flash under 100m train here we go baby, what are the lottery numbers @ whoever made that club

i get your point with this post but i’m not sure your tone is in the best taste lol. like, even if people on twitter can be loud/annoying about it, it’s objectively a good thing that we have made social progress on how we view age of consent laws, power dynamics & age gaps and it feels weird to indicate otherwise?? 😀

bummed i missed the coda discourse but as an actual coda myself i really don’t like the movie and find it to be both an oversimplification of deaf family dynamics and a disservice to codas & deaf parents— ESPECIALLY don’t like how they use her love of music as a source of tension/conflict, especially when virtually any deaf person i know would not react angrily about their hearing child wanting to sing. sound of metal slams if you’re looking for a movie w good deaf representation imo

it’s kind of baffling how WB has managed to implode goodwill for its two biggest franchises so completely (DC & harry potter) — due in part to bad actors like ezra miller & jk rowling, yes, but mostly due to a series of really stupid, entirely avoidable creative decisions and just a glut of terrible product. the last 5-10 years should go down in history as a cautionary tale of how to alienate hardcore fans and general audiences at the same time. james gunn has his fucking work cut out for him that’s for sure.

people coping rn is crazy. how is there even room for it with this movie anymore. it’s done! it’s catastrophic! flash is not doing anywhere close to 3x with this kind of WOM and buzz, and even *if* it did that would still be what, 165? under black adam and way below basically everyone’s expectations just a few weeks ago? what is left to cope about?

i liked it more than i expected, but am i the only one who found ezra miller kinda laughably bad in this? they were okay as past barry but future barry just genuinely has some of the most off-putting line delivery and expressiveness i’ve seen in a major blockbuster. not sure if that’s just hindsight with me knowing everything about miller’s background though.

throwback to when i was a lurker here in 2013 and people were doing insane meltdown backflips over man of steel ”flopping” to $116m ow — now 10 years later the dceu dies with a whimper as flash struggles to match that for its **total**

green lantern 2011 over flash DOM looking…possible? likely?

saw spiderverse matinee at 2pm and flash IMAX at 5:30. spidey was packed — basically no empty seats other than the front — and flash had exactly *four* people besides me and my friends weirdly, reactions seemed to be more positive to the movie’s humor than any of the cameos/fan service lol

spiderverse is peak btw 10/10

anyone else get a trailer for that gran turismo thing in their showing? heard people having a good chuckle in my theater over that one

gonna be very hard for guardians to drop under 50% this weekend i feel like, just given the amount of screens it'll lose and assuming a 25-30% drop on thursday. 28-32m seems like the sweet spot, which would be just fine and put it at 265ish by sunday. the same tuesday-to-weekend multiplier as last week would put it at 36m, which feels like the best case scenario given how much more competition there is over last weekend

feeling 110/330– legs will be strong but competition will stop them from being as bonkers as they could be

I seem to remember them predicting something like 120m for JW1 back in 2015 (though obviously that blindsided everybody) but yeah this would be a pretty big whiff if it happens

Saw this last night and WOW, almost every single joke in this movie is atrocious. Even by Illumination standards. I liked it more than I was expecting (for other reasons), but it's genuinely one of the most painfully unfunny movies I've ever seen

dude that post credits scene was CRAZY

20 left, i can guess 19 of them fairly confidently in no particular order- Empire Strikes Back Star Wars Fellowship of the Ring Two Towers Return of the King Schindler’s List Titanic Goodfellas Mad Max: Fury Road Parasite Jaws Lawrence of Arabia Spirited Away Jurassic Park Casablanca The Godfather The Godfather Part 2 Raiders of the Lost Ark The Dark Knight what’s the 20th? uncle drew? something random from 2020/2021?

prince of egypt >> nemo

i’d love to be wrong but 110-120 feels possible to me just based on vibes alone. feels like it could be the inverse of JW 2015 where the numbers just keep going down… and down… and down

i do hope that EEAAO’s run can earn it some awards recognition. a 60-65m final total is waaay more than most BP nominees today make anyway. and god knows they deserve it

also really bummed i missed the l̶a̶s̶t̶ ̶a̶i̶r̶b̶e̶n̶d̶e̶r̶peak fiction discourse. iroh and zuko >>>

i just saw this again for the second time and i really liked it way less. i still think there’s a solid 45 minute chunk of pure Raimi awesomeness but the script and some of the rushed effects are genuinely really hard to ignore on rewatch. i’m still glad marvel branched out a bit and i hope that they continue to. and lmao at the idea that a super niche *doctor strange* movie doing over/under 400m/1b is a sign that the mcu is weakening. let’s see how thor and black panther — two waaay more popular franchises — hold up before we go down that road lol.

shock of the century right here folks!!!

it's early but i wouldn't be surprised if this has better weekdays and worse weekends compared to typical MCU fare. good hold
