    Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse l June 2 2023 | Animators deserve better

    I thought the first one was great but not as fantastic as some keep saying (like a A- (3,5/5) I guess)

    But damn, this one...

     

    So great that when the credits rolled, I thought it was a joke because I didn't see the 2 hours 20 minutes go by. I had completly lost track of time. Really well written, still visually impressive and so creative.

     

    So only bad thing with it it is the fact it really is half of the story. Much more than it was for AIW tbh, made me think of POTC or Matrix 2/3 much more in this regards.

     

    BRILLIANT! 

    A+ (4,5/5)

    I’m not expecting any 500M grosser for summer but i’m considering 3 potential +400M grossers 

     

    Spidey can get there, Indy can get there and Barbie can get there 

     

    Of course it depends of many factors, but if everything goes right, i can see it happening

     

    Highly doubt any of these get there.

     

    Spidey is ~250m

    Indy around that aswell I think with a shot to 300 if really good.

     

    Barbie is a big ? for me but atm I don't see it above 150m.

    Scream VI (March 10, 2023)

    Think it was good. Maybe a bit over-the-top at some points where I thought we we can see the limits of the concept of the meta-horror-movie-genre. The city is not a gimmick at all and a nice element and there is some really good nail bitting moments.

     

    I still have a problem with Melissa Barrera's acting I must say I don't know why. All the rest of the cast is really good (Ortega is indeed above the rest)

     

    Some twists work very well (some just don't, the killer reveal is a tad disappointing event if it has good build up if that makes sense). 

    Didn't know the opening and thought it was a clever way to start it !

     

    I'd say a 3/5

    and something like

     

    Scream 1 (5*)

    Scream 4 (4*)

    Scream 2 (4*)

    Scream VI (3*)
    Scream 5 (3*)

    Scream 3 (1,5*)

    Only 230k admissions in France (NWH had more than doubled with 479k admits. Apparently according to some sources Disney France would be very disappointed with this figure given the enormous costs and marketing.

     

    Yesterday I was talking to you about 8M but apparently now Disney is hoping for even less and is aiming for 7 million admissions (it would be barely better than TGM and worse than NWH). If even Disney isn't positive it doesn't smell good ...

     

    Just to had some context : yesterday was France's Semi-Final in the World Cup.

    20,6 millions viewers (probably closer to 22 millions when including the private cable channel also broadcasting it).

     

    Biggest number since 2006. One of the top 5 most-watched program of all time in France. It oc had a HUGE impact.

     

    And with 7 millions + inflation + rise of premium cinema I think it is at least doing 75% of OG number. It's really good in France I think.

    I have to say, it's... quite something.
    Each actor seems to have had different instructions about the genre of the film. I think the movie is really not to be seen too seriously and that it is a real "camp" movie but not sure that the general public can appreciate that (especially over 2H40).
    I was really surprised by Gaga's performance, she reveals a comic power that is quite effective.  I almost want to see her in a pure comedy.

    Removed the films @Bastien said he hasn't worked on. Also did some reshuffling - moved Skeleton Crew up to April 13th since there's been nothing said about Black Friday (I'll move it back if you finish that though, @Rorschach), and switched the dates for Samurai Pizza Cats and Ta2ed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills.

    I won't be able to post a thing :(. Will def try to do better in Year 3 :/

    Don't worry that's definitely happening, we're just deciding on the 1st or the 8th.

     

    @Bastien @Electric @YourMother @4815162342 

     

    Does anyone need until January 8th, or are we good to set it for the minute before midnight, EST, on New Year's Day?

    I had a difficult couple of weeks recently..

    I think it's gonna be more calm now. I will try to do my best. My vacations are ending on Jan 8th so it would be perfect for me. But I guess Jan 1st would be good too.
