$300M OW! Someone alert @CJohn

I'm 99.999% sure the thread is already made for 100M movies.

The best way of keeping Lego going would be to make spinoffs like Harry Potter. WB has easy access to Harry Potter (which Lego has been a huge success) and Lord of the Rings. But I agree I imagine Lego will take a back seat.

.

My ranking is as such 1 (havent seen the others)

you can still give opinion/prediction of how a film will perform before you know much about it. I mean, we have not seen a single frame of star wars episode 9 but I will tell you now that will be a hit...

Hopefully it's much worse, then it has a chance of outgrossing Bohemian Rhapsody.

Bohemian Rhapsody just made 800M ??

Jennifer Connolly in playful lingerie....

I would love Thor, Cap, and Iron Man to die in Endgame but after the disappointment through IW i dont have any faith that marvel is willing to kill off even a single character. Like I get it, you want the possibility of bringing them back for more movies, but do they really need to? The whole point of adding new characters is that they can replace the old ones. They now have Black Panther, Spider-Man, Ant-Man, DR Strange, Captain Marvel. Let the past die.

gonna see Lego 2 tomorrow. There is no possible way on earth it could be better than the first one. I'm expecting it to suck, hoping it at will be pretty good fun, but its impossible that it could be better than the first......

Getting out of the summer... I didn't really didn't want to watch ASIB as nothing about it interested me, but I was just curious to see Bradley Cooper in the director chair. Boy was this a pleasant surprise... great music, well told story, a romance I totally believed in. Wasn't familiar with the plot as didn't know it was a remake. I really regret not watching this a second time in cinemas. It's really stuck with me over the past few months more than other movies have. BAD TIMES! good times I had, at the El Royale. Like a tarantino movie but actually tolerable. some seriously great stuff by Jeff Bridges and Cynthia Erivo btw. This was extraordinary. I wasn't really sure what I was getting myself in for. But its Peter Jackson, so I had to watch it. There were two things going through my head when I was in the cinema: - does Peter Jackson have nothing better to do than compile old footage from the war? - why am I being given 3D glasses for a documentary? It turns out this was well worth being made. This documentary is revolutionary. On a technical level, sorting out the speed of the old footage (10fps to 24fps) by interpolating new frames; colourising the pictures; and overhauling it in 3D, is extremely impressive. Making it look like footage taken in the modern day brings the war to life like I have never seen before. I live near the Imperial War Museum (who commissioned this film) and have watched footage like this many times, never cared about it. Watching/reading about the war is boring. This film is not boring. Using technology to connect the old footage to a young viewer who is not interested in old wars. This is a complete triumph. Peter Jackson has pushed technical boundaries and opened up a new frontier of documentary filmmaking. I cannot wait to see what other filmmakers will do with this - I know we will see many more films like this in coming years. Now, another little film that I saw in November, you may have heard of it: Got to see my favourite film evs with the soundtrack in the Royal Albert Hall, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra - the same orchestra that performed the original score. (obviously not the same members but yeah) I hadn't been to one of these movie-in-concerts before but it is quite bizarre. for extended periods you forget the orchestra is there at all because they are exactly how the soundtrack goes. I guess that sounds stupid since that's the whole point. but it's very strange. Ive never seen Star Wars in a cinema before and although the digital projection was not incredible, it was well worth seeing. The actual highlight of it was seeing it with an audience - in this case, an audience of 5,000. I think it's sometimes easy to forget how funny Star Wars is, and being in a massive audience all reacting together was a unique experience.

He's not. Let's ignore this Twitter Troll and move on.

i just watched Dredd & Taken, both very rewatchable films. I will never not be bothered by the boat at the end of taken though. He storms on board a speeding boat on a river, kills all the baddies on board so he can rescue his daughter. WHO'S DRIVING THE BOAT?

Seems Legit.

You ok Hun?

Overpredicted? Sure. Who's fault is that? No it probably didnt do as much as Disney hoped but it will be profitable. After all that is the goal of making films, to produce more money than you spent on it, and MPR was a success on that front.

The animation is the most impressive animation I've ever seen.

Taken has just started on telly, in honour of Liam Neeson I'm watching it. Had completely forgotten that the daughter is traveling the whole of Europe going to every single U2 gig on their tour. Amazing.

that seems unlikely given that last year was a record high for theatrical sales. In the case of LEGO there are many reasons that may be attributed to this disappointment - but shouldn't be blamed on people not wanting to go to the cinema any more.

As long as they have written a decent human story to get us involved then I don't care the % or minutes:seconds that Godzilla is on screen for. The first movie did a great job of adapting Godzilla and managed to do it without filling the film with weightless CGI brawl crap.

Shut up alita is going to be the biggest film of all time this is proof

sounds awful.
