    Who wants to bet James was throwing shit around his office in a huge fit of rage when he realized he was making Disney movies and that they’ll control when these things come out and they won’t be competing with Marvel or Disney films lol

    To be fair he pitched the original Avatar to Disney after Fox turned him down, it was only because Fox had ‘right of first refusal’ that they kept him onboard.

  2. If it makes about 215/216 this weekend that means the TFA to TLJ OW drop would be about the same as the drop from AUJ to TDS. If it ends up with the same multiplier as TDS it’ll be at about 757 DOM by the end of its run. I can’t see why it’s multiplier would be much worse than TDS’, let alone worse than RO’s (which puts it at 741, a good number still).

    If you want to know how they'd recast or change the actor for Batman...Flashpoint is a pretty good idea of how you could do it ;) 

    As soon as they announced Flashpoint I wondered if they'd get a Thomas Wayne Batman with Jeffrey Dean Morgan playing him again.

  5. The BAFTAs should really bring back separate British and Foreign acting categories. Blunt was the best part of Girl on a Train by far, but Best Actress nom worthy? Probably not. It's clear the BAFTAs have a bias to British actors anyhow, just make it a formal split IMO.

  6. The general criticism I've seen from a few reviewers is that the stuff in the past is good fun and a good movie, but it's the real world stuff that drags it down. It seems they took the worst parts of the game and made them the main part of the movie, which just seems stupid.

     

    Spoiler

    I don't know if this is a spoiler, it's a big part of the game, and all the reviewers have all mentioned it, but anyway why introduce the Apple so early?? It took multiple games to really even introduce the apple, seems the movie could've done with the same tactic.

     

  7. My local cinema, while definitely not representative of all UK cinemas was very busy tonight. Definitely and obviously not so much as TFA, but personally I think it was more packed than for any other major movie in recent years.

     

    Also who gets to decide what trailers play before movies? I found out weird that only one Disney trailer played, Universal got 3. Other studios got one each.

    Really good for Trolls, considering that it's going to go nuts on Tuesday.

    Is it that great? I've briefly looked at the numbers for animated movies that came out in the last few years in November and all have a similar Monday drop, some slightly better and some slightly worse. Seems pretty par for the course to me.

    Also how will election day effect parents taking their kids to the cinema? I would've thought it'd hurt the jump but soften the Wednesday drop?

    I don't think FB puts too much of a dent in Dr. Strange. That'd be the third weekend already. The vast majority of DS's BO will have occurred. Competition, in general, is so high now and we're seeing a boom v bust situation continuously with only the "event" movies really succeeding. Dory and Secret Life of Pets coexisted for example.

    Agreed, plus Iron Man and Ant-Man had to face competition in their respective third weeks, and both had fairly strong competition in their fourth weeks too - especially Iron Man against Indiana Jones. Plus Guardians of the Galaxy had to face Turtles in its second weekend, though admittedly GotG didn't have much more competition than that for weeks.

    I'd assume they'd change that.  The WW change in director still gave them 6 months of pre production.
     

    I assume so too, I just wonder what will happen to the timetable now for all the films.

    I still doubt that it's going to get an Oscar nom.

    Indeed, I imagine it'll be a fight between GKIDS' Miss Hokusai and FUNimation's Your Name, though honestly neither may make it seeing as how the Oscars only seem to appreciate Ghibli's work.

    Why?

     

    I ask because I don't know the actress and doesn't know much about the development of all this.

    It's not so much because of who the actress is, it's more the film is meant to be starting principal photography in two months, the last thing DC needs with its current Director crisis is a fresh casting issue. Plus it would be embarrassing to lose a key cast member so soon after losing a director, and if they kicked her out for whatever reason (which I find unlikely) then that opens a whole can of worms.

    I'm sure they're gonna get Affleck to make that Batman movie sooner than expected. Probably the closest thing they have to a "safe bet" at this point.

    Yeah, I reckon 2018 will be switched around so that Aquaman comes out in March, The Batman gets a July release date and Flash comes out in October.

  14. This is something of a double-edged sword, on the one hand I think Famuyiwa is an overrated director who, alongside what is probably a bad script from a poor screenwriter, would've IMO made an average film at best. Now they can hopefully get a better director in!

     

    On the other hand this film only has about two months before principal photography starts, no director, what is likely a bad script and now it's a bit up in the air if Clemons is going to stay as Iris. Surely this film is going to have to be postponed? I imagine it'll be moved to Shazam's position? Or the 'Untitled' October 2018 slot?
