btw @Porthos CN's Mad also did a whole segment spoofing The Clone Wars. It's basically a more kid-friendly version of those Robot Chicken Star Wars specials

I expected that, since yesterday was a big promo day, and this still seems solid.

Disappointing to hear about its folding. I was never a subscriber, but I always liked flipping through an issue whenever I was visiting a library or bookstore. I did follow the Mad Magazine TV show that aired on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2013 when it was on though. It's certainly dated now, since it relied on spoofing whatever was topical in that time period (they did so many Twilight jokes), but it still had its charm,

The same joke three times in two hours. It's pretty bold of you to clown yourself like this so frequently, knowing in the end that everyone is gonna make fun of you.

I'm pretty sure Disney never had Depp's Mad Hatter as a walkaround character, even when the first movie was at its peak in popularity, so I don't see why Berry's Ariel would be any different. And I'm pretty sure the Pirates of the Caribbean ride was the only thing at one of the parks to see a notable change after a movie came out (but I wouldn't oppose to an Emily Blunt animatronic at the Jungle Cruise ride).

Y'know if they're already gender-bending Scuttle, I'd be very interested in her Under the Sea cover.

Not Chalamet, but I'd be okay with Harry. But if this goes to Noah Centipede or whatever his name is....

I'll accept whatever garbage this movie offers to me if that means Idris gets to play a character who never wears a shirt for the whole movie

I'm pretty sure the only option is Idris Elba.

Better yet, get Halle Berry to play Ariel's mom (she appeared in the straight-to-video prequel Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning, so might as well take something from there)

lmao it's just a kids movie bro

Top 10 Biggest Twists in Anime

(Chalamet also passes the "half plus 7" rule )

Actually looking further, Basterds had 70M and Django had 100M. Guess this is just the norm for Tarantula over here

I just checked Wikipedia (I know), and it states a 90M budget. I guess Sony really wanted to have Tarantino for their studio, and decided to give him carte blanche when it comes to money (Tarantino, Leo, Pitt and Robbie also probably demanded some pretty hefty paychecks)

So that would translate to about 175M or something, going by some of the number crunching you made a while back, right? You don't wanna know.

But even then, when you look at the data, stuff that opened that week still had okay drops. Sicario stayed flat, and Uncle Drew only dropped 13%. Tarzan and BFG did only 32% and 27% respectively, which is fantastic for a Monday. Lone Ranger increased for goodness sake. What I was trying to show is that movies don't drop hard, and that definitely applies to openers.

And no, I'm not saying FFH is gonna stay flat or anything, but it'll probably only drop about 15% or something from the 3rd to the 4th than "drop hard" like you're suggesting.

Wait, we could have gotten a Mad Men Lounge with this theme park?

That seems pretty decent. Hopefully buzz improves in the coming weeks.
