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
3 Kung Fu Panda 4 $535,196,408

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..

Feel bad for people like that. If he's not still wearing a face mask when he leaves his house today, he probably still was at the beginning of 2024 anyhow.
Maybe he'll stop listening to everything the Media says. They lie chronically about everything.
The Media knew full well it was a Trump blowout on Tuesday.
And we saw how CNN and MSNBC held out until after 5AM to admit that Trump won the race when it was fully clear to everyone that Trump won sometime during the 1AM hour when it was announced by the NYT that Trump won Maine District 2 and Alaska hadn't been counted yet. At that point Pennsylvania was almost finished counting and was listed as "Very Likely Trump".
Very shortly after, Pennsylvania was called for Trump and he was down only by the 3 points he was going to get in Alaska and they just wouldn't call it for Trump. This nonsense went on for HOURS. I joked and said I was going to get a great laugh if they had to admit that Trump won because he flipped Wisconsin before they admit he won Alaska and that was EXACTLY what happened. Even the NYT didn't admit the Trump win until Wisconsin flipped.
I documented all of that in the Election thread as it was playing out. You can see the exact moment that Trump actually won.
This poor guy probably was up until 5 AM thinking she still had a chance.

Donald Trump’s approach to US space policy could throw up some surprises, especially with Elon Musk on board

Efficiency drive
Vice-president-elect J.D. Vance will chair the National Space Council, which develops policy on civil, commercial, international and national security. Many of the first Trump administration’s space policy successes can be traced to the council. Given the influence Musk seems likely to have in the new administration, the National Space Council could be seen as duplicating or being in conflict with the objectives of SpaceX’s founder.
Musk will co-lead the department of government efficiency, which will “dismantle government bureaucracy” and “slash excess regulations”, among other things. So could the council become a casualty of these drives? If it survives, its future potential depends on who is named as the executive secretary, a position that has significant power.

almost at the end of Year for Hollywood and Global Cinema
So can Hollywood take the Top10 or will YOLO, Successor, Pegasus 2 stay...still not sure where to place Venom-3 seen as the Japanese Sony studio bought the Spider-Man brand.
There is a small possibility another indie film from Europe or Japan or Skorea or China can push into the Top10 before End of Year but I think its very unlikely
'YOLO' is the one to beat from the trailer it looks like a female boxing comedy drama
the Chinese picture characters translate as 'A Hot', 'Spicy', 'Boiling', 'Burning Life'

Nah. Pegasus 2 was done the second that Moana 2 dropped. I just checked right now and Moana 2 is only $1 Million behind it.
YOLO and Successor will be 8th and 9th place after Moana 2 kicks the other two down.
Looking at Wicked, I was probably wrong on that one. The $9 Million it made on Friday was a hard crash from the last Friday, but it does mean that it will probably make at least as much all weekend combined as it did last Friday.
That's a bad fall. -70% and that doesn't include a Preview Thursday, so a straight -70% drop is HUGELY terrible.
But it will still be at least another $20 Million in the states after the weekend is over. That will put it in 13th place for the year, with somewhere in the area of $410-$415 Million worldwide.
I'm fairly confident at this point that Wicked would have enough gas left in the tank to beat both remaining Chinese movies, as it would only need roughly $50 Million more to get there. If this were the end of summer and the kids went back to school, it probably wouldn't make it, but I expect this to be shown in theaters at least until after New Years and Christmas Break could give it the last few bumps it needed to do it. Especially if we're not putting out anything else all year that has a chance of knocking the Chinese movies completely out of the top 10.
And though I haven't heard anybody specifically say it, I assume that this is the type of movie that the real fans of go back to see every weekend. I'm sure the repeat viewings on this one are much higher than your average non-Marvel film, or any film post End Game.
And even if Wicked does beat both Chinese movies, they'd better hope that they can gross at least $400 Million in the sequel plus inflation, because they need $875 Million at least to break even on both of them. And I've also heard my assumptions were right and the marketing budget for Wicked was insane, so all told they probably need to make a solid Billion on this for anybody to walk away thinking this wasn't a waste of time and money.
And at this point, I have to admit that failure on Wicked 2 is what I'm rooting for. Nothing against the movie, but my predictions about movies and the real world have been pretty damn spot on all year long.
I don't believe I ever stated anywhere that I thought Wicked would never cross $400 Million, but I would be lying to you if I said I thought it had a chance, especially after it was clear there was no international interest for it. The only way I redeem myself on this one now is if the 2nd movie is a failure and/or whenever the real numbers finally come out we find out that the 2 movies combined cost a lot more than $350 Million to make.
But I hate leaving things open like that and have no real desire to have any outstanding tick tock threads of my own, so maybe I'll just take the loss on Wicked for now and maybe in a year or two when the sequel comes out it falls on its face and I get a good laugh out of it.

