Thrylos 7

What a great show, another love letter to the glorious eighties....and Chavo Guerrero is in there too !! Also awesome Kong is quite a good actress too, her scenes with her character’s son were quite dramatic and heartfelt.

Incredibles 2 only 900k difference from JW2, awesome.

Every other film did amazingly compared to last Monday , this drop seems surprisingly high , all things considered.

How is the WC an issue for a female-driven film and not an issue for something like JW2 ? O8 overseas problem has nothing to do with the WC, people don’t care about the concept and are more than happy to just rewatch the previous ocean’s films at home plus they don’t really care about the “cause” of this film just like they didn’t care for ghostbusters2016 .

Personal insults should immediately get a poster banned, no matter what, that’s what happens in basically every decent forum on the internet. EC wasn’t banned just because of his posts in wreck it Ralph thread , the guy had given an entire show at that week’s weekend thread using extremely vulgar language against other posters (not me, just to be clear). It was eye-opening what he was getting away with at that weekend’s thread. If you can’t stand someone not liking your favourite franchise, movie, Director, actor,musician, company,whatever then you have the problem.

Why ? What would an extra 70-80 million be for a movie that was doing over a billion anyway if this money was used to help create a better, more ambitious and more impressive movie that could elevate its bo gross closer to the first one ? A 250 million film doing 1.5 billion (having an AOU kind of drop from the first) seems better than an 170-180 million movie doing 1.1-1.2 billion .

Never change universal....

Finished season 2, by far the best structured Netflix marvel series. Now both seasons simply work together amazingly well, like you are watching an extremely long drama movie , by the end of season 2 everything just comes in place. Really great stuff.....

Great show, started season 2.

Eeeh, I think I specifically wrote that I am not talking about you. Most people don’t own up when they are wrong, they just brush it off usually with an annoying “everybody knew....” and keep on going. Even so I think there should be a bit more sensitivitity when it comes to direct personal insults instead of who is owning up to being wrong and who isn’t. Last weekend’s thread was unbearable with all these people attacking movieman89 because he wrote that there was a chance that JW2 would be under 100 million , it was page after page after page of people whining, mocking and throwing insults , the same people that had made some ridiculous predictions when it comes to JW2 .(it’s breezing over 450 million. OW close to 200 million, it will beat or be very close to IW worldwide e.t.c).

Actually many people have that habit only instead of disappearing when they are proven wrong they just write “everybody knew that x thing would happen” even though they were predicting the opposite a few months/weeks ago. I am not talking about you, obviously, but one look at a few threads even in the first page is enough.

Damn “Power man and iron fist” as a diehard fan of seventies marvel I really anticipated that and it was finally here. This season is awesome.

So close already...

Why would it follow a movie that had fantastic legs ? WW fell just 1.9% from Wednesday to Thursday , for example.

Numbers are so small that they could flunctuate without following an exact pattern ?

“Half in the bag” review finally here and it was worth the wait. They are ripping the movie a new one...

Going from 1.672 to 1.2 is an over 28% drop. (28.3%to be exact)

The movie isn’t doing anything remarkable at the box office in either a good or bad way. It’s performing decently while having a huge drop, what most sane people expected. It’s quality is all over the place, but it’s just an indifferent movie (and franchise) for people to either bash or defend to death. This isn’t justice league or TLJ, it’s more of a “who cares ?” type of movie and box office run.

Well it’s not like it had an impressive Monday to begin with. I agree with the rest , it seems that the ceiling for this is slowly lowering from 400 million to something like 380 million but maybe next week’s holiday will help it. I2 seems to be catching up , if the numbers hold (12 something million vs. 10 million).

I haven’t really followed leto’s career but isn’t he supposed to be a good actor or something ? I remember people being excited when he was cast as the joker until they saw the joker’s look for suicide squad at least .

Yeah if you have time and patience, it’s a fascinating read with a completely different focus than what is seen on the screen. Some of the mini stories describing the atrocities the people made in the past are scarier than the monster. At least that’s how I remember it, it’s been many many years since I read it but there’s a few unforgettable things about it that YOU WILL NEVER see in any film version of it.

The book has a different philosophy from any big or small screen incarnation of this story. In the book there are huge sections showing how evil the people in that town were in the past years, full mini-stories full of hatred and racism, that point out that IT is actually the embodiment of that evil. The movie is basically an entertaining “nightmare on elm street” kind of thing. Oh and of course the book is disturbing in .....other ways that would never been filmed (well unless the movie was made in the seventies I guess).

Yep calling the first avenger insincere while stuff like man of steel and BvS are supposed to be sincere, now seriously who in his right mind can argue things like that ? Oh and the first avenger being corny in some scenes is actually fantastic cause it represents the era it is supposed to take place in perfectly, just watch a few patriotic Hollywood films from that actual era and then watch the first avenger’s corny moments, the similarities are uncanny.

No I want JW2 to fail because it’s a terrible movie and it’s doing exactly as I had predicted having a monster drop from the first one both in the U.S and worldwide. DC is really not worth even spending the time arguing about hense I don’t actually post in any dc thread just a reply here about pure spirit’s “thoughts”, to put it nicely. I actually feel sorry for dc fans that have to defend the trash dc has been producing for many years. As for the personal insults, as usual, I don’t reply to them.

What ? Fanboys are ...cancer ? That’s shameful and disrespectful to people that are actually sick. Fanboys are just people that are enjoying stuffand are passionate about it, you can be a fanboy of anything from a soccer (for my U.S friends, football for the rest of us) team to a music band. Oh and if you hate fanboys so much what are you doing in a ...fanboys war thread ? Are you fanboys of anti-fanboism ?
