    Of course there were. In fact a year ago many were predicting that it would be the n.1 movie of 2019 , the posts are still there for all to see. Naturally we will see a lot of backpedaling, it has already begun, but people were expecting this to be THE event of 2019. Now these people will defend how successful it is as if there was any chance that it wouldn’t achieve good box office results. Anyway let’s see the legs and how it will actually perform outside of the U.S.

    It’s cute how you think that you are actually a serious horror fan.

    Midsommar is not getting good buzz at all at the horror communities I am a part of but whatever. Crawl on the other hand seems to be enjoyed by the people that have watched it. I have no opinion in either of these films.

    Looks , unsurprisingly, like shit but at least kind of better than the abominations that the previous movies were.

    The book is massively more successful than the Kubrick film. It is also much better and the story actually makes sense unlike Kubrick’s film plus the book has way better characterization for the main characters. The Kubrick film is famous for Nicholson’s performance not as a film overall. Anyway with over 350 million books sold King is a much more successful writer than Kubrick ever was as a director.

    Seems quite different to the book. This seem to try to sell itself as a pure sequel to “the shining” with all the ghosts and stuff while in the book all this is a small part and the soul eaters , not vampires, are the main villains. The book is definitely not as horror-oriented as this trailer seems to be imply about the film version but it is understandable that they will take huge liberties for box office purposes.

    I always believed that IW will cross 2 billion and posted it during its entire run, despite not being satisfied with its U.S run. I don’t believe that there’s any chance for EG to pass Avatar and at this point I don’t even care TBH.

    It has already collapsed internationally, did you see the numbers it did for the entire week ? It is over, time to accept it and move on, still had an amazing run.
  9. Thrylos 7
    I think it is over, Avatar retains the crown.

    Hahaha, why people underestimate the new spider man film , when it comes to worldwide, I have no idea (instead we are reading about the battle of frozen 2 vs lion king). Nevermind they will learn their lesson soon just like they did with endgame. Hell the new Star Wars has an excellent chance of surpassing these two children films worldwide.

    Reading really good things about Aladdin from folks who aren’t usually in this type of film. I think that WOM must be really good.

    Truth be told I don’t see maliciousness in IronJimbo’s posts even when he is at his most annoying. The thing that I am talking about was something else entirely.
  13. Thrylos 7
    There were definitely digs against India basically mocking its culture, about how alita should have dancing or stuff like that (as if other Hollywood films don’t do great there), definitely digs against South America and so on. Sorry not searching that embarrassment of a thread , anyone who was following it knows what was written.
  14. Thrylos 7
    Not Ironjimbo though he has certainly posted some dubious stuff from time to time but nothing as extreme as some other folks.
  15. Thrylos 7
    The only person that I have on ignore is a Cameron fan who accused me of being Greek, racism is in the blood of some people and the mods generally allow it in this forum. In the Alita thread I saw digs against South America, India e.t.c.

    Oh so we go to the magic home market, got it. Bottom line it will not make a profit from its theater run , instead it will actually lose money unless it somehow explodes. Yep, another great 300+ million investment and then the long wait for ancillaries to save it.
  17. Thrylos 7
    How would a movie with a 200 million production budget (which translates to over 300 million total budget) be profitable at 500 million worldwide ?
  18. Thrylos 7
    Aladdin needs quite a big box office gross to turn even a small profit with its almost 200 million budget and what is certainly a substantial marketing budget. Disney spared no expenses marketing this movie so I would say than an 150 million marketing budget is possible so we are already at 300-350 million cost. Needs around 750-800 million to be profitable, not a real cash cow by any means and considering that it is following the flop Dumbo and the other flop Marry Poppins, these Disney remakes/reboots don’t seem like a great idea.
  19. Thrylos 7
    Agreed , either drop the emotions completely or don’t whine about them.
  20. Thrylos 7
    Meh trailer. They should just let the franchise die in peace, it belongs in a different era of movies.
  21. Thrylos 7
    So endgame under 1.8 probably.
  22. Thrylos 7
    Sarah Connor and the Cameron name attached are the big draws of this film , no wonder they promote both.
  23. Thrylos 7
    Talk about an unnecessary remake. The original movies are holding up fine and some sequels esp. the ones with Jennifer Tilly are hilarious. Brad Dourif is, at the very least, as good as Mark Hamill as Chucky. Oh and the trailer looks awful. Whatever....
  24. Thrylos 7
    Strangely excited about this.
  25. Thrylos 7
    I actually hated the mummy 2017. Blumhouse films, with the exception of “get out” are garbage from paranormal activity to the martyrs remake to shit like unfriended, lowest common denominator trash.
