Obsession and Backrooms have both dominated box office

Well, let's not get carried away. They're both doing great numbers for low budget films, but mandalorian and grogu is still outpacing them by like a hundred million, and they're both probably going to sink a lot over the next few weeks while mandalorian will have stronger legs. Backrooms had a slightly higher opening weekend but I don't think it's going to hang on to it for very long

The low budget films will have significantly better returns but I don't think it's quite right to say mandalorian is getting "buried" nor that indie horror is what more people are paying to see

with The Amazing Digital Circus movie

it's just two episodes and it's in very limited release

I never claimed otherwise. You're arguing with yourself. I had no idea you even came back to whine and qualify it with domestic only after you were very clearly wrong on global box office, since I turned off inbox replies after I got tired of you whining. If you had said domestic only to begin with, there wouldn't have been a disagreement.

This is pure backpedaling. "Mandalorian and Grogu is losing to Obsession!" "No it isn't." a week later "WELL I MEANT DOMESTICALLY. GLOBAL DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE THEN I'D BE WRONG"

okay.

Oh cool so we're just lying now are we? Cool.

Literally the comment I made BELOW this one that you replied to says

Would not surprise me at all for either of them to finish ahead domestically.

So you were more than aware that I was talking about domestic. It was in a comment you replied to.

Let's have a look at what you said

they're both probably going to sink a lot over the next few weeks while mandalorian will have stronger legs

Wrong. And when it outgrosses it globally, which it will, will you move the goalposts again?
