Spidey Freak

ST2 will not even figure in the Top 10 highest grossers of 2013 now. Regarding the estimations for it at the beginning of the year, that's a shocker no doubt.

Inception was the least they could do for Nolan after TDK though. I know that some studios like Fox wouldn't even be that gracious but still, it isn't the pinnacle of big studio altruism.

July 2015.

No ways it is FAILING as in bombing, but sub 400M DOM would definitely be a major disappointment.

Oh damn, Graviflop Flopvity!

But we are only human!

^I will have to wait until next Saturday!

It's the underground Marvel vs DC! Though with Gravity, Cuaron is proving to be far more mainstream-appealing than GDT ever was. Won't be much of a battle if Cuaron's streak continues.

Amen to that!

Worst snub was easily Scott Pilgrim. I mean, it never had a chance to get nominated, but gosh, the effects in that movie were so flawless!

Why weren't Tangled and PatF eligible again?

Semantics.

How crazy would it be if this ended up doing Inception numbers?

So JC is going to be a supernatural entity in this?

The Rotoscopers' Morgan Stradling reveals the plot and character descriptions for Big Hero 6! (Mild spoilers regarding the story and characters)-

Fantastic Two makes both of those look like Green Lantern!

It has no direct competition till Thanksgiving with Frozen, so it may manage a 3+ multiplier after all.

Yes, but it isn't exactly comforting that his "least" is also his most recent. Oh well, most of TDKR blame could be put on shitty Goyer story. Now Nolan is free from Goyer and can go back to making masterpieces. Bring on Interstellar!

I hope the show begins with the Thomas and Martha Wayne murders and GCPD issuing a manhunt for Joe Chill. And that's when things start going to shit for Gotham.

I hope Nolan never makes a movie as thoroughly disappointing as this one ever again.

Find it incredibly cool that the actress playing Melinda May (Ming-Na), is the voice of Mulan- Fa Mulan is an agent of SHIELD? Why, of course!

Dragon, BH6, Laika's The Boxtrolls and Mr. Peabody and Sherman. Next year's competition looks far stronger than this year, which is basically Frozen vs. TWR.

If they wanted to cut out an entire sideplot or scenes whose absence from the film would not render the rest of the movie senseless then it is totally alright. Again, the Cinema Paradiso analogy holds, where almost a half hour's worth of the film was cut out because it focused on a secondary plotline(the romance) and made THAT plotline the crux of the film instead of the primary plotline(the relationship between the protagonist and the projectionist). Majority of the people I know who have seen both versions of the film far prefer the edited version because it is more seamless and focused than the uncut version. Heck, the uncut version was a box office disappointment when it was first released, and then when they released the edited version in theaters, that was a huge hit. If the studio thought those 20 mins of Snowpiercer unnecessarily complicated the story and characters and/or dragged the film down, and/or took away from the main point of the film, then they are well within their rights to have those scenes removed for smoother and crisper storytelling. Don't know how accurate that "film should be understood by audiences in Iowa.. and Oklahoma" quote is. Seems splintered and slightly out of context to me. Could just be a classic case of online blogs making a mountain out of a molehill.
