A seemingly unknown superhero (at least to non comic book fans) in early 2008 has moved to the top of superhero universe boxofficewise. Amazing.

My wife had a similar reaction. The lack of characterisation overrides the great technical aspects. I consider Dunkirk the Tora Tora Tora of 2017. Great meaningless action that I just could not relate to or for that matter care.

Wow. What a phenomenal performance.

Last weekend the Saturday increases were muted for all movies i.e increases in 20s and 30s. This weekend Saturday increases are in the 30s, 40s and even 50s. Any reasons for this?

Yep. Probably can be ranked 9 out of his 10 movies.

For someone like me, who grew up on War and Battle comics in my teen years and reruns of great movies like Guns of Navarone, The Great Escape, Where Eagles Dare and great movies of the modern era like Platoon, Saving Private Ryan etc, this movie is a disappointment. Nolan was able to desensitize me to the point that I did not care about the characters of a war movie. The Cinematography and sound design are stunning. The rest is a big meh. Rating: C-/D+

Did not like it. Could not care for anything beyond the technical aspects like sound and cinematography.

It is obvious that his box office know how is very limited based on his assessment of SMH final total.

+1 Spiderman is a powerhouse merchandise seller. SMH makes Spiderman relevant again as a moviev franchise even while being overexposed with 6 solo movies in 15 years.

I would think $800M+ is very good for this movie. It is the 2nd reboot in 5 years and 6th Spiderman movie in 15 years. If the Garfield reboot had not taken place, SMH would have been in a way better position. The 2 ASM movies and a sub par SM 3 reduced the viability of Spiderman. On the other hand, SMH is off to an excellent start, so the sequel will have a bright future prospect.

BOT is a fine place. Every forum including BOM forum had some crazy posters. For the most part, BOT seems like a natural heir/extension of BOM forum and that is a very good thing.

+1 If this dude is an "Expert" on Box Office, most people on BOT would qualify as a "genius"

I remember this idiot writing a laughable article on The Force Awakens prior to release. Either, he doesn't know much about box office or he is deliberately trying to play down SMH.

Mendelson thinks SMH will do only $262M domestic. What a moron.

Ok movie. Slightly better than Dawn. The pacing in the second half is very slow especially after Caesar is captured. The narration is jerky at times. The ending is good. But the movie is generally dull. Tired of this series. Rating: B-/C+
