  1. The main themes of Avatar are absolutely about social justice. Don't let a trendy term (SJW) cloud your judgement.
  2. People are drama queens, it either has to be the best of the best or the worst of the worst.
  3. It does not! TFA is already at 24 days above 5M$, but the record is still being held by Avatar at 26 straight days above 5M$. Jurassic World and Incredibles 2 are tied with TFA at 24 days.
  4. The Force Awakens holds the record for most consecutive days above 20M$ with 17 days The Last Jedi holds the record for most consecutive days above 10M$ with 18 days Anyone care to predict when these will be broken? EP IX? Avatar 2? It kinda needs to be a Holiday movie as most big movies get killed around the 13-14 days mark
  5. TFA posting 17 days straight above 20M$ DOM...(742M$ in 17 days). Now that's what I call a movie event.
  6. Hunger Games had very good late legs - starting from 4th weekend onward, it had only one drop above 40% (48% during it's 7th w-e) until its 23rd weekend (44%). Considering that CM is 16M$ above HG at the same point, still grossing more on a daily basis (5,2M vs 4,5M) and that HG finished at 408M$, what do you expect CM will finish at? I see it with a 415M$ finish myself.
  7. I'm not very familiar with how reviews are written, but is this typical? It barely talks about the movie and is mostly focusing on external stuff.
  8. Definitely holds up upon a second viewing. The only complaints I could have about the movie are the lack of stakes. You know the main characters (Marvel, Fury, Coulson) are not going to die because it's a prequel and when she finally learns all her power, she basically becomes superman and the only threat to her are what her enemies can do to the people she cares about. Talos is great and I like the seeds they planted to get the Skrulls to become the vilains in the future.

  10. A look back at some of my 2018 predictions on impact of sequels. All my "guaranteed" predictions happened.
  11. The race is over and the winner is.... Avatar - 400M$ Frozen - 397M$ Expect Frozen to pass Avatar by the end of the year.
  12. I think @LaughingEvans's point is that you're not going to get the equivalent of a political science thesis in a 2 hour movie. You're gonna get a summary at best.
  13. I still don't believe this is coming out at this moment. Will need a teaser to make me believe this is coming out in the next 5 years...
  14. Definitely looking forward to see how the DCEU will unfold and what they are gonna do with Batman and Superman. I'm still cheering for Batflek and Cavill to come back.
  15. This is the Thanksgiving / Black Friday week. It really depends on BF specials. Look at the previous week to get a better picture of what is trending.
  16. DCEU has yet to release a movie under 225M$ DOM. Pretty good for a bad franchise.
  17. The Dispossessed by Ursula K. LeGuin is my favorite book ever. I make a point to read it once a year.
  18. I'm still to this day a very big fan of BvS but I have been very disappointed by JL. I'm in the minority that prefers Snyder style to Whedon and having these two directors try to mesh JL into a cohesive movie was painful to watch. I would cut 1 minute of BvS and be happy with it all (the way Superman says Martha, not the sentence, just the delivery --- Batman saying to Martha he's a friend of Superman, minutes after trying to kill him)
  19. This will be a horror movie about mutants, but they will remove all links to Marvel or super hero... mark my words.
  20. As of today, I still don't believe this will come out in 2020...or even before 2025. Waiting on a trailer...Is Sam Wortington even acting anymore? ( has he ever acted?)
