Ghostbusters is probably the best studio movie this summer outside of Popstar, honestly. An excellent reboot/reinvention. I still think it will have great legs. It performed more like a family film this weekend.

I will bet you two months of gold account Ghostbusters does at least 125 million.

Yea. Honestly, this movie reminded me of TFA alot (I didn't like it as much as TFA, but I did like it). It tried wayyyy too hard to be too much like the original, but it was so fun and well-cast that it hardly mattered. Certainly in the upper tier of movies this summer. This movie mainly seems to be breaking out with families and older women, so I just really don't see much of a rush factor beyond the first night. I think it'll hit a 3x for sure.

Man, Ghostbusters was pretty good. Crowd ate it up. Crowd was also mostly either families with kids or young professionals, so I honestly think this could leg its way over 150, tbh. Amazing reception at the end for this. Small sample size, obviously, but this is performing already like something not super frontloaded. I think it will hit 150.

Look at the source you're using here, man. It's a guy who has dedicated his entire account to anti-Ghostbusters tweets.

Lmao at Jude Law. Dude looks silly as fuck. Maybe this movie WILL be fun.

That makes much more sense, considering the nature of the film and the fact that I have seen zero marketing for this at all. Might get lost in the awards shuffle, though. Something about this seems like a non-starter award wise.

This is my third weekend in a row and my fourth out of the past five not seeing a movie because I have zero interest. That's a huge outlier for February, much less the middle of summer. It sucks.

More like, uh, Cat Damon?

Why in the world would SLOP be frontloaded? Sure, it was marketed well and all, but it's a very kid-centric movie with zero built in fanbase. It's not a sequel or Pixar movie. The fact that it might have an OD higher than Inside Out, considering that IO was an adult-skewed Pixar movie with amazing reviews, is insanity. The real breakout surprise of the summer- and I had it third in my summer game predictions.

Just means you have to grace us with your presence a little more I donated 25 and will donate again after I get paid on the 15th. I know times are tough for all of us, but every little bit helps out! We're really a community here, so take part.

A BOTie legend is making a movie, y'all better fuckin donate! Thank goodness I just got paid.

This is still coming out, right? This makes the buzz MI5 had at this point last year look like The Force Awakens. I'm already under 50 on my OW predictions for this now and I might slide under 40 unless things change soon.

I'm there with you Blank- this movie felt like a mediocre TNT drama in terms of how it was shot and staged. Very TV movie, but not HBO TV movie. I think I expected that, though, and was able to enjoy it more because the comedy is a ton of fun.

Yea, this was also appreciably small-scale and well-paced, especially in the climax. Ends with just a simple showdown on the bridge. It has the direction/production value of a Lifetime movie, but the script is sharper than I expected in all regards and the Rock/Hart are magic on-screen. A fun little bit of summer entertainment.

Me and you are seeing eye to eye this summer. I had Star Trek doing only 50 mill OW but it has done well for itself lately and I've come around on it actually being good. I haven't heard one single person talk about Bourne. Seen the first trailer alot, but that's it. No TV marketing, no second trailer, no nothing. I know it skews older, but yeesh. I'm at 45 mill for that right now, but like MI5 that might increase as we get closer to release. As for Suicide Squad, that did have massive buzz after the first couple trailers last year, and a ton of people were sharing/talking about it. I was at 95 OW for a point. But after BvS and all the news of SS being cut to shit, I'm completely out on that movie. The buzz has absolutely died due to BvS, too, given it's the movie equivalent of a wet fart in church. I'm also expecting a really bad movie. If marketing picks up again and reviews are surprisingly decent I could see that being very big still, yes.

Oh for sure. I was saying this in the Ghostbusters topic (aka hell), but just in terms of buzz this movie has the most of any left this summer IMO. Everyone I know is talking about it, good or bad, and it has a huge marketing/promotion/social media presence. It's everywhere. With the expectation of only decent reviews, I'm predicting Ant-Man OW (57m), but it reviews come through as strong I might bump that to 65m+. People are underestimating this one. It's a McCarthy Feig comedy AND a blockbuster action movie that is part of a beloved brand. It'll be big.

Tarzan kind of reminds me of the Last Airbender- a poorly reviewed, poorly marketed brand movie that everyone thought was going to be a mammoth flop but ended up doing pretty good over the Fourth of July weekend.

Last summer was pretty awful at this point, too, outside of Mad Max. Hell I would say it was alot worse, when it came to live-action movies. It wasn't until the solid Ant-Man and Trainwreck, and more importantly the awesome MI5/The Gift/Compton trio over the last three weeks that we really got some great movies. This summer hasn't had a Mad Max, but it did have Popstar (favorite movie of the year) and Civil War, along with Nice Guys and Central Intelligence, both of which were fun. I have hopes that Star Trek/Bourne/Sausage Party/The Founder/The Infiltrator/Ghostbusters will boost this summer quality wise (no hope for Suicide Squad, sadly). It's another back loaded summer, maybe.

Huh......I know that's still terrible relative to budget, but that seems alot better than I was expecting for Tarzan.

What a fucking finale. Also, props to the awesome subtle acting by Harrington and Turner in the "winter is here" part overlooking Winterfell. They really just brought home six seasons worth of emotions and memories in just a couple of seconds. I know those two sometimes have gotten flack for their acting in the series, but they crushed it this season. Also, that episode might give Headey the Emmy win, not just nom.

A true crossover hit in the making. Older adults looking for a mature war movie AND rabid Harry Styles fans.

It's not like Littlefinger is exactly a trustworthy guy, that's the whole reason she rejected him in the first place. Besides, Jon wanted to go quickly primarily because of weather. Waiting around for unknow/unconfirmed reinforcement wouldn't have been too smart in that regard.

God, please let Jaime live. He's the best character (not my favorite, necessarily- there's a difference). I think the season either ends on Tower of Joy, King's Landings Burning, or Dany leaving for Westeros. The Wall coming down is too early. Would make everything else irrelevant fast.

Frey Pies might still be coming. I doubt they're showing a big Frey event just to have a random celebration next episode. Something's going down there.
