Fox used the exact same marketing plan for Paper Towns that they used for TFIOS and that was their mistake because TFIOS could've been even bigger had they marketed it like beyond the core fanbase but TFIOS did really well anyway because the book was huge. Paper Towns wasn't huge on its own and they got lazy and this is the result of that. Surprised Cara couldn't bring in more though because she has a very large teenage girl fanbase.

Yeah, that can't be a good number. It's so close to Magic Mike's number and isn't Terminator PG-13? School's out so...

YES

I don't think Dope is set in the 90s, I think it just has a 90s aesthetic. Dope namechecks Donald Glover.

I just saw Insurgent and I'm pretty confident that the only thing Allegiant will keep from the book is the ending because the Insurgent movie made a lot of changes so I'm not even sure what Allegiant will be about at this point... and I'm totally fine with that.

HA this is such a good post. Anyway, I'm seeing this Sunday with family but I refuse to pay for 3D.

I hope Allegiant goes back to being one movie!

I did noooot like this at all, like not even a little bit? It was all very surface and not much else. Cooper tried his best with what he was given but meh. I would give it like half a point for amusing me with the fake baby.

Basically this. This film is so so so so so good and so incredibly important right now. I can't believe it's not winning every single thing it's been up for so far and I also can't believe it hasn't been up for more. Paramount sucks for screwing it, screeners wise but the award bodies suck too for not going to a theater to see it... You work in the industry yet you don't support the industry and then you complain about how poorly it's doing. BUT ANYWAY, Selma: Fantastic direction, fantastic cast, fantastic everything IMO.

Agreed, I really really dug this one.

John Wick was awesome.

Yeah, but in the book the parents of the teens acknowledge that and say something about how weird their kids are. It works on the page and thanks to good acting it works in the movie too.

Schools here are in until basically the end of the month but they also start school in the middle of September and we had a lot of closings due to weather so they have to make those up.

Pretty much, Fandango said in their presale report that it didn't include movies like Twilight because it's in a different category. The only thing the two have in common are that they're both YA adaptations. Anyway, if Fault hits 50M this weekend that'd be really great. Either way though it's a success for Fox since it didn't cost much to make.
