Well I didn't say it was an "acclaimed" career... But Billy Bob isn't very acclaimed either when you get past the oscar, something Cuba Gooding Jr also has.
-
Considering Thornton's last worthwhile film was indeed the first Bad Santa, I can't say I'm shocked he thought returning to that might be a good idea. He should stick to TV now, at least had a few worthwhile things there in the last decade.
-
Greek Wedding 2 still hit 60m. WC2 could surely manage that at least. But with the first film's budget that would still be a bomb. OS would maybe be 30m.
-
Certainly not nearly as doomed as most of these late comedic sequels. After all, Wedding Crashers was like a 300m juggernaut comedy adjusted for inflation, compared to most of these sequels to cult comedy classics. I'd imagine it would do at least 75m even if things go bad for it.

Hmm, yet you're the biggest Zootopia fan on the planet?
-
I think the diner scene is whatever you want to make it because there's so little to it. Personally I found it lazy. If other people want to make it something more, good for them for obviously being more invested than me to take the time to do the filmmaker's job. For me personally it's just kind of a cop out filmmaking technique.
-
I mean I didn't think it was particularly memorable, but at least it gave some resolution after a whole lot of nothing.
-
Huh, I thought he seemed very green. Definitely preferred Holland. Overall, concerning the last act, I just thought the script was decidedly lazy with the potential set up by the first two acts.
-
The marketing felt non-existent and then it got that horrid critical reception to top it off, so it's beyond DOA. It could miss 25m DOM.
-
I really do feel like Moonlight seems to be getting an unwarranted pass for that very lackluster third act (aka the act you can skip except the last 5 minutes). Why is no one calling it out for that?
-
Dear god, really? Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention, I'll stop liking and supporting his films immediately.
-
If they cut Mater out completely I might actually see it...on Netflix.
-
BatB probably has more of a chance at doing 400m than any film from this year did.
-
You forgot hero to all. You're doing great, from the top.
-
Not my point though. The point is that when you look at Avatar's OS gross, it looks like something ungodly that nothing has even come close to. Not really true though. The likes of Furious 7, TFA, and JW all got way closer to that level than it appears.
-
Damn, that's crazy how much it drops. It really wasn't all that much more successful than TFA OS.
-
^I concur with the Edgerton taking over Ferrell's role suggestion. That would've been great.
-
Lmfao, ONE person loudly cheered and clapped for this trailer at my packed Moana screening yesterday, while the rest of us all be like
-
Queenie was the most endearing new character for sure. There was some kind of Luna Lovegood as an adult vibe I got from her too.
-
Yeah I was skeptical it could hold well as a Potter film, but looking at a really good 45m second weekend. That said, it doesn't have a whole lot of room for good holds after this. Weekend after Thanksgiving is always rough for drops and then we head into the crowded December period. Will at least clear 200 though, so that multi is a win for the Potter franchise.
-
I don't know, the marketing is outdoing Pets in terms of internet activity at least. I do agree that this doesn't have as much immediate appeal for kids as SLOP did though. The SLOP teaser trailer remains a stroke of genius in terms of getting kids on board immediately. But the holiday holds could balance that out. In the end I think it will still miss SLOP's gross, but I think Minions is a decent target.
-
On the plus side, the new date means they do indeed have a ton of faith in this really breaking out so I guess we should consider that as a great sign. On the negative side, the old date was probably better to avoid the sheer competition of the new releases that weekend.
-
The good news is Moana had a significantly higher preview # than Frozen, so if you take that out its Thursday drop is more on par with Frozen's.
