Question- Does Disney have a lock on premium format theaters for I2 for next weekend? And if so, how badly is this gonna hurt Fallen Kingdom? -
Frozen 2 not getting past 600m domestic???? You seriously need to get your head checked.
-
Difference being, people left I2 happy whereas most everyone left IW pissed off.
-
At this point, you're looking at an opening weekend of $175-180m MINIMUM. A+ CinemaScore. The only serious competition for the ENTIRE summer being Ant-Man and The Wasp, Hotel Transylvania 3 and Christopher Robin. 600m+ domestic is all but assured.
-
At this point, it looks like Disney is going to have three $600m+ Domestic grossing films in a single year. Be afraid, be very afraid.
-
We had a trailer for Dog Days in front of I2 and lemme tella ya that looks like the biggest pile of dog $#@! I've seen in awhile.
-
Just an observation- I2 was the first movie this summer that the audience clapped at the end of the picture. In my theater at least.

The Incredibles 2 (2018)
L Silverman replied to baumer's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
A lot of fun but nowhere near as good as the first movie. Also, not nearly as big in terms of scale as the first Incredibles. It the first film was the special, two hour premiere of a new TV series, I2 would be the first regular hour long episode, still above average but lacking that magic and excitement. -

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
L Silverman replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
Except I2 is that odd bird, an animated action film. I could see it crossing over and being as big of a hit with SW/Marvel fans, that type of crowd, as it is with families and kids. -
The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
L Silverman replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
I think we're looking at a perfect storm for I2 exactly identical to JW three years ago. Wouldn't be at all surprised if I2 ends up doing between $180-200m for the weekend. -
Fun fact about Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)- Sutherland's ear-piercing pod scream from the last scene comes courtesy of Ben Burtt, the legendary Oscar-winning sound effects genius of Star Wars. http://www.indiewire.com/2010/06/the-scream-adam-nayman-on-invasion-of-the-body-snatchers-225763/ (And oh, sorry Baumer, I'm been lurking around and I have been reading your Top 50 but haven't been commenting, sorry.)

It's torture porn without the porn.

Don't know if anyone's mentioned this yet, but the first two weekends of June have the lowest BO totals for the entire year except for Super Bowl weekend. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/

As a director, Landis gets credited more for the comedy than the horror in comedy-horror but he crafted, imo, one of the most terrifying straight horror sequences in American Werewolf. Take a watch below if you haven't already seen it. The final shot from the top of the escalator is an "Oh My God!" moment every time for me!
-
You're right! Well, one Corey is one Corey too many for me.
-
I LOVE The Gate, The Dead Zone and They Live. Gary Busey gives a great performance in Silver Bullet but I could never get past the casting of Corey and Corey, it just takes me completely out of the movie.
-
Awesome start, baumer! (The only reason I didn't 'like' your post is that apparently I'm not allowed any more reactions for the day :P) So...baumer, two people picked Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter as one of your top 3 horror movies of all time. Is there something I should know here?
-
Don't apologize for liking what you like! It's YOUR list!
-
Thank you for doing that, Brainbug! While I have some substantial disagreements with your list, I really appreciate your insights into what films meant the most to you. Loved that you included the soundtracks too!
-
They steal your breath while you're sleeping!

I love Jonesy! Hahaha, the Xenopedia on him tries to blame him for Brett's death! http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Jones_(cat)

And Star Wars follows the same plot outline as Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress but no one in their right mind would call them the same movie.

Fun fact about Alien- Ridley Scott, Dan O'Bannon and Sigourney Weaver get credit for making that film a classic and deservedly so. But the unsung hero was producer Walter Hill who did an uncredited re-write on O'Bannon's screenplay. O'Bannon's original characters and dialogue were more akin to his work on Dark Star. It was Hill, an action director who frankly didn't care much for sci-fi. who made them truckers in space, re-named all the characters, added the android and made the Company the evil behind-the-scenes player.
