This movie was all anybody was talking about - it was like you had to go see it or you were missing something. I liked it - thought Glenn Close nailed being terrifying & desperate at the same time. I pretty much like Michael Douglas in everything & Anne Archer was very good - the scene where she is frantically looking for her missing daughter in the car was dead on. I just thought the ending was a bit too melodramatic but otherwise a fun ride. Oh & that poor bunny - that really horrified me!

GA have no clue what Monster is about. It was a little indie very tough film that did well and won her an oscar but GA didn t see this film.
Imperiator Furiosa is for the ages.
Theron plays a real life serial killer - she was awesome in that!

They both fill that joking, super muscular cartoonish everyman niche to a tee, but from what I can tell, Rock's considered alot more attractive.
Yes definitely!!

He was hilarious & I don't even like wrestling!! My brother-in-law took all the boys to one of the shows & my son talked like Tweety Bird when he was little - he came home & said "The Wock called us white twash" - still makes me laugh!!
He is very charismatic!-

Yep... Spy, Jurassic World, Inside Out, Ted 2 and possibly (not a lock) Tomorrowland.
Tomorrowland would need something like:
$18 million ($68 million)
$13 million ($89 million)
$5.5 million ($98 million)
$2.5 million ($102 million)
$1.5 million ($105 million)
$110 million DOM
June 5th having no tentpole or family competition should help Tomorrowland get just past $100 million DOM in the end. Just barely.
Even though many keep saying "family film" I would have never taken my kids to see this based on the trailers - didn't strike me as a kids movie at all.
-
Why on earth would you take your kids who are under 10 to see something like this??? Does hiring a sitter come to mind???
Selfish & stupid - if I couldn't get a sitter I didn't go - simple as that!! I honestly don't know what is wrong with some people

I am more and more convinced that the San Francisco Bay Area loves sci-fi and that these genre films that underperform nationwide do disproportionately well here.
I know I'm using a reference pool of one showing at one theater, but at Regal Hacienda Crossings (who has one of the real full-size IMAX and occasionally makes the top 20 weekend engagements), my opening night 7pm PLF showing of Pacific Rim basically sold out, my opening night IMAX of Interstellar sold out, and my 7pm of Tomorrowland (in the biggest non-IMAX/non-PLF auditorium) was definitely more full than I expected. And it got a little applause too. Of course, it's opening night, and I have no idea how the rest of the showings sold, either on that day or the rest of the weekend (I do know that I bailed out of a 6:30 of Tomorrowland full of kids, because I didn't realize it was in one of the smaller auditoriums).
Oddly enough, I heard the theater staff talking about how Poltergeist had nobody in it (and surmising that it would fill up with 13 year olds by the time the movie started).
Just interesting.
I think it's logical - I would think people from Silicon Valley would be very interested in Sci-Fi

Cinderella continued its strong run in Japan to rank as the highest grossing Western film in the market for the fifth weekend and the highest grossing release for the year-to-date on $37.3m. The live-action release has amassed $71.1m in China, $30m in the UK and $328.5m internationally. The global haul has reached $526.3m.

One of my guilty pleasures - love the scene with Joaquin Phoenix in the closet watching TV & seeing the aliens for the first time!

Saw this in the theater when it came out with my friends - was very weird & creepy. I can still remember the Tall Man's loud footsteps coming down the street - don't know why but that freaked me out!

Have no idea still why the first one made so much money - when I finally watched it I thought it was kinda cute but definitely not as great as people were saying.
-
Cinderella is finishing its theatrical run overseas with style. The live-action fairytale added earned $3.3 million this weekend after another strong hold in Japan, where it only saw a 2% slide. The film has grossed $323.8 million overseas and $521 worldwide. Top performers include China ($71.1M), Japan ($33.7M), and the UK ($30M)

All the days are the same to me. I have no schedule in my life - so the days float through my eyes, but still the days seem the same.

Ultron isn’t the only Disney marvel that continues to achieve new heights at the international box office. Cinderella kicked up a much better than expected $8.2M(estimates originally had it at $7M) overseas to take the international total to$301.8M with a $500M worldwide total in sight. Currently it’s $495.4M. In its 8th weekend of release, the Kenneth Branagh-directed live action fairy tale is playing in 33 markets. Notably, Japan dropped only 9% and held the top spot for a Western release. The cume there is $15.8M-

But it's going against 4 major sporting events all day Saturday, including The Fight Of The Century. So AOU will get hit. The question is, how hard will it get hit? Will it be a love tap or a knockout?
No offense but every time I read this I laugh - this fight while huge doesn't hold a candle to the Ali/Frazier fights I grew up with but I guess this is a new century

Is that the redhead from Game of Thrones - the one with Jon Snow?

Cinderella danced to $8.5M this weekend as it opened in its last international territory, Japan. The overseas cume now stands at $284.0 million and $474.646 million globally. The Disney fantasy opened at #1 in Japan, picking up $4.8 million and grossing the highest opening weekend in 2015 for a Western release.

Because the more important your market, the more negociating power you have. 25% of FF7's gross will still be nearly $100 which is more than they'll get in any other OS market despite the 40-45% shares. If they're not happy the Chinese government would just tell them 'Well bye bye then' and they'd get nothing instead of 20-25%.
That's all well & good but I really only objected to that posters' use of the word "corrupting". I really don't know how HW trying to get a fair share of their product would be corrupting at all - it's just business.
-
Well that is the definition of corruption. Bribing someone to get what you want.
How is it "bribing" when it is Hollywood's product & they just want a decent cut from it?? 20%-25% is a ridiculously low share compared to the rest of the world. And you think China withholding payment to get a lower cut isn't bribery too?
-
I'll be shocked if the Movie Industry doesn't try to curropt Chinese lawmakers into getting a higher share of their movie's gross. I expect it'll come up to 40-50% in years time instead of the 20% or 25% now.
But why would that be "corrupting"?? Why shouldn't Hollywood get a bigger share of "their" movie?? Other countries are 40%-45% so why is China so low & they want it even lower- that one year holding up payment to get an even lower cut. If they want to see Hollywood movies - and recent box office shows filmgoers do - they should pay a fair price like everyone else - I see no problem with HW wanting a fair cut on their product.

I really don't see where they can go after here. It was a about Vin and Paul. there is nothing left to tell.
And that is why Vin will keep talking about Paul
He is very charismatic!

I think it looks fun - usually like Zemeckis's movies & am a fan of JGL - I am in awe of anyone who does stunts like that - just watching that trailer gave me a bit of anxiety - I will definitely give this a go.
