Florence Pugh is 27. Basically a child.
Wildly irresponsible on Nolan's part if the phrase "different stages of life" isn't repeated every time they're together.

Indiana Jones would be a hit if it had a scene of him turning off Tomorrow Never Knows

Is there some running joke I missed the beginning of?
Back when we were doing the Zoom group watches, @MrPink treated us to Swordfish and some of us have never been the same.

SM for sure now that its Wed hold is better than WW. It made 2.83M on Wed vs WW's 2.76M. Since WW made 15.7M 3 day and 24M 5 day I guess AtSV should post similar numbers. Meaning 400M is happening. WW was gaining on weekends and losing on weekdays but this time AtSV looks set to match it on weekend so gap won't be big enough to miss 400M.
Animated films do better on summer weekdays than PG-13 live action blockbusters. Then they typically have smaller increases on Friday and Saturday.

You'd think Fury Road would have taught Hoult to stop worrying about hero roles and go on playing supporting weirdos.

Complaining about how difficult it was to recast Bond is quite ridiculous anyway, so would we be better off if the role ended with Connery and there's no Bond movie after the 70's? If you don't want to take risks you shouldn't be in the Hollywood business in the first place.
Because nothing says risk-taking like desperate brand extension. If you want to take risks you do what Spielberg and Lucas did in 1980 and create your own iconic character.

Do we need that many F-bombs or nudity in this movie.
1 hour ago, sabrecmc said:I do find it an odd choice to keep it at an R rather than trim whatever offending nudity or whatever is the issue because I actually think that would help with expanding its core audience of adults.
Know it sounds crazy but maybe the guy who made the movie knows what should be in his movie and why.

I know this is a hip new international diverse Academy but I'll believe in them going all in on a chilly uncompromising Jonathan Glazer movie when I see it.

Pretty sure Hartnett is now on record saying he regrets passing on one of Batman or Superman, so Hartnett of today may be wiser than he was in 2004 when he no doubt thought he still had a long run on the A list before him...
Looked it up. He retroactively regrets passing on Batman simply because he missed a chance to become a Nolan regular. (But now he's in Oppenheimer, so all's well that ends well.) On Superman, all he's got is stuff like this:
Quote“I decided to have a life,” says Mr Hartnett. “To put that first. That was always my goal.” It’s a theme he returns to throughout the interview, the decision, as he sees it, to prioritise relationships with friends and family over those with industry powerbrokers.
I feel very strongly about friends I’ve known for a long time and my family. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t losing those relationships. Those people make me who I am. I put those concerns ahead of chasing a Hollywood dream.”
Which you'd think you know without my help if you really cared about what your boy has to say instead of what could have been 20 years ago.

Hartnett was famous as 'young movie stars' get and look at his status today...
Quote"I'm absolutely not in the race to be the hottest actor," he insists. "I know what it's like to be in that whole world. I was up there for a couple of years and it was uncomfortable.
"I think trying to stay at the top is a shortcut to unhappiness."
That's a quote from 2004. Sounds like he was wiser about it then than you are now.

This one's not WB. Only as far as home video/re-releases, but originally they had nothing to do with it

Highest Grossing Animated 2nd Weekends
- Frozen II $85.98 (Black Friday weekend)
- Incredibles 2 $80.35
- Finding Dory $72.96
- Shrek 2 $72.17
- Frozen $67.39 (Black Friday)
Toy Story 2, 3 & 4 all check in at $57-$60M, and then then it really clusters starting in lower $50M range. Frozen is - well was - the only non-sequel in top 9, and with the benefit of a holiday weekend
Also: the highest grossing opening weekend for any animated film not opening in Summer (May-July) or week before Thanksgiving is Zootopia at $75.06, and Mario looks to be on pace to top that figure in weekend #2
67.39 was Frozen's opening weekend in wide release. It played in 1 theater the week before.
