  1. Also, test screenings arent the end all be all. All we heard from anon and others for months was how great flash was, how great it was testing, how confident Wb was.
  2. Yeah it's surprising death on the nile was so expensive when the cast was worse, and it didn't look nearly as nice as orient express visually.
  3. He did the same thing for Malignant funny enough. For months he went on about how it was a total disaster and was gonna be hated.
  4. I was just gonna say this. People love to play revisionist history now with it, but the first film had lots of competition and people said it was gonna get destroyed. Years later people say "the competition was weak" and that's why it did well. Looking back,between December 14th and 25th you had: Into the Spider Verse Mortal engines The mule Mary Poppins Bumblebee Vice Holmes and Watson Welcome to marwen The Favorite Mary Queen of Scots That's a wide, diverse slate. I recall Mary Poppins especially being proclaimed early as the one that would sweep the season.
  5. In fairness, that's far more to do with James Wan than WB. And he packed his bags and is gone now.
  6. At the very least they should not have announced a new universe so early, effectively killing the entire upcoming slate.
  7. Equalizer 3 was solid. I don't think any of the movies have risen above that for me. They're never quite as good as you want them to be, but still a decent time. I'd rank them 1 3 2
  8. I love the Conjuring universe. I wish we got 1 every year. I miss having a yearly horror franchise.
  9. RT is useless for tv shows. Its formula just doesn't work for that format. Metacritic is the better site for TV.
  10. To be honest, they're guilty pleasure movies for me. And my mom adores him so I always take her to see them. We were bummed it doesn't seem to be releasing here.
  11. To be honest, I don't know how these keep getting funding. They must make a killing on vod or something. They all seem to have $40M budgets and keep opening under $5M. I just looked at his wiki and he already has 3 more of them lined up and coming soon.
  12. The real question is, how much money is Liam Neeson's latest masterpiece, Retribution going to make? Sadly it seems it won't be releasing in Canada. This has become a trend this year particularly with MGM and Luonsgate.
  13. He said Ben affleck was wanting to direct a film for him and then Ben flat out said publicly he wasn't interested. Either Gal or Gunn is lying about the wonder woman stuff. Gunn said actors would not play multiple characters, but hired fillion for green lantern after already playing a character in TSS. I can keep going.
  14. Someone else did. But all they did was send someone in to stand there for a few minutes and then they left because people were being quiet with them there.
  15. Went and saw Strays tonight and sadly got hit with my first bad audience experience I've had in years. I go every week to the movies so that's a pretty good deal to not happen for so long. Sure people will talk a bit or take out a phone once in a while but its never been anything sustained through a movie to be an annoyance to ruin the movie. But tonight there was a group of girls in there 20s, and they were chit chatting and playing on their phones and not paying attention. They weren't being overtly loud or obnoxious so I chose to ignore it. Unfortunately about 15 minutes in a group of guys joined them and they all got loud, obnoxious and horrible. Just completely disrespectful. It went on for about 10 minutes before I had enough and yelled at them to stfu, I paid to watch a movie not listen to them. Told them the next person I hear talking or on their phone is getting my drink on them. They mostly shut up after, but 2 of the guys came into my row and sat near me. I figured they were gonna approach me after the movie but nothing escalated thankfully. Didn't really get to enjoy the movie much because I let my anger get the best of me and felt like I had to be on alert in case they pressed the issue.
