  1. Vampyr is not a big favorite of mine but the atmosphere really works for me. You're right there aren't any overtly frightening moments but it nails that sense of a strange, boggy nightmare where everything feels off and you can't get a firm grip on it. It helps a lot that it's short. I don't know if you've picked your 1943 movie, but if not I hope you consider Day of Wrath which I think is Dreyer's best film. Far from the only great movie released that year, though, so you got plenty of options.
  2. In other news Paramount never gave a single fuck and stopped tracking Action Point after 2 weeks. Does someone there just really hate Johnny Knoxville or something? Total Lifetime Grosses Domestic: $5,059,608 Domestic Summary Opening Weekend: $2,390,164 (#9 rank, 2,032 theaters, $1,176 average) % of Total Gross: 47.2% > View All Weekends Widest Release: 2,032 theaters Close Date: June 14, 2018 In Release: 14 days / 2 weeks
  3. Couldn't help but laugh seeing the promotional still from Alden Ehrenreich's new indie movie in the context of the past month. More emoji fodder
  4. I'm not really rooting for anything. But I think it should be noted that Dory, Toy Story 3 and Inside Out, all of which opened on Father's Day weekend and had great WOM and huge grosses, all stayed flat on Saturday from their true Fridays.
  5. Will be funny if it turns out to be frontloaded and deflates from the insane predictions in the last 10+ pages to like a 160/500 run and movieman's boner was for nothing. I do think it'll do better but people hold your damn horses
  6. You know "oh wow look he has XXXXX posts he must have no life" isn't the position to take when it's attracted both thrylos and JCS within 24 hours.

  10. My favorite memory regarding Divergent is when a friend of mine forgot the title and referred to it as Degenerate.
  11. I would watch the fuck out of a movie where they're dressed like that the entire time.
  12. The slowest movie to $100m since Million Dollar Baby (150 days) was Passengers with 110 days. Wrinkle will be the slowest in the past 13 years if it makes it to the mark on June 27 or later. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/slowest.htm?page=100&p=.htm
  13. I like how Coolio dropped that bomb and just walked away.
  14. What, you expected anyone to invest their time and energy into seriously arguing with you after you insulted them with zero provocation?
  15. Oh no what is that I see it's millions of horror fans descending upon me in righteous fury. RIP me. bye fellas it's been nice talking to you
  16. Thank you thrylos I guess for discouraging me from ever reading the novel. Stephen King is just too accomplished and famous and successful I'm not worthy of wading in there. I'll stick with the movie.
  17. It's not in the theater counts section but according to BOM's pre-weekend article Deadpool's gonna be in more theaters than Solo this weekend (3,212 vs 3,182)
