I don't think you can really generalise "how expensive" an animation studio has been when they've only done 3 movies and all had wildly different budgets. Rango $130m, Strange Magic $70m, Wish Dragon $25m. The animation in Transformers certainly doesn't look like anything special so I don't see why $75m sounds too low. 75M sounds pretty normal for a mid tier animated movie.

How is that song the "biggest hit of the year"? Not by any actual metric.

I speed-read that tweet and thought that Harley Quinn was created by Aaron Sorkin..

RIP to a legend and an icon. I actually just got back from a showing of Revenge of the Sith. It's amazing how after all these years and after hundreds of rewatches, his voice still gives me goosebumps.

I very much hope this is the best Nicole Kidman MILF romance movie in 2024.

I just watched The Count of Monte Cristo. First time experiencing this story and absolutely loved it. Not sure when it's releasing in US but well worth a watch!!

Top Gun Maverick did very well OS.

absolutely insane opening for beetlejuice. also good to see two female-oriented films do well in short succession.

Maybe it's bigger in the US than it is here in the UK. I'm fairly into horror movies and culture and I've honestly never heard anything about the original film.

probably because those kind of high-concept movies don't really exist any more.

i love lady gaga but what the heck is with the House of Pigeons stans on here claiming it was a success???????? it performed poorly at the box office and was received poorly by both audiences and critics

Wow. 100M opening is crazy for a film I’ve never heard anyone talk about or reference. I thought this would open to like 40M.

I thought this did a great job of cranking up the tension, although it took a while to get going. Maybe I'm naive but I honestly thought the men seemed nice and I was curious about how the film would turn dark, as per the massive spoiler warning at the start of the film. It kept me guessing. I was wondering why Slater wasn't making moves on Frieda cause he was clearly into her. Lol. The more I think about it, the more I want to watch it again. I have a feeling that on second viewing I will feel like an idiot for not spotting so much stuff. The final scene didn't work for me though. I don't know how Frieda could have control over Slater. The memory loss perfume won't make him forget the previous abuse he did to her, and won't change his psychopathic personality. Also fuck the trigger warning. Spoiling the plot of a mystery thriller is a dick move.

Reviews from Venice were also mixed for the first film. Being polarising is not a bad thing. It helped the first movie.

Told y’all this would be a flop
