  1. Gotta say, GxK is chugging along more strongly so far than i had expected. Im still a bit hesitant to call 60M+ a safe bet, but this seems promising.
  2. 180M OW is the low end for Shrek 5 imo. 250M+ is totally in the cards if its actually also a good movie.
  3. I agree. Dune 2 is still a 3 Hour Hard-Sci-Fi Epic. Its not family-friendly Star Wars or anything like that, its way more niche just as a concept alone. For this kind of movie to make near 300M DOM is incredible.
  4. Eric you should know better than calling @Rthmessiah without at least 4 pictures of naked male torsos.
  5. Godzilla 2014 is better than all of Garlands films though. And (the second half of) Rogue One is also fantastic.
  6. Money well spent. I do have problems with my rent right now, but i coudnt resist.
  7. This is neither bad enough to make me hate it no is it good enough to make me care about it. Its the definition of mediocrity imo (and yeah, some changes here from the show are baffling). I think this show will be forgotten quite fast honestly.
  8. So a not-Wingard and a Wingard-Tier 😅 but given the trailers and given, well ... Wingard ... i already expected this movie to double down on the tone of GvK. And honestly, from a box office perspective, that might just work out really well.
  9. This is a better start so far for GxK than i hoped for. I want to believe it can keep this early momentum but i still think it will slow down in the coming days.
  10. Im sad that Starship Troopers didnt win, but Wall-E is a perfectly acceptable champion!
  11. And if you want to dig deeper, the actual VFX budget was probably around 4-5M: All 610 of the film's visual effect shots were handled by a crew of 35 artists at Shirogumi's Chōfu studio,[28][74] under the supervision of Yamazaki and direction of Kiyoko Shibuya.[23][24] According to the Los Angeles Times, between a quarter and a third of the film's budget was spent on visual effects. Generally speaking yes, Japans labour laws can be critized heavily for creating poor working conditions for VFX artists, but if you want to believe the director and the crew of Minus One, this doesnt apply here: Yamazaki remarked that Japanese studios are either dubbed "white" or "black", with a "white" studio being one that "doesn’t exploit its employees" while a "black" studio "makes you work overnight at all hours and really doesn’t pay you well". Shirogumi, the studio responsible for the film's visual effects, is literally named "white team" in Japanese, which Yamazaki suggested means that "we want to believe we are setting up standards and an environment that is very workable for all the artists and everyone who is with us here today". Moreover, he emphasized that the visual effects team had not been mistreated and the team avoided working long hours (mentioning that it is a "very welcoming environment" anyway even if they work overtime) and cited how they assembled a kitchen in the studio to make it "more comfortable and cozy". Yamazaki also spoke of his hopes their visual effect budgets would increase in the future and that this could drive further improvements
  12. Nah, thats pretty much the range given by the directors comments as well, so its accurate.
