Sadly, they have nothing.

Yeah, casting wise I prefer Holland and even Garfield to Maguire. But when it comes to the actual films, SM and SM2 are a good mile above the rest.

The fact you can't even remember the name of that Nickelback song disproves your point.

I disagree. While I'm sure Tom Holland is more true to the comics as Spider-Man (I did prefer his portrayal of the character and how it felt like he was an actual high schooler compared to Maguire), Raimi's films are endlessly more memorable. Their effects feel slightly dated now, but they were great and whole feeling films. I never got that timeless feeling from TASM series or Homecoming.

Thats true, but you also have to remember SM and SM2 came out prior to the great overseases expansion (which probably really kicked off around Avatar). Global markets began expanding rapidly around 2008 - 2011

Looks like the Tomato Law went rotten.

This looks like what would happen if they gave a Disney Channel Original Movie a bigger budget.

19.5m will put it just at or under 60m, that's below tracking and below Rise adjusted (also below Dawn). I'd hardly call that Tomatolaw working its magic.

The place they ended up was Mt Saint Helens, so that screws with the geography even more. The only thing I can think is this is a different continuity, and so maybe the Statue of Liberty wont be the landmark but the Golden Gate Bridge?

Another interesting thing to point out was that it was Caesar's mercy and ultimate refusal to give into the killing, or war, that killed him. He ends up offering mercy at every pivotal moment where he could have chosen not to, and the man who shot him is the man he spared.

1-2m is being generous.

Jonah Hex is the best comic book movie, it's pop art.

Bees? B

It's performing like a normal frontloaded MCU movie. It's the 6th installment of a franchise that features a character from another popular franchise, of course it's going to be frontloaded. Like I said last week, anybody who thought this was getting a near 3x+ multi was setting themselves up for disappointment.

The Tomato Law:

Compared to SS, MoS, and BvS? It was a muted OW, that's part of the reason I think its second weekend drop was so good (beyond being a great movie and the demographics of it).

And it had a muted OW because of it.

Technically Batman could be coming off two (or three if you count SS), depending how JL is received. I think people are looking for more fresh and new looking concepts and films, and not necessarily following the tomatometer and superheroes. Franchise Fatigue is proving to be a thing, and you can tell it's slightly playing a role with Spidey, even with it being a unique take with Iron Man.

There was another Messiah-like analogy with Harrelson's character, how he mentions he kills his son to save humankind. It's kind of a backwards look at it, because it ends up only showing him to be somebody to be pitied.

Dunkirk Previews over Valerian OW

I'm excited to hear more about the Suburban Fantasy Pixar movie, even if it isn't getting released for another 5 years or so (likely).

I saw there was a showing at 6, and bought my tickets online around 5:50, got in my seat and it was 6:25. There was one trailer left, saw that it was Star Wars, and I got up to go to the bathroom really quick and walked back just when the Fox fanfare started.
