Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials | In theaters
MovieMan89 replied to Ash Skywalker's topic in Box Office Discussion
OWs tend to be fairly irrelevant for YA adaptations, the multis end up similar. 2.4-2.7x, except the likes of HP and Twilight which were lower. -

MovieMan89 replied to Ash Skywalker's topic in Box Office Discussion
The big difference there being Divergent got a 2.7x multi vs Maze Runner's 3.1x. That was a crazy high multi for the genre, people obviously like it much more than the average YA movie. Is there even another YA adaptation since the Twilight craze that got a 3x? -

This for sure won't flop. The first had one of the best YA movie multis ever. Should be lots of goodwill for this. -

Yeah, arguably the best themed land Disney or any park has ever created, which is some high praise from a theme park junkie like me (although bear in mind I haven't ever been to Tokyo DisneySea which I know most who have say is the best theme park in the world). On that topic and a more related note to this thread, I'm interested to see how the just announced Toy Story land at the Hollywood Studios in Disney World will pan out. The one concept art we got of it looks good, but I'm not blown away yet or anything:

I was surprisingly into this for the first two acts. The three leads played well off of each other. First time I've seen anything to remember from Hammer or Cavill's acting. Some nifty scenes that were unexpected and fresh for the genre and the plot was unfolding nicely. Had some big problems with the third act though. The plot turns felt a little too pat and I was mistakenly hoping it was leading to something more intriguing than what it was. Then Ritchie's over-indulgence in his stylistic flourishes manifested in a big way in that last act. There was one action/chase scene near the end that was just a disaster of execution. Too bad, this could have been a real hidden gem for me if it had delivered on the promising first two acts. Although it still ended up being better than it looked.

Dreamworks Animation: What Went Wrong?
MovieMan89 replied to A Marvel Fanboy's topic in Box Office Discussion
No. Many of us diehard Pixar fans gripe about them doing so many. But then again if they're TS3 quality and aren't just cash grabs like Cars 2, then I guess there's nothing to be upset about. -
Straight Outta Compton | August 14, 2015
MovieMan89 replied to CaptainJackSparrow's topic in Box Office Discussion
All I'll say on that casting call is if Beyonce is specifically listed as a B type that pretty much waves the red flag of racism playing at least a part when that was written. -
Damn Baumer, you got kinda brutal with a lot of those week 16 questions. All of these were like right on the cusp of yes or no: 6) Will any film in the top 10 fall less than 30%? NO (by 0.7% for Ant-Man. Grr....) 7) Will any film in the top 10, excluding FF, fall more than 45%? YES (by 0.1 freakin percent for The Gift. Shit Mother Fucker!!!) 8) Will Minions make more than Ant-Man? NO (by 350k) 10) Will FF have a Saturday increase of more than 40%? NO (by 2.8%) 11) Will Jurassic World make more than 10 million WW according to Rentrak? YES (by 147k. ) 12) Will Pixels drop less than 38.5%? YES (by 0.4%. )
