Ps, another possible solution would be too only allow gifs in spoiler tags. Either everywhere or just in numbers threads. Im personally not fond of it, but it could stop people from complaining left and right. That way if you know the post is about Mal and you see the tag, then you know the gif is about Mal and you dont have to look at it and complain that that Mal is taking over. Just a suggestion from me. Gifs must be spoiler tagged in numbers threads. The thing is: how do you differentiate between gif spoilers and actual spoilers that might appear in a numbers thread? It's a tricky issue.

So, time for ranking: 1. DH2 2. OoTP (What can I say, I reallu love Umbridge ) 3. GoF 4. PoA 5. HBP 6. DH1 7. CoS 8. SS

I have too, but I never exercise at home. I just cant get myself to start doing it. On the other hand, at the gym that's all I can do.

Dat title

Why so low?

It's almost identical to the drop of the first Apes movie. So it's quite good I think.

HBP has a stunning cinematography. But everything else is... I made the mistake of re-reading the book a few days ago and then watching the movie. The dialog seemed so childish. Plus, the book itself is low on action so the movie is pretty uneventful. But some scenes, like the one with the cave for example, are truly beautiful.

Say what??

I know. I was just saying that regarding box office 2014, most movie hits fall in this particular territory. Kinda makes you wonder whether the next instalments of each of these franchises will be as close BO wise.

Well, I've been lurking around here for a year or so so...

Thanks

It would need an over 4x multiplier. Kind of Inception type of legs. Really dont see it.

Speaking of Christmas 2015, I think out of all the movies, I'm most excited about Inferno. Anything new about that one?

Yeah. But again, a lot of book adaptations were aiming for the same thing: appealing to a broader audience. In the and, it's all about marketing and Sony is no WB or Disney when it comes to this. And when you look at the YA genre, there are very few books which actually were successful as movies. But I hope it'll do well. Sound like my kind of film

It's quite popular actually, even though I haven't read it yet. Also, from what I hear, it's pretty good. But even so, it's nowhere near the popularity (or sales) of Divergent, TFIOS or Percy Jackson for example. But hey, it' Sony - not exactly the best decision maker, so it's not that surprising.

I wonder how soon we'll see the 3D re-release for HP movies. With it I can see at least 5 of them crossing the 1B border.

14th richest in the UK i believe. Forbes published smth about this. I thinks she's the only billionaire writer out there.

Great article. And I believe that the FANTASTIC BEASTS trilogy will continue the streak. Maybe not on the same level, but still huge. What amazed about HP was it's consistency and the loyalty of it's fanbase. The same fanbase or at least a big part of it will turn up for a movie that has JK Rowling's name attached to it. And if it's a good movie (and I dont see why it shouldn't be) and has a great marketing campaign (you can count on that. WB will probably push this like crazy), then the Warners will have another huge franchise on their hands.

The 400-500m territory is for OS markets what the 90-100m opening weekend is for domestic. TASM 2, CAP 2, X-DOPF, Maleficent and now Apes - all are in the same ballpark: big BO hits, but not giants like TF4 or the last Hobbit. A bit monotonous.
