When are we getting Friday actuals?
Monday
-
Last time they were around in the UK, it was with Happy Meal toys from more than a decade ago.

Pretty much. I don't think it has been on UK TV since the 90's. I loved it though and remember watching the movies on TV.

IMO Transformers and JW aren't really alike at all. Transformers is a much more ambitious movie with stellar characters and some really emotionally intense scenes where JW is just throw popcorn in your face and watch dinosaurs throw down.

Is peanuts and the gang big overseas?
It was known as The Charlie Brown and Snoopy show in the UK but it was popular when I was a kid.

Too many new users? Too many posts per second? Too many posts? Too many users online?
Whatever it is the whole place is going to break

Nope....Peanuts Movie will be huge and so will Ghostbusters 3. I'm saying it right now

So $210m is in play....possibly more. A shocking weekend.
This is all down to the power of nostalgia. I expect big things for Star Wars, The Peanuts Movie, BvS, Independence day 2 and Ghostbusters 3.

The characters & story are pretty meh honestly, not why it's a classic.

keanu confirmed hes doing a matrix 4 and 5 and b and t #3. So reboot is unlikely
No he didn't it was a fabricated story from 2011

I know we're speaking of different things here, but Keanu really doesn't need anything. He's gone on the record as saying that he's made more money than he would need for 50 lifetimes. I think he makes the movies he wants to make now. He doesn't need a studio hit, he just needs to be happy with what he's doing. My bet is, however, that if the Wachowski's asked him to do a 4th Matrix, he would.
There was a 2nd and 3rd Matrix movie? I don't remember it.

You know full well pure Friday means normal operating hours.
It's a pointless statistic as the way moviegoers see blockbusters now has changed. Before huge crowds will go at Midnight and see tentpole movies first but after the TDKR incident previews are not as appealing.
-
The Independence Day sequel is now looking like a much bigger potential hit.... never underestimate the power of 90s nostalgia.
Very true, however it would have been bigger if Will Smith was in it.
-
Home Alone sequel with Macaulay Culkin as the dad
That would actually be huge
-
I don't get this biggest 'pure' Friday record. Last time I checked DH2 opened midnight which is part of Friday. DH2 made $91M in 24 hours. It wins on 'pure' Friday.

LOL! The Sunday drop will not be "massive." This movie has captured the zeitgeist in a way that an individual non-final deciding basketball game and a pay cable series season finale combined could never hope to.
But....but.........WINTER IS COMING!!
-
Get ready for JAWS
dun nuh, dun nuh, dun nuh duh nuh dun nuh
Sequel? I can do. Remake? I WILL KILL EVERYONE INVOLVED.
-
If this means more creature features and less superhero movies I am all for it.
-
Say it again.
The camerawork, cinematography, set design and direction is really great. It really holds up well and, dare I say it, really is the best installment in the franchise.

OFF TOPIC: Harry Potter 3 is on and I forgot how well made it is. Truly a beautiful film.

I would like to apologize for telling everybody what would happen in advance & thusly ruining what would have been an otherwise awesome suprise regarding JURASSIC WORLD's opening weekend gross.

Nostalgia is a powerful force in America.

IO is pretty much fucked by the schedule. Opening after a family movie makes 200M is hard. Add the fact that it's legs will be destroyed by Minions a few weeks later and even te lower expectations of people around here might be too much.
I am a big PIXAR fan but I honestly see IO under-performing. It just doesn't have that hook. It's marketing material has been solid rather than good/great. Minions is going to destroy records.

Yep, good post. I see what you mean.
But from personal memory, I remember having some heated discussions with Shawn, as close as 2 or 3 days away from the OD and he was still trying to convince me that NM wouldn't come close to 100 mill. I only remember this because I opened a NM over 100 mill OW thread and for the first two months of it, I was basically a pariah.
So we just have different recollections of it's opening...prior to it opening.
Oh I was here that weekend. We were all shocked. I thought Twilight OW was the peak of the franchise but when those numbers came in everyone went into crazy mode. I think Eclipse was more shocking for how unpredicted it was. The potential was there but because it was a female driven franchise we all ignored the signs.

You're forgetting the fuss New Moon caused when it blew expectations way out of the water.
I guess but it didn't have that impact all those 6 movies had in my honest opinion. It is definitely still a huge shocker but SM was the first $100M OW. Shrek made $100M over 3 days after opening quite low on Wednesday. JW is looking to cross $200 OW (and possible OW record) when it was expected to struggle past half of that for 3 day. The Avengers was the first movie to pass $200M in 3 days. THG grossed $150M+ in 3 days without 3d and in March. American Sniper blew past $90 in 3 days when it had already been on limited release plus it was rated R.

I never watched 4. 3 was decent from what I remember. They should have ended this after 3.
