Count on Owen Wilson to pop in a Wes Anderson film from time to time

The Shrek from the West End musical creeps me out a bit. He seems like he keeps that expression through the whole thing and his mouth barely moves. Like an Ogre with too much botox.

Wish they'd write one together.

Uhm... Uhm... Do I need to ask what the heck is going on?

Audiences seem to be liking The Internship from what I've heard. It might be able to get around a 60-65m total. A far cry from their Wedding Crashers prime but a decent total for a summer comedy.

Oh and why is Universal predicting such a low drop for The Purge? I understand it dropped like a rock yesterday but a 12% Sunday drop is something you'll only see in July. And isn't WOM on this pretty bad. I expect that to drop a few more million than what they have. I hope Fast 6 increases to 20m with actuals and NYSM as well.

WTF is this?!

[Blankments]

Shrek the Musical was actually pretty good...

Interested to see the actual. I'm guessing it's about a million.

That is a thing? I thought it was fake!

[Blankments]

It's a fun stage show. Worth seeing if you're a fan of the franchise or at least the first film.

Fast 6 needs a 3.5x from this point to hit 250m. If MOS wasn't right around the corner I'd say it would probably do it but a likely 50%+ drop next weekend makes that pretty difficult.

It was a real thing people paid money to see. Crazy, right?

[blackspider]

You'd think after the catastrophic Spider-Man musical they'd steer away from movie-inspired musicals.

I don't think it makes it. Right about 240.

I'm not seeing it either. But it could pull a THG-like push to 400m. Crazier things have happened.

I know this is standard New Yorker talk but "damn tourists!"

I saw that and it was awful. What made it especially awful was that we didn't get any Spidey swinging because of technical difficulties or whatever and the last fight between him and Green Goblin was literally just the audience staring at an empty stage with dramatic music playing and the guy in the spider-man outfit would occasionally pop up and shoot his shitty web-shooter.

Even though You're Next looks (and probably is) significantly better than Purge, I dont think it will do more than 15M

Total? Nah, it should do fine, just nothin exemplary. I can see Cabin in the Woods numbers for it. Similarly to Cabin, the only real way to market it, is as a straight slasher kind of movie. But it's not quite as simple as that.
