I get it, it's a Peele movie, that's his shtick and his Get Out proved that it worked at the box office, so he would would not mess with his success, but it was odd that it was less overt than it had been before.

A general rule of thumb is, if the headline ends in a question mark, the answer is usually No.

A question mark + exclamation mark in headline also = clickbait bullshit

Anywhere from $10.9 million to the above; say $11.5 million this weekend (domestic)?
Titanic is slowly sinking; will it end up @ the bottom of the ocean, or end down there?
The answer is it depends. ...Time frame (per second).

Stay safe, have a fantastic weekend.

At a certain point it's just a number in the grand scheme.

He was asked what he thought of Tom and he answered, not maliciously, that he's not a fan of his work and that Tom has no relevance in his life. He wasn't saying that Tom was irrelevant PERIOD, obviously that's not the case. Much like Cardi B has no relevance in my life, she's not in my algorithm, radio, tv, stereo, etc... but that's not me saying that she's irrelevant. I just don't like her music. Know what I mean?

Never underestimate the need for admiration with actors. This is a guy who was regarded as hot stuff decades ago.
To say a fellow actor, with a fantastic career is irrelevant to him just comes across as sad and mean spirited.

Like I said, jealousy.

Your obsession with this despite not caring for the film is bizarre.

Anyone would think he’s laying the foundations for a “this film underperformed really” narrative.

Just classic trolling.

C'mon Paramount, schedule that relaunch already. Sony staked out a date for Spidey's return... now the ball is in your court.

They have to get Mr. Cruise's permission first.

Anyway with the way it's doing (only 23% dropoff this wknd) there is no reason to talk about a relaunch cause the original launch is still going strong.

Is there a deleted Tom Skerritt cameo ? I know he once hinted at returning & there was talk of him being around when they shot Ice Mans funeral

Paramount Pictures: "Sorry folks, we just got them numbers back. We actually lost money on this one. Nobody's gettin' any on the backend deals."

Nah. That’s Sony’s MO, just asked Ed Solomon:

They'll never be #1 because they keep deleting their posts.

That just seems plane wrong.

I put some colored dots below, for both domestic and worldwide.
• Maverick is in black.
• The flicks in green (turquoise) are in the bag, 100% ... Maverick will surpass.
• The flicks in dark yellow (quasi orange) are the possibility of being surpassed by Maverick; 60-70% chance. It's the comfort zone Maverick is aiming @ Mach 10 speed (12,348 km/hour).

Top Gun Maverick's Darkstar - HOW TO REACH MACH 10 - Microsoft Flight Simulator - YouTube

• The flicks in red are in the dead zone; where Maverick needs a lot of vitamins and supersonic fuel to surpass ... unobtainable to normal humans.

What do you think?

So when do you think Paramount will announce it is coming back to the premium auditoriums?

Sony has a talent to do business in peculiar ways. Nothing's new here in that department.
Back to Paramount Pictures avec Maverick ... the top leader of top guns this year.
