Yup, only because IM2 was super bad ...

what total is Monsters University looking at

Well, it should get a typical Pixar multiplier of at least 3, possible 3.4.  So 250-280

Yeah, but Despicable Me is going to murder it in 10 days.

 

High end is 300 ... likely 280 or so.

Ahh Sam  but MOS is a far better film than IM3, so I think it will stabilize.. I think 40-43% drop is likely.

No it isn't, there is zero indication of this on any level but your own opinion.

[GiantCALBears]

IM3 was shit.Ok.

News flash: so was MoS, and this is coming from an unbiased viewpoint which you clearly lack calling it "best film of the year" lol

[Dementeleus]

Per Tele's advice, watching In The Loop in honor of James Gandolfini. Pretty damn funny movie so far. It is on Netflix streaming, so pretty easy to watch for anyone curious. Gandolfini's first scene is around 30 minutes into the film and I'm cracking up. His character is great. He's a pervert army general.

 

Forgot to ask, what'd you think overall?

None of us are unbiased. Anyone who's seen the movie has an opinion on it, whether favorable or unfavorable.

Dude if you call that movie the best movie of the year either that was your only film you've seen or you came in knowing you were going to love it regardless like Ed. You can have a more unbiased opinion, I firmly believe that. Edited June 23, 2013 by GiantCALBears

well of course Zod does not end up being a british comedian and Faora as the real villian like IM3

That's poo-poo. And I don't even like the movie.

While “Monsters University” drew some non-families, at 27%, the Pixar film ultimately saw a larger-than-usual share come from parents and kids. By comparison, “Brave” earned 34% of its opening from non-family auds.

 

That's somewhat surprising. 

 

 

With 31% of the gross, 3D contributed only a tad less for “Monsters U” than it did for “World War Z,” which earned 34% in 3D — with the benefit of premium large-format screens. Similarly, “Man of Steel,” which earned 41% from 3D (including 12% Imax) last weekend, dropped to 35% in its second frame.

So this thread has certainly went downhill.

Some people just want to see this thread burn.

[acetabulum7]

IM2 just needed some more action with bigger things at stake, then it wouldn't be half bad.

 

Knock over a couple buildings and blow up a few ships.  Destroy a bridge.  I dunno.  Anything besides a cheap 45-second finale in a small barren field.

 

I still like Favreau's directing as well as the random comedy bits he threw in.

[FTF]

So wrong. People can say it was shit and if that is how they feel that is how they feel.

I think it's more what ones definition of shit is...not that if someone thinks it's good or bad. Like when you ask a friend hey how was that steak, and they're like it's the best steak in the world (or worst ever), etc...is that really it, or just your emotional reaction, etc. A shit movie to me is a very extreme case of awful, not just something that I didn't like or was bad or not that good, etc. Edited June 23, 2013 by FTF

TITE is hysterical and this is coming from a church going Catholic. best comedy of the year so far.

Question. Do Cable movie channels have special dubbing? My Blu Ray of Looper has no Spanish track but my wife is clearly watching it in Spanish on TV. What gives?
