Venom 2 hits $300m.
Bond hits $500m ww.
Dune will hit $200m ww sunday.
Dune makes $40.1m. With it on hbo max free next week's box office is expected to drop like the others did that are not called gvk. Plus it's got to go up against my hero 3 and eternals in the next two weeks. Both are theatres only films and aimed at the same crowd.
Ron did have something wrong hitting 5th place at a awful $7m. Unlike paw patrol with a small budget this one had a bigger budget so this hurts it. Funny thing is it is getting good reviews. Family films are not doing well but again addams 2 did well even with vod same day and even with the small box office paw patrol is still seen as a win by paramount and they are talking about another film. Scoob did well and scoob 2 is in the works so they can do well. Guess the ads just didn't get that many to see it. Encanto is up next month.
Also monster family 2 didn't even make to top 5 but are we really shocked about that one. Did they even have ads for that film on tv?

In a win for the arthouse market, Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch posted the top opening theater average of the pandemic era.
The Searchlight Pictures movie grossed $1.3 million from 52 cinemas in 14 U.S. markets, or $25,000 per location. The previous best three-day opening weekend average of the pandemic era belonged to Venom: Let There Be Carnage ($21,309) and, before that, Black Widow ($19,400).
Before the COVID-19 crisis, the opening performance of a specialty or indie film was judged by its location average since these titles started off in a small number of sites. An average of $75,000 or above was considered a big win, while anything north of $100,000 was reserved for an elite few.

Venom won't catch Shang-Chi, but will beat Black Widow.

Seeing trailers for THE ETERNALS and WEST SIDE STORY in the movie theatre, the name of the director for each appears in large font, but I never saw "Jack Kirby" for ETERNALS or "Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim" for WEST SIDE STORY. Their names may appear in the jumble of names at the end of each trailer--but they weren't featured.
To me that ETERNALS is a Jack Kirby concept and that WEST SIDE STORY has the songs and music of Bernstein and Sondheim IS the major thing. It's like a trailer for HAMLET that doesn't give William Shakespeare prominent display or a trailer for OKLAHOMA that doesn't feature the names of Rogers and Hammerstein.
Well japan box office for dune and rons gone wrong are out. Rom hit 9th place there! Ouch! Dune did alittle better but is 7th place. Dune is no match for the 30th pretty cure movie with 170m yen.

Also there a daughter of lupin the 3rd movie? Didn't know lupin had a daughter.
Daughter of Lupin I don't think has any connection to the Lupin III anime apart from the title and referring to the French character.

I don't disagree, but I would have the following thoughts:
1. Is Kirby well known to general audiences? (I guess you can make the argument it doesn't matter)
2. The inspiration to the movie seems to be the Gaiman Eternals, would it be false advertising to use Kirby's name but make the movie on a slightly different interpretation?
Guess wb was happy with dune. They just greenlighted dune 2.
Better late then never. This gets a theatre release at last.
