  1. I mean, they "Universed" Unbreakable/Split/Glass; might as well "Universe" anything that turns a profit! Now if only they do a Jigglypuff + Inception mashup. 😁
  2. I see, yeah this all makes sense. I guess I am a different type of viewer that can get down with certain types of drama, almost like a Royal Rumble of sorts, lol. And yes, thinking back, it is a bit of a long movie.
  3. I wonder why Civil War had the lowest multiplier out of all the MCU movies. It was a damn good movie worth repeated viewings, which you can't say for a good handful of some of the other ones.
  4. Exactly, and if they move it down, they're competing against Aladdin, Secret Life of Pets sequel, Spider-Man, Lion King, Dora, etc. all kids movies. An Endgame $75 mil weekend (as probably initially projected) wouldn't be the worst competition.
  5. My thinking is, those empty seats will be filled by other movie-goers who don't watch GoT and couldn't get a Thu/Fri/Sat ticket. Also, a lot of GoT fans probably planned to see Endgame before throwing their Winterfell party, since they are probably wary about spoilers more than most people. We'll see!
  6. Oh I didn't eat or drink at all. I went to the bathroom before driving out to the theater (35 minutes away), got there 5 minutes early, then went to the bathroom again before sitting down (reserved seats). Didn't feel the need to go until after the credits finished. It's a good idea to have something to drink during the day, cause you don't want to get dehydrated or your body will respond by filtering your fluids harder, forcing you to pee more (sounds ironic, but that's homeostasis for ya). Just don't overdrink, but don't get too thirsty. If you really want to drink in the theater, wait until when you feel the second act starts.
  7. Aladdin is my favorite WDA film, but I'm hesitant to say that it will be a big hit. I feel like more people are in love with The Lion King, which isn't bad at all, but might overshadow Aladdin a bit. I'm still not sold on Mena Massoud's acting chops (I think he needs more charisma maybe?), and you can only do so much with Will Smith. It'll probably make bank by default, but I just don't see it really breaking out at the moment. Hope I am wrong!
  8. I kind of agree with this; typical 'superhero dies and comes back to life' trope, then yes MBJ was given ZERO interesting lines--great backstory written, but no unique character charisma a la Hela or Ego. I still applaud Coogler for doing an amazing job overall despite some of its shortcomings.
  9. I also find it kinda funny how so much effort is put into avoiding spoilers for this when there are really no spoilers to care about lol.
  10. Anyone else get a Sharknado vibe from this? The jokes were mostly funny, but the execution was terrible. I know it's supposed to be ridiculous, but it became B-movie ridiculous. SMH.
  11. I agree. If Frozen 2 doesn't hit at least $500M, then something went seriously wrong with their marketing.
