  1. Phantom Menace: terrible acting, mindless plot, boring and broken story, I wish I can unseen it.....

    Attack of the Clone: Even worse, even disgusting acting and dialogue, the clone wars only started in the end, messy plotline.....

    Revenge of the sith, Too-packed, the end of clone wars + Jedi purge + Reveal of darth sidious + Born of darth vader.....too much defining moment in one movie, overall still enjoyable, I like this more than return of jedi...The palpetine really work here!
     

    What i dont understand about prequel is why George Lucas started the story with small Anakin? it was too backward, the 1st movie should be the preclude of clone wars event, Attack of the Clone should be the midst of Clone wars, connected the clone wars with the death of anakin's mom, while the last can be more detailed about how jedi defeated.

     

    TFA surely enjoyable and everytime it gave me a chill when I see R2D2 and BB8 completing the map together, the whole EP7 works like a transition ceremony for me from old character to new character. But i still wont give TFA a high rating because I knew why it's work on me, because I damnly love the original trilogy!!! TFA storyline of coz is working as it just "copy" the ingredient of OT and make a new one....TFA may not be a good sequel but surely a good remake.....

    It was 2 weeks longer in release than e.g. BvS, but less than typically more long legged holiday releases of WB see e.g. Hobbit

    It's not an award contender see American Sniper (that started rather small before going wide and as such has even more weeks in release) and it's release year shows other in-release-week-counts patterns like ~ 10 years back

    VOD/dics release starts way earlier now too, sadly. And is in discussions to get even earlier releases, incl the cinemas might get a part of that income for their to expect damages (for how long and ho much for how long...?)

     

    edit:

    acc. BOM, SSs last week was even higher

    Nov 4–10 25 $324,638 -15.6% 245 -87 $1,325 $325,100,054 14

    maybe they just dont wish that SS ahead of BvS, it would be very unpleasant for WB/DC to see their top brand lose out to SS

    Very good points and I want to agree, but why Moana does well in US? And why Frozen did well in "non-white" countries?

    well, the white-oriented hollywood blockbusters has long invaded non-white world, with all international appeal like Harry Potter, Star wars, titanic, ++++many more were all feature white, so why would non-white world come to against "white"princess all of sudden?

    Please read up on the background to that one (btw, it is not called Pirhanha 2, Pirhanha 2 got released in 2012, the Cameron 'involved' one is titled = Piranha Part Two: The Spawning), you might be surprsed and - hopefully - never list that one again. And just in case: do not fall for the so called directors cut, it is still the 'producers' cut, he was not involved in the cut of that 'film'.

     

    I disagree, there were even decades back not only a few people pointing out about calculating budget times 2 is too low, including for dom, but especially if a considerable part was made in OS.

    For films releaded in e.g. this decade I use times 3, especially if China's part is a big one (25% return for the distributors), For films e.g. out of the '90 I use times 2.2, depending on OS split even a bit more.

    normally I use weighted average method, splitting the gross into 3 parts, USA, OS without china and china.

    Example for captain america 3, $1153m WW, $408m USA, $555m OS, and $190m from china.

    Assume 55% for USA, 45% OS and 25%China: it would be (408 x 0.55) + (555 x 0.45) + (190 x 0.25)= $521.65 estimated revenue for studio, only then minus $250m prod.budget and many more for P&A to get net profit.

  5. Moana has one big disadvantage compared to frozen, frozen is a story about SNOW, which make it a perfect choice for christmas and new year, not to mention that year-end winter was unusually cold make frozen even more appealing to public. The blizzard that time was so insane until many people "thought" it was elsa's fault, therefore creating more buzz for frozen then make frozen extremely leggy
