Patreon Poll for the Weekend of March 15
Added 2024-03-15 16:45:00 +0000 UTCOh, my was this a long week, y'all! So stoked to finally be at Friday, for sure. Hey, so this weekend at the movies, we gotta stay prayed up, because Mark Wahlberg is back in theaters and this time he's bringing a canine companion with him!
That's right, this weekend sees the opening of Mark Wahlberg's feel-good dog movie, Arthur the King! The film is directed by Mark's Family Plan director, Simon Cellan Jones, and also stars one of my favorite Kens, Simu Liu! The film is out wide from Lionsgate and its pre-sales at the moment are decently strong. It is another family film to throw into the movie theater ecosystem and it has itself a sweet, sweet 90-minute run time!
Its projected range is somewhere between $10M-$15M as well, so with all that in mind, where do we see Arthur the King landing this week? Weigh in below and we'll see what shakes out on Monday's On-Screen Live!
Have a great movie-going weekend, gang! - Andrew

Feel like families are seeing Kung Fu Panda over this. That's what we did anyway.

2024-03-18 10:11:00 +0000 UTCWent to see Dune and the trailer for this movie came up. It reminds me of the Channing Tatum movie with a similar plot. I don't remember how much that movie made, but Tatum didn't have entourage bro🤣🤣

2024-03-18 03:38:14 +0000 UTCAnother "based on true events" Wahlberg film? Yikes🤦🏾♂️

2024-03-16 14:55:27 +0000 UTCDepends on Vatican's population. So, under $10M?
Eren Keskin
2024-03-16 10:55:25 +0000 UTCI think it will meet projections and the reason it won’t exceed is that the families who would normally see it are engaging in St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans

2024-03-16 00:07:29 +0000 UTCI....honestly don't care. I haven't heard anything about this film. I feel a little better about the planet that I haven't heard about it. Maybe not everything about the world is against me. But...Mark "Markie" Wahlberg...I just don't give even an iota of a $#!+. I still wanna see "Boogie Nights", but only because of it's rep. DESPITE him. I...really have nothing else to say. I'm just aggressively apathetic towards him. Could he just take one decade away from reminding me that he exists?

2024-03-15 23:56:29 +0000 UTCI think the families still seeing the panda and this will bomb

2024-03-15 21:31:17 +0000 UTCJust looked at the IMBD Tribune and Bear Grylls is in this movie as himself. Wow.

2024-03-15 19:24:59 +0000 UTCI don't have TV (all streaming), sonI have never seen a TV ad and I 5 full days at the theater last week doing an Oscar nom marathon and I never once saw a trailer for this. There was a poster at the theater, tucked into a cozy corner spot behind the customer service desk. So this screenshot now doubles my knowledge of this movie's existence. I feel that doesn't bode well.

2024-03-15 19:21:23 +0000 UTCPeople like dogs, c'mon bro! Dog + oddly still has a career Wahlberg=just limps over that $10m mark.

2024-03-15 19:12:42 +0000 UTCI think it’s extremely bizarre all the ads I keep getting for this are like “we got mark fresking wahlberg” and “don’t worry, the dog lives” like what??

2024-03-15 19:07:57 +0000 UTCMy dad (who was in the hospital recovering from surgery on his intestines) called me the other day to excitedly tell me they are opening a Whalburgers at the local casino. Truly exciting times we live in for New Englanders

2024-03-15 17:48:25 +0000 UTCI want it to under perform but unfortunately I feel like it will at worst meet expectations

2024-03-15 17:33:07 +0000 UTCI'm saying underperform because I feel like no one knows this exists. Even I've only seen the trailer maybe twice. Personally this weekend I'm DUNE my part to boost the best movie in theaters rn (and I'm taking my best gal pal Sativa with me)!

2024-03-15 17:27:15 +0000 UTCI’ll post a tweet (or X now I guess) with proof! 😂

Adam Forte-Dixon
2024-03-15 16:58:03 +0000 UTCMan I’ve seen this commercial a ton lately, I think they’ve been showing it during national basketball games. I’m going option 3, never underestimate family box office power

2024-03-15 16:56:12 +0000 UTCThis is a Hallmark movie right? (right?)
Matthew Mariner
2024-03-15 16:55:37 +0000 UTCHey bro, prayers up for this dog! Did you know a year for us is like 7 years to a dog? Crazy shit, bro.
Adam Weiner
2024-03-15 16:53:37 +0000 UTCThe only thing I know about this movie is that screenshot, and it makes me think Wahlburg is going to eat that dog.
Matt
2024-03-15 16:53:19 +0000 UTCI saw it as one of the AMC Screen Unseen events on Monday. A completely cromulent dog movie.
Jack Ninivaggi
2024-03-15 16:52:30 +0000 UTCThis is literally the first time I'm learning that this movie exists. I'm by no means the measurement for successful movies, but that's enough to make me guess it'll under-perform.
Busiris
2024-03-15 16:50:16 +0000 UTCIf this movie makes 15 million dollars its opening weekend I will personally download the Hallow app.
Lance Stein
2024-03-15 16:49:40 +0000 UTCI’ve learned the hard way not to underestimate movies that pander to Christian reactionaries or star celebrities who have made that their brand
Michelle Darer
2024-03-15 16:49:16 +0000 UTCHave to take the under seeing as the first time I heard about this movie was 30 seconds ago
