even with current exchange rates here in the UK $9M is pretty weak for a 6-day opening. though its possible the first three days were very empty due to it being only in 3D.

Eh? To win the summer it only needs to reach $388M or so, so only needs $7M more... not exactly difficult coming off a $7M weekend.

Stunning conclusion to what must now be known as one of the best trilogies ever made. Star Wars and Lord of the Rings top this, nothing else.

That's literally the point of the series, why are you getting involved with Planet of the Apes if you hate the premise?

Yes, it's a reminder that fantasy action films could be good stories rather than boring messes.

About to watch planet of the apes and I've seen three adverts for products using Spiderman marketing. A clip showing Spiderman on his laptop and then, "See the all new Dell Inspiron in Spiderman Homecoming!". :/

Is that meant to be edgy? Is Chariots of Fire no longer a good film? I thought everyone likes it.

Reign of Fire is terrific. Love it to bits. The definition of underrated.

Excuse me for sounding like an idiot but what's Tomato Law?

Really hoped War would beat Dawn. Oh well. Will still make bank

I don't care how bad it may be I just want to see Cara Delevignes skin.

Spider-Man doesn't look very busy tonight here. Why are Planet of the Apes previews next week only in 3D?!?! Is this forced by the studio to get all the fans to pay that 10% surcharge? Fucking stupid.

Watched it a second time. Just as good. Love it.

how would that happen? isn't today the last day of holiday? or is Wednesday a holiday too?

No, it's not. I actually went in thinking it was a comedy, I assumed it was since Wright's other films have all been comedies. Took a while to realise it's not a comedy but, it's not.

Was he slow?

you're right Noctis, I cared much more about Sam Witwicky in the first Transformers than I ever cared about any of the characters in the Harry Potter movies.

rewatched it recently and while I didn't find it as life-threateningly dull as last time, I still think it's an empty and unengaging film. none of it serves any kind of purpose and I didn't care about any of the characters. Nothing interesting about it apart from the excellent Deakins cinematography. The brief shot of the soldiers one-by-one disappearing below the moonlight is incredible.

I maybe laughed twice. I like Dwayne Johnson very much and Zac Efron too but they really can't hold this rubbish together. It's way too long and didn't need all the action / spy stuff. But the main crime is just not making me laugh. I can forgive this though because of the things it made me think about that blonde one... man.

bay's immature sexual urges aside, the film is still absolutely fucking terrible. None of it makes any sense at all. In the action scenes you have absolutely no clue what's happening, nor do you care because the fight scenes are genuinely sleep-inducing. Dialogue even more cringey than the previous films, and didn't care for any of the "characters" (not a word I would use to describe any of the people on screen). like the last one though, the only good thing is Stanley Tucci. even Anthony Hopkins is rubbish. For however many millions he was paid could he not have thought of anything to do apart from pull his Red 2 performance?

well I suppose the problem is that Michael Bay sexualises absolutely everything he shoots, after all he himself describes his filmmaking as "fucking the frame", does he not? He is such a foul, inappropriate director to be making these supposedly-family-friendly films. And this continues from the last film where he had one of the protagonists literally defending statutory rape of minors. You can interpret a shot however you like but that was straight up objectively in the 4th movie. It is hardly surprising. And the same thoughts about editing crossed my mind too, but it just goes to show how much free reign Michael Bay has.

It's kind of impressive how Michael Bay manages to make each one of these somehow even worse than the previous one. High point of the movie: looking down the top of a 14 year old child.

Opening numbers always include previews.

it gets better the further into summer you go as people get used to the heat but the current weather is really unprecedented. It's stupidly hot. dunno how people in actually hot countries can live like this. on that note I can't find a fan anywhere, so I think i'm gonna go to tesco and buy one. i don't care that its half 1 in the morning if I can't sleep :/

Well damn. I had no idea cars 3 was out. also, fantastic drop for wonder woman. (i bet no one else has said that already)