you need to go back post 911 year 2003 when figures were this bad, but it might be even worse today with issues looming... and at that time no indie movies, gaming, Chinese film, Euro film SKorea shows, Jpan toons were ready to punch the Hollywood glass jaw? also the comicbook cash cow from DC Marvel might have gone the way of the Western as its popularity ends.

Thanks.
But boy... I got Wicked wrong at the end here.
I guess despite the surface level stuff it wasn't a bad movie if you're a woman or a gay guy. There are a lot of women in the country.
I guess anybody who goes back home and watches The Wizard of Oz after watching Wicked has to now ask themselves why the wicked witch decided to have race-affirming "care". Although Oz is a magical land, so if a black woman in Oz decided she wanted to be a white woman she probably just had to click her heels together or something.
Wicked is going to leapfrog all the Chinese moves and be above YOLO soon sometime this weekend.
Hollywood has 3 more weekends in 2024 to release a movie. Does it have two more that can make $480 Million and push the Chinese off the Top 10 list? YOLO will be sitting at 9th between Venom 3 and Wicked.

This is a prediction about how loud and organized the Left has been over the last 8 years and how silent they're going to be these next 4 years.
Nearly any one of their "movements" that we've seen on TV or read about have been fabrications. They've been funded by our government through the NGOs and sometimes just right out in the open the last several years, like when AOC was raising cash from self-hating college "educated" idiots to bail out criminals.
Here's the thing though...
It seems like such a "no duh" thing to say now with 20/20 hindsight, but the vast majority of people are far too lazy and selfish to keep any of that up like they've done if there's not a huge amount of cash backing it the entire time.
And all that cash is gone now.
Harris spent the final $1.4 Billion of it.
Where is everyone?
Why aren't we seeing protests lasting weeks if not months like we did before? We hardly got a few days in California and New York before they all figured out nobody gives a shit anymore. We didn't even get the gift of watching another hilarious women's march this time around.
There is no money behind any of this now. There will be no protests in the street.
The only way that people behave the way that people on the Left have behaved over the last 8 years is if their backs are to the wall, or they're being paid to do it.
And with all the fucking rhetoric out of you people about how Trump was going to be the end of Democracy, you're sure being pretty fucking silent about it right now, aren't you?
You picked right now, at this specific moment, to stop protesting every fucking day?
Nah bitches... You're just not getting paid to do it anymore.
It's over.
The party is over.
The Democratic Party is over.

