I can't agree with this because I live in the UK therefore I witness so many people simply say 'it was a really good film'. It's not like Mamma Mia, it's not a musical. Can't people just accept that audiences simply thought it was a good movie?

Yeah well I'm personal friends with Tom Skerritt

Well that's embarassing

I'm new. I'm not troll savvy

Which movie?

pretty sure Apple and Amazon are not franchises as all stores are company owned According to google, Subway is actually the worlds largest franchise, Mcdonalds being second. Surprised me

Lets not pretend BR wont be more popular than The favourite in 10 years time. Its a huge crowd pleaser

With all the shit James Bond has gotten lately over its treatment of women, i dont think having Bond beat the shit out of a female as the climax would go down smooth 😂. And he couldn't lose the fight because that would be far fetched. A smart female Bond villain would work instead. Lena Headey would be good

I think Cameron fanboys are just called 'General Audience'

It would only work if she was a genius with her own male henchman because we wouldn't want Daniel Craig having a fist fight with a female villain during the climax

Screw Gravity, It will take something truly special to top Interstellar

Casino royale should count though. Best female character in a bond movie and technically she was the villain with the best motivations of the series

Wikipedia? Lol did you just ignore what I said? Marvel combined is bigger, the list shows that Anyways I really don't care, technically McDonald's or subway is the biggest franchise if we really want to reach, but this is a box office forum and in terms of box office Pokemon doesn't even make the list

https://www.google.com/amp/s/comicbook.com/gaming/amp/2018/08/28/pokemon-highest-grossing-media-franchise/ "Pokemon's place at the top is helped by the list makers considering Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Hulk, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe different "franchises" instead of part of the overall Marvel brand. If all of the Marvel properties on the list were combined under one entity, they'd beat the Pokemon franchise by about $2 billion." So technically Marvel is bigger 😉 Also I was under the impression this was strictly box office

And BR will be on everyone's DVD shelves

I fail to see how a movie like Bohemian Rhapsody which earned 850m through the power of amazing WOM will be less remembered in 10 years than the likes of The Favourite and Blackkklansman which really haven't made much of an impact anywhere. Judging from social media Green Book's win has been better received than last years winner. The people who dislike it are just a lot louder but clearly part of the few and not the many. Also metacritic scores doesn't mean much, look at BR, the critics got that very wrong

What's hilarious is DC fans and Marvel fans all watch marvel movies, and they will all watch DC movies when they get back on tract with quality too. Its literally Comic book fans arguing amongst themselves.

Star wars in bigger in US and UK than Avatar was though. Not sure about other western countries though

A franchise war thread Star wars is the franchise king for western audiences. Only franchise film here with a movies in the top 20 adjusted. 5 movies actually, thats unreal and shows it stands the test of time. Right now Marvel is the franchise king worldwide with a larger chunk of pie coming from non western audiences. So it's a tricky one

I think if someone needs a movie to tell them what's wrong and what's right then something's gone wrong with the upbringing of that person. There are certain films however that make me more aware of certain situations, an example of that would be Spotlight. It's just crazy to think a movie like Green Book would fuel racism. Sure it pokes fun at certain stereotypes but that doesn't mean people will go around offering fried chicken to every black man they come across. I love movies and have always had a strange fascination with box office, writing in forums has never been my thing though, I'm a newbie

I don't really have time to watch everything. If it's the movie I think it is, it looked liked Fruitville Station

Films dont add or end racism. They are just films

Why can't it be feel good? why must every movie about racism focus on the absolute worst of it, most of whom alive now had no part of? what is that really going to achieve? To be given that CIA job in the first place he will have needed a high tier of education and opportunity before being set out on their missions. The film didn't even bother to show how he was oppressed in any way. But anyways I'm not going to sit and argue with you about 2 films i liked, i dont see the benefit in it. If you didnt like Green Book? cool, that's your opinion. i didn't see anything stupid with Green Book, everyone around me loved it, social media for once is actually saying the oscars got it right for a change, i guess there always going to be a few haters with loud opinions, luckily most people wont listen to you and get on with enjoying what they want to enjoy. The only backlash I've actually seen on social media with Green Books win is with a few people that felt Bohemian Rhapsody deserved the award. So again, congrats Green Book on a deserved best picture win, certainly better than last years winner in my opinion. Just seen your Anime Avatar, all makes sense now

Im sorry but this is just plain bullshit. i watched Black Panther and accepted white people all being labelled colonists, unable to even share an opinion in the world of Wakanda. I enjoyed and jumped on the 'villain was so great' bandwagon despite him literally having no reason to want to give 'the oppressed' the tools to fight for themselves. I ignored the fact that it was killmongers own kind that killed his father and left him an as orphan whilst white people gave him the opportunity to work for the CIA (which takes high qualifications to accomplish, something oppressed people wouldn't have) and i was able to put these nitpicks behind me and see the movie in cinemas twice and have a great time. Now for the love of god let me enjoy Green Book without feeling guilty, please. We have come a long way in 50 years, there's still a further way to go and i enjoyed watching a movie which deals with more relevant racism we see today than films like Black Klansman which are really just highlighting how terrible a very tiny fraction of society is.
