Public Service Reminder: TOP GUN: MAVERICK was the #1 movie last summer with $718M domestic ($1.49B worldwide)--over $300M ahead of the nearest competitor.

@ERCboxoffice Honestly, has there ever been a movie where even the wildest of pre-release projections would be so far off the actual numbers?

@WanderingNoma14 @ERCboxoffice Ghost 1990

@BasicInteger @ERCboxoffice Good call. That film was such a massive success. The Sixth Sense would be a good candidate as well.

@WanderingNoma14 @BasicInteger @ERCboxoffice I mean Paranormal Activity was made for $15k and wasn’t even in 1,000 theaters until it’s 5th week and made $194 million so I’d have to declare that the ultimate winner of exceeding expectations lol

@BrieNN365 @WanderingNoma14 @BasicInteger Or BLAIR WITCH PROJECT.

@ERCboxoffice @BrieNN365 @WanderingNoma14 How about the other direction? Lightyear has to be a more recent candidate. A Pixar movie in the greater Toy Story universe? It could have opened with what was its final domestic gross.

@BasicInteger @ERCboxoffice @WanderingNoma14 At least personally, I thought that movie was DOA the second it was announced. It was a confusing premise with a mystifying marketing campaign. For me it Shazam 2. I didn’t have high hopes but it honestly did worse than the deepest basement of my expectations.
