Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzUKcXxbU4U
Also, most of the musicals I have watched are Bollywood so I'll post some of my favorites in case anyone wants to watch them, and I'm hoping for suggestions of some others to watch, because I have not kept up with the more modern ones.
Om Shanti Om - Homage/Satire of musicals and Bollywood film industry
SpoilerMain Hoon Na - (action-comedy)
SpoilerKabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... - Family melodrama
SpoilerI haven't actually seen this one yet, but I'm going to have to watch it after seeing this musical number:
Bajirao Mastani - Historical epic

God has spoken
When reading his full quote I do agree with him, but you have to admit that the headline sounds ironic when he had to go to Netflix to get the funding for The Irishman while Marvel movies are one of the few things people will actually pay to see in a theater these days. It just seems that more people prefer, or atleast prefer to see in a theater, the "Theme Park" style of entertainment rather than films which fulfill Scorsese's definition of "cinema."
And this is not to say being produced by Netflix is a bad thing. Their willingness to blow money on non-blockbusters and provide a place for content that would not succeed in today's box office environment is great, and I hope they survive the arrival of D+ and the other streamers. I just wish they would find a way to be able to show their movies in theaters as well for those of us who don't live in LA/NY.

Event status confirmed. Let's not forget that the last two MCU movies where William Hurt returned as Secretary of State Thaddeus ‘Thunderbolt’ Ross cleared 2B.

99% Indian film are shit. Out of over 1000 films made, barely 10-20 are good.
Do you consider Race shit? That was the first Indian film I watched. I guess it's nominally bad, but it's in that so bad it's good territory. Highly entertaining.

Endgame was granted the privilege of being released during that holiday weekend, so there's no further privilege such as extension.
Yeah, I was floored they got that release date to begin with. That whole week and a half was gangbusters.

I still have my list if you need it.

Pretty funny seeing some people trying to cling on to any sign of underperformance for this movie
This was supposed to be #1 of the year, so I'm counting anything under Endgame as an under-performance.

I've been meaning to watch One Piece, it's just the sheer number of episodes seems so daunting.

It’s because of the early-Tues-morning $55M with previews projection. People are acting like it’s C R U M B L I N G because it “dropped” to $39M even though Charlie admitted he incorrectly modeled it based on Friday openings.
(Speaking of...can anyone remind me what movie coined the “crumbling” meme?)

This forum wishes that it is still a place of rational box office discussion. Sometimes it is still pretending to be, by not actually talking about box office, and opt for personal estimation of "admission numbers" in desperate attempts to twist the narrative. That admission thread turns into a confirmation bias circle jerk really quick without Jim Gang's presence. Whatever, that "analysis" is boring and ultimately inconsequential.
This is the level of discourse in this place, right now:
"Endgame fucking pummeled Avatar worldwide, it wasn’t even close. Avatar should be thanking its lucky stars for inflated 3D and great exchange rates for being number 1. Lollerskates"
That guy was clearly trolling. There is no need to get so worked up about that thread. You can take from it what you want. I find it to be an interesting look into how the international box office landscape has changed over the past decade.
Anyway, on topic I'm really looking forward to the 3D for Avatar 2. I'm expecting something mindblowing. Having never seen Avatar in 3D, I'm also hoping that gets re-released in IMAX 3D. People always tell me how great it was. In your guys' opinion do you think any movie released since has surpassed or matched Avatar in the use of 3D? My personal favorites that I have seen (I don't watch much in the format) are:
1. Life of Pi
2. Hugo
3. Doctor Strange
Edit: Also, as a continuation of that Flight of Passage discussion from earlier, I was talking to a guy today about his recent trip to Disney, and he said he waited in line 3 hours... for his second ride through.
People saying Avatar is forgotten are delusional.

AMC has a waiting queue. It’s not Endgame length, but it’s there.
AMC didn't have a queue. It crashed for hours. Guess they've learned from that mistake

Speaking of Titanic re-release. I still remember the funny articles about Kate Winslet being censored.
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/titanic-3d-cuts-china-311644
Quote"I've been waiting almost 15 years, and not for the 3D icebergs," said one widely cited micro blog commentator, according to Xinhua News Agency.
https://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/apr/13/china-censor-kate-winslet-titanic
QuoteOne commenter wrote on the internet: "I waited 15 years to see 3D boobs, not a 3D iceberg."

Those cam videos really do not do the ride justice. Not only is the 3D spectacular, and on a huge screen that fills your entire field of view, but the synchronized motion, wind, mist, and smells all work together to create a truly immersive experience. This is the first ride where I actually caught myself forgetting it was a ride and thinking I was actually there. The attention to detail is massive as well, on my second ride of it I noticed the Ikran breathing and shifting under me, and I'm sure there is even more stuff that I missed. Also, the theming is amazing. The line for this ride is better than many actual rides.
In short, it's the best theme park ride I've ever been on and it's not close. Well worth the ridiculous wait times.

I will try to dig into this later but does anyone know of a wide release film (not art house or limited release) that received a 90% or better critical score on RT but had an audience score of 20+ points below that? It is far more common for critics to hate a wide release film while audiences love it (see Aladdin); but the inverse of that is rare. Black Panther has a difference of 18 points so it is close. Is there any wide release that rivals Booksmart’s 23 point gap and was loved by critics?
ETA: The Favourite has a 26 point difference (93 vs. 67) and it topped out at 1,500+ screens. It’s also a female driven comedy.
A24 typically has a big gap

Some close ones:

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hereditary (89 critic score)
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/it_comes_at_night (87 critic score)

have they really? Woke twitter asks for it but is woke twitter real representation of what GA women want? Ladies on my plane watched Aquaman, not Ocean's 8 or other female driven movie, just for the record. Anecdotal evidence, I know, but it's a big plane with plenty of passengers and #1 choice with women by a large margin was Aquaman.
Moreover, normies of any gender don't care who directs a movie unless it's one of few Star Directors who are draws on their own (Nolan, Cameron, QT, Spielberg, etc). So very doubtful that any normie lady checked who directed Booksmart as a reason to see the movie.
Finally, concept is everything. Just because the movie has women in it, is about women, etc it doesn't mean it looks more appealing to women than a movie with different concept. My teenage sisters totally wanted to see Aladdin, and have no interest in Booksmart, for example. They find Jasmine more appealing cause she is pretty, wears terrific clothes, sings and has 2 guys fight over her. they don't find Booksmart girls appealing either as wishful thinking (which Jasmine is) or someone they relate to.
Sorry Olivia but just making it all about women doesn't necessarily make it more appealing to all women when there's more appealing alternative such as Aladdin, EG, etc.
Funny you should say this, because I was just on a plane and the woman next to me was watching Aquaman.
I guess they’ve got that airplane demo on lock
