Ms Lady Hawk

1999 was incredible- SW, The Sixth Sense, Cruel Intentions, etc. Look forward to your write up.

iJack, why does it matter so much what others think of Spider-man's run? You and a few others think it had an extraordinary run and some other people didn't think it did. Based on its box office performance, the argument is in the eye of the beholder. Those who were expecting an all time run like the Raimi/other MCU movies would be underwhelmed. Judging by the standards of the average movie, the run is very good. It is all about perspective.

Baby Driver lost more theaters than I thought this weekend. Spider-Man, Dunkirk and Emoji did very well with the theater counts. I suppose WW did too, since it is in its 11th week. We'll see what happens this weekend. Other than Annabelle, it looks like another lackluster weekend.

So WW retaines ~970 theaters this weekend. I guess it could have been worse. However, as I scrolled down the list on boxofficemojo, I noticed that WB expanded The House by 15. It isn't a big deal, but still.

Yep. Couldn't they hold off until October?

I am wondering the same thing.

Wow! What? Well, that's odd. I have not seen any ads or other kinds of promotion for Nut Job.

Maybe no movie will lose significant screens this week. Annabelle: Creation is the only release requiring over 3,000 screens. Dunkirk, Emoji and Spider-Man all have over 3,000, so maybe they would lose the most. Maybe 500 each?

These Wednesday numbers are not good so far. Maybe tomorrow will see no significant drops or better yet, slight increases across the board. I saw Kidnap today, and for the first time in my life, I was alone in a movie theater. There was no one else there. The theater sat 128 and I was the sole ticket sold. The movie was enjoyable for what it offered. Although, it seemed like the first half of the movie was the car chase. I can definitely understand anyone who comes out of the Dunkirk feeling less than thrilled. I did not like it AT ALL.

The trajectory of Meg Ryan's career is a high and then a quick descent into irrelevance. The last memorable movie that I saw with her in a starring role was Kate & Leopold. I happen to like the movie, but some people did not/do not.

Isn't The Dark Knight series part of DC? I don't think they blew it with Batman v Superman at all. Those are two enduring heroes that will receive chance after chance just like Spider-Man. I don't hear anyone saying that the Marvel brand was broken because of the ASM series. That's because Spider-Man is timeless. He, like Batman and Superman resonates throughout generations. There will always be room for them.

Wow! Amazing. I hope WB does it. Thank you!

Thanks! How much would you guess a LD expansion would add to the total?

BoxOfficeReport.com @BORReport·13m #WonderWoman passed the $400M domestic mark on Tuesday after grossing an estimated $395K for the day. 68-day total is $400.22M. #BoxOffice

BoxOfficeReport.com @BORReport Dunkirk grossed an estimated $2.75M on Tuesday. 19-Day total stands at $138.56M. #Dunkirk #BoxOffice

Yes, yes! My bad. I accidentally pressed 2 rather than 1 before the 5.

Thank you! This represents a very small increase for Dunkirk from yesterday. ~5%? Emoji ~25%?

Had to do it. Celebration time!

I don't think there was a time when no one seemed to care about WW, as far as the general public goes. Studios were just afraid of female centric films. This movie, which basically stars actors who are not household names shows that the public did and does care about WW. WW, the story and the way it came together made people support it.

Yay for Wonder Woman. I was hoping for 300 or slightly over 50% drop from Sunday. This is fantastic. 400 million, make way for Diana!

I understand. People think I am crazy for never quite seeing the special quality of Shawshank Redemption and Scarface. We are all entitled to our opinions. That is one of the many reasons why movie watching is so fun. I just appreciate the time and effort you've taken to bring all these movies back to our consciousness. Saving Private Ryan is another classic. 1998 was a very good year for movies. The Water Boy, Armageddon, etc. - all very good/great.

" So why did the film resonate with audiences? Probably because it was so over the top funny in just about every slapstick scene. The Farrelly's included bits in here that usually aren't part of mainstream comedy. There's a scene where Ben Stiller decides he's going to masturbate before his date with Cameron Diaz. This is done on the advice of his friend, played by Chris Elliott. The reason? So that he is more calm during the date and if it does get down to sex afterwards, he's already "cleaned the pipes." Thanks again for the amazing write up. What a classic movie! SAM has so many funny scenes. Brett Favrrrree. LOL Although, there was some shade thrown at SIL, I appreciate the write up. I fell in love with Joseph Fiennes. He was also excellent in Elizabeth starring Cate Blanchett. Awesome!

Me too. I wonder why there was such a steep theater drop. I know that at some point it enjoyed double features with Men In Black, but that was probably before Week 10. I can't imagine that it would have dropped so precipitously with double features from Men In Black. I guess people who have followed the box office since 2002 may remember what happened. Could also be that it was par for the course to drop theater counts for block busters after they reached certain benchmarks in 2002.

No. I have not seen Stoker. I was referring to The Others.

I am not really looking forward to anything before "It". I saw the preview for "Mother" and could not figure out what it was about. It seemed eerily similar to that Nicole Kidman ghost movie, whose name escapes me right now. "Annabelle 2" looks too scary for me to see at the movies. Need to be home to see it.
