BOM used to have a function where you could adjust any numbers you were looking at to any years ticket prices. It didn't take into account premium tickets like 3D but i don't think anyone really knew for sure how much that stuff affected certain movies, and we just kinda had to estimate for most films in the 3D era. I miss playing around with that...

Never thought I'd hear the words "cancellation bear" again lol

I never doubted Minecraft for a moment lol. Didn't think it would necessarily go this high but I knew there was no world where a minecraft film flopped even it was objectively garbage. Kind of crazy though that up until recently most people were expecting it to be like 40M or lower. Now it could be 130M? That's almost some Jurassic World levels of acceleration.

Was a fine movie overall. Definitely not awful. But very forgettable and felt like disjointed filler. Didn't feel like any of the writers had any vision, they just made a "typical marvel film". That said it didn't have the low points of some of the other recent MCU films. Sam Wilson, new falcon, Isaiah, all were great.

Is this seriously still coming in July? I honestly just assumed it would get delayed at some point when they first announced the date. They turbocharged production on this one

Glorious inflation!

I'm honestly surprised at how many people like the first one more than the second, maybe I just don't have the same nostalgia for it or something since I didn't see it in theaters. Not that I didn't think it was a fine film but the characters in the first are pretty generic sci-fi tropes (well acted though for sure) and the story was definitely pretty weak. Great visuals and world building, but the second one does those both just as well. Story for the second one wasn't insanely intriguing either, but that's just sort of the avatar way. Where the second one clearly wins out for me is that the characters are 1000x more interesting then anything in the first one. The whole family dynamic elevated that movie way above the first. And the visuals in the second one wowed me in a way the first never really did. Again, I never saw the first in theaters so maybe thats why. For the third I think I definitely want them just to expand out the world and story. The first two built up the world in a slow and personal kind of way and now I kind of want to watch that story really take off into something grander and larger.

Seems like gladiator numbers were pretty high, even being well above deadpool, so I think it speaks more to gladiator doing very well than wicked being weak

First movie I followed on here was Hunger Games in 2012. I just turned 28 a few months ago. I've technically been here a while now lol but mostly I've just lurked.

I've noticed on here lately that a lot of movies are opening as clear winners, going on to do incredibly well and beating expectations, and yet the conversations start popping up about what went wrong and how disappointing it is and I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe.

Sonic 1 had a somewhat charming story focusing on sonic and Tom, with some fun Jim carrey moments thrown in there as well. Sonic 2 sidelined some of the characters and honestly had a much weaker story on the sonic side, but kind of amped up the Jim carrey hilarity. Sonic 3 amps that up to 11. Sonic and the others have such a forgettable story, but Jim carrey is constant gold. It's basically a classic Jim carrey film but they cut to some C tier family story every few scenes. No idea if Jim carreys coming back or not but the fourth film is basically dead if he doesn't at this point. I can't imagine the series being enjoyable at this point without him

Not surprising in the slightest that Mufasa is doing poorly. The idea of a lion king prequel in "photorealism" is about the least exciting idea for a film possible.

Sometimes even a total flop in OW can turn into a success a Christmas. The greatest showman opened pretty bad after all

Ngl I felt more emotion in the 15 seconds where the coconut realized he had to sacrifice himself to save his people then I did in the entire rest of the film. Very disappointed with this one, it was so clearly a TV show elevated to a film. Uninspired plot, forgettable side characters shoehorned in, animation that was clearly a step below the standard at points and possibly the worst music that's come out of Disney in years. Moana and Maui were still great, and a few points were fun, so it wasn't all bad, but definitely the first WDAS film I genuinely walked out of kind of disappointed

We need to start building gated communities where only people that act respectfully during films are allowed in. Anybody who breaks this sacred tenant are forcefully evicted by mob
