I agree gore Hunger Games would be cool

I think they should have delayed this. Maybe a summer release and heavy promotion and this could've opened big cause apparantly its good.

The Running Man redone today with a hunger games mentality would be awesome (it’s a shame twisted metal went DTV route. Then again you could just get another Death Race

I feel slightly better about a possible upside surprise on HG vs Marvels.

Marvels is facing larger fatigue issues that are harder on its own to overcome even if reviews and reception end up good.

The HG series has had a history of completely surpassing expectations out of the blue. If the reviews/reception end up being better than expected and if Marvels falls off a cliff there is an opening for HG to not do horrendously.

I heard 50 mil tracking which seems decent

This just got an interim agreement so cast can promote it.

I do think the buzz on this is really going to go up quickly. There's a big void with Marvels looking like a big mess.

I also agree that HG:TBOSASP has greater upside than Marvels. It should indeed fill a void. A shame they didn't move it forward to this weekend but the lift in the SAG restrictions should help (even if Zegler is unpopular at the moment).

Early Social Media reactions are extremely positive as expected. Reactions today and Reviews on Friday. This is how you do it. I honestly believe this is going to out open Marvels now.

With the cast being able to promote this I hope this can hit its potential. If everything goes right 65m+ opening could happen.

Like this trailer with the Rodrigo song, the story arc with her inevitable demise turning him full heel looks appealing to me.
