  1. The fact mojo crash almost all the time everytime you ask it something remotely complicated make it challening.
  2. Was it Iron Man 3 the may 5 ? Nop Oz was at 228m Passion of the Christ ? https://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2004-02-29&track=passionofthechrist.htm
  3. Is it any close to their Cloud Atlas in term of Masterpiece ? Never tried to watch JA.
  4. Well I filtered from the-numbers.com to have a list of big budget movies from the 2010 and ranked from the lowest bo to teh highest (feeling a good way to find the worst), I just got tired after enough example. T5 and SS being rare case of terrible movie that I watched part of them for some reason (being some stupid sheep wanting to into the conversation about SS I guess, T5 because the trailer did look nice but I was not achieve to watch the movie to the half). If you think Suicide Squad was a more competently made movie than Ghostbuster or had good visual, that sure I guess GB2016 could be the worst for you, I am not sure I can understand that point of view too, Suicide Squad is so obviously deficient film making in every sense of the way, the editing, music cue, story, dialogue, SFX, characters it is a giant succession of incompetence imo, to a spectacular level.
  5. The poster really do not watch any movie anymore he said (like the last time he went in theater was for Bladerunner or something), because there is an long list (that I understand he would have not seen) Transformer 5, Suicide Squad being very obvious one. Other considerations (not looking what pass for a studio and if they count, excluding the Promise but not really looking much) The Nutcracker in 3d Mars Needs moms Monster Trucks RIPD Ben-Hur Transcendence Point Break King Arthur 3 Musketeers Pan The Wolfman Nutcracker and the four realms The A-team Jupiter Asceding Jack the giant slayer Total Recall remake Sorcerer Apprentice Percy Jacksons franchise Green Hornet/Green Lantern Gulliver travels Assassin Creed Pixels Robocop Turtles 2 After Earth Chip Knight and day The Tourist D-Day sequels Snow white sequels The Mummy God of Egypt etc...... Talking about the worst in something is really hard, because usually we would have look at a very small amount of the contender to have any relevant opinion about it, but I feel that Ghostbuster was not worst than most of that list above, at least better than all of those I have seen among them, was still Paul Feig movie somewhat competently made and far from Suicide Squad level of non sense/editing/etc...
  6. It is a 1939 release and the biggest movie of all time (by quite a margin in the domestic market), that is still usually the most frequent favorite movie among adults in the USA 80 year's later according to opinion polls. A very similar movie to Titanic (love story set in big historical events backdrop, here the American civil war and it's aftermath).
  7. Would need to look at the lawsuit or know anything about the law, but I would imagine the Washington Post, the publisher, would be on the hook for it ? I doubt he would end up asking for money from her at the end if it how it work in practice.
  8. Also suing some media: http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/0122-johnny-depp-amber-heard-doc.pdf Considering how terrible some media are at reporting I imagine he is set to make good money.
  9. Considerably more than state of the Union xXx, but not necessarily exceptional for the time, that: https://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=13goingon30.htm Sold almost exactly the same on domestic home ent for example.
  10. Non avengers SH felt stuck around that $90-120M mark and all the sudden Venom/Aquaman and now it seem CM to have broke that ceiling.
  11. Sony on Hellboy (2004) made $12M in profit $45M from theater, 123.5M from dvd!!, 34M from television in revenues, Hellboy 2 probably made a small profit also.
  12. You gave a link to an comicbook.com blog post that is using the exact same wikipedia page.
  13. Really strange like Laura Dern character simply disappear, casting a big name for it was maybe the point to make the absence heavier but it felt strange, felt like a post production change there. Almost no way all the native/luxury hotel storyline played like intended in the director mind. Hard to recommend and make you appreciate Fargo of even Wind River much more.
  14. A bit on the late considering the shift to streaming that sound like it remove the concept of profit and the notion of sharing it for a show.
  15. A bit of a misquoting here: actual quote: Rock was, in a way, a movie star before he was even a movie star. There is something about him that’s really special. I’d never take that away from him. Would I consider him a great actor? Fuck no. Significant difference between good and great
  16. 4 weeks feel like a dangerous precedent theater chain would never agree with, Amazon goes close to the usual 90 days windows. Imagine second weekend/third weekend (likely the moment it end up in your city) going to see a movie in theater that will be on your already pay for Netflix in one or 2 week, may as well be day and date for most non-events movie.
  17. Guardian of the galaxy 2 also achieved to attract females audience (F+25) a lot (56/44 split versus 59/41 for the first one according to the MPAA) and that continued on thor 3 (44%), Ant Man Wasp (45%) and black panther (45%). Last 2 year,s Marvel many of the superheroes movies did play quite well on the female demo, there is room to grow and reach a 52-53% type (without loosing male in absolute numbers), but it was already quite popular among the demo (compared to the more geek need to have followed a lots of movies Marvel entry or a Batman V Superman that was 62% Male vs 38% female that had much more room to growth among that demo.
