$1.2269B

Yeah it'd need Civil War legs for that.

You're free to do that of course but it does lead to unneeded confusion when people mean different things using the same words and concepts. I always thought it was natural to include the weekend itself. Besides, multiplier off of a weekend still gets you to a total; you just have to throw away the pre-weekend cume. There's no real difference except that the pre-opening weekend cume is $0 so it's easier to do there.

You're not counting the weekend numbers themselves. The 3x multiplier from 25 gives you 75 which should be added to the gross as it is before the weekend, i.e. 560m. To put it another way, when a movie opens with 100 and finishes with 300 we consider that a 3x multi because the 100 is part of the 300. We don't say it got 2x because it added 2x its opening weekend after that weekend. The same applies to non-opening weekends.

Ignore function is your friend.

Never knew about this, shame nothing has seemingly come out of it

At least it'll have managed 10 years

Yeah. Nobody noticed or cared tho

This better not be a one-time thing cause I'd totally apply for this motherfucker next year

R-rated movies usually have the best weekdays.

Whoa congrats. Just to watch the movies, work, or both? Have a good time, regardless. And sneak some reports our way

What's next? We'll find out that the actual is 8.276m? How much lower can this horrible flop go?

I read he just did a movie (The Last Movie Star) where he basically plays a fictionalized version of himself who keeps getting shit on for all the choices he's made in his career. Something like that. Guess he wants dat second comeback, if even on a minor scale

Seriously y'all like Moonlight so much you should see Medicine for Melancholy if you haven't, very nice little movie. Before Sunrise-esque.

well Moonlight WAS his sophomore slump

I still haven't seen that one I should. But yeah. His '60s westerns + America are awesome to watch in chronological order where you can so clearly see the ambition and scope just blow up from movie to movie.

That's more like it

Yes, like it being outright bad.

How bout Once Upon a Time in America. Sorta carries over the vibe of Godfather II's Vito in New York scenes and is just epic and staggering all around

Better watch The Conversation and/or Apocalypse Now if you haven't yet

Good enough to make me actively wish it were better. In the character interactions, the plotting, the aesthetics, and the oh-so-daring ending, it's the pull-out-all-the-stops season finale to a big-screen network TV show, which is not a new take, but the 10-years-in-the-making aspect makes this quality acutely felt all over again. Easy to rank the storylines in order of preference - everything involving Guardians, Thor, and Thanos when he interacts with any of them is tops, Cap and his crew are still mostly stuck in bullshit self-serious Civil War mode before finding themselves in the MCU version of Phantom Menace's Naboo battle (but at least Cap gets the best entrance), and Stark, Spidey, Strange etc. are solidly in the middle. Emphasis on teamwork and mutual help likewise isn't exactly new but is reinforced strongly and consistently enough that it comes back around to being dramatically effective - the glove scene is a tense highlight, and the sacrifices actually work. This is the first time I've been impressed by Pratt as a dramatic actor; when Quill drops the smartassery and desperately tries to make himself sound like the biggest badass in a moment of crisis, it's heroic and moving precisely because of how overwhelmed and uncool he actually is. It's the gesture that counts. On the ending: haven't read any detailed takes/articles/threads on here, but I was bewildered that the movie wiped out almost everyone except the original Avengers, making it all the more obvious how temporary this is. A truly risky, heavy move would have been killing off two or three people from the original crew for good, and leaving the remaining ones (Thor and Hulk, let's say) and everyone from phases 2 and 3 to deal with this whole mess in the next movie. As it stands, when you know that e.g. Homecoming 2 is already on the schedule, it's hard to care too much about this even in the moment, much less be haunted by it or anything afterwards. And that's a problem, given how heavy the movie plays it. It rings false. Apologies if you've already read any of the above a hundred times in the past week and a half.
