  1. trying to avoid spoilers from the star wars trailer so not going in the thread, whats the reaction from people about the trailer?
  2. hopefully no one involved in this travesty will be allowed to work on the TV version!
  3. very typical for this kind of flop film. studio has no faith in it (nor should they). the previous hellboy films did badly and they had the advantage of being good.
  4. Didn't know there was a TV adaptation in the works, thanks for sharing. Good book , good film.
  5. if you think she's hot, why don't you date her? Or have you got enough supermodels and actresses on your plate at the moment.
  6. went a whole weekend without drugs. may sound pathetic to you but that's a big achievement for me, feel pleased with myself. I havent gone a weekend without in about 10-11 months.
  7. pick of destiny is straight up a good film. Not a "so bad it's good".
  8. I for one think Rachel Weisz was incredible as the voice of the dragon in ERAGON.
  9. okay I hadn't seen that, I'd only read deadline reports and thats the number I saw. My point still stands: I will bet WB did not greenlight this on the hope of doing $350M worldwide.
  10. I thought this was fine, and I loved the design of the circus (dat train) & the theme park. a bit too long. Havent seen the original.
  11. endgame will not really affect legs, that's in shazams 4th week by which time it'll have made vast majority of its money anyway.
  12. No you are the one twisting things. I just said Shazam has done well. Who is saying they spent too little? What do you mean? And no you wont see documented budgets of movies, you never do, no one knows how much is spent on these we can only guess. Which is why I said "the best part of $200M", not "200M", i.e. somewhere in range of $150-200M)
  13. why would you doubt that? It's a full scale big budget superhero film, the fact it only cost $100M is a credit to WB for keeping budget tight. Also no way the film will do less than 400M off of a 160M opening and very positive reception.
  14. Shazam is not suffering from Captain Marvel and Avengers. It was never going to be a hit on that kind of scale. Ant-Man performance was always where any reasonable person was expecting it to go.
  15. deadline says production budget $100M, with marketing that will be near $200M. the point is it is a tentpole. under 400M would be bad.
  16. oh also yeah if Shazam doesn't hit 400M (with 160M opening i don't see why it wouldnt) then that would be a failure. I mean theyve spent best part of $200M on it, maybe more, WB would defo not be happy with that performance. For a tentpole superhero film to do less than 400M, when was the last time that happened? Fantr4nktic? Power Rangers? Obviously not a bomb on that level but it just doesn't happen.
  17. I would say the "mixed" reception gave it very good word of mouth because it's the kind of attitude of "you need to see it for yourself"
  18. Watching princess bride because it is just the best thing ever.
  19. I want to watch the last 25 minutes but really can't be bothered to go through the first 90 minutes again. Too much hassle.
  20. $56.8M opening is good. It's basically exactly what I predicted. So go me. Worldwide release bar japan means 500M is dead. Oh well.
  21. not really the same because that character was fully grown woman whether its meant to be 17, 18, 21 whatever. The main two kids are gonna grow up fast. I'm sure they can still find a way to do it but it would be a little odd to have 20 year old man turn into Zachary Levi. Unless they wanted to get rid of the Zachary bit and the kids get the power themselves.
