I have to disagree. The treasure room is mostly blue and the desert with the city of Agrabah looks like it's made out of dirt, the sky is the same colour as the desert, there is very little contrast. The day scenes looked like a cheap movie set on mars or a Mad Max knock off. Fury Road in comparison looks way more interesting in the way it was shot and graded. I believe Fury Road was greatly improved from what was presented in the trailer but I have my doubts that Guy Ritchie will change things that much for the theatrical release.

I don't know if it's hated but I don't think it wowed or pleased a lot of people. I think some people are not on board with Guy Ritchie's signature colour palette and grittiness but most of all Aladdin's appearance in the teaser didn't convey the charming street urchin quality that people associate with the character.

1984 is a novel written in 1949 that used its dystopian future to staunchly criticize totalitarian regimes, it was not really meant as an accurate predictor of life in 1984. Even so, the novel remains very relevant to this day with issues such as mass surveillance and let's not forget that totalitarian regimes still exist and life there is not so great. I do agree that in fiction writers seem to overstate modern day problems just to make things a bit more interesting without inserting something truly meaningful in their work like in 1984.

It's pretty clear studios overstuffed the summer, a lot of tentpoles along with surefire bombs taking away screens.

Prometheus' second half completely lost focus, it was like 2 movies trying to be a single whole movie and it didn't work.

I honestly don't know and don't care about Ryan Reynolds dating history and I still find the guy hard to watch on screen. He's just not a very good actor, he's bland and repetitive. And of course people are a bit anoyed cause he gets a lot of high profile acting jobs.

The only movie that completely floored me was The Matrix. The first scene alone just completely blew me away. I also got to mention Toy Story 3, I'm a big fan of Toy Story but time had passed and going in I didn't really know what to think of this second sequel. In the very first scene I got a lump in my throat and it didn't subside, still cannot see it without crying.

289M is with re-releases. 256M was the original run. Something in the 280M range is possible for MU.

Most people and mostly kids (me included) enjoyed Batman Forever. Things really derailed with B+R.

But that's how it works, companies do not report for financial profit or loss for each individual movie. They report quaterly with financial profit or loss for all their projects. Sure flops hurt their bottomline but it's not a risk free business and if you think about it the whole MCU was a huge gamble that paid off. It could have been the other way around, John Carter could have been a huge hit spawning several sequels and the MCU could have been met with disinterest.

They aren't even discussing MOS... They're talking Star Wars... Considering the competition MOS is having a good run. It's been dropping around 20% on wednesday so I think it can stay above 1.2M for a 5.5M-6M weekend.

At this point I don't see how it could miss it.

DM2 pretty much killed its chances... It might possibly outgross UP.

Some big drops, not that surprising. Hoping for a nice bump on tuesday.

No, I just calculated their respective share of the gross and subtracted their production budgets, they have the same profit. As long as they have a similar performance in the home market they'll be even.
