Moderation: So it’s really nice to not have a dog in this fight. I’m tempted just to sit back and let the gummy kick in and eat some popcorn. But I feel like Eric would be really disappointed in me. And we don’t want to derail the thread! So why doesn’t everyone agree that they’re both terrible directors we love, and move away from which one is better. In the meantime, how are you all watching the movie? Are you staying at home and doing it on HBO Max? Is everyone going to see it and IMAX?

It's all part of my Admin Style. I'm all for open and clear conversation. I just want to make sure that everyone knows no one is talking to me about this movie until November 5!!! And that thread is off limits. Eric can handle it. I'm not going in there. LOL.

Dune Comps Regal: Fox Run Mall Total: 208/707 BW: 436/858 || 47.71% - 6.29M SC: 405/780 || 51.35 - 4.52M VLTBC: 231/894 || 111% - 12.88M NTTD: 175/772 || 84.13% - 5.3M Average: 7.25M Average W/O Venom: 5.37M Falmouth Flagship Total: 108 / 172 BW: 252/399 || 5.6M SC: 154/218 || 6.17M VLTBC: 82/191 || 15.28M NTTD: 113/268 || 6.59M Average Comp: 8.41M Average W/O Venom: 6.12M Couple things we learned from the Data. The Northeast is bonkers for Tentacle Porn cause Geeez that Venom outliner! Hopefully they're just as in Oscar Issacs. But once you take it out, you get a better picture. I'd say put me down for 6M. *** Little bit more Business. Since this was the first BIG release for my Movie Theater (YAY!) I have data for that chain as well. I also decided to do the entire Apple Cinemas Chain (No Relation to Your Phone), so that's gonna be tracking 11 theaters across five states up in New England. Once I get that sorted out more, I'll post it. But the jist is the theaters are healthy. We had about 100 tickets sold for the IMAX tonight and 150 old for Westbrook. SO, good showing there.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 and with this, The good two weeks folks. Because I’m out. There’s apparently spoilers going around, and my nerves cannot handle anything, so I will see you opening weekend. I’m gonna go play the Sims, rewatch Succession, and pretend it doesn’t exist for a little bit

Thee only red flag I am seeing is “pacing issues”. Everything else looks solid. @Plain Old Tele 😱😱😱😱😱. NOW YOU HAVE TO SEEE. THEY SAID THE H WORD

God I am gonna throw up. So nervous about these. I just wanted to have 100% RT reading and Chloe to be declared Queen Of Everything. Is that too much to ask?

The movies need time to breathe. They need time to be marketed on their own without overlap. If you start marketing like six or seven a year, they’re going to cannibalize on each other. I’m not saying that people aren’t going to watch all the content. I’m just saying that it doesn’t feel healthy to the company’s longevity. I think three series + three movies a year is perfect. You’re basically giving the fandom weekly content, but nothing’s overlapping

We don’t need four movie a year, Jesus. You also have the TV shows. Let’s not get greedy here. Back in my day, we had one a year, and we had to wait like two years between projects!! I like the schedule way better. I do wish that they had pushed Black Panther, and left The Marvels in its existing date. I think that with everything externally surrounding the movie, the more time away from the property will make the return all the better.

Oh crap. I didn’t realize the day was today. I will try to get you something by midnight

God I fucking love this trash family. This premiere was soooooooo good. And gawd does the theme song slap.

If I wanted to give you warning points, I would’ve done that. I was simply stating that for the sake of the discussion, your posts had gotten slightly redundant. And maybe it was time to Move on. It’s not always necessary to respond back to every single person, every single time. That’s all I’m saying.

Uh, it’s not a ridiculous narrative. You’ve clearly never worked as PA before. This sounds like pot, kettle, black, sir. To be honest. We get it. You think they should vote yes. Unless you have anything else to say, I think we’re done here.

This is a terrible idea. Let Bruce Wayne be a Silver Fox DILF. no, really. Let him be a DILF. Where are his children!?! Where is my BatFam Anyway. Nothing about this particularly excites me except for Keaton. Like how do we get this on HBOMax so I can fast forward to all of his scenes. That nostalgia is a hell of a drug. His voiceover alone is causing me to buy a ticket

https://www.instagram.com/p/CVGc03XvAqF/?utm_medium=copy_link we don’t deserve her. So pure. So good. This is class, folks.

Sounds good. I will get he fire wood for the pyre. @Plain Old Tele We're burning Porthos TONIGHT.

No more me.

We're about to watch Carnival of Souls and Blood & Black Lace!  Click the link if you want to join. We just started.

Someone should tell him without the Union the mandalorian wouldn’t get made

The current first reply is saying that frosty is full of shit and negotiations are still in ongoing 😂 But super excited he is riling up the Spiderman fan boys. I mean that basically is his gimmick 🙄

PART A: Below are 8 films due for release between this weekend and Christmas Day, along with their predicted total grosses according to a random number generator (seriously, I'm picking random numbers from within a range) 1. Halloween $100M the prediction is too high 2. Dune $88M the prediction is too low 3. Ron's Gone Wrong $63M The film will make less than half the prediction 4. Clifford $95M the prediction is too high 5. Ghostbusters $76M the prediction is too low 6. King Richard $46M the prediction is too low 7. Resident Evil $26M the prediction is too low 8. Cyrano $38M The film will make less than half the prediction All you have to do is predict whether the predictions above are too high, or too low. You can choose to predict for as many or as few films as you wish. If you wish to go further, you could also choose to wager that a film will make less than half or more than double the above predictions. These predictions have bigger risks and bigger rewards. Please use these words Too High - the prediction is too high Too Low - the prediction is too low Double - The film will make more than double the prediction Half - The film will make less than half the prediction Predictions will be scored as follows: Correct High/Low Prediction - 8000 points Correct Double/Half Prediction - 20000 points Incorrect High/Low Prediction - Minus 6000 points Incorrect Double/Half Prediction - Minus 15000 points PART B: Here are 10 questions: 1. Which film will be the lowest grossing? Ron's Gone Wrong 2. Which film will be the highest grossing without making more than $75M? King Richard 3. Will exactly three films make the Domestic top 10? No 4. Will any film double its predicted gross? No 5. Will any film fail to reach half of its predicted gross? Yes 6. Will the actual combined total gross for the films be higher or lower than the predicted total gross? Lower 7. Percentage wise, what will be the best prediction? Ghostbusters 8. Percentage wise, what will be the worst prediction? Ron's Gone Wrong 9. Will 3 or more films open in the number 1 position? Yes 10. Will 3 or more of these films open in 4th or lower? No Predictions will be scored as follows: Number of correct answers in Part A x Number of correct answers in Part B x 1000 So if you got 6 correct in part A and 4 correct in part B, you will score: 6 x 4 x 1000 = 24,000 points for part B. There is no risk of losing points in part B. There is also the option to abstain from this question. If you state that you Abstain in this Thread, you will receive 3000 points Any player who does not predict or state abstain in this thread will lose 10000 points The Deadline is Thursday October 14th at 11:59pm (Weekend start time) Enjoy
