  1. TIL vale9001 is the maximum Zendaya expert and even knows what films she has or hasn't watched.
  2. Then why is Godzilla Minus One the most acclaimed Godzilla film in ages? Did people stop wanting dumb fun because it was japanese? Yeah, I agree that you shouldn't expect to get Citizen Kane out of a disaster movie. But I sure as fuck don't think anyone is walking out of the theater upset if they do get Citizen Kane out of it, so to speak.
  3. Sure, ok, let me phrase it better: just because people are interested in dumb spectacle shouldn't mean something more shouldn't be delivered.
  4. What's "the kind of movie" that is worthy of a 90% tomatometer? Godzilla x Kong and Godzilla Minus One are both disaster movies, Fast and Furious and Mad Max are both spectacle blockbusters centered around vehicles. Just because peeps can be forgiving on certain films doesn't mean doing better shouldn't be demanded.
  5. If they gave DP2 a (very late) release this one could get one too, but given that DP was never that popular in China even in better times I wouldn't expect it to make more than like 20M anyway.
  6. he only likes the number 7 as the second digit and followed by a .5
  7. I mean this is Japan so legs can be literally anything, if it does open to 3-4M it should at minimum make double digits though
  8. based on quick scout wouldn't expect more than 500Mish yen OW for oppy so I'd agree with Issac, seems accurate to me
  9. Wouldn't expect more than 500M yen OW based on a very quick scout of some key locations
  10. I can't tell if you genuinely don't get it or you're just that deep into the troll act but 1.9 is Charlie's Dune number and 1.65 is Charlie's KFP number, they have nothing to do with Ghostbusters.
  11. Charlie is basically saying that if Sony really does report 45 that doesn't line up with the numbers he has and that's a bit too big a gap to really trust it being genuine. Other examples of this were Dune2 thu being too high (WB likely just took something from the next few days to report better preview number) and I recall one other big example Charlie uses being TFA.
  12. If you only stay in theaters for the ones that are good it's not even as long as the LOTR trilogy though.
  13. the oscars bump wasn't really a big deal when spirited away won it - iirc, it was only an extra 800M yen or so you just expected too much really
  14. 86% in verified era is mixed at best for a franchise. that said I do not want to make this a convo for this thread.
  15. Alien 3 basically killed any hopes of this continuing to be a big franchise by taking a big steamy dump on the aftermath of Aliens and just being a bad film itself. Everything afterwards has ranged from mediocre to bad so it's hard to fault audiences for not giving that much of a fuck. The first 2 films were classics, the rest is horror schlock. Which still has its audience but it's certainly not as big.
  16. Sony's spiderman films should not have been critically acclaimed either.
  17. Wait, is that a 5.6M monday internationally? So weekdays are also pacing roughly 2x of DOM now.
