Bong Joon Ho’s Movie to Face Off Against Novocaine

Ah, Hollywood! Where the drama isn’t just on screen but also in the box office battles! Here’s your girl Hrishita spilling the beans on this weekend’s cinematic catfight. 🎬đŸ€Ș

Novocaine—not just your dentist’s best friend, but also the name of Jack Quaid’s latest flick, is all set to tickle the box office funny bone with an expected haul of $10 to $12 million. Not bad for a movie about a man who can’t feel pain! Oh, Jack, if only you could numb the critics too. 😏 With its $18 million price tag, this action comedy from Paramount is hoping to leave last week’s champ, Mickey 17, feeling a bit sore. Poor Mickey is predicted to tumble like a B-grade Bollywood stuntman, with a 55% to 60% drop in ticket sales. Ouch!

Speaking of Mickey 17, Bong Joon Ho and Robert Pattinson have cooked up a dystopian sci-fi comedy (because why not?) that’s already pocketed $20.5 million domestically. But hold your applause; with a $118 million budget, they need a lot more popcorn sales to break even. Good luck, Mickey! 🍿

On the newbie front, Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag and Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich’s Opus are entering the fray. Black Bag is hoping for a $7 to $8 million start, featuring Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender in a tale of espionage and marital distrust. Who knew spy games could be cheaper than a couple’s therapy session? đŸ•”ïžâ€â™€ïžđŸ•”ïžâ€â™‚ïž Meanwhile, Opus, with its $2 to $4 million expectations, might just be the artsy kid in the corner at the box office party.

Oh, and let’s not forget Disney’s Captain America: Brave New World! Despite its superhero landing, it’s barely scraping by with $5 million this weekend. Having spent $180 million, I suppose the real superpower is making that money disappear! đŸŠžâ€â™‚ïžđŸ’ž

But, my dear Hollywood, fret not. Marvel’s got more tricks up its sleeve with Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four: First Steps coming in 2025. Will they fly or flop? Stay tuned!

Now, here’s a hot take for you: Moral of the Story: In Hollywood, it’s not about feeling the pain, it’s about who can numb it with a blockbuster! Keep your wallets open, and your expectations low, folks. đŸŽ„đŸ’”
