The best Spider-quipping was in (yes I am saying this) Amazing Spider-Man 2. The first one had some but he came off as too cynical (the “car thief” scene that had everyone squeeing about this Spidey having the quips, came off as way too snide IMO). But the opening to ASM2 is probably the closest we’ve gotten to classic, quipping, 616-universe Spidey. It’s a shame that the rest of the movie was a mess.

FFH still #DyingOnItsArse and struggling to hit $150 million 6-day, I see.

Multiverse was alluded to in Doctor Strange, but the part about the snaps tearing a hole betweeen realities looks to have been pure Mysterio BS.
And that line wasn’t even in the movie. It may have just been a deleted line from the fake-exposition dump, or it could have been recorded just for the trailers (which I still suspect was the case for the many Mandarin lines that were only in the trailers for IM3). Deception-ception? Anybody hear a foghorn?

RDJ in IM was but he got overshadowed by Ledger hype and they wouldn't nominate 2 funnybookers. so he got consolation Tropic Thunder.
But that was a great performance, too. How many other actors have had two career-highlight roles in the same year? I know Richard Dreyfuss in 1977 could have had a Best Actor nomination/win for either Close Encounters or The Goodbye Girl and either would have been equally deserved (he was nominated for and won for the latter).

I am definitely getting GOTG2 deja vu with the possibility of “We all built up expectations that this was gonna be the breakout sequel, why is it only doing modestly better than the first?” (Though that had a bigger opening, of course.)

At an AMC for the first time in a couple of years for Toy Story. We are now on trailer #8. ARCTIC DOGS?
Arctic Dogs had better become the next Free Birds/Nut Job/Norm of the North around here. That trailer looked gloriously awful.

This ain't Charlie's Angels XXX
*sigh* I miss when porn parody titles were creative.

Ryaner was posting the same stuff on Reddit, along with an obvious sockpuppet account using the same phrases like “dying on its arse.” I like this place more because admins can truly ban people who deserve it.

This all happened with Homecoming too then it legged it out nearly a 3 multiplier. Cool it, folks. WoM will be great. Legs will be fine.
The champ is back to defend his title!

Joe Manganiello has always been my dream casting!
Were you aware that he was Flash Thompson in the first Raimi film? I assume so but still, that would be crazy if your dream came true.

Just come back from the movie and see all the fire here. Can anyone tell me that is this because of the 39M OD or some newly disastrous Wed projection?
If the former, hell yeah cry, only 1.1B.
It’s because of the early-Tues-morning $55M with previews projection. People are acting like it’s C R U M B L I N G because it “dropped” to $39M even though Charlie admitted he incorrectly modeled it based on Friday openings.
(Speaking of...can anyone remind me what movie coined the “crumbling” meme?)

I keep saying this, we all need to stop saying anything is “locked” because it always, always seems to come back and bite us in the ass. It is as if we’re tempting fate.

...what the fuck?
I think “JLaw unwatchable horror” was a reference to mother! Is that right, Valonqar?

Don’t worry, Charlie. At least your calculation errors didn’t destroy a $200 million Mars orbiter.
-
Because it’s a six-day opening, and the last good comparison was seven years ago? Forget everything you think you know.

Sony execs today...
“who the hell said we should bring our lucrative opening date forward to a day where some theaters are giving tickets away for peanuts?”
Sony execs today:
“Holy shit, we haven’t seen this much money in a single day since Homecoming!”
And I’m not joking, either. Sony has not had a single day where everything they had in release has added up to this much since Homecoming’s first Saturday.

Also with how quickly the cast is shaping this is definitely gonna start shooting in the next few months. I'll be surprised if this isn't the movie they have set for Memorial Day Weekend 2021.
If they want Memorial Day 2021 they’ll need to start quickly anyway. I’m sure will have almost as much “underwater” VFX photography (dry-for-wet + green/blue screen) as Aquaman. That started filming 19 months before release.

Oh wow, I totally dropped the ball and forgot about Ed Wood! That movie is great, too, it’s in my top 3 favorite Tim Burton films, along with Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure and Beetlejuice. (I have no #1, they’re all tied and I don’t like assigning hard numeric rankings anyway - I just know they’re the three Burton movies I like most.)

I am probably wrong but I think only 17 movies had more than 45 days above 1m (there is the chance that some old movies from the 70' and 80' did more days above 1m too, but I honestly don't really know)
Titanic (101)
E.T (80)
Avatar (80)
SW TPM (61) (Wed opener)
Finding Nemo (59)
Shrek 2 (54) (Wed opener)
Jurassic Park (54) (Wed opener)
Ghostbuster (54) (Wed opener)
Back to the Future (54) (Wed opener)
The Avengers (52)
Hangover (52)
Black Panther (52)
Incredibles 2 (52)
Shrek (52)
The Passion of the Christ (48) (Wed opener, the 48th day was Easter Monday)
Frozen (47) (Wed opener)
PotC I (47) (Wed opener)
Probably missed some.
You made a mistake copying, JP/GB/BTTF all opened on Fridays.

So sad. Woody Harrelson is wiping his tears with Benjamins right now.

It's weird because Zendaya recently denied it on twitter
Yeah, because actors and actresses are going to spill the beans about being hired for a role before the studio announces it, and NDAs don’t exist. Even if she has already been cast she would never affirm it on Twitter before Disney announces it.

Reach into a hat and pull out a Chaplin film from between 1918-40 or so, they’re all amazing.
As for Buster Keaton, of course The General and Steamboat Bill Jr, among others. And Harold Lloyd’s The Freshman and Safety Last!

Disney is not going to stop promoting classic redhead animated Ariel just because a different-looking live-action Ariel exists. They didn’t stop selling classic Alice merchandise when the Tim Burton fever dream was popular (though fortunately I never see any guests wearing the Depp hat at Disneyland anymore, it’s back to the classic green one for everyone now).

I feel like this was discussed here back then. The article specifically says that was the amount of money spent by the various promotional tie-in partners, not by Universal themselves. It’s the last thing I see before the paywall cutoff.
