And Jaws was a PG-rated film! Ha, you could get away with so much more in a PG film in the 70s and early 80s. The Kintner boy death scene still shocks me every time I see it. Can't believe how much blood Spielberg uses, its like an explosion of blood contrasted against that yellow raft.

Alien is a slasher movie, Aliens is a war movie.

Alien and Aliens are two entirely different types of movie. It's like comparing Star Trek to Star Wars.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if C.H.U.D. made the list.

Halloween not even in the top 10. Iunno about you, BB.

Industry tracking was never as low as $30m. And Deadline backs me up.

I said you were incorrect, not lying. And you were, implying that the industry consensus at the time was that Oceans 8 would open at $30m which it was not.

"Warner Bros./Village Roadshow’s gender swap all-star heist comedy Ocean’s 8 arrived on tracking this morning with industry projections indicating that the pic could open to $45M when it opens on June 8. Some tracking firms have the all femme pic at $30M, but it will come as no surprise if Ocean’s 8 debuts at the level of Sony’s all-girl reboot Ghostbusters ($46M opening, $128.3M domestic, $229.1M WW)." https://deadline.com/2018/05/rihanna-anne-hathaway-oceans-8-box-office-opening-projection-1202393228/

That's just flat out incorrect. Industry tracking was never as low as $30m. Initial, long range tracking had Oceans 8 pegged at $45m. Heading into this weekend, that estimate dropped to $35-40m. Please provide a link to a reputable source (Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Deadline) that had numbers you're quoting.

They're saving that and the red-band trailer for Halloween for Incredibles 2.

Looks like Ocean's 8 is tracking at $40-45m including Thursday. But the real suspense is whether Hereditary can beat Solo and Deadpool 2 to come in at second. I'm thinking it can.

"...the film would stand fundamentally against human dignity." HAHAHAHAHA, AWESOME!!! I could only wish that if I ever made a movie, it would get such a ringing endorsement!

Thanks, going to the Review section to check that out right now!

Would love to read your review of the film! 😀

Could Hereditary pull the upset and actually beat Deadpool 2 and Solo to come in second? Right now, Box Office Mojo has Hereditary pegged at $12m for the weekend, Deadpool 2 at $13m and Solo at $14.5m.

No order yet, just trying to get the quotes written down. Also, trying to avoid the quotes that have already been mentioned.

Fair enough. I guess we'll know in a couple days. :)

I see Oceans 8 meeting or coming in a little under projections, $35m-$40m. Reviews have been only average and I just don't see a lot of demand for this movie. There's been a glut of chick flicks so far this summer, Overboard, Breaking In, Life of the Party and Book Club, so I don't see any pent-up demand for another female-centric movie.

Cameron himself said on the commentary that Aliens was a thriller and specifically not a horror movie. Army of Darkness, Predator, all great choices, Brainbug...except of course for You're Next. And Alien: Covenant was absolute garbage. What I hated the most about that movie was that everyone wanted a true 'Alien' picture, the studio, the fans, everyone. Everyone except for Scott. So Scott pretended to give people what they wanted but really made a Prometheus sequel and basically gave a giant F.U. to the fans and everyone.

Wingard thinks he's so cool and clever but his films just come off as smarmy and juvenile. If the soundtrack is the best thing you can say about a movie, it means the movie sucks. Oh, the Hot Shots of horror? Hmmm... yeah, I have no idea. :P

Ugh, I can't stand You're Next. Adam Wingard is so overrated in my opinion.

Will it be The Strangers? Or Funny Games? Similar themes, entirely different approaches. Or...are we going completely old school and picking Straw Dogs?

I think James Caan was perfect for the role. He's always been a very physical, very muscular actor. To paralyze him and place him in a life and death situation where he can't use his legs is genius.

England and hilarious? Has to be Shaun of the Dead!
