i knew i'm slow learner but i just learn that suicide squad has gone out from cinema!!!
Why? Like it or not, it holds pretty good, and still get $200k in its last week, why WB/DC pull it out so quickly?? they could have make a final expansion for this on thankgiving!
pulling out after three months is not that too soon for live-action blockbusters especially for front-loaded ones likes BvS or SS. Thanksgiving was already too packed and crowded and WB had to push Fantastic Beasts with full force, and even if SS had gotten an expansion it would have only had a minor bump like a million or two extra, so just not worth it.

I am aware, I still expected 'there might be a less than predictied actuals chart' = as in being prepared for a little bit, with the possibility for more, if the weather spreads.
A few percentages change seems the reason to be disappointed for yis, the snow in CAN was only one example = the sum of a few little reasons can add up to whatever yis seems to be disappointed about. Xavier too seems to be interested, so...
I do not think there is a reason to be disappointed...
Giving some ~ supporting words does not mean I think there is anything wrong with the numbers or that I mean the impact will be huge, only that there might be reasons, = to wait and see the actuals and if still not happy, try to find out what might have played into the difference of maybe too high expectations and the reality of the actuals.
yeah, that was just a nice pick-me-up which was just fine and enough.
I mean, I was just a bit underwhelmed cause I was expecting bigger Friday jumps for both of them like last week but wasn't really like, baffled cause they were still not behaving noticeably abnormally or anything, so the accurate analysis wasn't really necessary anyway.

yeah, Jennifer is just fine. maybe since we are numbers people that are box office/award show nerds that sometimes we are immune to greatness and fail to recognize it while always seeking for something even bigger and greater.

Probably 1,000+ on Christmas Day. It's expanding to 200 theaters next weekend.
hmm I see, that's a very lose definition of "everywhere"..
but hope when it's expanded to its max it hits 3000+. think most of the award baits do about 2700~2800.
-
so how wide are we talking, 3000+?

T.J. Miller has been arrested on the same day his new movie opens. And he's supposed to be hosting the Critics Choice Awards on Sunday. I'm screaming.

We almost had Eddie Redmayne in this too and thank god that didn't happen. Not a fan.
yikes. I have no problems with him but no Eddie for this role. No offense but it would've felt kinda shrill.

this is the second movie I liked Ryan Gosling in this year. The first was Nice Guys. He is good at playing likable but imperfect.
yeah, I totally agree. I think his own persona really makes those imperfect characters much more bearable and even likable.
Oscar Isaac comes close for that feat in my mind. If it weren't for him I would've despised the character Llewyn Davis so much.

This movie is sheer fun and beautiful. Having grown up in the Hollywood Hills, where a lot of it was filmed, didn't hurt.
I was mere a tourist in LA somewhat recently and even I felt nostalgic for some sceneries.
that Griffith observatory scene tho, it didn't add up. there were precisely 2 million people when I got there....

So is the movie set in modern times, or is it set further in the past, like the 1950s?
in modern times, with characters using iPhone and stuff, all contemporary. but it has the timeless vibe to it as if it's from any era, but mostly it's an homage to the 50s-60s classics.

can you imagine a Miles Teller version of the scene where
Sebastian just rudely passed over Mia after he got fired
that would have been soooooo painfully douchebagary

This movie probably gives diabetes.
42 minutes ago, JennaJ said:It's actually pretty bittersweet. It's not as "saccharine love affair" as you may assume, though it is very romantic.
I'd even say it was more bitter than sweet, actually.

yeah, think Zootopia pretty much locked this with that AFI win. Its PGA win will be just nail on the coffin for other contenders.

No, you are not, a bit being tired (pre-X-Mas e.g.) and I can fully understand that black on black is a bit much
Do you see quotes with a brighter background?
haha think you are already doing more than enough and we really appreciate it
if I may suggest, how about making a screencap and post it as an image file?

That uber confidence with no reason other than "well Frozen and Zoo" did is what made most of them seem like loonies and those of us who are going to be in the right ballpark were made to feel crazy lol - in other words, normal behavior from BOT.
When sing inevitably does whatever it will (over or under) the various crowds will be crowing again (same with R1). Its the cycle on these boards.
true, true. after all, the majority here that is Sing over $300M club doesn't seem too much different than "well Minions and Pets", too
the cycle is such an adrenaline rush and maybe that's why BOT members love underperformance as much as overperformance.

having seen this I thank god Miles Teller-Emma Watson didn't happen. It would have set the entirely different, much less pleasant tone.

Imagine if BO.com low prediction for Sing turns out accurate.
that is still lowballing imo, but they did recently up their prediction to $165M. if the Wrap's high end ($80M 6-day) prediction is accurate then it could still go way up north $300M. I think maybe it could go either way? collider gave a $245M prediction while the numbers.com had it at $150M.
Seeing Zootopia, TJB and even Pets (cause this one was highly anticipated already while it even exceeded that), guess family films are more difficult to predict cause even though it depends much more on walk-ins than presales it's harder to feel the actual hype around you unless you have kids in your family. and Social media buzz is kinda all over the place, too (minus Dory). Take Sing for example, its 49M trailer views and facebook tracking look very promising and I also hear a lot of positive anecdotal evidence online; how kids are dying to see it and theatres are selling advance tickets way sooner than usual, etc. etc , but otoh it has almost zero presence on twitter (less than 100 daily tweets according to BO pro) and the numbers.com says the overall buzz is quiet even for a family film.

This weekend will also be about the same as TS2's 3rd weekend, the 4th weekend and the 21st are crucial for it and will let us know where it ends up. Still wondering why most people expected Frozen level numbers from Moana before release.
14 minutes ago, cannastop said:Well, in fairness, WDAS's previous movie was a mini-Frozen. You just had to connect the dots.
I don't think there was really an "over-Frozen club" tho, no? people were indeed very confident with its $300M chance but I don't think that was too crazy given the current track record and the circumstances.
I mean, I was just a bit underwhelmed cause I was expecting bigger Friday jumps for both of them like last week but wasn't really like, baffled cause they were still not behaving noticeably abnormally or anything, so the accurate analysis wasn't really necessary anyway.
