That's what I did when they first introduced surge pricing. But yesterday when I saw TTG, every single movie had a surcharge, so there was no way around it. Like I said, though, I've seen almost $300 worth of movies since December, while paying only $80 to MP, so I can't say I'm either surprised or upset by how this turned out.

I'm gonna try and use my pass to see MI or TTG:TTM tomorrow (theatre-hopping if I need to); that's if the ticketing system is still up. I honestly don't expect MP to last past Monday at this rate, but at least there's a couple of weeks before they charge me again so I have time to see what happens before I cancel. As shitty as their customer service has been, I can't say I haven't got my money's worth with seeing at least one movie a week since I joined. Wish I could switch to AMC's plan, but they only have one theatre near me and it's almost an hour drive.

I was thinking of going to see this, but yikes at those reviews. Why is it so hard to make a good sequel to JP? TLW and JW were poor. JPIII could have been decent, except they forgot to film an ending for the movie. Maybe JP should have been one and done instead of a franchise? Although I can't argue it hasn't paid off for Universal, much likes the Cars movies for Disney.

So when I search for The Nun on Bing it says this movie is playing near me right now. WTF? Did they already put in showtimes before the release date changed? I was getting excited that I could see it months before anyone else. 😂

I was pretty bored by this, to be honest. It wasn't TPM bad, but it alternated between lazy fan service and just laughably bizarre (i.e. sexy-walking droid dying in Lando's arms). I liked most of the cast and the action was decent but overall this was the worst of the Disney Star Wars for me. Not surprised it's underperforming.

I was hoping they'd expand this so I could go see it without having to travel 350 miles, but it doesn't look hopeful. Still, not bad for a 50 year old movie.

This looks like the very definition of dumb but fun. My kids have played the game with me and we all lost it when Lizzie showed up at the end.

Where the freak are the reviews for this? I want to know if it's at least bearable so I can sit through it with my kids or if I need to drop them off and go see Blade Runner instead

King has teased a sequel for years - several of his other books imply that Pennywise is still around in the present. I'm surprised he didn't write it for the 27th anniversary of It, but maybe the success of the movie will finally convince him to do it, or at least allow someone else to write an authorized sequel.

Sony probably wishing they could push this back until after IT now, at least try and piggyback on some of the (almost guaranteed) success of that movie. "See the TURTLE of Enormous Girth. On his shell he holds the Earth. His thought is slow, but always kind. He holds us all within his mind."

The movie may well be dire, but fuck that guy.

It's PG-13? Well, at least I can take the kids . . .

Anybody want to talk about the total mindfuck that was episode 8? I don't know what that episode was (it certainly didn't feel like classic Twin Peaks) but it was the weirdest, most disturbing and yet strangely beautiful hour of TV I've seen in years. Kudos to Lynch for showing he's still got his youthful Eraserhead-era passion and to Showtime for letting him and Mark Frost get away with it.

TFA was decent

Add Black Christmas (the original) on there and this would be pretty much my list. Burton's Christmas Trilogy is the best.

Good. Burton needed a hit after his last three movies (although Frankenweenie and Big Eyes probably broke even, despite being ignored by the GA). Now if only he would do something original again.

Probably got around $60m or so left in the tank, so I think it will just fall short. Still a decent showing for a YA movie that's not Twilight or HG.

This is actually turning a profit now thanks to the OS gross so a sequel may happen, with or without Burton.

Go home, Sony, you're drunk.

True, but at least he's not a sinus supremus . . .

Peregrine went up from estimates. Hopefully a good sign for legs?

Fun movie, deserves its success. The only real problem I had was the dodgy acting in parts (especially from Butterfield, but then his character was the least interesting) and some out of place silliness in the final act.

Tim should have just said, "this movie takes place in Wales in the 1940s" and left it at that. His rambling about diversity in The Brady Bunch offending him is not going to help this movie's publicity.

It turns out it did make a profit

Attack of the clobed is the best Star Wars movie.
