The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Poseidon replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Incredibles 2 will probably reach that $115m number by saturday night.... -
THE Incredibles 2 | June 15, 2018 | NO SPOILERS!!!!
Poseidon replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
I think it will easily beat Dory. Keep in mind, that on Sunday it should gain $10m on Dory, even if both had the same Fr/Sun. -
How is it mathematically possible, though? It stood at mid 60s with around 1700 votes yesterday. It's at 2100 now, so even if all those 400 votes were Likes, it couldn't have climed to 81% with it. It's probably the fact, that the "Want to See" votes are included in that number, so it's a bit messy overall over at RT.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

Adrift is a pretty good sell to start June with no competition. Had it at $12m/$40m in my monthly preview for the lack of sharks, but it might end up in Shallows-Territory. -
Well, overall, you chose wisely, what you see in theaters. At least that's what I do. If something overall is your taste, it's hard to go very low in terms of ratings. I've just had a look in my list and in the last 5 years, the only movies I rated with a 5/10 or lower are: Oz - Thre great and powerful 4,5/10 Hangover Part 3: 3/10 Pain & Gain 3,5/10 After Earth 3/10 The Lego Movie 2,5/10 (It might have been a bad day, but I'm not willing to give it another try, as it annoyed me as hell that day, so the rating might not be fair) Bad Neighbors 5/10 Maleficent 4/10 Transformers: AoE 5/10 And that's it. Out of 103 movies I saw in theaters since 2013. I went way fewer from 2015 on and did chose even wiser, so not a single movie after 2014 was a 5/10 or lower for me and this is great. I think it's a good thing to keep the highs and the lows for the really amazing and terrible things.

It's just the result of people losing the sense for compromises. It seems that everything is instantly bad, if something bugs you. Yeah, there are often things bugging me, but what's wrong about a good and solid 6/10 with some flaws? It's, by far, the rating I have chosen the most over at IMDB and it's okay. Life would be quite boring, if everything was a 10/10 but that's exactly what people seem to expect. I guess having so much in the western world transformed us into greedy little whiners. Because at one point, it can't get better than 10/10 and that's when frustration plays a part. Hype is a reason for it. So much is hyped today, but often, after the hype is gone, the 10/10 suddenly feels like only a 7/10 and well, psychologically, that's tough to handle. Short: We expect way too much and forget, that what we have is pretty great.

Yep, the tone in the social networks and the overall tone in the country seems to spread like an epidemic. There's a lot of negativity, created by a minority, that's still very effective in putting a dark shadow behind peoples heads. It's a weird time we live in. It's not a coincidence, that what people seem to search nowadays, are heroes.

I'm not sure that's it. I still think, that in a scenario, where Solo was the first, and RO was the second Prequel, RO would have fallen quite hard as well and Solo would have lived off the TFA-Hype. 6 months is just not working. Even more, with those issues around TLJ, still negatively effecting peoples minds and the press. Matrix Revolutions and Lego Ninjago come into mind, thinking about it. It's like delivering a free pizza to a house, that just had dinner. Some still eat it, but others just ignore it.
