  1. Fact is mocking writers because of what they supposedly wrote is stupid, all movies get rewrites at some point with like sometimes 4 to 5 credits, I bet most of the time, the original or credited writers' script has nothing to do with what's on screen. I think Cameron knows what he's doing obviously.
  2. Don't get why critics are harsh on this, it's imo a very clever movie full of extremely charismatic cast, great set pieces, full of twists and turns, very funny, a real crowd pleaser.
  3. Whoever called for 800 M + was delusional, I saw btw 400 & 500, should get close to 400 M.
  4. We always said this was going to be a hard sell from the beginning, the movie has no star power, del Toro is unknown from the GA, the genre is primarily aimed at fanboys, geeks, Kaiju fans, and yet, the movie is on track to 350-400 million WW, how is that not good? The budget is 190 M (allegedly so) yes, but it could have been much much worse.
  5. The number in France is good, it's an original movie, it's doing more than Monsters University there, and plenty of movies have underperformed over there too, so it's good.
  6. This is a X-Men movie, it's a great result, stop saying "Oh it's ok", because you're comparing it to other movies, for an X-Men movie, it's very good.
  7. Still, Legendary didnt pay for the entire thing, it's worth noting.
  8. Do people here remember that Legendary paid for 75 % of the budget? Hence 125 M, not 190, marketing excluded.
  9. Ridiculous, SR did 360 M, MOS 650 +, it is a big success, there's no spinning that.
  10. Stop twisting reality, 650 + M for MOS is great, why? Superman Returns barely did 360 M, this made 300 M more, one of the biggest reboots ever, it is fantastic, simple as that.
  11. China + Japan could contribute more than 100 M together, 350-400 M is the target I think, considering how After Earth, Oblivion and other original properties underwhelmed this summer, it's pretty good.
  12. Gewd news, along with the "low" budget.
  13. Apparently, 141.1 M worldwide opening, sounds pretty good.
  14. Hum, what is all the fuss about? It's a good number, considering that Origins was a turd and nearly ruined the franchise. The 80 M tracking figure was ridiculous, it was always aiming at 60-70 M, the budget is super low, it's going to be big overseas, why so negative?
  15. Fact is XFC had an extremely rushed production, The VFX teams (among which was WETA) had like a couple of months to do it all. Considering that, the result is pretty impressive.
  16. The beach scene is really fantastic yeah, my favorite moment is definitely when Moira walks up to Magneto when he loses his mind, and begins firing her gun, leading to Xavier getting one in the back, this is such a badass moment.
  17. Kinda, but really, it's just the last 10 min or so, it doesnt hurt the movie at all imo.
  18. Yeah, true, it becomes superheroic in the third act (and that's the problem some critics have with it, but it's fine really). Wolverine does act very heroic though.
  19. 3D on this is very lazy, they just do it because they know that they will eat it up overseas, can't fault them for that.
  20. I read 125 M but it's in the ballpark, pretty impressive still. The film is pretty contained in its scale compared to other superhero movies, and it is a very smart choice as it makes the movie stand out.
  21. 125 million I think, it's gonna make tons of dough.
  22. Origins was a turd, this comes after that, this has to be taken into account no? See Hangover Part 3......
