Digimon: The Movie actually had a lot of bops that are still relevant today. It even featured All-Star a whole year before Shrek made it cool.

Please don't screw this up. Please don't screw this up. For the love of God, please don't screw this up.

Remember the time an actual politician quoted the ending song from Pokemon 2000?

He's voiced by Green Lantern, ya dingus.

From what I remember, the Digimon show was better than Pokemon. The characters in that show actually had arcs and backstories and things actually happened and developed. There wasn't some BS like Ash got in every season where he loses the big tournament and has to start all over in a new region.

The fact this somehow generated controversy still gets to me every time.

If nautical nonsense be something you wish...

It should be noted these parodies are nowhere near as clever or iconic as Zootopia was, amirite @cannastop @Jason

"Frienemies" is spelled wrong.

For the record, Follow That Bird's low-key iconic.

Also, isn't it a family film? Obviously if it was only getting like 1.5 million or less that would be troublesome, but family films don't really need blockbuster trailer views to at least cross $100M. Now, $277M? That's a toughie.

Why are Amy Schumer and Angelina Jolie in the crowd?

I still think it can cross $100M. Stuff like John Carter and Tomorrowland still opened above $30M, and with zero competition in its wake, it can still find its way to opening above that and getting a 3x+ multiplier. $33M/$110M

Dunston Checks In is probably the best movie Faye Dunaway's ever been in tbh

I saw the video version. Did he say his honorable mentions in the Soundcloud version?

Name me a scene from any of the movies that has an eyepatch-wearing duck with a laser sword, and the word "Nin-Jerks" actually stated by a character.

Nah son. I want a remake of that weird Mighty Ducks cartoon about hockey-playing ducks from another planet that fought reptilian aliens. I remember when I was a kid being so disappointed when I discovered the actual movie it was based on was just some dumb movie about Charlie Sheen's brother being a hockey coach to some bratty kids.

I haven't seen Pitch Perfect 3, but I'm certain that it's the best in the series because there's no DeVine in sight.

I have no idea what this movie is, but just looking at Adam DeVine's dumb face makes me hate it.

Probably in front of Paddington 2

Winter Storm Grayson (a giant blizzard impacting Virginia, Pennsylvania, New England, etc.) has gotten so bad, the theater I track presales for is shutting down today. After a Jumanji and Greatest Showman at 12:05 and 12:30 respectively, it's closing. They're still open on Friday to Sunday though, so don't be surprised if Thursday previews look rough for Insidious.

WIN #8 SPLIT "The broken are the more evolved. Rejoice." Release Date: January 20 Director: M. Night Shymalan Cast: James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy, Betty Buckley, Hayley Lu Richardson B.O. Gross: $138.1M DOM, $278.3M WW When M. Night Shyamalan first landed on the scene with The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs, he was hailed as the next Spielberg. Flash forward a few years, his name would become synonymous with garbage, ranging from disappointments like The Village, to “so bad it’s good” like Lady in the Water and The Happening, to dull messes like The Last Airbender and After Earth. By that point, Shyamalan became a punchline, a gag, a complete has-been. But in 2015, he partnered with Jason Blum and released The Visit. It received okay enough reviews, but was a great success, grossing over $98 million on a $5 million budget. At the very least, the film offered some goodwill to audiences that Shyamalan can still make good work, or at least work that's better than The Last Airbender. But while The Visit was a gentle reminder Shyamalan was still going to be around, Split was a battle cry that Shyamalan was not only still going to be around, but a force to be reckoned with. Thanks to a creative premise, a PG-13 rating that helped bring in wider appeal, and a unique villainous performance from James McAvoy, Split grossed over $40M in its opening weekend, gaining the highest OW since The Conjuring 2 in 2016. Considering that Conjuring 2 was based off of an acclaimed sequel, and Split was an original film (kinda), that makes it even more impressive. But what really sealed the deal were the film’s legs and staying power. While this year had plenty of strong legs for horror films, more often than not, this is a genre that’s notorious for being frontloaded, so when the film dropped 36%, 43%, 34%, 24%, and other stellar holds until weekend 9, it was downright shocking. In the end, the film managed to gross over $138 million domestically. Considering most people thought the film would, at best, cross $105 million, this was an amazing feat and outshined everyone’s wildest expectations. There are a lot of compelling reasons why this film held better than other horror flicks, but to me the biggest factor came to James McAvoy. Obviously he’s no Dwayne Johnson level superstar, but seeing him portray multiple characters with unique personalities, while still seeming chilling and frightening helped to make the character stand out as a horror villain, and seeing as how his perfomrance was the main selling point in the advertising, him able to pull it off successfully caused a huge boom in word of mouth, causing people to see how he pulled it off. Add on a twist ending where it’s revealed the whole film was a sequel to 2000’s Unbreakable, and it only helped drive word of mouth even further. Speaking of which, due to this film’s great success, a sequel is already planned, with Universal and Disney joining forces to releasing it. The sequel, titled Glass, will feature McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy teaming up with Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, alongside a new character played by the lovely and talented Sarah Paulson in what’s sure to be an epic Shyamalan event. Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint when it releases in January 2019, because as a proud supporter of everything and anything Philadelphia, I love and will always support my Shyamalan, even when he ruined one of my favorite shows of all time, and I want him to continue earning praise and adulation for his future features.
