  1. I can’t hear your laughter from the top of the box office. Sounds more like tears to me. Maybe watching the number 1 grossing movie of all-time, Avengers: Endgame, will cheer you up.
  2. Very possible. But they may just have a double feature with Avatar 2 instead. It’ll be interesting to see how they proceed.
  3. Cameron doesn’t release or re-release. Disney will either re-release it or they won’t.
  4. The hype for BvS was real. People had been talking about Batman and Superman in the same movie since the 90s. Its OW was inpressive, even if it wasn’t record breaking. The problem is that the movie wasn’t very good, which hurt the domestic gross. Although you are right that Man of Steel didn’t help BvS out at all.
  5. Box office would be pretty boring to follow if a person didn’t have a rooting interest. The same applies to any awards shows. The whole appeal is to care about who wins. And the only way to care is to be a fan. The word “fan” is actually an abbreviation for “fanatic.”
  6. Bloggers can’t ruin anything for anyone. Just don’t read their blogs. To purposely continue to read sites that you think are wrong makes no sense. It’s one thing if it’s a message board you frequent, but blogs and websites can be ignored quite easily.
  7. Well, for one, IW and EG aren’t called part 1 and part 2. But in all seriousness, calling it The Godfather Part I/ Part Ii/Part III was just the title. It wasn’t one movie that was split into 3 parts. Unless you believe that all franchises are just 1 movie split into multiple installments. But no one believes that. I don’t think I have to define what a franchise is for anyone. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was one movie split into 2 parts. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay was one movie split into 2 parts. IW and EG are 2 distinct movies, with 2 different plots. They are both installments in the same franchise, but they are not the same movie. In order to believe they are the same movie, a person would have to have not understood the plots of IW and EG. Additionally, Kevin Feige was quoted in the article posted above stating that they are 2 distinct movies.
  8. It really doesn’t make a difference. One poster brought it up, wanting credit for being right for saying it was a part 1/part 2 situation. However, there is a factually correct answer that it isn’t. Does it really matter if people want to believe otherwise? Not really. But there is an answer. It isn’t a case of semantics and it isn’t an unanswerable question.
  9. Endgame doesn’t make sense without IW in the same way that Princess Diaries 2 doesn’t make sense without The Princess Diaries. Most sequels build on the original movie. Rocky 2 would make no sense if you didn’t see Rocky. IW is a film that tells the story of Thanos getting the necessary elements to assemble the Infinity Gauntlet. Once he assembles the Gauntlet and snaps his fingers, the plot is complete. It ends with the antagonist victorious. Endgame is about the after effects of what happened in IW. It is another installment in the franchise, but it isn’t one long movie broken into 2 parts.
  10. They always planned to film them back to back. They were just originally intended to be separate movies, which is what they turned out to be. However, there was a time when they thought they were going to label them as part and part 2 because that was the trendy thing to do.
  11. IW is as much of a part 1 as Empire Strikes Back was a part 1. Not really a part 1. It just ends with the antagonist winning. I think some people misconstrue IW as a part 1 because at one time it was going to be re-labeled as a part 1 because of other films like Harry Potter going that route. However, the failure of Mockingjay being split into 2 ended that plan. The ironic part is that before the part 1 & 2 fad, IW and Endgame were envisioned as 2 separate movies. Most people didn’t know the orignal plans, so they mistakenly think it was always meant to be a part 1, and was changed because of Mockingjay. But the reality is it was changed back to its original plans of not being a part 1.
  12. Yes. Crocodile Dundee was an independent Australian film that was a WW blockbuster. It is very hard though, as no other foreign film since Crocodile Dundee has duplicated that success.
  13. It’s not going to gross Captain Marvel numbers, forget about Avengers: Endgame numbers. So, even if someone wanted to get mad about this movie (and I can’t imagine why anyone would), there is no logical reason to fume about this film.
  14. Let’s see how well Disney markets Fear Street before we slam their horror marketing ability.
  15. No one wants this movie to be the worst movie of all-time. Almost no one cares about this movie. People just can't help but comment on how badly this movie will perform. Personally, if it is released in the movie theater, I just hope Disney can earn their marketing expenses back. This thing has "money loser" written all over it.
  16. I just want to recap a few records. #1 movie of all-time domestically: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens #1 movie of all-time WW: Avengers: Endgame #1 movie of all-time domestically adjusted for inflation: Gone With the Wind
  17. That's my problem with this idea. I am like Captain Craig. I don't ever read reviews to decide what movie to see. However, I understand that some people are different, and they do like to read reviews. But, what I can't understand, is how allowing people who are not professional reviewers to influence movie ratings provides any sort of help. Why is their uneducated opinion about movies any more valuable than anyone else's? By that standard, we should all be allowed to write reviews for Rotten Tomatoes and have our reviews count towards the score. Either the website is for professional reviewers or it is for everyone to write reviews. Having non-professionals write reviews doesn't make sense, and I don't see how it helps anyone decide what movie to see.
  18. In all fairness, no one got banned. They just banned all the alternate accounts of one guy. If the rest of the Jim Gang was really just one guy with multiple accounts, then that is pretty sad.
  19. The list has been updated to reflect the addition of Spider-Man: Far From Home. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me has been removed from the list.
  20. I just realized that Dumbo is grossing more domestically than Godzilla: KOTM. That has to hurt WB. Personally, while I liked Dumbo, I liked Godzilla more.
  21. The list has been updated to reflect the addition of The Lion King (2019). Bruce Almighty has been removed from the list.
  22. My Vote: Marvel’s the Avengers Avengers: Infinity War Captain America: Civil War Avengers: Endgame Avengers: Age of Ultron Captain America: The First Avenger Iron Man 2 Doctor Strange Iron Man Superman II Men in Black The Dark Knight Captain America: The Winter Soldier Guardians of the Galaxy Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 Superman Iron Man 3 Thor Men in Black II Thor: Ragnarok Ant-Man Batman Returns Batman Begins Spider-Man: Homecoming Thor: The Dark World Spider-Man: Far From Home X-Men: Days of Future Past Batman Forever Superman III The Dark Knight Rises
