Wow, lots has happened since I've been away from here, but one thing remains the same:

Disney Rules.

 

That is all.

Glad to see you're back.

@cannastop how would you feel about this?

Live-action Zootopia is essential for Disney's Spring 2041 slate.

Which is?

 

The scene is ridiculous/bad/over the top on purpose, it shows Peter Parker acting like a fool without realizing it.

I'll put it this way. Venom fan's view Raimi's Venom origin the way Bane fans view Schumacher's Bane origin.

 

Raimi missed the mark just as much.

Quote

By Spider-Man 3 Peter Parker is less of a nerd than he was in the first film. He's grown up and gotten a better sense of himself. But deep inside Peter there will always be that dork, and when the alien symbiote takes him over, that's what begins to surface. It's a wonderful character concept: when Peter Parker gets cocky he doesn't get violent or gritty, he turns into a raging dweeb's version of a cool guy. Growing up a loner, Peter's vision of cool includes John Travolta's 70s dance moves and a vague idea of beatnik jazz action. To Peter, always an outcast and always unsure of himself, these archetypes represent the ultimate in self-confidence.

So what is the general expectation to BatB's Monday? $15 to $17 million?

If you want the deconstruction of the angry fanboy then TFA knocks it out the park with Kylo Ren.

 

Disco moves and mascara is Raimi chasing his own tail.

Does it matter at this point? It's a Disney fairytale movie that made $174m on opening weekend. Those are "Fuck You, Haterz!" numbers. $500m dom is guaranteed.

 

But I'd go with the upper limit there.

In Raimi's defense Venom was crowbarred in by Sony.

One of these days, Frozen or Zootopia is gonna get a live-action adaptation and there'll be crazy swarms of fans of those trying to defend it like it's their child.  The cycle will continue.

Wait, are people seriously anticipating a Zootopia live-action remake now?

the dancing scenes in SM3 are awful

 

 

I think there are some good moments in the movie though. Not quite as bad as some say

I mean, yeah lol. With $350m+ WW after just one weekend, it's pretty much already in the Black. There's really not much to argue there.

 

But I'm still interested to see how it performs overall. I find it kind of interesting that for over 8 yeaes, TDK was the only movie in that $500-599m range (movies either fell short of $500m or went all the way to $600m+) yet we might now get 2 of those in a span of just three months.

$500M is the new $400M

Actually, now that I look at some other comparisons like Te Hunger Games, I think $15m on Monday is more likely.
