  1. Yeah I'm about a quarter of the way through it and I just can't....
  2. Probably pretty high. This thing has negative buzz at this point.
  3. Good point. I never bothered to look at what the other Monday drops were.
  4. I think we should personally calm down and read a little less into both movies. I mean, I could say what I personally believe to be propaganda but that wouldn't be okay.
  5. I wouldn't say this is such a monstrous bump that it makes up for the Monday drop.
  6. Yeah Zellweger is the front runner. Universal praise for her performance coming out of the Judy screening.
  7. So the critics are fine grading a movie like Saw, which glorifies torture and extreme violence, but Joker crosses the line.
  8. I know what you mean, and I remember. Malcontents just saw it as a "white saviour" movie, whatever that means. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
  9. The bridge scene was a real gut punch. One of the most horrifying scenes in the movie actually.
  10. That's a really, really steep drop. A first Monday drop around that of It and The Nun would have meant around $6.3M (69% drop). Now that being said, we're seeing even more emphasis on Tuesdays this year, as if Tueadays are becoming an extension of the weekend, so I'm preparing for a huge Tuesday increase. If that doesn't happen then we can safely say this is probably not going to have great legs.
  11. So this got the dreaded Super Bowl weekend date. Hopefully it surprises, for Sophia Lillis' sake. I've been rooting for her since It.
  12. What I saw - and continue to see - was critics painting an entire country and ethnicity with the same brush (aka the "American entitlement" and "white entitlement" comments). Its It's like, shut up already. We get it!
  13. I mean, a $200M OW is possible for this. As long as it drops 50% or less it could definitely be #1 over Joker.
  14. Not really a spoiler but I figured I'd discuss it in here anyway since spoilers could come up. What are the chances of WB doing a sort of "Pennwise, the beginning" type prequel? I could definitely see it! Not only that, I think anyone who has read the novel knows the material is actually there to do more with the IT franchise. It wouldn't be milking the main films' success. It returns every 27 years, right? King wrote about the tragedies that happened every 27 years in Derry since the beginning. You could easily do a film about the events that happened every 27 years and it would still be fresh. Don't get me wrong, I don't want another 10 movies about It. I just think there's material there to tell more stories without it feeling forced or milked.
