Me neither, especially since it’s written by the guys who did Hidden Figures and Spotlight and directed by the guy who did Finding Neverland. I know Marc Forster’s last two films (WWZ and Quantum of Solace) made his track record spotty. But, if he goes back to what made Finding Neverland good, Christopher Robin may work. The only thing they fixed that was negatively received in the test screenings was the voice of Tigger (replacing Chris O’Dowd with Jim Cummings). We’ll see how the music of Jon Brion and Geoff Zanelli mesh together this coming opening weekend.
Well, we still haven’t seen the heffalumps and heard Peter Capaldi as Rabbit, so there’s that, and maybe there’s an end-credits scene with a cameo from Gopher.
Interesting. Could it be a “Captain Underpants” scenario? I can’t see this being a bad film (like A Wrinkle in Time), especially with the writers of Spotlight, Hidden Figures and Queen of Earth and the director of Finding Neverland doing this movie.
Actually, the social media reaction/review embargo lifts tomorrow. And, one clue I have as to if it was good or not is Scott Menzel of We Live Entertainment telling me all he could say was this: 🙂. That, to me, is an assumption that he liked it.
I would hope Guardians 2 does $33.3M by Sunday, so it can pass $300M domestically. Hopefully, people continue seeing it throughout the day and even more tomorrow and Sunday.
If it is true Alien: Covenant will open to in the $30M range as these two sites (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=4292&p=.htm, http://pro.boxoffice.com/long-range-forecast-spider-man-homecoming/) predict, it'll show the divisive reception to Prometheus will impact this movie and have it fall to 2nd, giving Guardians of the Galaxy 2 another third, straight opening weekend at #1.
I would hope Guardians makes $35-$40M in its third weekend. It's second weekend drop is inbetween TWS and TDW. Hopefully, It should barely cross $400M. But, we'll have to see the actual's results tomorrow.
I don't know. Being that this is also a sequel to Prometheus, it could make some people go in with reservations before seeing the movie, since Prometheus was a divisive movie.
Also, does anyone here think it will drop in its third weekend like Winter Soldier and/or the first Guardians to top Alien: Covenant when it comes out? Because right now, Alien: Covenant, despite 75% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, is projected to open with $37M, according to Box Office Pro.
I would hope if GOTG V2's drop is the lowest drop of all Marvel sequels, that it could mean it hits $400M here in the United States but we'll have to wait and see.
