Whats the most times youve seen a movie in theaters?
Mango replied to lilmac's topic in The Speakeasy
It's a bump but this is a cool thread- The Dark Knight Rises - 7 times Guardians of the Galaxy - 5 times Fury Road - 4 times The Force Awakens - 4 times Interstellar - 3 times The Avengers - 3 times Deathy Hallows II - 3 times Toy Story 3 - 3 times The Dark Knight - twice The Incredibles - twice I didn't get my driver's license until early 2010 so I sort of had to go out of my way to see the bottom two twice, hence the mention. Other than that I've seen a few other movies twice since then. Though the most recent releases I saw twice were Guardians Vol. 2 and Rogue One, haven't really been going multiple times the past year or so. -

So far Guardians has been a powerhouse on Saturday/Sundays. -

I'll take short bursts of his comedy over 90 minutes to two hours of stuff like this any day. -

Most comedy movies these days are just the same dick or smurf tunnel of bliss jokes told in a slightly different way. Bring on Edgar Wright later this summer. That's a brand of comedy I can get behind. -
Tuesday Numbers : GOTG2 12.10M | FF8: 0.85M | HTBLL:0.58M
Mango replied to Finnick's topic in Numbers and Data
Still looking good for a $60M+ second weekend. I'm thinking it might get close to $65M if the weekend plays strongly like it did last week. -

I thought the Schumer hating was because of all the ther comedians she's plagiarized. Though I'm sure comedians borrowing from either other happens a lot. Like her and a lot of other modern comedians she just isn't that funny imo. That guy with the Russia story I keep seeing shared on Facebook is the only comedian I've laughed at in... a while. -
Daniel Craig deserves a better send off than Spectre. Guy really was the Bond for the new generation and helped make the character more relevant than he has been in 40 years. Really hope he's back for one last round.

How did "Pokemon: The Movie" do so good at the box office?
Mango replied to MrFanaticGuy34's topic in Animation Station
Pokemon really hit a peak that year (I think that "peak" has returned a couple of times since, but that was the first). The anime was getting super high ratings on Kids WB, the video games were selling outrageous amounts of copies, and merchandise was EVERYWHERE. They really did a crazy good job with saturating just about any kind of industry with Pokemon. The card game was huge with kids too, I remember a ton of kids in my class talking about getting exclusive cards when you buy a ticket. Probably would have done $100M if Toy Story 2 hadn't clipped it's wings early. What's intersting is adjusted for inflation Pokemon beats stuff like the Spongebob movie. The video games are still huge to this day, but the anime (which this movie was spawned from) was very much a relic of its era. Arguably a more impressive run for a similar film would have been The Rugrats Movie a year prior. Managed to make $100M even after A Bug's Life released and I think in terms of attendance the only animated adapted movie from tv that beats it is The Simpsons Movie. -
To this day it baffles me that Universal released Hellboy II a week before TDK when August through October of that year was outrageously dead/open.

Monday Numbers: GOTG2:9.86M | FF8:0.60M | HTBLL:0.39M
Mango replied to Finnick's topic in Numbers and Data
I actually think it has a slim chance at holding better than the first Guardians. That one was early August when weekdays are still in summer mode, leading to less weekend heavy grosses. Not saying it will definitely happen but it's Friday was a pretty light part of its OW compared to other similar openers, and that is usually where films have the disadvantage. (Like BvS being down 80% for Friday so Saturday/Sunday couldn't compensate well for it.)
