  1. They finished filming Spider-Man Far From Home a month or so back, so I think that will be the last time we'll see Lee in a movie.
  2. Forky will probably be an inciting incident, but I doubt he'll be the main character.
  3. I wasn't super into the teaser either, but I think y'all are overreacting. It's just a 90-second teaser. Not like the other initial Toy Story teasers were anything amazing either. The second the full trailer drops, most of you are gonna be all "ZOMG THIS IS AMAZING MY CHILDHOOD"
  4. YT Link: Dang, there actually was a crazy animation glow-up from 2010 to 2019. Also, this is the new plot synopsis on the YT Description
  5. Bumping this thread back since next weekend's thread will be a shitshow. Going on topic: Grinch had a great opening. It'll be interesting to see if it can surpass the 2000 film. With Fantastic Beasts and Ralph Breaks the Internet as big competition, it's up in the air. It'll also be fun to see how Grinch and Ralph compare to one another in terms of runs at the end (at the moment, I'm thinking Grinch will make more). Less impressive openings for Overlord and Spider's Web. Bohemian also had a great hold. Maybe it will find its way to $200M? At the very least, $175M seems like a likely bar the film will reach. Copying Gokai Red's posts The Grinch Current Gross: $66,000,000 The Grinch (2000): $260,044,825 ($194,044,825 remaining) Despicable Me 3 (top 5 Illumination): $264,624,300 ($198,624,300 remaining Home Alone (biggest Christmas movie): $285,761,243 ($219,761,243 remaining) Bohemian Rhapsody Current Gross: $100,010,548 Straight Outta Compton: $161,197,785 ($61,187,237 remaining) The Greatest Showman: $174,340,174 ($74,329,626 remaining) Double Century Mark: $200,000,000 ($99,989,452 remaining) Also, the box office just hit $10B in record time. We're right on the verge of breaking 2016's record, especially with how stacked the Thanksgiving and Christmas frames are. And this is in a year where a SW movie flopped. Crazy stuff. https://deadline.com/2018/11/domestic-box-office-10-billion-record-1202499830/
  6. If it follows the rest of Gravity's run: $211M Gone Girl: $205.2M The Martian: $206.7M Keep in mind, it's legs are already better than all of them at the same point in time, including Gravity. So yeah.
  7. A Star is Born has dropped sub-35% five weekends in a row. The last 40M+ opener to do that was How to Train Your Dragon. If it manages to hold well next weekend, it will be the first 40M+ film to drop sub-35% six weekends in a row since Avatar.
  8. Well I haven't seen the whole filmography, but I guess it's in the middle. It's a lot better than Lorax but worse than DM1. So it's on the same league of DM2 where it's cute enough and has a few good things to like, but still kinda forgettable. Take that for what it's worth.
  9. Ehh, it had a little too much annoying Jim Carrey for my tastes.
  10. Also Illuminati didn't "butcher" The Grinch. In all honesty, it's a pretty safe but cute little re-telling. Probably the best Seuss movie (objectively of course. I have a soft spot for Cat in a "so bad it's good" way)
  11. Deadline had Creed 2 tracking for a $48M 5-Day a couple weeks ago, which would make it the biggest Thanksgiving opening for a live-action movie since Four Christmases If it doesn't do that, BOT needs to just shut down tbh
  12. What do you have against this movie? Seems like half of your posts are trashing this movie’s performance
  13. Okay, Venom did it a while back. Interestingly enough though, it's now a race between A Star is Born, Grinch, and Bohemian Rhapsody (I'm sorry I ever doubted you Han). COOPS AND GAGA COME HOME (it'll probably be The Grinch tho...kinda underwhelming but okay)
  14. To be fair, very few specialty crowds will go to an average movie with average reviews.
  15. I've been one of the few to advocate for a mini-breakout for Instant Family. However, I do think the opening will do a bit better somewhere in the 20s.
  16. The Cat in the Hat for me is what The Room or Birdemic is to other people. It's an atrocious film by all objective standards. And yet, I find the film so fascinatingly bad that I find myself kind of enjoying it. The creative decisions made in this movie are just so mind-boggling that it becomes a movie like no other. And while stuff like The Room and other so bad it's good movies are indpendendtly produced and helmed by one crazy visionary, Cat in the Hat is the opposite. This film had a massive budget, major stars, and a multiple, well-paid professional producers who had to approve every creative decision. They looked at the horrifying make-up, the weird over-the-top acting, the Asian stereotype babysitter, multiple sex jokes, and a Paris Hilton cameo, and thought "yeah, this is okay to show to the masses." It's truly a fascinating and bizarre film to laugh and make fun of, yet there's really no other film like it. All the other Seuss movie adaptations are either amusing or bland and obnoxious, while Cat in the Hat is just...mystifying, and by far the most entertaining. There's my two cents.
