  1. I'd think a slightly better multi, simply because it's harder for massive 200m openers to burn off upfront demand due to theaters playing at capacity. We'll have a lot spillover than RO.
  2. I think it's fair to say there's a large sector the SW hardcore fanbase that doesn't like the movie. But amoung the GA as a whole? That's a no from me.
  3. Creed is the best Rocky movie and Rocky is the second. The rest are mediocre to decent.
  4. BKB, BKB, BKB, BKB, BKB... Snowflake liberals are too offended by a little pedophilia from 30 years ago that they elect Doug Jones.. This wont stop Trump, he's already done more than all the whiny libtards combined..
  5. Loved both Hell or High Water and Sicario, so if it's similar to those then I'll definitely catch it.
  6. What's the order I should prioritize seeing these movies (streaming wise, I'll see Shape of Water and Disaster Artist for sure on theaters before 2018. Hopefully CMBYN, Phantom Thread and the Post too, if they play near me, potentially Darkest Hour and I, Tonya) Im interested in seeing them before I make my end of the year list but realistically won't see nearly all of them, so I want prioritize a few. Girls Trip The Meyeroitz Stories Gerald's Game Logan Lucky Wind River Ingrid Goes West I Don't Feel at Home In this World Anymore Creep 2 Good Time Faces Places The Beguiled It Comes At Night A Ghost Story Killing of the Sacred Deer Brigsby Bear Lady Macbeth A Quiet Passion Columbus Colossal Princess Cyd The Work
  7. It makes sense, TFA had more rush factor. I believe seeing presales indicated TLJ's weekend was looking more spread than TFA (not sure but about RO though) Over 200m seems likely
  8. Honestly, I only see IronJimbo and jamescameronscholar pop up in these weekend threads during Star Wars movies, and it's usually to push buttons. Best to ignore them when's they're trying to do so and respond when they have something constructive to say.
  9. Also, if you look at Metacritic audience scores for games and such with big fanbases, there's plenty of cases where games that get raves by critics get torpedoed in the User reviews by people displeased by one aspect of the game or a decision on the game company's part or trolls (ie bitter fans that the game wasn't exactly how they envisioned it.) This hasn't been common on RT, but with the increased attention RT has gotten, and the Star Wars hardcore fan base looking similar to a video game fan base, you could have something similar at play. And if that's the case, then it wouldn't be indicative of GA reactions.
  10. The audience score is just to weird for a historical comparison. I could see the explanation that only hardcore fans have seen it so far and it's divisive amoung fanboys (but not GA). There were critics who said it'd be that exact thing. It could also be trolls that'll be washed out when everyone sees it. Maybe GA reactions are mixed. Maybe it's some of all of the above. It's too early to say one thing for sure.
  11. I'm definitely leaning on trolls, especially with the great Critic reception. It's really rare for a blockbuster to be loved by critics, have a confident studio and hated by the GA. I actually can't think of a case.
  12. I will say the first time I saw the trailer for CMBYN the age gap rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe the movie is doing that to some academy voters? Especially with the recent Spacey stuff (unfair but still)? However it's way too early to tell. Ensemble was very competitive this year, and CMBYN is a rather small cast. Snubs have happened before, and Hammer could still find his way in. I'd wait until we get some more guild nominees to decide. Plus, CMBYN has more acclaim than Carol, as it's winning more Critics awards and overall has stronger reviews. And despite surface level similarities, CMBYN is definitely less cold than Carol
