Isn't that the last major bookstore chain? Sad world we'll soon live in.

Has anyone told the Box Office subreddit this yet?

Bro, why the fuck are you so smart?

It's like you want people here to make fun of you.

@WrathOfHan If you say some silly-ass remark that "If Qween waz innit, then the movie would be better," I will buy a plane ticket all the way to Florida, track you down, and roundhouse kick you in the face.

I'm honestly glad that DC didn't fast-track Gotham City Sirens after WW's success. The idea of David Ayer, the dudebro-iest of directors, and that's saying a lot, making a female villain team-up movie is just...wrong.

I think the rumor has it that The Rock is supposed to play Black Adam in Suicide Squad 2, and he's supposed to be the bad guy the gang has to fight? Why? I dunno?

Also Clancy Fuckin' Brown Michael Clarke Duncan should have gotten a BP role btw. Man really died way too soon.

Poor @aabattery, but good for the rest of us.

It honestly is amazing how the VFX in that trailer doesn't look like they have improved at all from Cradle of Life 15 years ago

Come on bro, are you seriously trying to defend The Mummy?

Hence why I said "low-key racist." The shiz did during Uncle Walt's reign was high-key racist.

Does Prequel Memes allow Anthology memes?

Also of note, I just learned the little girl would later get on to a Nickelodeon version of School of Rock...and I just learned Nickelodeon made School of Rock: The Series...for some reason.

I don't think they ever implied how they died. But given that this was in New Orleans and the clothes the ghost wore were pretty modern, Katrina sounds about right.

I actually remember watching that show when it premiered. The little black kid later on went to that Dan Schneider show about the kids that created their own video game company.

It's still something that irks me. That's like the most low-key racist thing Disney's ever done.

The only thing I ever saw of the show were the promos that played during Phineas and Ferb reruns. I remember thinking to myself, "How come the black kid is the only person in the show that doesn't have any superpowers?" That still irks me.

Here's the difference though: Split was marketed as a "scary fun" kinda movie, and had a touch of starpower to it. Get Out was a film tackling a difficult subject that almost never translates to big box office and zero starpower, and it ended up in the top 15. Also, Get Out's legs are practically impossible to achieve for any other horror flick.

I feel like American Sniper was the biggest surprise. With almost all of the other films, you can make some sort of argument as to why they did what they did. Frozen had the Disney Animation and Disney Princess brand to it. Jumanji had an all-star cast. Deadpool was a superhero flick in the X-Men universe. Hunger Games was a popular book, and being someone who grew up during the peak of the book's popularity, I knew how popular the brand was towards teens. Even Blind Side had Sandra Bullock, and inspirational dramas like these have done well in the past. With Sniper? It had little going for it, outside of Eastwood and Cooper. I remember looking at Box Office Mojo every day, and when I saw that weekend number, it made my jaw drop. It was an R-rated war drama about PTSD with decent but not phenomenal reviews, and here it was making superhero movie numbers, both in its opener and in its final total. The closest war movie as big as that film since its release is probably Dunkirk, and I don't think anything coming soon will come close to it.
