Considering how profitable and small-risk low budget horror can be I'm surprised studios don't push it more. It is what made Lionsgate big in the first place (that and Tyler Perry movies), before they taking on big franchises. Now they seem to have lost their talent with the horror genre, even though they are looking to get that back (they have 2 low budget horrors and a Madea movie in the next months). Their place as the lead studio in the horror industry seems to have been taken by WB. They hit big with that conjuring sequel this year and from the tracking Lights Out looks to be a big hit. And next year they have Annabelle 2 and IT. Both of them could/will be huge.

This reminds me so much of Death Note! -

Despicable Me 1 and 2 had pretty much the same legs as Zootopia. DM1 got 81% on RT. DM2 got 73%. Pets is at 79%. So I really don't see your point. -

You seriously have a problem with this movie. A few hours ago you were telling me to take a look at the buzz and tracking thread. Now you have evidence of that tracking and still dismiss it. But no matter, on it's way to becoming the biggest animation studio Illumination has to have some haters. -
China Box Office Thread | Deadpool & Wolverine- July 26
James replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in China At The Box Office
Look at IDR go! So 10b yuan possible? -
Wow, Tarzan's OW was really fun to follow. Went from bomb talk and sub-20m predictions to beating expectations every day and getting a solid OW. Yeh, it's budget is huge and that is throwing a shadow over it's opening, but let's be honest: that is good debut. I'm eager to see what it does this week, but if things go well, it should top 130m and it could go even higher. Really fun watching an underdog succeed.

Lol. But it really did have strong holds over the weekend and that A+ CS for people under 18 shows it is well liked. Also, the audience rating on RT is now up to 74% from 73% yesterday and 69% 2 days ago. There's way too much competition for 150m to happen, but I think with strong WOM 130m (basically the same multi as The Last Airbender) is in the cards.

How is that for Tarzan?

The Legend of Tarzan | OS Rollout July 2016
James replied to CaptainJackSparrow's topic in International Box Office
Is this from IMDB? Because in a lot of cases it's not accurate. Tarzan opens in Romania for example only next week. -
BvS had 27%, TF 2 had under 20%. It's not connected. Truth is I like big eye candy movies but I can't enjoy them for eye-candy alone. I want some relatable characters (like Shia's in TF) or some great themes (Power corrupts - BvS). ID:R had neither. It was like Emmerich decided: let's throw some scenes together and call it a movie. Seriously, who was the moron who wrote that script?!

Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)
James replied to Ezen Baklattan's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
Awful. Just awful. D -
Just got back from ID:R. WHAT AN UTTER PIECE OF ABSOLUTE GARBAGE! How did Emmerich, the man responsible for one of my favorite movies ever (2012), manage to fuck this one so badly?!! The characters were terrible, the plot was non-existent, the story was awful, the acting was awful and most surprising, the destruction porn was awful. Like, there's one good scene in the whole movie, the one with London being destroyed. And that's it. It was boring and predictable as fuck and I kept checking my watch to see how much more I have to suffer. I am so freakin glad it bombed because it so deserves it. Might be my worst cinema experience ever. I went into this movie expecting to be amazed, mostly because critics hated it and they also hated BvS (and that one is the best movie of 2016 so far for me), as well as most movies I love (The Hobbit, Transformers, POTC, MoS etc). Now I'm regretting I didn't go to see Tarzan instead...
