One of the greatest films of all time. Dune fires on all cylinders: Acting, cinematography, costumes, direction, soundtrack. The one minus is that the Zimmer score seemed overbearing at times. The film does run long even though it’s enjoyable. A+

I love this film. So much. It isn’t a movie. This is a film, the subject of cinema classes for decades to come. Dune is LOTR level good. I have seen it 3x in theaters and will probably double the number of viewings by next week.

How did Halloween Kills make more than Bond?? 😐

I love the show as well

Love that WB is doing this. Keeping the DCEU front of mind for the fans.

Stephen King’s work has been adapted so many times — sometimes by King himself. What would you like to see next? It can be either a remake or a novel/novella that hasn't been adapted yet for TV or film.

Kristen nails the role physically. Hope the story is balanced and is not a hagiography of Diana (i.e. Diana = perfect but always depressed; everyone else = bad and just have it out for Diana). Either way, Kristen's striking similarity makes me want to see this film.

It was fantastic. Adam Driver carried the show. Loved Matt Damon as well. Another solid effort by the octogenarian, Ridley Scott. A

1989? Batman? You mean Last Crusade?

Ghostbusters was the first film I remember seeing in a theater (drive through). Good memories.

Did not know that. Thanks. Lol

Thanks. Has the veil been lifted somewhat on how subscription/streaming plays into determining profitability?

@Barnack has the calculus changed since the pandemic as far as studio/theater revenue breakdowns?

What did Safin have against Bond? Madeline I get due to her Mr. White/Spectre connection. What did he have against Bond, the man who put Blofeld away?

Two questions: 1. we have someone with a similar name on WOKJ. Same person? 2. And are you like rth? Someone with early exhibitor tracking access… I was a high volume poster in the early 2000s (BOM boards). More of a lurker now so excuse the ignorance. 🙂

It’s so good to see your posts buddy. Not sure if you remember but we go back almost 20 years (BOM forums). We had a contest, closely watched by all, for first to 1000 posts. Lol. This was June-August 2002 timeframe.

The James Bond franchise is rejoicing at these numbers. I wonder how it will affect ScarJo and Russo Brothers (Secret Wars movie) negotiations

ShangChi opening day was 25% lower than BLACK WIDOW’s. Their Saturdays were even and SHANG-CHI’s Sunday looks to be around 24% higher. Premium Access kills repeat ticket sales. SHANG-CHI will absolutely outgross Black Widow overall.

As an avid Netflix DVD service subscriber I hope Netflix will transition to blu rays with no increase in price.

I want this to do well. Hoping the boxoffice is back for good by then. No Mu or Omega variants please, God.

Hoping for 1970s Coppola and not Tetro Coppola.

B-/C+ This is what Black Panther could have been without the sure direction of Coogler. Pros -Awkwafina -creature and world design -Mandarin’s scenes (although I didn’t like that he felt he needed to apologize for IM3) -Lucy Liu Cons -tired female trope (coed fights are so predictable in that the female always wins, their characters are also invariably nobler, man=bad) - confusing fight scenes at times and for me martial arts scenes can be repetitive -disjointed and confusing climactic scene of him fighting the Final dragon Boss -villain was not that evil. He was motivated by love of his wife.

I hope there's a way for Holland to opt out of any non-MCU Spidey cameos or films. He's the best Peter Parker we've ever had and I'd hate for him to have to appear in Sony led films.
