Hello everyone and welcome to Slash Home Daily for Monday, July 18, 2022 on today's

episode. We're going to discuss the latest film and TV news. This is Slash film

editorial director Peter Sorata and joining me

to his podcast the slash film news writer

and box office analyst Ryan Scott.

Hey everyone, happy Monday, how's it going?

It's going good.

I had a lovely weekend working editing.

It didn't really get to go outside or have any fun.

A lot of people went to the movies this weekend, and Ryan, you have this right up on the site going through this weekend's box office. You know every Monday, we like to talk about it here. Who was there a big

winner this weekend? I would argue that there were a lot of winners this

weekend. Now there was of course the

winner which was Thor Love and Thunder which and its second weekend made 46

million dollars more than enough to top the box office but it dropped 68.1% from

its 144 million dollar opening last weekend and this is kind of becoming a trend with the MCU we're seeing in phase four theatrically.

So, you know, I mean, this is still a couple of million shy from 500 million worldwide, by no means a loser for Marvel or Disney, but these drops are becoming

more frequent and sizable, like approaching 70% on its second weekend which is huge.

Yeah, you called this a near record drop in your write up.

I'm wondering do you think this is a I don't know I again I hesitate to label these things as like single issue problems.

Ragnor rocked it in terms of good word of mouth and stuff.
