so many of your posts on this page have had such a weirdly homophobic undertone to them
For saying musicals are gay and for liking BR. Wow, so homophobic...

Yes, and I’m a bisexual who’s viewing a movie about a bisexual. Just because it’s made by a gay guy doesn’t mean it’s automaticaly not homophobic. Especially because he had little to no involvement with the script.
The movie is called Bohemien rhapsody, not the queer life of Freddie mercury. Nothing will ever please you people. People came for the band and the music, choosing not to make his queer life which led to aids the centre of the movie was a good choice as it's clearly not a tone people want to see and the numbers support this. Queens music touched on so many people lives, there's nothing wrong with making that the main focus of the film, if you don't like it then fair enough but calling it homophobic just doesn't make your opinion credible

Sorry for sharing my opinion on a movie forum. Especially when one makes a post that seems to be a direct response to my opinion. I’ll refrain from doing so in the future so I don’t offend “snowflakes” like you.
You called the movie homophobic, you don't deserve an opinion. It was even made by a gay guy 😂

Even if the movie wasn’t directed by Bryan Singer, it’d still be generic, cliched, a bore to watch, weirdly homophobic, and littered with inaccuracies for contrived dramatic tension. Stop acting as if this is some “agenda” whenever someone doesn’t like the movie. I hate everything about this movie, and Bryan Singer being the director of it is just the cherry on top.
No-one cares about your opinion. The majority love this movie and see nothing homophobic with it but hey there's always a few snowflakes who want to throw their toys out the cot because a biopic about one of the most famous bands of all time didn't focus on the gays too much. <Mod Edit>

Imagine rooting for an extremely mediocre biopic just to stick it to the libtards and the "elite" critics (who live in cramped studios and work for dying newspapers just because of their love of film - such bad, elite people!)
I think the problem you and alot of others who actually agree with you nonsense is you're too young to get why people appreciated this movie. In the UK everyone seems to have loved this and somehow I doubt their choice was made because they wanted to stick it to 'libtards' or critics.

I don't get the BR win hate. First of all was Brian singer ever actually convicted of anything? Because as of now it's a bit much to assume he's a predator. Secondly everyone seems to love this movie, thousands of people worked on this movie and it deserves all the praise it's getting so why all the hate? It's certainly better than last year's Shape of Water

Looking at some big stars and their ratio of ‘hits’ per movie (over 100m DOM Adjusted) since their breakout movie and ‘big hits’ per movie (over 250m DOM Adjusted), I’m also going to not count major franchise roles as RDJ likely isn’t a major draw but RDJ as Iron Man is.
Of Smith and the 3 actors I’d say are definitive draws here are some examples, I may try and make a chart.
DiCaprio
72% of films adjust over 100m post Titanic
17% of films adjust over 250m since Titanic
Smith
55% of films adjust over 100m post Made in America (61% if you include MIB2 and 3, and Bad Boys 2)
25% of films adjust over 250m post Made in America (26% if you include MIB 2 and 3 and Bad Boys 2)
Denzel
46% of films adjust over 100m since Malcom X
0% adjust over 250m
Johnson
41% adjust over 100m since Scorpion King (factors out Moana and Furious franchises, 38% if you exclude Jumanji, 35% if you exclude Scorpion King, 32% if you exclude GI Joe 2)
5% over 250m if you include Jumanji, otherwise 0%
Let's not forget Sandra Bullock either

Says the person who has shown zero clue as to how box office works. Tell me, what happened to those poor legs for Mary Poppins you said were a guarantee based on the opening weekend numbers?
I personally like Emily Blunts legs

It was a good run.
All you need to know about these numbers is Mary Poppins isn't grossing 400m

If you don’t know about box office why are you here? You’re always asking the same question again and again with every numbers related post.
Just because he doesn't quite get how the numbers work it doesn't mean he can't show interest. Would have thought members here would welcome newcomers, not be rude and push them away

Your average movie-goer cares about Transformers than The Godfather. I guess the former shouldn't even be in the same sentence as The Godfather.
The movie is in the same sentence as those films because not only is it a critical darling but most people in the film industry loved it. It will have as much of an influence in the film industry as those films. No one cares if you found it boring.
Also, the movie made 60.5 million in home video sales. One more than Spiderman homecoming. No one cares about the movie my ass.
Godfather adjusted is bigger than Transformers so don't know what you're trying to say there.
Mad Max was about as liked by the GA as Kingman.

