Hasn't it always been Supes who's been front and center of the League?

Even though Wondy's Friday opening of $38.85M is line with projections that it'll earn ~$100M in its first weekend, I'm personally a bit disappointed because I was hoping that it would defy said projections and instead earn $150M in its first weekend. I thought that its positive critical reception coupled with its niche nature as a superhero film with a female lead would attract multitudes of women, even those who don't normally watch CBMs, and thus cause it to skyrocket way above predicted numbers. However, I still have hope that its positive critical reception and word of mouth will cause it to have good legs and drop at no more than 50% per weekend.

Out of F8's producer, writer, and director, I'd like to know which is the one that you guys think had the bulk of the influence in determining the film's quality? A lot of people seem to think that F8 is weaker than its three most recent predecessors and I'd like to know who you guys consider to be the cause.

Do you attribute what you perceive as the film's poor quality to its writer or director?

As much as I like MoS and BvS, I wish that Warner Bros. would have followed suit.

Subconscious association?

I had already discovered it, but thanks.

It's amazing that Disney frequently puts out films that earn $1 billion. Incredible. It makes me wonder whether Avengers (2012) became the first film in the MCU to reach this milestone due to the power of Disney as a brand or due to the quality of its franchisal predecessors. What say y'all?

Monday's numbers, anyone?

Explain, please.

What's the deal with these stupid "smurfette" substitutes for the names of certain characters and properties? Very stupid.

How do you think the live-action Ghost in the Shell's poor performance has affected Scarlett Johansson psychologically and emotionally? Do you think that she has become upset or depressed? Do you think that she's cried at some point? Do you think that she feels embarrassed? I'm genuinely curious, because it seems that she was really looking to become the face of a new franchise to grow beyond her supporting role as Sexy Franchise-less Smurfette in the MCU. However, now that the live-action Whitewashed Smurfette has failed, not only has this particular opportunity been lost but also any others that she may have been able to get prior; her reputation as a box-office draw has probably been tarnished.

It seems like blockbuster films are huge financial risks that rarely earn a profit. Considering this, why do studios make them? Why not constrain their budgets as FOX did with D e a d p o o l? I, as a moviegoer, enjoy the huge spectacle of these big-budget flicks, but I don't understand why their financial-backers approve them.

I'm rooting for this movie, because I'm a huge fan of Ghost in the Shell and enjoyed the movie. Why is it that when I type "G i t S" with no spaces, the term "Whitewashed Smurfette" replaces it? WTF?

According to Box Office Mojo, Ghost in the Shell is currently sitting on $124,373,450 worldwide. However, China and Japan aren't listed among the foreign countries that have released their box office data. So, what do you guys think?

Any numbers from Japan?

Indeed it is. It has the only true IMAX auditorium(s) in the city.

LOL. I saw GitS at the same theater and in the same format last Sunday. I also enjoyed it.

2nd-day numbers for GitS in China? How about Japan?

Hang in there, GitS. I love you and will see you again.

How do you think GitS performed on Monday?

Monday's numbers?

Suicide Squad?

Do you hate SS or something?
