13 international markets as of now. It will be released in Europe and Asia later this month, so of course the international cume is comparably low.

56M for Bond, sigh as it is below the expected numbers of 60m.
However it is still within the Bond pattern. Bond was never going to make as big as Venom or other mega home base USA franchise like MCU films such as Shang CHI or even Black Widow on opening weekend.
Bond in comparison with Venom/MCU films sort off reminds me of the so called YA era, when Hunger Games used to do better than the Harry Potter movies at the USA box office, this was not because Hunger games was a bigger or more influential franchise, It was because Hunger Games was a USA based franchise and harry potter was totally and unapologetic British even to the point, JK Rowling said, she wanted only British and Irish actors in the harry potter roles.
Bond is a very influential 50+ years franchise, However it still been a British series does have its pros and cons in the domestic USA market as Harry Potter movies did.
