  1. I'm not even a big Avatar fan, but arguing that people don't care about Avatar feels quite literally like arguing that the earth is flat. You're pretty much arguing against a known fact with all the evidence in the world using nothing but conjecture.
  2. Because disregarding the fact that those movies suck ass and maybe 1% of the people who watched those movies on Netflix would pay money to watch them, quite literally the amount of people who have seen those movies are much less than the number of people who have seen Avatar.
  3. This has probably been mentioned before but it's pretty funny that Dune is going to be the highest-grossing movie since Barbenheimer, beating another Timothee Chalamet movie for the spot.
  4. This reminds me. Would be really funny if WB has their best couple years in like over a decade for the next few years and they still end up getting sold for parts (very likely scenario).
  5. 1. 600 mil is definitely happening and 2. $600 mil is not the breakeven point. Let's not be spreading misinformation here please
  6. Was watching a bit of Zardoz today and Charlotte Rampling has such a striking resemblance to Rebecca Ferguson. Could've totally played Jessica back then.
  7. I'm not talking about this specific movie obviously. But put Robbie and Murphy in something like a rom-com within the next year or so, I say it has a grear shot at becoming a decent sized hit.
  8. I do think a movie like this starring Robbie and Murphy as the leads could see a decent bump because of Barbenheimer tbh
  9. I saw that a couple years ago. It's pretty good but I do prefer the story (it might have something to do with the fact that I kinda had the same thing happen to me in between watching the movie and reading the story lol).
  10. I'm reading Tolstoy because all my friends were reading Dostoevsky last year. Wanted to be different lol. But I did read White Nights last year and it probably contains the most accurate portrayal of unrequited love ever
  11. Needed a break from reading War and Peace so I'm reading Norwegian Wood rn. This is my first Murakami and I can't even get through 10 pages of this. Feels like reading a YA romance novel so far. Is this what the rest of his work feels like? Just agonizing stuff.
  12. An absolute shame that this is what we're getting for a Purple Crayon movie.
  13. There's no reason why this wouldn't be either. Monster flicks are generally more walk-up heavy.
  14. This could work out now that Venom 2 has moved out of the November first week slot.
  15. Tbf, as Porthos said, the level of sales are so low locally it doesn't matter this far out. Needs like maybe 2 more ticket sales by the end of the day for the comp to go up to 3 mil+.
  16. Why are you bragging about being ignorant lol? Oppenheimer was a frontrunner to win for months. They didn't just award it because it was popular, espescially when one of the other nominees was the highest grossing movie of the year. Kinda feels hypocritical to blame the quality of output in film when you didn't even bother knowing the names of the other (mostly pretty good) nominees.
  17. It's not even that. I'm just always weirded out by the way I see people treat Ke Huy Quan like a baby. Hes a middle-aged man lol.
  18. Seeing a controversy about RDJ not acknowledging Ke Huy Quan on stage and just reminded me of this weird infantilization is always see of Quan on twitter (saw it a lot last year too).
  19. No. Sequels to successful rom-coms are pretty rare (and I quite literally cannot think of one atm) and it should stay that way.
  20. I feel Poor Things was a very clear no. 2. Sweeped all the art design categories and won best actress. And its a populist (but artsier than something like Barbie) film with feminist messaging. Just feels like an easy pick to win if Oppenheimer did not exist.
  21. Poor Things was definitely 2nd place for BP right? 3rd place feels harder to guess but I'm gonna guess Zone of Interest maybe.
  22. So anyone here think Emma Stone actually didn't expect her to win the award? Seeing this sentiment going around on Twitter and just seems like a bunch of projection to me. But I'm also not great at reading complex human emotions so, idk lol
