Y'know this just dawned on me, but does anyone think this weekend is familiar? A summer weekend with two sequels being released. One is a sequel to a R-rated comedy that was a sleeper hit in critics and audiences, and another a sequel to a critically acclaimed animated film, a Dreamworks film, with both being highly-anticipated, were the second iteration, and were released on a holiday weekend.

None of those is $180m budgeted flop ....
With 180m, you can try 10+ FAULTs.
Yes...but it is still a failure. For comparision's sake:
Beautiful Creatures: $58.9M WW gross on an $85M budget (This includes P&A for all the films listed)
Mortal Instruments: $82M WW gross on a $90M budget
Legend of Oz: $8.3M WW gross on an $85M budget
Free Birds: $101.9M WW gross on a $92M budget
21 and Over: $45.9M WW gross on a $35M budget
AMWTDITW: $50.2M WW gross on a $75M budget
Now I know what you're thinking: "But Free Birds and 21 and Over broke even!" It looks like that...however, studios and distributors only get half of the money earned in the box office. So, if you do the math:
Money Lost for:Beatiful Creatures: $55.6M
Mortal Instruments: $49M
Legend of Oz: $80.9M
Free Birds: $41M
21 and Over: $12.1M
A Million Ways to Die in the West: $49.9M
So, yeah, a lot of money can be lost for the studio, even if it isn't $180M budget.

Let's stop make male driven action films. They always flop or have shitty legs.
Let's all just make YA, animation, R comedies from now on. That's all audience wants. They can open to 50m off 12m budget. Easy money.
Yeah they always succeed. Except for Beautiful Creatures, Mortal Instruments, Legends of Oz, Free Birds, 21 and Over, A Million Ways to Die in the West, and countless others. All big hits.

I can't think of a WB tentpole next year.
I guess maybe Pan. Even then, Minions will probably overshadow it in terms of the family audience.

Comedy is subjective like a motherfucker.
Well, that's art altogether. What is considered lowbrow trash to one is something another person holds near and dear. And that's such an awesome thing altogether.

So many people here are parents?
I'm not even in college.

I think this baby talk means it's time for me to go to bed.

I just saw an ad for a pee pad for your dog that has a bullseye on it, so the dog pisses there. They will sell anything

I just love how Disney thought Pocahontas was going to be their next Aladdin, and Lion King wasn't that important to them. Heh.

One of my favorite childhood films.
I was more of a Spongebob movie guy myself.

Might as well give my opinion on Frozen; it's good. However, I don't really agree with a lot of the praise. People claim it better than The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast, but I just don't see it. Now, there are a lot of impressive things in the movie: I like the sisters, their personalities, and their relationship; it's genuine, it's adorable, and as someone who has two younger sisters, I always do appreciate a movie that has well-written female protagonists. Olaf is funny (most of the time), as well as there being good laughs from the other characters. And the songs are great...okay, maybe two or three of them. And the animation is fantastic too. However, in comparison with other movies, such as Tangled, I prefer it more. Tangled had better characters, a more entertaining villain, a better flowing narrative, and just had better romantic chemistry. And while Tangled had two really great songs, and two others that were just okay, Frozen had only Let it Go, DYWTBAS, and FtFTiF as the highlights; Love is an Open Door was cute, Frozen Heart was forgettable, and the Olaf and troll songs were just obnoxious and terrible to listen to. But that's just my thoughts, so maybe I'm just an idiot who has no good taste, I dunno.

I can say overall I did underestimate the mutants
I overestimated. I honestly thought the movie would get over $100M. Now, it seems TF4 will be the only likely candidate, unless TFIOS pulls a rabbit out.

So I come back to this thread to find that there are about pages that I missed.
Oh brother!
I know that feeling. I want to read every page, but I can't do it; ain't nobody got time for that.

What if nothing opens over 100M this Summer?
I don't see that happening. We still have X-Men, Transformers, and Guardians and Ninja Turtles as possiblities.

Thanks for that.
That's why I said now.....as in now, not the past.
Oh. Sorry about my stupidity.
But that is true now that you mention it. In the comedy world, Rogen is one of the highest in the chain. I think the only one who rivals him is Kevin Hart now, since he became the biggest black comedian since Chappele.
-
This is the End and Neighbors were big hits, but Rogen was in many bombs/disapointments before that. The Guilt Trip, 50/50, Paul, Funny People.

I do like how this thread has the most random shit in it. It helps pass the time waiting for both the weekend box office, and, as a TV ratings/schedule buff, NBC's fall schedule.

Yep and then SM can be introduced into the DISNEY catalog in a Avengers movie. No more reboot introduction movies just establish the character in the universe and lets get to the real meat of the stories.
Even better, Fox gives up the rights to X-Men and Fantastic Four. With that, Disney has a beyond epic crossover with Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Spidey, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and any other characters they bring to the big screen (Dr. Strange, Black Panther) to fight together in an epic 3+ hour movie.
