I hope this movie doesn't only rely on nostalgia for the sake of making the audience feel nostalgic and being all like "Oh look. The Iron Giant. Something I recognize from my childhood. Pop culture! I automatically love this movie because of how nostalgic I feel."
Same. Nostalgia is a great feel-good thing, but a film can't survive on that alone.

"Aquaman doesn't quite get along with anyone, though. Momoa jokes that he's 'hurt and sensitive' and as a result distrusts land dwellers."
In other words, he's Namor?

Surely they're not going to be talking about JL for the next hour....I wonder what else WB has in store...
If they did, I would be disappointed.

ComingSoon's live blog is here for those who want to follow at home.
Last year I followed their live blog and it was static the entire fucking time.
I hope it doesn't happen again...

Still not feeling excited about this. A sequel never needed to be made. The first film had a conclusive ending with a nice bow on top.
The teaser did not help with that. Also....Ellen McLain? Really?

$10 million sounds impossible after the opening weekend Power Rangers had in Japan:
https://twitter.com/GMANonScified/status/886630447442264064
Even considering that Super Sentai movies typically don't open #1 in Japan, that still sounds very, very low for PR at $575,000. It has to be a major disappointment for Toei, since they co-own the Power Rangers property with Saban Brands.
That's a below average opening even for Super Sentai films. Kamen Rider films seldom crack $10 million over there, but they do so much better than what Power Rangers has opened with.

I want to believe, but Burton hasn't made a film that I liked in a long time.

You must have hated Avengers.
The characters in that film were already established. They weren't cramming several origin stories into one film. Sony's already done this twice with Spider-Man 3 and TASM2. And if they add another character that's supposed to turn into a villain or superhero, it'll be the third time they've tried pulling this.
And if you need a reminder, Sony is total shit when it comes to learning from previous mistakes.

Jesus. Did these clowns learn nothing from Batman v. Superman or Spider-Man 3? They're cramming too many character into one movie. Not a good support for your hypothetical tentpole series, Sony.

Well, it looks like they've finally started casting for this. Months ago.... xD

Chapman will play Mr. Jensen, an alcoholic emotionally defeated father.

I'm still seeing this on opening night.

WHAAAAAAAAT? Split and Get Out are both in the top 10 of all time for the genre. Both movies were acclaimed by critics, had amazing legs, and Get Out has big chances at getting Oscar nominations (it would be the first one since THE SIXTH SENSE). Both movies had huge cultural impact, and I'm pretty sure they'll be atemporal. We still have A:C and IT coming, two movies that are locked to explode, with IT having high chances at breaking records. Surely, summer hasn't been so good as last year, but the year has been phenomenal so far.
The bad ones really overshadow the good ones in my mind. I forget that Split came out THIS YEAR because it came near the very beginning of it.
-
Yeah, so far it's been a pretty terrible year for the horror genre compared to what we got in 2016.

How are they gonna explain Venom's Spidey like powers and appearance without Spidey's presence?
I realized this moments after I made that post, tbh. Then I just shut up.
You are completely correct. Venom was inadvertently created by Peter Parker, and Carnage by Eddie Brock. Maybe Spider-Man could be referenced, but that's not the same as actually having him on board.-

Dean Israelite is now blaming the PG-13 rating for the box office run of Power Rangers at Screen Rant. He believed it could have made more if it was PG. Of course, consider that it was flop internationally too, where they use other systems than the U.S. rating system.
Nah, it's because Power Rangers had very limited appeal before they made this film. Lionsgate/Saban were trying to sell the "nostalgia" factor, and their strategy backfired.
The only feasible market was North America. No other countries cared. But even the former's gross wasn't impressive.

While the topic has since been recently bumped, the movie's box office run ended last week on June 15th.
FINAL TALLY:
$566,152,812 WW

And I thought this was going to make more money than PotC domestically.
At this point I think I'm done with clubs. I jinx the fuck out of them. I thought this franchise still had some gas left in its tank. I suppose it still does....but it's depleted very much since 2014.
-
Called it. Cletus Kasady is Eddie Brock's second greatest nemesis, so it only makes logical sense that they'd insert Carnage into this film. No Spider-Man? No problem.
Assuming that Sony actually does have their shit together, which I'm still not 100% certain about.

First casting announcement has arrived from Hollywood Reporter. Zhang Ziyi has been picked for a recurring role. Her first appearance will be in Godzilla: King of the Monsters, and she is also slated to appear in Godzilla vs. Kong.

Nobody was particularly responsive to the trailers.
Trailers
Cars 3
The Mummy <---Currently the most common trailer I've seen in theaters so far this year.
Thor: Ragnarok
Justice League
The Glass Castle
There was laughter during appropriate moments. I think this was just a typical movie-going audience that wanted to sit quietly and be entertained, because everyone had positive things to say once the movie was finished.

There's a lot of things I could say about shin gojira. It having quality characters is not one of them
Compared to Godzilla, I mean.

I always liked people's complains about Edwards hiding Godzilla. It shows a total lack of knowledge of the film series, that just makes the irony of them all the more sweeter.
I wouldn't say that Toho are best known for hiding Godzilla, but the films always had more or at least equal focus on human characters compared to the monsters.
The problem with Edwards's and co.'s execution of the pacing was that they tried to pull that off in a two hour film. Unless we're talking about Shin Godzilla, where there are quality characters and an interwoven backstory to explore, that's a poor decision to make. The pacing has to be better in Godzilla 2 and Godzilla vs. Kong, or the negative reception will come back to haunt their box office draws.

Perhaps he simply wants to do something different after 40+ years in the industry? I'd be up for something different if I had a career as illustrious as his.
