When I was a kid I wanted sequels to tons of movies

Trek is a liberal fantasy.

 

 

welcome to the 1960's

Well I swear Oz is from a magical time where if a tornado is in Kansas you wont die-you will be transported to a magical land in COLOR instead

I think Trek will do a lot more than 120% more than yesterday by the time all the late night shows are added up.

And ironically I know more Republicans that like Trek then Democrats.

 

Okay enough political talk

Color is for 6-year-olds!

I want an intelligent movie, not something for kids!

Looking pretty likely...

My JJ Abrams fanboyism clouded my judgement . So whenever you decide ill change it.

This is the year where movies show symbol of American freedom is being attacked  - repeatedly.

I know there are many movies with that kind of theme released after 911

but this year you see White House being attacked in 3 movies alone. That's unusually

high percentage don't you think? Plus images of heroes falling, the flag torn

and tattered. Even the early Superman poster has Kal El shrouded in darkness.

 

I miss IM1, when it is just a kick ass superhero movie. I don't want to be reminded

of 911 all the time, def'ly not over and over again in GIJ2, OLYMPUS, IM3, STID, WHD.

Those are 5 911 themed movies in less than 6 months folks!

[kitik]

so, we only have early guesses for STID today right, nothing for IM3 or Gatsby?

[Impact]

They both...made money. Happy?

Then maybe you should watch Spring Breakers and Mud again.

The BTC numbers provided yesterday were 14/28.5/26/16.5

Looks like yesterdays number was bang on. And with a 120% increase on tickets from yesterday 28.5 should happen for today.

 

Whatever formula BTC uses to extrapolate seems to be working so far at least.

I still think a third film will happen as Paramount will want to capitalise on Treks 50th anniversary which is in 2016, I imagine they'll hire a new director if JJ is unavailable.

You know that there are not a new releases when the number 5 film this weekend will probably make about 3M.

If they lose money, they'll probably try the 100th anniversary instead. Edited May 18, 2013 by Godzilla

But 911 movies are depressing because the New York thing was a real mass destructive event.

I  enjoyed the hell out of IM3, OBLIVION, and STID. But too much of this 911 imagery....for me:

GIJ2, OBLIVION, WHD, IM3, STID, OLYMPUS.

That would probably mean Abrams will be a producer, not director on that film. Maybe an Abrams acolyte like Matt Reeves takes over?

the number 4 film will only be in the 3 million range too
