    Not that the bar is too high there, lol. I'm honestly just impressed that people here still use punctuation and I can understand most of what people say.

    I'm an atrl member but never post. That place is seriously toxic. And it's not even nearly as bad as other forums. For serious, as far as forums go, this place is basically a utopia. I haven't found an online community nearly as respectful and intelligent.

    I have to agree. I lurk a lot of boards and I'm used to getting so riled up by the comments that I have to take breaks. But this place is surprisingly mature and open-minded. The music forums I lurk (atrl anyone?) are miles worse than this place. Miles and miles. I really got to hand it to the mods for helping to perpetuate such a positive vibe in this place.

    MT 1. DM3 - 39.5% 2. BD - 12.4% 3. WW - 12.0% 4. TF5 - 6.3% 5. SMH - 6.2% WW is almost caught up to BD and double TF5. I'm expecting a very strong Monday and Tuesday.

    Yup, this is definitely Spidey's first appearance on MT. It's gone as high as #3 on Pulse but only in the middle of the night.

    BOM reported 500k more for WW than Gitesh. Hope that ends up being the correct #. Either way, 800 is still a feasible goal for this film. BD is gonna be fun to watch. Hoping for another leggy hit. Other than that, this weekend was pretty lackluster. It looks like we're not gonna have a single weekend aggregate gross above 200M this summer. Next weekend is probably the last chance but I don't see it happening.

    If MT is any indication, I would say WW had a great day. TF5 has stayed within 80-85% of WW for the past several days but now it's just at 60%. Plus it's closed the gap between it and BD somewhat.

    Lol, well at least The House got like an hour in the top 5 on Pulse. 1. DM3 2. BD 3. WW 4. DM3 3D 5. TF5 MT 1. DM3 - 42.7% 2. BD - 11.6% 3. WW - 9.8% 4. TF5 - 7.9% 5. Cars 3 - 7.1% WW is in great shape heading into the weekend. Think the battle for #2 will be really close.

    I know it's the middle of the night but the top 5 on Pulse just got more interesting. 1. DM3 2. BD 3. SMH 4. WW 5. DM3 3D Certainly seems like a positive sign for SpiderMan.

    MT 1. DM3 - 17.1% 2. BD - 16.9% 3. TF5 - 13.5% 4. WW - 13.1% 5. Cars 3 - 11.7%

    This is Edgar Wright's breakout. I'm super confident this is gonna do really well and have great legs. It's been a while since I've seen one of Edgar Wright's films so I forgot how clever his films are. What I love most about him is that he never takes himself too seriously. He plays with these tropes but flips them around and almost parodies them but in a really clever way. This film is a barrel of fun and I think that's exactly what audiences are starved for this summer.

    Never saw FioS but Earl and the Dying Girl pissed me off big time. Her cancer felt like a big plot device just to make the main character grow and learn. The portrayal felt very unrealistic and the focus wasn't on her at all. And don't even get me started on that last scene with her in the hospital. Don't want to give away spoilers but it just really pissed me off. It was like she was just some fantasy for the main character. Really hated that movie. I really liked 50/50 tho. Should probably give FioS a watch.

    I always knew The House was too wacky. Rough Night looked zany enough but The House looks even more nuts. The premise of starting a casino to pay for college makes no sense. They took a potentially relatable topic and made it completely unrelatable.

    DM3 is above Cars on Pulse already. Will likely be #2 soon enough. Looking for a huge gross this weekend.
  15. nomyth
    Honestly, I am impressed by how much BD has grown today. It's at 8.8% and still about half of the top 3 on MT but I wouldn't be surprised if it hits #1 tomorrow, which I really didn't expect it do. I always thought BD was destined for sub 15M for the weekend but signs are looking good. And The House's likely floppage ain't hurting matters. I still haven't seen it pop up on Pulse.
  16. nomyth
    MT 1. TF5 - 20.2% 2. Cars 3 - 18.3% 3. WW - 16.2% 4. BD - 7.1% 5. DM3 - 4.3% BD is increasing nicely. I didn't think it would catch up to the top 3 but it's looking like it may.

    Star power at the box office hasn't really been much of a factor since the '90's I think. Even Leo and Clint Eastwood couldn't make J. Edgar a hit. I don't think any actor now is as consistent as Will Smith or Tom Hanks or Jim Carrey or Julia Roberts were back then. As others have said, the content is what really matters most. That and marketing. Leo's been in a lot of well received movies. If he stars in a stinker, the box office will still reflect it.

    I don't see The House popping up at all on Pulse. Could this open to less than Rough Night?

    Baby Driver has a really high average rating on RT. Super curious to see what it's audience score and legs will look like. Judging by presales, it's not looking at a big OD but I wonder how much it can jump this weekend.
  20. nomyth
    For sure, there will always be critics who are a little more likely to respond to something starring a woman. At the same time, there's critics who are more likely to respond to Marvel films or films starring Leonardo DiCaprio or directed by Nolan. Everybody's opinions is skewed by their own perception of things. So it just seems like an incredibly unfair accusation to make towards successful female led films.
  21. nomyth
    Precisely! It's simply a tool to undermine those that are successful. And I see at least one person say it every time a film by/for women succeeds. Like I know people can't wrap their mind around the fact that Ghostbusters got a 73% on RT. But ya know what? I can't wrap my mind around the fact that Iron Man 3 got a 79%. Doesnt mean those critics are wrong tho. Different strokes for different folks.
  22. nomyth
    My #1 pet peeve ever when discussing movies is when people say 'this only got good reviews because it starred a woman.' Or because it was directed by a woman or was supposed to be female empowering. How can you not realize how sexist that is? Like what if I were to say people only liked Iron Man because it started a male action hero? Does that sound ridiculous? Just because you don't get something out of a movie doesn't mean everybody who does is full of shit or pushing some agenda.

    After this weekend, I'm thinking it falls just short of 800. Around 780-790. I doubt it makes more than 15M in Japan, so I would guess its final international total will be around 390. I still think it can leg out to 400 DOM. It'll definitely be close but I'm not sure if it can quite hit the mark.

    It's been a while since I've seen the first but nothing I can recall is as bad as the entire character of Flo in PP2. Each of her lines are so cringe. I agree about the David Cross scene tho. And I love all the Das Sound Machine jokes. There's a lot of funny there.
  25. nomyth
    Meh, I don't think the second one was so bad. Still lots of funny moments. Just an obvious step down from the first and the jokes that don't work are pretty cringe. Like was the racist stereotype character necessary? Really? And Hailee Steinfeld's romantic subplot was gross. This one definitely seems to have up-ed the zany factor. Don't know what's going down with all the explosions but the December release date is perfect. With the franchise fatigue that's been going on, I can't see this touching the 2nd film's gross but it should still be really big. For now, I'm expecting 120-160.
