    FUCK NO.  She was awful in Pan and that obviously shows she didn't deserve any of this.  She has to keep a consistent acting record in her movies. 

     

    Jennifer Jason Leigh should've won, but of course, the Oscars have a Tarantino bias.  Sigh

    Hell no. People don't even remember who JJL is. What was the last thing she was in that people actually watched? Road to Perdition LOL. Mara's last big hit was Dragon Tatoo, but Lion's gonna explode in the box office, and she'll usurp J-Law's throne. HAIL QUEEN MARA!

    Guys, Suicide Squad dropped 79.4% from Friday to Friday. That's terrible. For example, other movies that have done this poorly:

     

    1. Captain America: Civil War -74%

    2. Twilight Series ~75%

    3 The Dark Knight Rises -76.6%

    4. Batman v Superman -81.6%

    5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 -84%

     

    What do those movies all have in common? Toxic word of mouth? I was going to say huge previews on Thursday, built-in fan base, and all that jazz, but nah...toxic word of mouth it is. 

     

    Also, another interesting point to ignore, Suicide Squad had crazy Thursday preview numbers AND Tmobile Free Ticket Fridays. Sure, the major drops seem to be associated in comparison to that first Friday, which just so happened to be special in at least two ways, but hey, let's forget that, and project the anomalies into generalities, just like the best numerical analysts.

     

    So to continue its flop status, like such other flops, Suicide Squad could do anywhere between 15m -21m Saturday, depending if it's WOM is like Twilight or if it's like Dark Knight Rises. Can't wait to find out!

    We get it.

    So today:

     

    Pete's Dragon first or Sausage Party?

     

    (Kinda disappointed with Pete's Dragon opening but eh, at least it only had a $65 million budget.)

     

    Coin Flip?

    Edit: Just go Pete's then Sausage, since the latter will probably have a bigger crowd at that time, and comedies are always great when there's a big crowd.

    Teaser clip apparently aired on the TODAY show, trailer on the 16th

     

    Well shit, looks like they aired an actual teaser trailer....
    Description from AwardsWatch

      Hide contents


    It was about a minute. Here's a rough description I did from watching it a few times - 
    It was a brief teaser. The footage opened with Amy Adams playing with a child with VO "There are days that define your story beyond your life, like the day they arrived". 
    It then cuts to her watching military jets flying overhead as she gets out of her car. 
    Cut to night as a colonel tells her to pack her bags.
    Then flying out in a helicopter with Jeremy Renner "Language is the first weapon drawn in a conflict." Adams replies "That's quite a greeting." Renner - "Yeah, well you wrote it." Forest Whitaker is with them as well talking about translations "You are on the top, everyone listening close to translations."
    Military V.O - "Priority 1 - What do they want, where are they from." 
    Cut a wide shot of the alien ship and the ships approaching it. Cut to Adams and Renner leaving the helicopter. 
    As Adams is suiting up V.O - "Not everyone is wired for what you're about to do" Renner asks "So what do they look like" in V.O as they approach. A reply "You'll see soon enough" as they are lifted in.
    Forest Whitaker in V.O "Every 18 hours, door opens up" as a hand runs against the wall of the ship. "That's when we go in" - Whitaker continues as it cuts to Adams.
    Cut to them being lifted up as "it's time" is said and they float up. 
    They arrive at the entrance. Adams asks "What now ?" Whitaker "They arrive" A noise is heard as it cuts to Renner and then Adams face as it ends there. 
    The title card appears - Arrival 
    Full trailer debuts - 08.16 
    In theaters 11.11

    Star Trek Beyond and Ghostbusters box office: What Went Wrong

    in Box Office Discussion

    Posted

    Star Trek's first trailer sucked, and it wasn't until a couple months ago when we actually got decently-edited promos and trailers, but it still looked like something that really only appealed to the Trek fanbase, with nothing new all that added to the table to appeal to newcomers. I can vouch for that, since I didn't care about this movie until I saw the first two Abrams movies on cable a few days before Beyond came out, and my enjoyment of those movies were what compelled me to see Beyond in the first place.

     

    Ghostbusters had terrible trailers, and a good part of its marketing was pretty much the cast and the director insulting the original fanbase, aka the people that would most likely see a remake of your movie.
