Anyone that thinks it's a bad move/movie already are pretty dumb.....
Surprised they went with somebody already. Good news nonetheless. I actually liked Blair Witch, so.....

It's funny how some people really seems to believe POTC5 is a failure or something like that.
For me a movie with + 750m gross with $ 230m budget is a great success.
Yes. Kong opened up to about the same, and was called a success. Kong ends up doing 565m WW and is called a win. P5 opens to 62m, and is laughed at, but will make that 750m WW easily. Not sure if I understand this logic. For a 5th film, I'm sure Disney is happy...

Power Rangers will make more than Alien Covenant (domestically). Not shitting on PR, but easily thought the Alien franchise was much much more popular here.
-
Not so sure Ridley's going to be able to finish the prequel-sequel Alien story now.... Terrible number.
-
I think 250m WW should give Ridley enough to finish off this story. I can only see Fox going with one more. It'll definitely be a lower budgeted film than both Prometheus and AC.
-
The ideal story line I would love to see the Alien franchise go is go ahead and let Ridley finish the story he's wanting to tell with one more film(might have to cut the budget another 10-20m)... Which will have to lead into the first Alien. Then pass a new trilogy to Neill Blokamp that still includes the Prometheus/Covenant/3rd film stories continuity.
I heard Blokamp wants to rewrite Alien 3 basically, where Alien and Aliens are still part of the timeline, but start over from there. Alien 3 and 4 would serve as a "alternate timeline" I guess.
The franchise definitely needs a fresh director.. hopefully Fox sees that, and has someone willing to play.

Definitely a not so great end result for AC after previews. Still it should do solid business for Fox at the end. Really want to see the conclusion of this story..
-
After a fantastic previews number for AC, and decent early weekend projections after that, 36m seems kinda disappointing.

I hope Covenant does well enough for a sequel.
I think it will. It's opening in a ton of territories this weekend. I'd say if it hits at least 275-300mWW, ALIEN: AWAKENING should be good to go. I hope anyway... I want to see the conclusion of this story and how it flows into Alien.

People trying to compare these to Alien and Aliens are just setting themselves up for disappointment...

I think AC will hit 50m OW. That's a great preview number. Kong did less than that(previews), but still managed 61m OW.
I will guess a 52m OW start for AC. It won't have fantastic legs though(like Prometheus)...

I'll post my more in depth review on RTM, but for here I'll say I gave it a 6/10, C rating. It wasn't flat out terrible as it had some good action sequences and some really nice set pieces, but other than that I hated the story. The plot to me was just too over the top, and although I liked some of the characters, they annoyed me more as really they made stupid decision after stupid decision. I can't say I'm dissapointed as I went in with little to expect, so my attitude to it is just blah.
I guess what is frustrating about it is just the fact that these movies were suppose to anwser our questions, and yet this movie just made questions and the few "answers" Scott gave us I didn't like.
Yes... Way too many questions left unanswered. Like...
how did Walter create the eggs with the facehuggers? How did he know that scenario would create the perfect alien, the Xenomorph? This really annoyed me, because I feel like Ridley really wanted to show how you get the Xenomorph after seeing different ways to get a alien in Prometheus and Covenant...
-
I enjoyed the film but...
one of biggest things I feel Ridley Scott is trying to show us is how you get the perfect alien...the Xenomorph. There's been a lot of different ways to get a alien, in Prometheus and Covenant. In Covenant we finally see it, but are we to assume Walter figured out how? How did he know you need a facehugger in the egg? This is where is disconnected and feel like I missed something.
-
Lol...Why do WBs fantasy films like King Arthur and Tarzan do bad? If Disney made these exact films would they do better?

Dinosaurs have wider apeal than superheroes.
I'm really curious what Godzilla vs Kong will do there in 2020... Over 200m?

Surprised by the low GV2 number.
As far as PR... Maybe toy sales were fantastic enough, and that warrants a sequel in itself. It's box office run has been pathetic though.
-
I think this will easily be the highest grossing film for the MonsterVerse, but I'm not sure what the high point for this can be. Maybe 300m Dom 800m WW?
-
Kong doesn't have a estimate. Surely WB didn't take it out?
-
Things seem much calmer this time. I think the strike will be avoided.

I'm just worried about muh Godziller.
It's been pushed back once already. I don't want to wait until 2020 to see Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Rodan, and Mothra on the big screen. But I don't even know if the script for Godzilla: King of the Monsters is even finished. Dougherty has been tight-lipped.
If a line isn't working while filming, Dougherty could just say "try this instead" instead of writing it down. Honestly I think GKOTM could be one of the safer ones.

Hopefully Hollywood remembers how damaging things were last time the WGA went through a long strike.
A lot of movies I care about are supposed to go into production this Summer. Just pay your people and stay on schedule...
Yeah... lots of good stuff.
-
What if a film's director is also a writer for the film? I brought up Godzilla 2 earlier, and remembered Michael Dougherty is a writer and the films director. Couldn't he just touch up the script during filming since he's the"director "?
