Is BOM down for anyone else again?
And right when you wrote that, BOM crashed on me. Nice job Eddy, you ruined Christmas!

I've got school on Columbus Day. I ALWAYS get school on Columbus Day. Why do you ask AC/DeeCee?

So this weekend is a battle against Gone Girl, Dracula, and Alexander. I'm really loving this October: lots of fights for #1 seem to be occurring.

Why Would Relativity Media put The Best Of Me in October instead of putting it in February or April???? Big idea!!!!!!
Because February and April were packed with major competition in both the romance genre and just movies in general? Big idea!!!!!!
But as for your answer, in many ways, February and October have changed. February seems to be where animated movies made by smaller studios are released (Escape from Planet Earth, Lego Movie, Spongebob, Illumination's Pets project), along with romcoms and romdrams, with the occasional action movie here and there. October seems to be a lot of horror, a kids movie here and there, and plenty of adult dramas/Oscar bait. For the other months, April, and especially March, seem to be giving a bigger focus on summer blockbusters, while August could make studios put less movies in the June and July area, and January...will still be where the crap goes. With the Oscar season and limited movies rolling in nationwide, January will have the movies that the studios know are bad and won't turn a profit, but a slightly bigger push on MLK weekend. September will also be filled with movies not as bad as January, but ones that won't get a big push on the distributor's slate, with some exceptions. Now I'm fine with how the release calendar works for now, but any change is welcome!

Shame. Boxoffice.com, while nice, had nowhere near as good writers as Ray Subers, as well as having a clearer calendar to show what's limited and what's not. Now what do we do?

Gone Girl
3:25 October 5th
Crowd: 40% full
Trailers:
The Best of Me
The Theory of Everything
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1
American Sniper
Fury
Exodus: Gods and Kings
I was planning to look at reactions, but there was a pretty obnoxious group behind me that got under my skin, but all of the trailers sans Best of Me interested me.
The movie itself was great, with great suspense and atmosphere and two leads with fantastic actors.

I don't really get how he shoves religion down anyone's throats. His movies deal with broad stereotypes within the culture he grew up in... and said culture has a strong religious component. If you disagree with that or any message/theme associated with it, then just don't watch his movies. It's not like he's going around proselytizing.
Well, that's what I've been told by people. I honestly have seen only one, maybe two of his movies, and they were just more boring than insulting to me. And in terms of Gone Girl, well, he was pretty great in the movie, but could have been better.

I've never really followed Perry's personal life, so why do people dislike him so much? I know of one good deed he did where a woman with cerebral palsy had her very expensive wheel chair stolen by some punks. He heard about it and bought her a new one. I know it's just one story, but he seems pretty cool to me.
People mainly hate him for his movies, enforcing stereotypes, shoving religion down people's throats, and not listening to critics. Or at least that's what I've been told. He seems like a nice guy, and I've heard he's good in Gone Girl, but I won't know until 20 minutes or so when I'm at the cinema. But frankly, I'm not a guy who focuses on ranting or complaining about stuff. I'd rather promote what I love than showcase what I hate. But hey, what do I know?

Honestly, I never followed the hate for Tyler Perry. His movies are clearly not for me, so why should I complain about him?

A Tetris movie from the director of Foodfight!...what world do I live in?
-
The Equalizer: $33M
The Boxtrolls: $14M
-
So I guess Death Cure will be in 2 parts and The Kill Order in 3.
In seriousness, although I'm not all that interested in the movie, good for the fans.
-
it's weird, but since The Watch he has been in nothing but quality.
Yeah, he's become one of those people I couldn't stand at first, but now he's become more and more tolerable with each movie he does. Who knew the guy who made Allen Gregory had talent?
-
Also both have Jonah Hill in them.

Y'know this just dawned on me, but does anyone think this weekend is familiar? A summer weekend with two sequels being released. One is a sequel to a R-rated comedy that was a sleeper hit in critics and audiences, and another a sequel to a critically acclaimed animated film, a Dreamworks film, with both being highly-anticipated, were the second iteration, and were released on a holiday weekend.

None of those is $180m budgeted flop ....
With 180m, you can try 10+ FAULTs.
Yes...but it is still a failure. For comparision's sake:
Beautiful Creatures: $58.9M WW gross on an $85M budget (This includes P&A for all the films listed)
Mortal Instruments: $82M WW gross on a $90M budget
Legend of Oz: $8.3M WW gross on an $85M budget
Free Birds: $101.9M WW gross on a $92M budget
21 and Over: $45.9M WW gross on a $35M budget
AMWTDITW: $50.2M WW gross on a $75M budget
Now I know what you're thinking: "But Free Birds and 21 and Over broke even!" It looks like that...however, studios and distributors only get half of the money earned in the box office. So, if you do the math:
Money Lost for:Beatiful Creatures: $55.6M
Mortal Instruments: $49M
Legend of Oz: $80.9M
Free Birds: $41M
21 and Over: $12.1M
A Million Ways to Die in the West: $49.9M
So, yeah, a lot of money can be lost for the studio, even if it isn't $180M budget.

Let's stop make male driven action films. They always flop or have shitty legs.
Let's all just make YA, animation, R comedies from now on. That's all audience wants. They can open to 50m off 12m budget. Easy money.
Yeah they always succeed. Except for Beautiful Creatures, Mortal Instruments, Legends of Oz, Free Birds, 21 and Over, A Million Ways to Die in the West, and countless others. All big hits.

I can't think of a WB tentpole next year.
I guess maybe Pan. Even then, Minions will probably overshadow it in terms of the family audience.

Comedy is subjective like a motherfucker.
Well, that's art altogether. What is considered lowbrow trash to one is something another person holds near and dear. And that's such an awesome thing altogether.
