    Queen!!!

     

    I cannot wait to watch this, a REAL entertainer, a REAL musical legend, a REAL singer.

     

    Glad I got to be a part of the generation that grew up with Beyonce.

    Update on the 30 for 30: 1993 List. 
     

    My job completely just blew up this weekend. So there was a lot of real life things that were a keeping me off-line. I suspect it will probably start sometime next week if not before. I’m trying to get it ready so that I can basically post all of it without gaps.

     

    But if we want to just start, then I certainly can post a little bit, and then they’ll be a long stop, and then a little more and then will be a little stop, and then probably post the rest of it.

    Much love to you, bestie. ❤️

     

    I am hoping you are hanging in there, always reach out if you need to. :)

    If Killers and Napoleon break out while Creator flops, and all this year's comedies flop compared to Lost City and Ticket to Paradise, it will be further proof that something about the pandemic brought the value of star power back. Not to mention Barbieheimer benefitting from it big league.

    Ooh, that would not be surprising, and I mean no shade by this.


    Hoping this is not our case, but I can definitely see this happening, ugh.

    I know most of the members here have been following the box office for a very long time. And I hate to pull a tiny bit of rank here but I've been following the box office pretty religiously for about 40 years and I know not all of you are saying this but September has always been a quiet month. There's always exceptions to the rule of course but there's been a plethora of films that have opened up incredibly softly in the month of september. The doom and gloom and pessimism because the Creator opened a little softly is over reactionary for sure. 

     

    What's the hook for the creator? Why should this movie break out and open with north of 30 million?

     

    Saw x, like many of you have already said, is suffering from franchise fatigue. They had the right idea by bringing back Tobin Bell but again as others have mentioned, the last two Saw films didn't do any favors for the franchise. However with the budget being low again and it heading for anywhere between 17-20 million this weekend, a 40 or 50 million finish isn't disastrous.

     

    I never did get to comment on the expend4bles. I saw it kind of reluctantly because it just didn't look that good. And the additions of 50 cent and Andy Garcia and Megan Fox just didn't really excite me. I will say Megan Fox is hotter than I've ever seen her before and she did display some skill but the soft opening that it had did not surprise me at all. Word of mouth probably spread like wildfire and even me, who loves the franchise with the exception of the third, thought this film was pretty disastrous for the first 3/4 of it.

     

    It looks like The equalizer part 3 is going to end up right in the range everybody thought it would and I really enjoyed the third part as well, and I loved seeing Dakota Fanning in it. 

     

    There's a lot affecting the box office right now. Actors not being able to promote anything, streaming services allowing you to sit your ass down in the comfort of your own home and watch a huge variety of films is just a couple of things.

     

    I don't necessarily agree with @CJohn I don't think we should cancel September LOL but I understand where you're coming from.

     

    And @Cap when is the 1993 countdown going to start?

    I promise I am not tryna start anything with you.

     

    But, do you remember making it to Final Tribal Council way back with a specific username I will NOT repeat? We had made a pact when playing Box Office Survivor, this was doing our Mojo days.

     

    Crazy how back time goes. We made final two, tehe.

    As a horror fan, I’m loving the box office currently. 
     

    And the quality of horror films since Covid too. 

    Did you enjoy The Nun II?

     

    I feel like, compared to my best friend, it may have clicked for me more than others.

     

    Don't know, I enjoyed it. Not perfect, but one of their much better attempts.

    Can I be honest?

     

    I am fine with doom and gloom, but I get especially annoyed when every occurrence is a repeat of the last version. Have a moment of devastation, but, like...change it up.

     

    This has been a constant reason why I step away from the forum so much, but, also...I have a life I want to live, so I get as much as possible to make it.

     

    We are in a new era of cinema where not everything is sure-fire hit anymore, and, I believe the unpredictability has everyone rattled. Rightfully so, how can this field continue if we lose reasons to prove its success and worth. But, I also believe we can participate in those conversations where the most popular quote of the day is not just, "Cinema is over!" Like, get in depth, tell me why. What can we do?

     

    Having the conversation grow redundant is only pushing someone like me away, and I will not even bother popping in a place (this forum) where this is the constant mood.

     

    Like, I need some fun. My life is whack too like Clay. I am still recovering from my extremely shitty and toxic "relationship" with a past lover who seriously lied to me. I am still recovering from my childhood's traumatic experiences. I am still recovering from a county that had someone like Trump (and many others in public office) voted into power. I am still recovering from the fact I was not born rich, so I will never have access to opportunities I so desperately wish I had to live the life I want.

     

    It fucking sucks. I am too damn bold, too damn charismatic, too damn funny, too damn pretty, and too damn talented to not be a star. So, when I login in here, if you are depressed, great. Tell me how you too want to end it right in front of someone you hate to change their life trajectory.

     

    Or, be like, be open about how much you would receive a spit roast and train from the likes of Duddddde, Eric, Spidey Freak, etc.

    I correctly predicted Trump would win in 2016 on these boards (while I was working for the Hillary campaign!) and people called me crazy, so I've taken that one time as permission to be an annoying doomer for seven more years.

    By the way, I feel you.

     

    My sister works in politics, and she and I were very cautious and open about how likely Trump was to win. We continue to be open about how Biden can lose.

     

    It's like...bitches never taking us seriously.

    I am disappointed to have let Coolio down. I just want a win, ya know? It'd just be nice to log on and see a movie suprise me and break out, or a candidate I want to win up in the polls, or the girl who just left me back in my life, or the Vikings not 0-3. It'd just be positive to log on my ole computer and see some good news for once. BOT stands for Box Office Therapy, apparrently. I will be better.

     

    October looks good. I think, constructively, that it would be better to distribute the hits in a more equitable year throughout the year so that 6 out of 7 weeks aren't total garbage like twice a year.

    You want some boochie?
