Just the normal, trying to call Disney movies flops based on incorrect calculations.What fresh analysis misdirects are we dealing with now? The movie has literally been out two weekends… and it has already broken even.
Yes…. Your average Labor Day weekend at The theater…. Labor Day is typically one of the worst weekends of the year at the box office…Studios don’t usually even attempt to compete
It’s a funny talking point because it’s not that bad. As studios like Disney have released on Labor Day weekend before and done well. For example Shang Chi was released Labor Day and did well just a few years ago.
I actually agree… I think movies can open any time of year and be successful…my main point was the Studios don’t usually have enough faith to compete… hence Kraven backing away… I really Think Kraven should of stayed on that date as there will be less competition then over the holidays
I'm pretty sure Sony is kicking themselves right now for moving Kraven.

‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Crossing $600M In $3.6 Billion Summer; Disney Dominates With $1.5 Billion – Labor Day Box Office
Summer box office is winding down with $3.6 billion as 'Deadpool & Wolverine' are expected to win the Labor Day weekend and hit $600M.
Sunday morning write-through includes a nice domestic post mortem of the studio majors. Disney/20th century the undisputed comeback king this year.
I agree with others on the trailer…it was not what I was expecting…. If there is an awards play I suspect it will be a best actress nod for Amy Adams… who I will always root for as she is one of my all time favorites actresses
Nostalgia is a huge draw. While I wouldn't say it held up when compared to the first one, it did work overall.
This one is kind of a strange release. It reminds me of haunted mansion. Why not release it for Halloween? Like haunted mansion, I think it does better as a last week of September or first week of October. I don't think it's all that strong of a fall line up. Transformers one, wild robot, venom, joker. Wild robots is the end of September and Joker is that first weekend in October. Release it the 4th as kids aren't going to see Joker. I don't know, it just screams Halloween release in my opinion.
Well not all horror or spooky movies need to be released around Halloween. But yes I agree it should have been released in October, not to give anything away, as the movie is specifically about Halloween as well.
Agreed, it's just a strange strategy. Especially since signs seem to point to a better box office run drives better streaming interest.
While if It was me I would have released it closer to Halloween…I don’t believe it’s as strange of a release as Haunted Mansion… that was released last week of July…. I feel once your past Labor Day… it is officially Halloween season…and it worked well for IT
