The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
lorddemaxus replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
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. -

Are these Lego Movie numbers any good? -
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.

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.

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.

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.

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
