  1. Will finish with under $700m. GxK will put a dent in its worldwide gross.
  2. Great for Dune and KFP4. I never believed in Dune 2 hitting $300m, not even with a $50m second weekend (well, that would have made things more believable). A $46.5m second weekend is amazing, and the fact that it's going to go well over $200m is a lot higher than what many predicted until the past two weeks. A total over $250m for a near 3-hour, dark sci-fi film is a massive win by any reasonable standard. I'm still seeing $275m-$285m. Its third weekend will be critical in determining where it will land. A $700m WW finish is very likely happening, and that is fantastic. And I really hope KFP4 hits $200m, too! It's an underrated franchise.
  3. Loved this film. Performances are strong across the board, especially from Chalamet and Ferguson. The visuals are gorgeous and when the film soars, it really fucking soars. The themes of power, religious fanatacism, and deceit are so well done. My criticism for this film (though a bit better from the first) is that it can get a bit too long in a few scenes. Also...the Bene Gesserit are the most captivating presence in the film. They are so mysterious. Bring on The Holy Wars.
  4. Messiah will happen, as Part 2 will be a big enough hit to justify it. Will Messiah just be one film, though? I heard
  5. WB did not expect this to do a billion - not even close. If you believe that, you might as well believe in the tooth fairy.
  6. GotG3 is my favorite of the trilogy. The animals killed me. GotG3 > GotG2 > GotG1
  7. I'm so confused. They actually used time travel in an end credits scene to bring back the hero's girlfriend? What?
  8. Looks fine, and this will be huge. But didn't his girlfriend die in the second?
  9. This was ludicrously stupid in so many parts, and the pace was excessive, but it was fun. Check your brain out the door and you'll end up enjoying yourself.
  10. Robbie being snubbed was a surprise. Did not expect that, especially America Ferrera's nomination. I love Emily Blunt, but there were many better performances deserving of that nomination.
  11. How much did Mean Girls do? I don't understand why BOM doesn't have its numbers posted. God, how that site has gone to the sewers.
  12. OW for WW2 in a world without Covid would have had an OW of $150m+. An easy $330m+ grosser at the absolute minimum.
  13. Are we talking about Watchmen from HBO? Are we really going to compare some bland ass Marvel shows to it? You guys are crazy.
  14. Can someone PM me what the post credits scene was? If rumours are to be believed, Mera had two huge scenes cut from the film (one of them being a big confrontation with Black Manta).
  15. Congratulations to The Hunger Games for hitting $300m WW. One of my favorite runs of the year - its legs have been super impressive. The fact that it can finish around $340m WW is great after opening to exactly $100m WW.
  16. I keep saying that if MJ had been split into one film, it would have been a $450m-$475m grosser and probably hit a billion worldwide. Even without the aspect of the games, you could have easily made the traps seem like some sort of games, but more importantly, everyone would have wanted to see how the series would end. It also would have ended up becoming the only trilogy (without 3D, too) to keep increasing on their $400m predecessors. Shame. I really like MJ2, but a single film in the range of 2 hours 45 mins would have sufficed.
  17. I'm leaning more towards positive, and while the film's themes may stand out for a good portion, it does have a tendency to collapse under its own weight. Some of the imagery is stunningly beautiful - there are shots that completely blew me away. It's very interesting, and I am interested in revisiting it. I hope this is not his final film.
