For more than a year it's been discussed if Doomsday will do well due to MCU fatigue, if Dune 3 should move in order to do more money, which movie will gross more, which one will be better and the result is that a lot of the discourse surrounding Dunesday is really toxic, with fans of both movies clashing and insulting each other, distracting themselves from the most important fact: Both movies will contribute to the theatrical expirience thriving.

2026 is probably gonna end up being the best year for movie theaters since the pandemic, as it's already is. We had some crazy BO runs this year and some generationals ones like BND, Odyssey, Obssession and Backrooms. Nontheless, at least for me, movies feel like a huge part of the culture again, and going to the movies as well. So, to end this year with a chef's kiss, we're gonna get two giant blockbusters on holiday season that will absolutely drive masses of people into theaters.

People are gonna remember this the same way they remember Endgame, Avatar, Barbenheimer... even Titanic. I`m going to my first midnight screening ever to watch doomsday, just an hour after my early screening for Dune 3, so I`m excited as much as one can be.

Isn't that all that we want and celebrate here? Movie theaters thriving and being culturally relevant? I feel 2026 is giving us that a lot, and Dunesday wil close this year in a really beautiful way and remind people even more that there is no fun like the movies

Clayface is doing really well at domestic box office (int I'm not sure). You can see everything had an increase which is rare but wom let that.

Since the audience reception is exceptional and Halloween weekend... can we expect a increase from previous weekend?

There are possibly but I don’t think it may happen. They haven’t put trailers for Sonic 4 or Godzilla x Kong Supernova yet. There’s 2 months will be packed of Skydance(WB/Paramount) films

March slate

March 19, 2027- Sonic the Hedgehog 4- likely stay

March 26, 2027-Godzilla x Kong Supernova(Legendary have the film and franchise rights of Monsterverse and WB distributed it outside of Japan and China)- May be moved or different distributor

Summer slate

June 25, 2027 Ocean Eleven Prequel- may be moved

July 9, 2027 Superman Man of Tomorrow- likely stay

July 23, 2027 A Minecraft Movie Squared- idk

July 30, 2027 A Quiet Place Part III- may be moved or stay, idk

It’s WB 2003 November/December film slate, or Disney/Fox Summer/Holiday film slate 2019 over again

Things are getting witchy! Get your tickets NOW for Disney's #Hexed​, in theaters November 25.

In “Disney’s Hexed,” an impulsive and unconventional teenage girl named Billie Doe (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld) discovers secret magical abilities which, once unleashed, hurtle her out of suburbia and into a spectacle-filled journey through a vast witch realm called Hexe. Forced to team up with her cautious mother, Alice (voiced by Rashida Jones), they uncover family mysteries that could change the world of witches forever.

Walton Goggins voices Beef Roger Crummchuk, a reclusive, magical three-eyed cat who forges an uneasy alliance with Billie and Alice. Two-time Academy Award® winner Jodie Foster voices Queen Celeste, a sinister figure who will stop at nothing to maintain her power in perpetuity over Hexe.

Impressive second weekend 25% increase. Through two weekends the 3hr doc has a total $45.1M. Now on its first Monday after expanding wider it made $2.1M. Let’s compare this to its first Monday when it was in limited release and made $2.6M. It is now in wide release at 2600 theaters which is about 3x larger than its release last week. Then its sophomore weekends increase was 25% but its Monday over Monday drop about -24%. What do you think this means in terms of how much this can make in its third weekend? I don’t think it will take too much of a drop. It is also Halloween weekend, but if I’m being honest, I truly don’t know whether that helps or hurts a movies box office. Yes studios don’t necessarily like to release on this weekend, but how does that affect holdover weekends for movies that are already out. Basically You Can See Everything will not have to compete against new releases either on its third weekend. Is it crazy to predict that it can make almost as much as its first weekend this week or do we start seeing normal week to week drops for this going forward? Is Halloween weekend to you treated like any other weekend, do you never go to the theaters or do you always watch a scary movie? This holiday does not get the same “holiday weekend” talk when it comes to the box office performance for movies. This makes it hard to predict how the weekend will play out. What is the potential for this to end up first place in the box office? I already made that mistake when I predicted it to beat Clayface’s OW. Well, I might just make the same mistake again.

I made a box office prediction game. What do you think will be the top 5 box office this weekend? This is actually a lot harder than you may even think. With that said, out of the 40+ predictions, last weekends top predictor was 82.7% accurate. Place a prediction below for this upcoming box office weekend.

This movie looks funny. I’m gonna give it a shot of seeing it. I bought my ticket for it. It’s releasing in November 13. But it sucks it was delayed. is Amazon trying to kill the marketing? I hope Amazon gets another success since Project Hail Mary, The Sheep Detectives (which Amazon confirmed it), Verity, and I think I Play Rocky will be a hit too. we had few bombs Mercy, Crime 101, and MOTU. I predict it will make Bullet Train numbers but less and it won’t beat it. I say $108M-$110M WW. it depends on the budget. it might have a mid budget like $30M-$40M I’m guessing. So what you think how much will this make worldwide?

I organized an AMA/Q&A with James McTeigue, director of V for Vendetta, starring Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving, Stephen Fry, John Hurt, and Stephen Rea. It's being re-released in theaters next week for its 20th anniversary.

The AMA post is live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back at 3 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Re-release trailer:

Synopsis: In a world in which Great Britain has become a fascist state, a masked vigilante known only as “V” conducts guerrilla warfare against the oppressive British government. When V rescues a young woman from the secret police, he finds in her an ally with whom he can continue his fight to free the people of Britain.

I do my predictions for many movies and I have been quite surprised by how some them were hits or huge hits when I thought they would do well but no so much or that they would just flop. Recenlty, I can think of a few (not gonna include obssession)

.Project Hail Mary - Don't know why, but I didn't have this one grossing almost 700M and being a mark on this year's culture, so I was happily surprised with it

Top Gun Maverick: I know the power of legacy sequel + Tom Cruise + a generational movie, but 1.5B? The records it broke? That was amazing

Avatar Way Of Water: Thought it would do billion but to become the 3rd highest grossing movie ever was not on my wild card, didn't know people were gonna turn out for this

The Conjuring 4: That was a fair bet for a hit but not on the gigantic level it was, I underestimated the power the franchise had

Minecraft: Almost 1B? Really? Internet memes really helped this
