so long as there’s people like you @Brainbug that will see the latest dino/lizard film over ten times in theaters, we’ll be ok. We salute you.Ive already planned 5 viewings for GxK (i hope it will be more), but what annoys me greatly is that i wont have a chance to see it on OW because of other appointments. Earliest i will be able to see it is on April 2nd ☹️

Very, very few horror films are actually scary once you're past a certain age. The last scary one I actually remember was The Lighthouse. Eli Roth's Thanksgiving had some imaginative gross out work but was about as scary as a He-Man episode.
I mean, the feeling of fear in the context of a horror film is probably one of the most subjective feelings one can have in moviegoing, in line with comedies where some people find a film like The Hangover for example extremely funny, while others think its boring and unfunny.
With horror films, ive made the experience that watching them with a group of people is really enlightining in terms of finding out what people find actually scary. It Follows was a case where i think its tense and effective and has 2 or 3 good jump scares, but i didnt really find it scary - two people i watched it with absolutely lost their minds watching it and screamed my ears off.
So imo its not necessarily an age thing, but the exposure to the genre (the more horror films you see, logically the less they probably scare you) and peoples personality where some are just easily scared, while others are unfaced.

For me personally, im just glad that movies and movie theaters so far survived Covid and also are still surviving the streaming age despite all tge struggles and problems. Im glad for every film like Dune 2 because i dont know when the time will come that such movies wont get made anymore. Or when the viewing habitats changed so much that theaters really get closed everywhere. Im pretty sure that this (terrible) scenario will come someday, but i hope that its still a long, long way ahead of us.
But since i dont know when the death of movie theaters will happen, i just enjoy them in the present as long as i can.

Oh no, that doesn’t sound good.

This, exactly. I woudnt say reviews have no effect whatsoever on Monster Mash movies, but audiences are extremely forgiving with these films when it comes to story and characters; the one thing though that makes or breaks those movies is the Fun Factor with the fights and whether or not the film delivers them in a satiesfying way.

Sorry Dune-heads, this is the coolest shot of the year in a blockbuster so far.
2024: The year Hollywood decided that great blockbusters can only be made with a desert setting.

Oh wow this actually looks decent. Ive been heavily burned before with Alien: Covenant, but maybe im now on board with checking this out.
Might finally be the first good Alien movie since 1986.

What? ELVIS had the best trailer of 2022, Barbie's entire campaign is iconic level, DUNE 2's final trailer was unreal, etc.
Re: Furiosa, yeah I have no idea how this will do but I think this doesn't have near the mass appeal that some will like claim it has.
I mean ... has actually anyone here claimed that this will be a big hit? If yes, i havent noticed it.
Personally, id say Fury Roads numbers would be the ceiling for this.

Way better trailer than the first one and i already liked that one.
George Miller is the gift that keeps on giving and i just hope he gets to be 120 years old.

Villeneuves next film should be a live-action horror version of the Teletubbies.

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.

So have we talked about how freakin massive Shrek 5 would be if kfp4 managed this? Because damn, that might just be Hollywoods current biggest goldmine right there
180M OW is the low end for Shrek 5 imo. 250M+ is totally in the cards if its actually also a good movie.

The audience has come out. It’s making about as much as this kind of film can reasonably make.
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.

@charlie Jatinder @Rthmessiah I'm bored. You got any numbers for us to snack on?
Eric you should know better than calling @Rthmessiah without at least 4 pictures of naked male torsos.

Though unlike Gareth, he does have one really really really good movie with Ex Machina.
Godzilla 2014 is better than all of Garlands films though. And (the second half of) Rogue One is also fantastic.

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.

I have trouble rating them against each other because they aim for such different things (G2014 scale, KONG: SKULL ISLAND fun, KOTM awe/wonder with the monsters, etc). I just split the series into two tiers quality-wise:
Tier A:
GODZILLA 2014KONG: SKULL ISLAND
GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS
Tier B:
GODZILLA VS. KONG
GODZILLA X KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE
But I still enjoy the movies in Tier B, and obviously plenty of people like GVK more than KOTM so GxK is probably more their speed.
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.

Agreed. I think low 60s for the OW looks possible right now, but for 93M+, it would need a hell of a final presales push and also extremely good walk-ups. I dont see that happening to this degree.
