I see. Thanks.

LMAO VF opening! Why the heck McAvoy signed up for that dud? Red Dawn OW would be a win for RH.

I wanted to start RH Under $5M OW club but this surge in PS discouraged me. can it reach 10M?

well, you know, Jamie and Taron family members.

70% Audience score on RT is catastrophic for FB2 cause it shows that fans who are supposed to go easier on it do not like it much. Normies have no reason too cause confusing.

and unlike FB2, The Meg overcame reviews cause people loved the movie. WB had more luck with riskier fare this year than with supposed sure fire FB2.

FB2 is a disaster. BR is a beast. No way around it.

FB2 is crumbling for real.

RH is breaking out.

this is a great year for musicals. All of them huge hits, all of them different.

BR audience laughed in all the right places. it was definitely better received that Dark Phoenix. Spekaing of, can GoT actors just go away? Aidan Gillen was fuckin terrible as always in BR, and Turner can't act her way out of a paperbag in anything including that generic trailer.

Difference between ASIB and all those other Oscar hopefuls that didn't open well (Widows, Green Book, First man, etc) is that ASIB entered the theaters as a big favorite to WIN which gives a movie an urgency to be seen, as opposed to movies only hoping to get nominated. Granted, ASIB has more cross-appeal too as well as an actual star power (which Gosling, Viola, Viggo, etc are not) but being marked as a potential winner is an advantage over "maybe nominated, maybe not". Also, it was smartly released as counter-programming to Venom, instead of trying to elbow its way among direct competition.

P.S. Poor Glenn Close. No luck again.

Emily is coming for the wigs? Please be true! 🙏

I hope so. Fam wanted to see it again so we all went and it's even better second time around. Auditorium was full. People really loved it.

saw BR again. It's even better the second time around and Live Aid is the money shot of the year. Deserves every penny it's gonna make.

FB2 must be shit cause when I read spoiler synopsis I couldn't understand WTF was going on. Too many unnecessary steps to get from point A to point B and side stories that don't add up to the whole. OTOH, I knew AIW was going to be awesome when I read the synopsis and it was easy to follow despite different locations and abundance of characters. It seems like FB2 is a movie that forgot to care about the movie at hand cause its head was already in future installments. Well, looks like there may not be any. Drop's gonna be horrid everywhere and it has no more markets to open save 1-2, no? You blew it, WB and JKR.

If it isn't Tarantino's revenge fantasy that rewrites history cause that's the whole point, it won't do well.

If the movie's an attack on Cheney than right wing audience has never been the target audience and therefore flop or success is entirely on left wing audience since the movie's made for them. It would be like if a flop of a female driven movie was blamed on sexist men who were never target audience to begin with but floppage was due to women and woke men staying home or watching something else. happens quite a lot that wrong audience is blamed for failure.

Pull a plug on FB main characters or at least some of them and develop new set. Does anyone really care about Newt and others? I mean, I suppose they are likable but they are what Narnia kids were to Potter kids - no passionate fandom, generally liked but not obsessively so. Biggest franchises have at least 1, 2 characters that fans obsess about. HP, LOTR had them, Hobbit, FB didn't.

@MrPink Oh, I didn't know about Big Short's OS. Thanks! I think that Vice could have legged it up as the September/October release fresh off festival buzz. But they didn't take that route.

probably very little OS presence. Dick Cheney is hardly a figure OS would be interested in. So all money it has to make is dom.

60M for that? Yikes! Bomb. BKKK did well this year (15M budget/87M WW/48M dom) and it falls into adult arthouse, no?

BR and ASIB are rare adult fares that are huge without starring Leo. So far, he's the most reliable one to turn an adult tough sell into a huge global hit. We'll see how The Mule (Cooper who obviously has drawing power) and Vice (ditto Bale) will do.

Fingers crossed. it's a global phenomenon, the polar opposite of Girl in Spider Web that was rejected in every market anywhere.