I'm talking about worldwide because Domestic is doing very good. Is going to gross more than other "real animation" movies from Sony like both Cloudies and emoji movie.
And tell me, what explains the difference between the LA openings if isn't competition?
This is Spider-Man we are Talking about here, he should be outgrossing the likes of the despised emoji movie
I didn't say competition had no effect, I said it didn't have much of an effect. The biggest effect was the movie itself, you can talk about how competition held this and that back slightly but at the end of the day films people want to see tend to trump their competition, this wasn't one of those films because people simply didn't want to see it

Yeah, no.
Latin American openings for example, clearly show that it was being held back by competition. There isn't any other reason why this would bomb in Chile and Bolivia on OW but not in Perú or Mexico where it was released later with softer competition, especially considering that animation tastes in the region are broadly similar.
I told you all this movie would disappoint because people just aren't interested, no-one agreed and now I'm right there's people like you blaming competition. No it's disappointing because there's a lack of interest in this type of film, stop using excuses. It only opened to 36m in America, are we going to blame competition for it's low opening there despite opening in an empty schedule?

such a shame. this deserve huge success..
they should've released this sooner or later with less competition in the market.
Competition wouldn't make much of a difference, people just prefer live action and if they do go for animated they want proper animation, not Anime like animation. Its amazing it's making as much as it is

Mary Poppins has had weak bumps on both Christmas Day and New Year's. Wonder why.
Because as I said people don't care about singing nannies in this day and age

Why the he'll is Fury Road even in the same sentence as LOTR and SW? Fury Road is average at best, it's a critical darling with alot of internet fanboys but your average movies goers really don't care for it. After the first hour it becomes boring to watch, If they made a SW film like Fury Road people wouldn't be happy
-
Frozen 2 -640m
Endgame - 630m
Lion king- 540m
SW9 - 520m

I'm not gonna accuse anyone of anything, but it's kind of funny how Holmes & Watson, a box office bomb with the worst reviews of the year already has 8 ratings in the Review section of this forum and 7 comments while no one, not one single member, watched Second Act, a box office hit, with decent reviews, that stars a latin woman. You all criticize the lack of representation, lack of diversity in genres, lack of originality, yet never practice what you preach.
I think it's fair to say J-lo had her fair share of representation and tarnished her image by being in shitty movies. Will Ferrells time may come

This doesn't give any indication of averages. Nobody is contesting that there aren't more male-led films at the top, because more male-led films get made than female-led films by nearly a 5:2 ratio. If that ratio were flattened would female-led films still do better than male-led films on average? Perhaps. Perhaps not. That isn't the claim either. Just that on the dynamics for 2014-17, female-led films averaged better for that period.
It's data. It isn't 'wrong'. You might argue the "female-led movies DOMINATE" is pushing it a little and ignoring other dynamics, but the data itself is peer reviewed and clearly evidenced.
Maybe in 2018 Mortal Engines (if it counts - not sure), Wrinkle in Time and Nutcracker all doing poorly would mean that male-led, big-budget films averaged more than female-led films. Maybe. But I don't know.
I was literally just replying to the OP who stated movies starring women do better than male led movies, the article didn't actually say that at all. It was just a click bait bolded header.

Actually bothering to have clicked on the link provided to read the article would have shown that you are wrong as it specifically states both recent star wars episodes were designated as male-led films (though presumably Rogue One was designated as female-led).

I don't need to. I just looked on Box office mojo and the top 20 in those years is very male dominated. So they are wrong lol
The OP stated that 'movies starring women earn more than male-led movies' which simply isn't true, the article doesn't even say that

((try not to comment just on the headlines, s'il vous plaît))

I doubt that very much. I bet they use films like star wars to back these claims

I'm sorry, but that is beyond silly. Those are a handful of story beats, some of them extremely vague, which you can pull for a lot of movies to point similarities. And STEVE?! Seriously? Steve Trevor was first introduced in 1941. His first appearance is him crashing his plane on Paradise Island. During WW2. Wonder Woman went out of its way to go with WW1 instead of 2, just to avoid being too similar to Captain America, even though they would have been fully justified to actually do the story that is canonical to the comics. So, really...stop reaching. Purely superficial similarities do not a copy make.
Im not reaching, just sharing my opinion. Its one of the reasons my friends and I didn't care too much for WW, it reminded us far too much of Cap 1. You don't have to share the same opinion as me, it's good that you don't and allows you to enjoy it more. I also like 90% of the superhero movie goers don't read comics so I only have the movies to compare them to
I just think DC could have really nailed their movies with the original tone they took. The tone was never the problem, all their gritty movies opened huge because people were on-board with the tone they took and showed in the trailers hence why MOS, BVS and SS opened so huge, it was just the execution that let the movies down, if they genuinely had great stories and scripts they would have been massive and the tone will have continued, thats all I'm getting at here.

I don't understand how you can call it disrespectful or even say it differently. His queer life of parting hard and having unprotected gay sex lead to his disease, it's pointing out a commonly known fact about the guy and it takes absolutely nothing away from him. There's not really a way of sugar coating it
