Why is "ic" in lowercase?
-
Nah. Let it be another How to Train Your Dragon. We're in a position where there are now two Chris Sanders Dreamworks movies opening at the end of a month, and releasing just a couple weeks after a record-breaking Tim Burton movie. Wouldn't it be funny if it went like Mr. Lucas once said? Where it's like poetry? It rhymes?
-
That Australia opening is quite impressive. It's double Trolls 3 and Elemental, and only 200K less than Kung Fu Panda 4. Australia typically correlates well with the US, so maybe it really is going to turn out fine after all. Good on it.

More like Transformers Two, am I right fellas?

Oh believe me, I'm #1 in blaming audiences for the cynical way I'm seeing things. They always claim they want originality and something new, but they always return to old favorites. People are just fake fr

I mean there are plenty of NTCs or legacy sequels or whatever I like and enjoy. I just wish they weren't the only movies making money. When 80% of every movie that's a hit consists of these kinds of franchise extensions and little for originality or movies that are designed to be one and dones? I mean...even though I like a good chunk of these movies, it's hard not to be a little miffed or cynical about it. idk idk idk 🤷♂️

Because I'm bored and have a couple hours to kill before I see The Christopher Reeve Story.

Guys, Baumer's right. Nostalgia slop is the only thing that sells. If people see a Transformers movie with all the old cast members, they'd eat it up like piggies. I know we like to deny this reality, but the masses are like robots. They see things from their childhood, they move, no questions asked. It's as cynical as that.

GXK is the only good movie to make money since Oppenheimer. Now there are two.

Was shocked when I saw his name in the credits. Don't know what him and Plan B was doing over there.
-
Beetlejuice 2. Not that long ago hon.
-
Nah. It would have opened to 11M, everybody would freak out, I would be all smug and be all “remember guys, it’s not an NTC. People are too scared to see anything that isn’t based off a thing they already know”, people would be all “Eric, that’s not true!”, and we all move on. It’s a very predictable cycle, Maggie. I think we all know that.
-
Silver lining: it’s possible the whole top 10 will be 200M+ for the first time since 2019. We already got 6, Moana’s a near lock, and we just need some combo of Joker, Venom, Gladiator, Wicked, Mufasa, and Sonic. (Some are likelier than others ofc)

dude whatever I was exaggerating

Would die for him unironically. He deserved a better movie.

Maxus.

I'm honestly pretty pro-Bay too, and like most of his movies, but Dark of the Moon is the only Transformers movie I can ever admit to liking. All the other ones suck eggs, including the first one.
-
Because people will look at anything they saw as a child and will be nostalgic for it (granted also vulgar auteurism is the hip new thing to do). I guarantee in a few years we're going to see Seltzerberg get some sort of redemption arc and people will be talking about how Disaster Movie's a comedy classic because they saw it when they were 15 years old.

Saw this blurb from Deadline Anthony and it broke my brain. Like what are you even saying?
