    Hi Kevin, the Tuesday spot for Valerian was just from previews. Its first day is today. Hard to tell from previews if this is good or not, but we should know by end of today how much it did from its first showings in Paris. Around 6 hours from now we will know.

     

    Nice! Thanks for the info!

    Fox wanted Jen too. The movie was greenlit because of Jen.  In those circumstances it is hard to say someone else should have gotten the role. And Russel altered the script so Joy never went to college, whereas the real Joy did and didn't get married etc until after that. It wasn't strictly following Joy's story, including on her age. Regardless, I was just reacting to your consistent use of Jen as your sole example.  It is obvious to anyone that the disparity you are talking about exists.  And every veteran big name actress I know of except Meryl Streep benefited when they were younger (a short window) and suffered from it ever after.  Maybe Helen Mirren.

     

    Can I add Maggie Smith and Judi Dench on that list? I have no idea that Maggie Smith was nominated for the Oscars in the 60s and 70s. All I know is that she's Professor McGonagall.

     

    Judi Dench should also be included. She's TV actress in the 70s before she became a star in the Bond movies.

    Woah! Going in style had a huge jump at my theatre today! 11M+ here vs 8.2M Friday. I'm thinking the "old people" genre as a whole might have to be readjusted to how I calculate my numbers. If I use the "new system" (I can't decide which I'm going to stick with because they both seem to work depending on Genre) it would be a 5.1M Friday and a 6.8 Saturday. All this really means is that it's really over performing :)

     

    Also lol I had a customer (really friendly regular I love this guy) compare Ghost in the Shell to Blade Runner today. Not in terms of what it was about or visuals, but how good the movie is and "potential to be a future Classic" I'm just glad some people are able to enjoy it

     

    Well, the director of the original animation of Ghost in the Shell said that his movie's style was influenced by Blade Runner (I'm talking about the 1995 original animation), but he wanted to make a different story.

    My point was the American title was changed to Case Closed. (I don't know where you are from, but I was under the impression it was Case Closed in the UK.)

     

    My larger point was that Detective Conan is very obscure. Case Closed a touch less obscure. It wasn't even able to garner enough interest in a dub to last a bit over 100 episodes, while One Piece or Fairy Tail flew past that mark. Add on that even Viz had to slow down the manga translation due to sales. 

     

    Conan is just popular in anime circles, but no where else. 

     

    Also, I love anime nerds talking about love action anime and yet keep citing the same three movies over and over again, like those are the only live action adaptations of anime/manga ever made.

     

    Oh yeah! I know that the Western version is called Case Closed. Sorry!

    Considering how bad Attack on Titan live action was, I think it's safe to say Japan tanks its own animes in live action adaptations quite frequently. Shin Godzilla was an absolute best case scenario and miracle for 2010s JP genre film.

     

    Shin Godzilla is one of the movies from the Godzilla franchise and in Japan, its franchise started from 1954 and kept on releasing similar movies in which Godzilla battles against any forms of giants like Mechagodzilla, Space Godzilla, etc. So, Godzilla franchise is not based on anime.

    Attack on Titan live action movie was laughably bad, that's what happened when you don't have the money for good effects and hire models to play the characters. That's a Japan move industry problem in general.

     

    Don't forget Japan will release the live-action movie of Fullmetal Alchemist in December 2017. Here's the trailer:
