    Even though Universal/DreamWorks’ The Girl on the Train boasts a social media universe of 29M and a viral rate of 10 to 1, many do expect this chick lit adaptation to post around $30M in its first weekend, despite some naysayers in distribution exclaiming, “It’s not Gone Girl”.

    Looks like @ThatOneMorgan's curse might not work this time. ;)

    I don't get our obsession with budgets. Assuming we're interested in the movie in the first place, surely we want the best/most effort expended in making sure it's as good as they can get it, no?

     

    I know we love playing with fantasy numbers to guess profitability, but sometimes I think we forget they're fantasy numbers.

    Well with a lower budget, that means greater profitability and less of a chance of a movie to fail. A movie I like not failing = happier me.

    He's like 90% of why I'm stanning for Rogue One.

     

    The other 10% is reserved for Forest Whitaker's hairpiece of course. 

    For me:

    50% The potential the Anthology series could bring to Star Wars and Hollywood

    25% VADAH

    25% Amazing and beautiful cast of diverse and unique characters, all of them either up-and-comers, or severely underrated actors.

    In response to your spoiler-tagged bit, also

    Speaking of what's in that tag,

    Spoiler

    when Alberto got shot by Tanner, everyone in the theater gasped. And it was about 75% full, so it was pretty damn audible. It made me forget how wonderful crowds can be sometimes.

    So I know this is completely random, but I remember a discussion of how GOTG2 only had Pirates of the Caribbean as bigger budget film to compete with in May and how Pirates had Memorial Day Weekend all to itself and why a studio wouldn't move one of their bigger budget films to that weekend. Well this happened a few weeks ago but apparently Sony moved their Sci-Fi thriller "Life" to that weekend. It stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds and is about astronauts and stuff. Will be interesting to see how that film plays out (if its any good) against Pirates. 

    I see it grossing inbetween Alice 2 and Tomorrowland #s. But I doubt the budget will be anything extreme, so it'll probably be a success. I'd love for it to break out though; the premise sounds cool, and it's got my man Jake Gyllenhall. (And I assume you're excited to see Mr. Blake Lively in this movie. ;))
