  1. If you ask me, I think that is too high. I think it will do 12 mil for the 4 day weekend and 1 mil on Thursday. Going with 13 mil for the five day. Really low compared to the article but The Wrap also predicted that Aquaman would open to 100 mil. This bodes better for The Lego Movie 2.
  2. Ticket sales only started today. Wait for a few more days.
  3. I don't think Will Smith is fired. Just because most of the characters won't be returning doesn't mean Deadshot won't. I am expecting Deadshot (and probably Harley Quinn because I don't see Smith returning without Margot Robbie), Waller, Boomerang, and Rick Flagg to return.
  4. And people did notice those tweets before. Those tweets were discovered ages ago (like right after he got the job for the first GOTG) but no one cared back then because Gunn didn't speak against Trump back then. The only reason Disney fired him is because these MAGA idiots started spreading it after Gunn (deservingly so) started to shit on Trump.
  5. Cernovich (the POS who found the jokes) isn't just a Nazi but a conspiracy theorist and a fucking rapist.
  6. But the original The Shining and the book has a huge following. And Flanagan has proved that he can make crowd pleasing horror multiple times. This could easily breakout.
  7. If Terminator 6 wasn't fucked before, it is fucked now. This movie is going to be It levels of huge.
  8. That is fair I guess. I still disagree with your interpretation and criticism of Spiegelman's use of rodents as Jews but art is meant to be interpreted differently.
  9. Although I agree that Maus isn't any way complex or hard to digest in terms of its message or the way it explores the holocaust, this is such a weird interpretation of the comic. The mouse-cat metaphor isn't in any way mean't to dehumanise the former. Jews were literally decipted as mice by Nazi and killed like mice with poisonous chemicals. Spiegelman wasn't agreeing with Nazis but was trying to show the history of dehumanisation of Jews with one image. It is an image that shows the hierarchy present in Nazi ruled countries. As Miles Orvell who wrote "Krazy Kat, Maus and the Contemporary Fiction Cartoon" said: And please show me these "deeply anti-semitic" undertones. And yes, his father is portrayed in a more negative light post-holocaust but just because his dad horribly suffered in WW2 doesn't free him from his flaws or making shitty actions. That is like saying that Polanski should be absolved of his crimes because he both suffered greatly during the holocaust and had the love of his life and his baby killed after. I agree that Maus isn't deep (and it doesn't have to be as long as it is able to get its message through) but to say that it is dehumanising and anti-sementic and to say that everyone who likes the book (which is most of the people who have read the it) is also an anti-Semite is completely wrong.
  10. Honestly, Trump becoming president and Republicans becoming more fascist than ever has made Democrats a lot more liberal (they used to be a lot more moderate, maybe even slightly right leaning) and we might actually have some good candidates like Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris running for 2020 who will actually help improve these shitty conditions.
  11. https://www.tmz.com/2019/01/29/empire-star-jussie-smollett-attacked-hospitalized-homophobic-hate-crime/ TMZ found these photos of awful letters sent to Smollett. Not sure if there is any correlation between this attack and the letters but shit like this has been going on for way too long. They also look like they were written by a 2-year-old which shows the mental capacity of these MAGA dumbnuts.
  12. I liked/love 9 out of top 25. I like Avatar, The Force Awakens, Skyfall, Aquaman, and TDKR. I love Titanic, Black Panther, The Last Jedi, and LOTR: ROTK.
  13. Beauty and the Beast had no gay sex either but it got an adults rating in Russia. I guess the same thing happened with Bohemian Rhapsody.
  14. How much did it depend on Rami Malek's performance too? I feel like the movie would have done a lot worse if the person who portrayed Mercury did was worse. Also, the movie released in Russia? I thought Russia hated gay people.
  15. I have a feeling it will be Space Jam 2. Witches will probably release a bit later or early December.
  16. Because it actually turned out to be a great kids movie and a fun time. Fox butchered up the marketing by making it seem awful just like WB last year with Paddington 2.
  17. Sad that The King Who Would Be King is flopping. I heard that it is really good to great from most people I have spoken to and that it is better than 90% of kids movies. I hope it has decent legs.
  18. I thought people with top 5% IQ and wrote bestselling books had good reading comprehension. I guess not.
  19. Will we be getting any reactions or reviews from this? Also I wouldn't be sure if this was a press screening unless people have to pay for press screenings in Korea which makes no sense
