Let it be known, that four years ago, I warned everybody what was going to happen. And like...I'm not wrong!

Would love to know the strategy here where you only have a whopping four PG-13 action movies to choose from the entire summer (Fall Guy, Apes, Quiet Place, Twisters). And I'm stretching things here hard for Quiet Place. This is just frankly inexcusable for the summer time, even if you want to use the strike excuse. Even just adding in Ghostbusters some time in June or something would have made a world of difference.

Planet of the Apes is gunning for 160M at this rate, right? Like at the very least, with Father's Day around the corner, that should be a good boost for it.

You’re an A24 type of movie.

The Brett Favre review quote SLAYED ME lmfao

Capitalism. Easy answer for everything terrible.

Well, I guess we'll have to move on, accept that the box office is dead forever, and perhaps just pretend to ourselves that Bad Boys opening in the 40s is good actually. I'm sure TV ratings forums, music sales forums, etc. have long accepted the old ways are dead and are never coming back and have found ways to cope with how low things are. And I suggest, at some point, you're gonna have to do the same. Whether you want to or not.

No offense, but I think you really need a break from this place if this is really hurting your mental health this badly. Your happiness being this reliant on box office numbers wouldn't even be good if the business was booming, and, like I always tell people, it's not like you can't just talk about movies elsewhere on other movie forums that aren't as focused on box office numbers. It makes no sense to hang out around a place you hate.

I mean we already used all those up last weekend. Don't know if we have enough this weekend to get to 20 pages.

Not sure about that. Following Little Mermaid, Garfield gets to 10.9M. Following Aladdin is 12.35M. Alice 2 is 11.3M, which is...basically what that movie's second weekend was lol. I guess it's not impossible, but it would need a really good Friday and Saturday bump, which I just don't see with its poor reception. Furiosa would get to 10.7M if it follows Maverick, though I guess it could get an okay bit above that. A Quiet Place 2 brings it to 8.5M, which...nah, it can't go that low...I hope.

Place your bets people. How many pages are we getting this weekend? I'm gonna say....8.

The tweet above mentions they have no plans to reveal a theater count nor any grosses. Funny how even ten years ago, this would have debuted in 2,000+ theaters and make a modest $45 million. Probably could have done something like that even today on an empty weekend and barren summer like this. But of course, these studios probably want movie theaters to die because capitalism or something. Pathetic.

I'm seeing Ezra tomorrow, because my mom said she saw an ad for it and thought she had to see it. I have no clue what it is, other than it has Robert De Niro in it.

Timothee should win, and the Academy are cowards because they won’t do it

I mean I didn’t recognize him in that photo. 🤷

I’m assuming this isn’t coming out this year after A24 dated a bunch of other movies? Little sad, but it’s fine.

Just imagine what these things could do if they were actually good.

Because movie theaters have nothing to replace them with.

Ghostbusters has better legs than Godzilla X Kong.
