    This movie and the next one, taken together, may form a great whole. I certainly hope so. But this movie, taken purely on its own, simply wasn't satisfying. C.

    So, a real chance of a record true Friday.

    This will be the biggest superhero event ever, but it won't draw in the non-superhero audience the way BP did.
  4. Murgatroyd
    Watch it. Some of us are trying to avoid spoilers here.

    The history of 200M+ openers says that it'll end up somewhere right around 230M. They differ greatly in Thursday numbers, but true FSS performance is nearly identical.

    It's just one data point, but BP is one of the nine movies my not-exactly-local theater is dropping to make room for IW.

    My domestic comparison is Avengers adjusted numbers. BP is currently running about 10M behind and gradually gaining, but it won't get the sort of late boost that Avengers did with its Labor Day expansion. I predict it'll end up about 10±2M behind, for a total of 694-698M.

    That's easy to say in hindsight, but remember what happened to everything that went up against Star Wars two years earlier.

    100% tomatometer doesn't mean it's perfect. It means that everyone thinks it was good.

    You mean you didn't notice that Frozen was a superhero origin story?

    The entire MCU is built on taking B- and C-list superheroes and turning them into A-listers.

    WRONG. Generations can be much longer than you think. My grandmother, who is still alive, was born in 1924. Two of her grandparents were born in the 1850s. For a more extreme, and more political, example: John Tyler was born in 1790. He became President of the United States in 1841. He has two living grandchildren.

    Hopefully gnome ore.

    Entirely possible. It's going to have a $200-300M DOM advantage over Frozen, and $575-675M OS seems achievable.

    It's the one he rejected as too flashy.

    "The world saw a nation of farmers because that is what we wanted you to see."

    And the numbers confirm what we all already knew. The outcome is inevitable, and two of the nominees don't really belong.

    I just read the actual rules, and it's not as bad as the press coverage/word-of-mouth made it sound. It isn't a case of "everyone in the Academy can nominate animated movies"; it's "everyone in the Academy will get an invitation to join the nominating committee". Only the ones who actually do join, and who "see a minimum percentage of submitted eligible films as defined by the then-current procedures", will be voting to nominate.

    It's more than just an accent. Mexican Spanish is a distinct dialect from Castilian. That said, since they are mutually comprehensible, I expect that Spain will show the Mexican version to preserve the regional tone.

    Coco will win, by virtue of being the good movie that most voters have seen. In a just world, The Breadwinner would give it a run for its money.
  22. Murgatroyd
    Just saw this, at the only theater in my state that's showing it. It was worth the four hour drive each way.
  23. Murgatroyd
    I predicted that The Force Awakens would not be the biggest movie of the year.
  24. Murgatroyd
    Females 2-11, males 18-24 (and 25-39, as the original Bronies have gotten older over the last 7 years.)

    Production wrapped up last Thursday. Release should be this fall.
