As a shareholder, it's fine for an extra $.001 of eps growth or whatever it is lol but pay that woman her money. People didn't go to see Dan Stevens or Josh Gad.

I'm obviously in the minority but I find this shit soul-deadening. Never in my life would have thought that a movie making 170 fucking million dollars on opening weekend (and looking to make 500+ total) would just make me want to go bang my head against a wall but Disney managed it. I have seen some truly awful, wretched movies post enormous numbers over the years, and box office was still as exciting as ever, but I've never seen a movie make this much money by being so blatantly lazy, and the fact that it's just gonna continue depresses me.
Jake AIW 1 didn't make you feel that way? Same with the other 2? They've been very meh as a group but still made a ton of dough.

She's a commodity, completely disagree it matters that HP was her only big work. That's ten years of film making in a pretty complex role as a kid. $3m is frankly pennies to both her and Disney, happy she will make $12m+ backend.

Interesting Watson got paid $3m upfront and is getting a lot more (likely backend) for hitting certain benchmarks. Seems like she should've gotten a lot more.

Yo @Noctis how do you feel about BATB beating Potter 8 OW? Granted it's unadjusted so more people likely went to see HP, but still impressive. Clearly a lot of pent up demand for this thing.

Speaking of casting Ariel in The Little Mermaid, there is one perfect person who comes to my mind.
Nah. Don't see that working out...

Seth MacFarlane is funny sometimes (older stuff is the best quality) but this gag gets old quickly. Its kind of weird...

Cuba Gooding Jr. won an Oscar.
In fairness to that joke he was just in a highly successful show (even if his portrayal was one of the weaker parts of it).

She's the best actress that's never been in a good movie.
Can't disagree, she's way too talented to not be. Must have a bad agent (granted Shameless has been amazing for her career overall).

Emma Watson was good... but Emmy Rossum would've been better.

1/3 of that money probably came thanks to Avatar/3D goodwill. I wish How to Train Your Dragon had been released on that date instead.
That's why Disney deserves a lot of credit with the ad push that took advantage of that goodwill.

This is expected to top BvS OW?
Looks like it has a decent chance, doesn't say much about BvS though... BvS was a solid disappointment.

Saturday is going to be the real story either with a jump or no jump/drop.
Is there any other options?

Ah, it was mixed at best. Critics just saw that film as "Eh" or "Meh". Not great, but not that terrible either. Just OK-ish. The sequel though, had a more poor reception.
$126m adjusted OW for a film that no one really likes that much. Too bad they didn't take their chips and leave the table & instead did a sequel.

$63M OD for a blockbuster is still impressive.
It's higher than other Disney Live action remakes like Alice in Wonderland & The Jungle Book.
Alice was more impressive given how bad it was. Avatar was a major help as well.
