MovieMan89

This is definitely surprising to me. DWA is in rough shape and The Croods is one of their biggest successes from this decade. My only guess is they fear a worse fate than How to Train Your Dragon 2 and apparently don't think it's worth it. Even though HTTYD2 still made pretty big bank. Weird.

I liked Arrival a lot better. Much more satisfying payoff. Moonlight falls apart in the third act for me, brought the movie down significantly.

Did you see the whole dex prior or letting a lot of the new ones be a surprise? The secondary typings for all the new ghosts work really well on a team, except I'll have two grass/ghost if I stick with all ghost.

#teamrowlet Goin all ghost team in Moon. GF really let them shine this gen.

I like Emilia when she has a good script to work with (i.e. GoT). Give her a chance I say, yet to do a film where she had anything to work with.

I mean TDK is more practical effects and Button is more special effects. The award is Visual Effects, so that doesn't haven't to automatically mean special, could be practical too.

When I see BB and TDK together I sure as hell am not thinking Benjamin Button.

Yikes @ Dr. Strange. I figured a 55% drop would happen, but 65% would be awful. Then again, that second weekend was unusually fantastic for MCU these days so maybe it's just evening itself out.

Well that's true, knowing Disney's current whoring of Star Wars, they probably have an entire Rogue One trilogy planned between the PT and OT.

I'd also argue it would have sat comfortably in the 80's on the tomatometer if not for 3 out of every 5 bad reviews being exclusively focused on HFR and how it was the death of everything good.

And Rogue One will remind Americans that the good guys die. Happy Holidays!

It's the spin off of MovieMan never learned the "proper" way to type and therefore is a typo machine.

This is the foreshadowing to Rouge One, y'all have been warned. I knew the two spin offs this Holiday were going to disappoint everyone's box office expectations.

Holy fuck, that's abysmal for FB unless this isn't going to play remotely like a Potter film. That's its only hope now. Dammit, I knew the 70-75 OW range was all I felt comfortable with for months, shouldn't have gone up to 85 this week.

1. What will Dr Strange's total be at the end of the game? 212m 2. What will Arrival's total be by the end of the game? 75m 3. What will Passengers' 3 day OW be? 35m 4. What will Underworld's Second weekend percentage drop be? -53% 5. What will be the difference in gross between Hacksaw and Allied by the end of the game (No need to state which is higher)? 6M 6. What will La La Land's multiplier be from it's (9th December limited) opening weekend? 85x 7. What will Moana's 12 day total be (The end of its second Sunday)? 117m 8. How many days will Fantastic Beasts make more than $1M? 20 9. What will Sing's Opening Day including Previews be? 16m 10. How much will Rogue One make in Thursday previews? 13m

Yeah put me for both.

Sure why not. I really don't see 400.

Maybe I'm nuts but I think that poster is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Kong's proportions look so drastically huge on it, all I can do is chuckle at the cartoony silliness of it all.

I'd love to see this take Best Score at the Oscars above all else. Fantastically atmospheric, added a lot to several scenes.

Deal.

Well they have 4 sequels in development right now and only 6 films including Sing. We know SLOP 2 and DM3 are two of the four. That leaves the other 2 to be Minions 2, Sing 2, or The Lorax 2. Likely the former 2, but you never know I guess. Alternatively I suppose the other 2 could be SLOP3 and DM4 considering SLOP2 went into development like a year ago.

I think marketing has been abysmal from a general audience perspective. I can't imagine anyone outside of the diehard video game fans of AC are convinced. Warcraft all over again (except probably without China saving it).

Hopefully after this is another massive blockbuster for Illumination, people stop severely underestimating them at the B.O. with every release. It's getting tired and basically equivalent to predicting that the next Pixar film was only gonna do 100m back in 2004.

Should be red on Inferno, red on DS, black on Trolls, and dead on on Arrival.
