    JAPAN BOX OFFICE | Demon Slayer breaks all time record for OW

    in International Box Office

    holdovers usually experience a standard drop the weekend before GW

     

    numbers have been improving since last thur national television show

    The hype is on.

     

    Prediction.

    Sing-along has 70% saturation

    Dubbed 3d has 66%

     

    That could very well happen. Just based on that clip it looks like a large segment have already embraced the idea of singing the lyrics out loud for both the english and dubbed versions of the music. I'm loving seeing all of those people dressed up as Elsa and Anna and even Olaf  :lol:

    They've cleaned up Show Tyrion enough so that Sanrion is an actual thing now, like SanSan.  :blink:

     

     

    It is funny but also weird that all the ships for Sansa throw her at someone at least double her age already (and in the show like three times her age). When someone suggests someone actualy age-appropriate entire legions of online people jump down their throat.

     

    Tyrion is actually fairly age appropriate for her considering all of the other matchups in Westeros. What is he like 23-25 years old in the books?

    Finally watching season 4 , I had already seen s4e1 but its been so long I'm rewatching it since I'm determine to see the season through this weekAnd I'm remembering what happened , I got fed up watching a show about drugs,and I also saw a report on the devastation of meth in america and around the worldI let the product get in the way of good drama and storylineI loved the show so much I went through season 1 to 3 really quick couldn't have been more than a month or was it during a summer all I know is that day I was like ugh there's no one I really like or root for and skylar drove me nuts she's beyond infuriatingAnyhoo I'm giving the show a 2nd chance

     

    You can root for Jesse! And even after I started to hate Walt after the end of season 2 he is still such a mesmerizing character that you can't help but to pull for him a little despite his despicable actions.

    Well, he did appear as ender in ender's game last year which takes place when he was 6-10 ish. But considering nothing is in the works for artemis fowl atm I agree he would be too old for a future potential film. Missed opportunity :(

    The book series is finished so hope something materializes soon!

     

    I only read the first five books but I really liked the first three and the others certainly weren't bad. The story was refreshingly original and it was cool how Colfer handled the interaction between the fairy world with modern-day society. How many books did the series ultimately take?

    Silmarillion is even harder than LOTR.PS: My auto-correct recognizes Silmarillion. Wow. 

     

    It would definitely be an enormous undertaking and honestly at this point Peter Jackson probably would not desire to fully immerse himself for who knows how long in another dense Middle-Earth Tale. Even if he did I'm not sold that he would be fully up to the task (as of right now anyway). 

     

    I'd love to see the Artemis Fowl series on the big screen too, with Asa butterfield playing Artemis 

     

    That would be an awesome casting choice! Only problem is that he will shortly be too old for the part (I believe Artemis is only like 10 in the first book). I had heard of serious talks of an adaptation being in the works a few years back but evidently nothing came of them. Apparently Disney own some piece of the movie rights though so maybe something could be on the horizon in the not-too-distant future  :)

    Phillip pullman's His dark materials definately needs to be done. 

    The golden compass was such a disappointment though....I'd prefer that they just reboot the whole series

     

    Speaking of reboots, 20th Century Fox really ought to make a new Eragon movie to make everybody forget that travesty that came out a few years back.

     

    And if done in the style of the LOTR films (not like the Hobbit) the Silmarillion would of course be a great addition to the Tolkien cinematic universe but it would also be an incredibly ambitious project.

    The craziness is spreading!!

    Someone isolate patient zero (Mfantin) before he infects anyone else :D

    It's pretty much all gravy for me since it's passed TF3 so because there's no way I'm gonna be disappointed with the final gross now might as well go all in  :poker:  :bop:

     

    Anyway, if this week continues to improve on the last then it actually doesn't seem that far fetched to me with GW coming up and Frozen still riding a huge wave of momentum.

    Actually, every single Unsullied I know didn't find it to be a blight on Jaime's redemption arc at all. As far as I can tell, the Unsullied were more bothered by it being beside Joff's body than anything. It's the book readers that are mad at anything else.So, as long as the unsullied don't think it affected what they think of Jaime, it didn't hurt much.

     

    Well even if that's true now I can't see people ultimately embracing a rapist as a true hero down the road which imo is where he is currently headed toward in the books 

    If Brienne or Lady Stoneheart don't kill him first

    Its odd, I did not find Jamie taking her sister to be disturbing it was the setting more.

     

    The real world equivalents is like taking your sister in front of your dead son in St. Peter Basilica. 

     

    Well the scene is plenty disturbing in the books too but the reason I hate the TV depiction is not the strange and inappropriate setting but just the disregard for Jaime's whole redemption arc. And to be clear, he was always against rape, even as a teenager he voiced his concerns when the Mad King was raping his wife. There are numerous examples of this being a key tenet to his character 

    He also saves Tysha from being raped (there was no motive for him to save her as he didn't plan on Tyrion marrying her). He saves Brienne from that fate as well, an action that ultimately costs him his sword hand. And in AFFC he has one of the Mountain's henchmen beheaded for assaulting Pia.

