Saw The Purge 3 today. I am nowhere into horror as much as I was in high school but I've slowly started checking out more and more releases the past few months and I have to say The Purge 2 and 3 are some of the most enjoyable films of the genre in a long time. The first was such a gimmick but the last two, led by Grillo, have really been a lot of fun. I hope it gets dat coin.

i really, really, like this analysis (SAM is also my favorite of the year so far) but I do disagree with Angry Birds. Comparing it to the Disney cannon is non sensical and I honestly think it's actually a pretty big success. It had all the makings to be a huge flop (just the concept in itself is so nuts) but it's going to finish around 350 on a 75 million budget and that's nothing to scoff at. I legitimately thought it would struggle to hit 50 domestic even up until OW. But yeah, great analysis.

I started right when I got into high school which would have been around '03 following the HP series. I had always seen Yahoo updates but somehow stumbled across BOM and got obsessed with the forums. I didn't post very often but I lurked around for about 3 or 4 years before I posted more frequently. Baumer, ShawnMR, Noctis were all some of the first posters I remember. I'm obviously still stoked we have this but I have such a sense of nostalgia for that site and early Saturday morning estimates without the immediacy of social media.

4 million.

lulz at ID:R. really a terrible result.

i'm getting ready to move back to nashville this week and i was packing some stuff this afternoon and for some reason thought of the night nikki posted 'not a record' on deadline and burst into hysterics. thank god just my dog was here.

right but frank actually looked like a human being.

While everyone's bringing up the purge just wanna say I briefly met Frank Grillo last week at a festival I was at and dude is JACKED. at 27 i will never look 1/16 as ripped as he does at 51.

woof that seems impossible to me. I know this isn't as fresh as it was but it hasn't fallen THAT far from glory. I also think it will be a small factor, but a factor albeit, that yelchin passed away.

i've literally never seen a predict under 100. i called 150 and quite a few posters said that it would easily do 200+. so no, its just a disappointment domestically and people are calling it what it is.

this thing is an absolute MONSTER.

I saw a 7 PM and it was probably 50% full. But I was out of town in North Carolina and I saw another Thursday preview there earlier this year and there was MAYBE 5 people so I took it as a very good sign. One thing else I'll add, sans spoiler, the entire bouey scene is just BEAUTIFULLY constructed and I feel like hits a home run where a lot of these kind of films would have dropped the ball.

this is where i was at too. i expected sub 50 and sub 175 total and this would be right in line with that for OW I can't see how it's something to celebrate.

i think if she can handle cloverfield she can do this. it's very much in that vein of consistently intense.

Just got back. A REALLY fun ride. This all rests on Lively's shoulders and she more than carries it. This could have been an incredibly campy film but she made it a nail biter. After the first 15 minutes it really is just one held breath. Perfect runtime for something like this as well. Only one part left me a bit confused but it wasn't that distracting or much of a deterrent. 8.5/10. Mainly based off Lively's performance but more than anything the film being aware enough to know it's not breaking the mold it's just being smart.

what is that based on, presales? This is EXACTLY the kind of film that the younger audience eats up in the summer. They've been putting the trailers in the right spots and I think its going to pay off and get this in the low 20's.

this has sleeper written all over it. I think OW can hit 25, with a 70 total.

Yeah I'm convinced 450 is the floor, with 525 being the absolute ceiling. I think people are expecting this to crumble at some point because it's not the absolute gold standard of what Pixar has done, but i think that has very little merit to families who will continue to bring their kids to this in droves. The market is pretty much completely dead until Life of Pets which is still over 2 weeks away. I just don't see the BFG as any kind of threat, it's a concept film for the modern public. Families don't see films because they're 99% on RT. WOM is strong enough to really propel this thing, I think.

retweet.

same. doesn't it feel like its been years since something out of the genre really left an impression? I was a big fan of It Follows but I just wish an incredible slasher film could come back and reinvent the game.

One of my friend's little brothers is the main kid in this. He's been blowing up and is the new Robert Kirkman series and the new American Gothic series on CBS.

Has Alice opened in all of it's international markets? What do we think is the ceiling WW?

Really bummed Nice Guys didn't find more of an audience. A really fun film.
