MI:2 could have been good, if they had bothered to figure out the third act. It's got a great and really fun setup, but goes off the rails completely.

Just watched Heavy Metal. It has not aged well.

The question was why would people go see a film after the DVD was released. The answer is because some people want to. And, in contrast to the implication the original question had, this isn't something unique to Japan. Or women. Or Frozen. It happens with all movies, if they're still playing.

I do not own any superhero shirts.There is a movie that features prominently in my wardrobe, though.

The Ocean films basically live on the cast interaction. When I saw the first in the theater, there was a plot hole that completely undermined my involvement in the heist, but the cast worked so well I was still able to enjoy it.

Hmm... mentioned, but haven't done anything. Fun chapter, though.

That's actually really well done. What does this mean?

While Frozen is an outlier, in that it was playing extremely well in the US just prior to the video release (and the same in Japan), it's basically true that after the video release of any movie it will continue to get some theatrical business, if it's still playing in theaters.

I went to see it a few times after I got the video. Home viewing isn't the same as theatrical.

I'll take this, if available.

Changes from (Monday) & {last Tuesday} AOE 5.1 (+6.9) {-51} Tam 3.3 (+18.7) HTTYD2 1.8 (+24.6) {-31.1} 22j 1.7 (+9.7) {-25.6} ETE 1.7 (+31.6) DUFE 1.5 (+5.2)

If you want to talk about disappointing summer movie performance, you need to talk about The Lost World. I mean, it was coming off of Jurassic Park, which was huge. It had all the important people involved again. Anticipation for The Lost World was off the charts. And it opened huge. The size of it taking the opening weekend number was gigantic. TLW beat Batman Forever by $20m. That was insane. It was a full 36.7% higher, as well, which no film that's set the OW record has matched. The only comparable is Batman '89, which was likewise ridiculous in its box office dominance. It beat the previous record (owned by Ghostbusters 2) by 37.4%, but the previous record had only existed for a week. (And in turn, beat the previous previous record, Indy 3's, which had stood for just three weeks. The summer of '89 was pretty crazy, y'all.) So, it opened big. And in defiance for all expectations, it pretty much cratered. That massive $72m opening turned into a paltry $229m total. It earned an astonishingly bad 31.5% of its total in just three days. When you look at the entire Memorial Day Weekend, it earned nearly 40% of the total in four days. Clearly despite the opening, audiences just did not respond well. WOM sucked. It cratered for a few weeks and lost the summer to Men in Black, which showed that Will Smith wasn't a one and done superstar. Neither of them won the year, but that's a story for another time. Anyway. Big opening, bad WOM, disappointing result despite the pedigree. Sound familiar? The Lost World adjusts to a $125m opening and a $397m final. God, that would be wonderful this year.

I'm like the least effective and evil of the evil guys. So I'm likely going to die first. I suppose there's a chance of a redemption arc, but I expect death to happen first.

For extremely small values of amazing.

Do you think Avatar 2 can make more than $500m in China? I don't doubt that it'll do tremendous business, but that seems to be a lot, even allowing for 2.5 more years of market expansion.

Still no bonuses, but tied for second most points otherwise for the week and I finally broke into the top 40.

"Boogers"? Seriously?

Well, this thread is confusing, only seeing the reactions to the deleted post.

It's not an equivalent comparison. The presentation of male and female characters, and the tropes that apply to them, are not balanced and switching the gender of a character will necessarily change the critique and how that critique should be regarded.

I think a few people have, yeah. It's got a few fans.

Frozen Japan vs Titanic US comparison chart? I like that one.