  18. Was it not more a bit of a perfect case of aiming significantly different audience ? Leg pattern being so different support the notion they were not much competition to each other. Opening weekend demo looked like this: Aquaman Exits were huge per PostTrak, with Aquaman earning 5 stars from kids and parents, who made up 15% of the audience last night, and 4 stars from overall audiences who repped 85%. Biggest draws were in order: Males 25+ (35%), Males 25- (27%), Females 25+ (21%), Females 25- (17%). Diversity demos were 40% Caucasian, 23% Hispanic, 19% African American and 12% Asian. Females over 25 loved Aquaman the most at 85% positive (mmmm, maybe for Jason Momoa?). Definite recommend here is a solid 69%. Again PostTrak polls throughout the weekend, so these demos will adjust. Poppins She has an A- CinemaScore and 4 stars on PostTrak, with females 25+ leading the way at 45% (they love the movie the most at 89% positive), followed by men 25+ at 28% (85% positive). General audiences are making up 67% of the crowd, families 33%. Diversity demos are 67% Caucasian, 16% Hispanic, 7% Asian and 6% African-American. Aquaman vs Poppins 62% Male for Aquaman versus 63% female for Poppins Over 25: 56% for Aquaman vs 73% Poppins 40% Caucasian for Aquaman vs 67% Caucasian for Poppins Almost perfect opposite (for giant movies that are never really that niche) has it get, I am not sure hurting competition for those 2 movies ever entered their mind.
  19. How concerning, like doing just a little bit more than half the number of a freaking 200m openner ? Or really concerning ?
  20. Maybe, maybe not, but it is worth trying, going from over $100 a month to under $20 with all the destruction in content creation that come with it, is not something we can expect company to do by choice. Once you get live sports into it, I am really not sure how it does not look exactly like sports 2.0, do you suggest that for less than what ESPN did cost or HBO individually studio should offer ESPN + every content that exist at a Netflix type of pricepoint ? For not already moneytised content ? It is dangerous to look at it to some extreme, like saying that with spotify and youtube playing on demand music for free, piracy went down and that a model that people should follow. I suspect one day that content will be centralized by one service (like the Channels you can add to your amazon prime account) and we will get exactly to what cable was, for the same reason and force that made cable happen like it was in the first place.
  21. I am not sure they miss the point and do not know well what explained Netflix success, low hassle, all platform, lot of already moneytised studio content at a low price (that cannot really work at their full price). Shifting it into Cable 2.0 is probably the point, the believe that there is much more money in Cable 2.0 than on Netflix 1.0. TV is an over 265+ billion a year industry going toward 300b, Netflix is a 15 billion industry, studio would probably become in really big trouble if television became a $17 month by family model when the American Cable TV average bill was over $100 a month in 2016, I imagine studio want the next model to be at least half of that, getting $50 box by family if not the same $100. Now that Netflix used people a $17 a month, can you start with a consolidated MPAA offer at $70 a month and get people to agree with it to bundle all content together ? It is just too expensive to get full ESPN in your package if you do not want it and too much value for sport watch to not charge a lot for it, it will end up cable like. Has for NBC streaming, I imagine it could end up having a lot of Universal products (law and orders, monk, suits, some fasts and furious/despicable me series) and new show, maybe Unirversal would have released Russian Doll on their platform instead of making it for Netflix. That was a very regulated industry with regulation and having to offer the show to everyone and so on,
  22. Anything DCEU/MCU has a good chance in general to stay remembered, marathon before some new Avengers or direct sequel of them, but Black Panther was so big and described has best theater experience in 10 year's type, that it is a even more certain choice. 10 year's is very not along time looking at this: https://www.imdb.com/search/title?year=2008&title_type=feature& https://www.imdb.com/search/title?title_type=feature&year=2008-01-01,2008-12-31&view=simple&start=51&ref_=adv_nxt https://www.imdb.com/search/title?title_type=feature&year=2008-01-01,2008-12-31&view=simple&start=101&ref_=adv_nxt Is there any surprisingly forgotten/remembered movie among them ? Slumdog didn't age particularly well (but that could have been true just in term of second watch), but it is still extremely well remembered and is very small digital camera high energy shooting had an impact I think. Maybe Taken survived time more than expected, maybe some expected a bigger redemption for Speed Racer (if the sibling career would have went an other way, maybe it would have happened). Crazy Rich Asians has sequels planned, has for Quiet Place, how does goes can change how remembered the first get (Imagine the last CRA is released in 2024, that not far from 2028)
