Agreed for me when I see that a film is clearly going down a certain trend I want to see that film hit the most extreme version of that trend (positive or negative) as possible. Boring box office runs like say Civil War are no fun to discuss.
Also to test waters in case they want to do two Star Wars films a year. A May Memorial Release and a December Release. Though I doubt we'll get two a year until at least all the Avatar sequels are done.
Idk I just find it funny how the biggest franchise in North America got completely rejected by the 2nd Biggest Market. I say that as a huge Star Wars fan btw but some things need a reality check every once in a while.
So I guess I'm going to be watching Brooklyn Nine Nine over the semester holidays to see what all the fuss is about with the show. Plus I need a good comedy to cheer me up from my general mood anyways. Community really helped me over the Aussie Summer.
Btw every mentions how great Michael Giacchino's The Incredibles and Up Scores up but I find his Ratatouille one just as great as the others. Giacchino is hit and miss with live action but his Pixar scores are superb nearly every time.
I'll go ahead and also say Avatar 2 doesn't get a $200M Opening Weekend in North America
Will probably get one in China and still make $2 Billion though.
Ant-Man and the Wasp will probably have a worse 2nd Weekend Drop Off than Infinity War. July Weekdays will kick in though resulting a better Multiplier Overall.
