this movie feels like its being sent out to die, releasing on the same weekend as Ad Astra and Downton Abbey. Weird they didn't just wait a week, next week is just a kids movie and then of course Joker a week later.
at least at my AMC they are showing 7-8 screenings a day in big theaters, I'll be seeing all 3 movies just not sure in what order
wow Rambo Last Blood is only 90 minutes long, thats really tight
Rambo is expected to do $25m, other two somewhere between $15-20m. Two weeks is the golden period for US box office so everyone is avoiding Joker by that margin specifically, it would be horrible to cut that in half. Neither Stallone or Pitt are mega box office draws anyways, Stallone caps out around $100m while a good Pitt movie does $100m-200m for its run. It's very telling that both actors biggest gross are cameos in Guardians 2 and Deadpool 2 (respectively) by a large amount over their #1 in lead roles.