     

    In no way shape or form would he have raped the only women he has ever had any romantic feelings for. What I hate about this is that it will put a blight on Jaime for many show watchers from here on out and cause them to dismiss the wonderful transformative path that he has been on since the end of book/season 2. It just makes no sense for the show's writers to change it and it really hurts the adaptation imo. What, is rough twincest next to the couple's dead son not shocking enough already? Smh...

     

    Btw here is a quote from GRRM on the scene (and how he was not consulted on the change): 

     

    “In the novels, Jaime is not present at Joffrey’s death, and indeed, Cersei has been fearful that he is dead himself, that she has lost both the son and the father/ lover/ brother. And then suddenly Jaime is there before her. Maimed and changed, but Jaime nonetheless. Though the time and place is wildly inappropriate and Cersei is fearful of discovery, she is as hungry for him as he is for her.The whole dynamic is different in the show, where Jaime has been back for weeks at the least, maybe longer, and he and Cersei have been in each other’s company on numerous occasions, often quarreling. The setting is the same, but neither character is in the same place as in the books, which may be why [producers] played the sept out differently. But that’s just my surmise; we never discussed this scene, to the best of my recollection.Also, I was writing the scene from Jaime’s POV, so the reader is inside his head, hearing his thoughts. On the TV show, the camera is necessarily external. You don’t know what anyone is thinking or feeling, just what they are saying and doing.If the show had retained some of Cersei’s dialogue from the books, it might have left a somewhat different impression — but that dialogue was very much shaped by the circumstances of the books, delivered by a woman who is seeing her lover again for the first time after a long while apart during which she feared he was dead. I am not sure it would have worked with the new timeline.That’s really all I can say on this issue. The scene was always intended to be disturbing… but I do regret if it has disturbed people for the wrong reasons.”

    At least I can understand making Tyrion St. Tyrion as little people get close to zero representation in popular media. But Cersei? C'mon, she really doesn't need this kind of sanitization at the expense of stronger characters like Jaime. It's the same old misogynistic belief that women cannot be close to unreasonably evil in stories.

     

    Yeah the thing that is really a head-scratcher for me is that on the surface the two Lannister twins seem the same in the first two seasons/books. But then GRRM made it a point to get inside both of their heads to show both how their paths are completely diverging from each other and that Jaime wasn't even inherently bad in the first place. But either D&D haven't read Cersei's chapters in AFFC or they just are belligerently altering her character for the sake of being politically correct or something because she is clearly a power-crazed tyrant in that book, much closer in temperament to Robert or even Joffrey than she is to Jaime.

    You have to remember that the Margaery/Tommen wedding is a pretty low-key affair and should just be one scene of five to six minutes at the most. It could easily be at the beginning of The Mountain and the Viper.

     

    The interesting twist on the show aspect of this is that the actor playing Tommen is about twice as old as the character in the books. At 15 years old I feel like he would be capable of and indeed expected to consummate his marriage with Margaery which could of course completely change the dynamic between Cersei and Margaery in the show as opposed to what occurs in AFFC

    My boy Jaime would have NEVER committed such an atrocity in the books. True even in the books he was a little rough with her but there is a HUGE difference between that and forcing himself on the woman he loves as she is ACTIVELY resisting him. An absolutely disgusting deviation from the book that is sure to turn show watchers sour on the "rehabilitated" Jaime. That this happened after all of the events in season 3 makes it an even worse change than when they had him beat his own cousin to death in season 2.

    Quote from BoxOfficeMojo's weekend report:

     

    "Frozen hit what's likely to be its final milestone this weekend. The movie held first place in Japan for the sixth-straight weekend, and has now earned an incredible $104.1 million there. In the process, it passed The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Transformers: Dark of the Moon to move up to sixth place on the all-time worldwide chart. It's also now the highest-grossing animated movie overseas with $729.3 million." 

     

    Why does Ray Subers and co. keep doing this to themselves? First, BOM grossly underpredicted the domestic take back in November even by the normal standard (which almost all ended up having huge margins of error anyway) but their's was particularly bad (didn't even have it beating Wreck-It-Ralph). Then on the holiday wrap-up/grading they basically just dismissed Frozen's run as a complete fluke. All of that could be forgiven since indeed Frozen's success did to some degree seem to "come out of nowhere". However, It's abundantly clear at this point that Frozen is a fully fledged global phenomenon that has yet to fall beneath it's OW in Japan and yet here they are essentially throwing away the possibility of it passing IM3 when that scenario seems more and more likely by the day.