--------------------------------------------------
"I don't find this stuff amusing anymore." ~Paul Simon
Quiet night around here. So I did look it up since Bruce didn't have it.
Variety said that it was $45 Million and that they expect it to make a profit due to the "modest" budget. To be fair to them, sadly, $45 Million does appear to be pretty modest in 2025, considering we've had 2 horror movies this year that were $50 Million and $90 Million already.
Worldwide Gross is just a few bucks over $46 Million, so unless anything crazy happens like a complete loss of interest by Weekend 2, I concur with their statement.
Unless marketing for this was a low-budget affair, which I honestly wouldn't know because we're 5 months into 2025 and I have yet to see a single commercial, it's probably not going to make all that much in the end, but it shouldn't lose any money for Sony or Columbia Pictures.
As time passes and I don't obsess over these movies any longer, I couldn't say with absolute certainty now, but I can't think of a single example where a movie didn't make money as long as it recouped at least 100% of the production budget worldwide after the first weekend. This one passed that test, even if just by only $1 Million.
It needs $112.5 Million to break even at RoT2.5x. If it doesn't buck the usual trend, it should be sitting somewhere just under $100 Million by the end of next weekend, and it will be making money, likely during or right before the start of Weekend 3. But by weekend 4 we're already looking at Domestic number of maybe $2 or $3 Million tops.
But hey... $30-$40 Million in profit off of a $45 Million investment ain't half bad. If I had a money printing machine where I could nearly double my money, I'd be using it every chance I had.
This is actually a real good example of what the studios need to get back to.
Make 8 of these movies instead of 1 Mission Impossible movie. Not only aren't you wasting all your budget on some high-priced prima-donna that most American's can't stand to look at anymore*, but you'd be putting 8 times as many actual working people to work and/or keeping those people 8 times as gainfully employed than if they were only making the one movie.
Your bonus is if you lose on one or two of them, you aren't betting the farm on them and you can always luck into one or two of those eight movies being a mega-hit that brings in a ton of cash.

Karate Kid took a pretty big 2nd weekend dip there. I figured it would have around $85-$90 Million, but it ended the weekend with only $74.
This one probably still hits breakeven at $125 Million, but that's a bit bigger a hill it still has to climb now before it gets there.
Gotta bring those budgets down. A karate kid movie in 2025 should not cost more than $25 Million, tops.

All on a $20 Million budget, which was less than 1/11th of what Superman cost.

I would like to take this opportunity to state that I was not one of them. Last Tuesday's election results went almost exactly as I assumed they would go.
The only exception is the Second wannabe that got elected after saying he wanted to kill his oppositions kids.
I didn't think that Democrats were that hateful and crazy.
I underestimated how despicable you are. You all deserve each other.

This proves nothing. This just proves that somebody else made some claims that a video they saw of an event was AI, and I have no fucking idea what video you're even talking about. Show me the video I posted here promoting an AI vid as real life.

The Empire is almost bankrupt?
but You constantly link to something Trump did or said every month on this firefly community since 2016
Trump himself was reposting that AI fake journalism crap
I repeat TRUMP HIMSELF was posting links to fake AI journalism nonsense and it is Trump who YOU repeatedly link to and follow almost like a Maga Qanon fanatic
Go to Trump's 'From the Desk' of twitter or truth social and you should still see some of that crap as a sticky Trump claiming almost all of Venezuela is doing YMCA dances wanting more bombs on Maduro and bombs on the government
it will be the same crap with Iran...but when questions are asked Trump will deny and say all is rosy and fine. Then when fanatics of Trump are proven wrong the ones with a short temper narcissistic drinker stoner 'architecture' will claim they are always 'right' and correct even when proven wrong because an Architects personality is almost always going to insist one being right, and especially blind when it comes to the added stupidity of politics.

The same video has been reposted by right-wing influencer and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on X, who alleged to his audience of 4.4 million followers it was to celebrate “the ouster of Communist dictator Nicolas Maduro”. It has been viewed 2.2 million times.

Yup. He's going to endorse Cornin.
He's also likely going to replace Supreme Court Justice Alito or Thomas with Ted Cruz. I'm sure you're going to scream a ton about that when it happens.

Then he's going to tell Cornin to keep his spot, and give Ted Cruz's vacancy to Ken Paxton.

Democrats will rue the day that James Talarico beat Jasmine Crockett in the primary.
Holy shit...
I thought Jasmine Crockett was a terrible candidate. Talarico might just be the worst Democratic Party candidate on any level that there ever was.
Not only is he going to be destroyed in the general election...
Not only is he going to bring down the rest of the party with him on election day...
But he's also going to ruin the careers and silence any person in Hollywood or the Legacy Media who endorsed him or had anything nice to say about him at all once America sees who he really is.
RIP Ezra Klein's career. Hope wifey can get a big promotion to cover your losses because we all know you've been bitching and whining that you both can hardly subsist on your dual-income salary and you're going to be pushing carts at Costco by 2027 if they'll even have you.
