Ah yes, the Cold War. What fun!

Nope.
For mine own, I am somewhat annoyed (too cynical to be outraged) that Nuland, Pyatt and the rest of this fucked up little cabal aren't sitting in prison cells awaiting trial right now, given how damning the evidence implicating them happens to be.

As for the other, the Predictive Index shows a spike in about 7-8 months, exactly how it'll manifest is a matter of some debate, but there's telling signs of a sociopolitical surge.

Donald Trumpis expected to be indicted on Wednesday but won't head to New York to appear before a judge next week, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Following the ex-president's likely formal charges, the Manhattan District Attorney's office will connect with the Secret Service detail to arrange Trump's surrender, an insider spilled. Upon his arrival, he will be arraigned, fingerprinted, and pose for his mug shot.

Not just Indy 5...

https://www.the-numbers.com/box-office-records/domestic/all-movies/bes
t-performance-by-day-of-the-week/tuesday


Sound of Freedom had the 55th all time Tuesday (by gross, not adjusted for inflation).

For 2023? It was only beat by The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the Miles Morales sequel.

Here's a list of movies by year back to 2020 with a Tuesday BO that came in above Sound of Freedom's Opening Tuesday, along with their production budgets.


2023:
The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($100 Million) [41st Place]
Miles Morales 2 ($100 Million) [48th Place]

2022:
Avatar: The Way of Water ($460 Million) [12th Place / 26th Place]
Minions: The Rise of Gru ($80 Million) [32nd Place]
Top Gun: Maverick ($170 Million) [39th Place]
Jurassic World: Dominion ($165 Million) [50th Place]

2021:
Spider-Man: No Way Home ($200 Million) [5th Place / 17th Place]

2020:
NONE (That's right. Not a single movie in 2020 had a higher Tuesday BO than Sound of Freedom)


Interestingly, 5 of the 8 flicks that had higher grossing Tuesdays than SoF were animated movies. 2 of the 3 that weren't animated were sequels to decades old movies, with the last one, being an IP that's been around most of us for at least half our lives now, using a (highly entertaining) gimmick that can't be used again.

Only 2 of the movies were superhero movies. They were both Spider-Man. And the one movie on this list that wasn't either animated or a sequel to a very old franchise (or both), No Way Home, was a nostalgia piece that cannot be successfully replicated. (See: The Box Office Failure of The Flash, co-starring Michael Keaton's Batman)

The cheapest movie on this list, Minions of Gru, had nearly 6 times the Production Budget, and a hell of a lot of advertising. The most expensive movie on the list, Avatar 2, had over 30 times the Production Budget and an insanely expensive marketing budget, including Super Bowl ads.




Now... Granted... This list isn't adjusted for inflation. However, it is still valuable because it shows the types of movies (ie: High Budget Blockbusters) which dominate, even on a Tuesday.

Because of the inflation factor, there are very few movies that predate 2013 on this list. That's why I find it pretty exceptional that Les Miserbles (2012) also made the list. But when you look at the Production Budget, it was $65 Million, which would be $86 Million today, slightly edging out the budget for Minions: Rise of Gru's $80 Million just last year.

The only two other movies on the list I wouldn't call your typical Blockbusters would be Sing and The Secret Life of Pets, both from 2016. But both of those movies had a $75 Million Production Budget, which would equate to a $95 Million budget in 2023. Django Unchained might possibly not fit your typical Blockbuster mold either, depending on who you're asking. But it did have a $100 Million budget in 2012, which would be $132 Million in 2023.


So with those exceptions out of the way, look at the rest of that list. It's all Sequels, Animated Features, Live-Action Remakes, Reboots, Comic Book Properties or a mixture of these categories. That's what people pay to see. Or at least... that is what people used to pay to see. 2023 hasn't been kind to that type of fare. The safe bets aren't safe anymore...

And that's a good thing.

Right again. Feels good.

Who'd have thought that Kung Fu Panda 4 would be in the Top 3 though?

Updated list as of 5/20/2024:

1 Dune: Part Two $710,609,896
2 Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire $561,000,000

19 Challengers $78,710,299
20 Desperate for Money at the End of the Road (???… $72,196,789


Kingdom of the Planet of the apes isn't going to come close to touching Kung Fu Panda 4. In fact, nothing in theaters today has a prayer of doing that.

The next movie that possibly could crack the Top 3?

THIS WEEKEND: Mad Max: Furiosa probably won't. Fury Road made $370 Million in 2015.

JUNE 5TH: The Bad Boys sequel won't... (I only bring this up because Bad Boys For Life was the 2020 Covid Year winner with $426.5 Million worldwide, but this one is not going to make $100 Million more in 2024 than that one did)

JUNE 14TH: Maybe Inside Out 2 will if people are feeling charitable to Disney after their long absence from theaters and there isn't any woke bullshit in it? (The original Inside Out made over $850 Million worldwide in 2015).

JUNE 28TH: A Quiet Place: Day One won't make the Top 3. The highest grossing aQP movie was the first one with $335 Million. The sequel made around $50 Million less than that. This is a prequel without the original cast and the movie poster looks like a BLM protest.

JULY 3RD: Despicable Me 4. The 3rd movie, released in 2017 saw this becoming a Billion Dollar Franchise. This one isn't going to come close to a Billion in 2024, but I have a good feeling about it at least pushing China one slot further down the 2024 Top 100 list.

JULY 12TH: Fly Me to the Moon won't. I don't expect a renaissance of Rom-Coms anytime soon.

JULY 19TH: Twisters. Well I've already predicted very early in the year that this movie won't make the $500 Million it needs to break even. I have no reason to change my mind on that.

JULY 26TH: Deadpool and Wolverine. This one will make the Top 3.


So yeah... from here to the first week of July I see only two possible movies that can make the Top 4/5. And they're both Animated Children's Movies. Despicable Me is the only one I am confident will do this, but Inside Out 2 could do it as well depending on parent's current attitudes toward Disney and their woke agenda. The best thing Disney has going for it is that it hasn't been in the news cycle hardly at all this year because it just hasn't released anything yet.

Huh...

2023 was the year of the Indie flick and Horror movies. Is 2024 going to be the year of kid's cartoons, with KFP4 already in the top 3 and two more of them being the only contenders to start summer off?

I also consider US made Kong/Godzilla crap films children's animation too.



ETA: I went back and edited the list through the end of July to put my prediction about Deadpool and Wolverine. So we've got 2 movies that are essentially a lock for the Top 3 and a third possibility by Disney up through August.

ETA2: I just realized now that a Garfield movie starring Chris Pratt and Samuel L. Jackson also releases this weekend. I don't think that one has a chance. Predictions say that it "should" be the highest grossing Garfield movie of all time, and the previous winner was just over $200 Million back in 2004. If the budget is low on that one it probably makes some money, but I don't think Kung Fu Panda or the top Chinese flicks have anything to really worry about here. It has already made $49 Million internationally before the US release, with over $8 Million in Mexico alone, but it's not a $500 Million movie.
