rainbowtrout Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The Conjuring was doing really well today at my theater. WOM might already be kicking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) yes I like the Space design in GL ... The acting and story was bad though. Edited July 22, 2013 by firedeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilmac Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Should we be surprised if Hollywood sticks to the formula of sequels and remakes when original movies have done so poorly at the boxoffice this year? We are getting what we've always clamored for - ORIGINAL MOVIES. Yet they're not exactly filling theater seats in the way I had hoped. It's one thing to say "make better movies and they will come" but when you're that studio exec planning out the release slate for 2017, I suspect sequels/remakes will be viewed even more so as a safe bet. **Conjuring notwithstanding Edited July 22, 2013 by lilmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 As long as a movie happens in Space, I am fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Maybe I am the only one that found GL was decent ... GL's space scenes were good. The earth scenes sucked - they should have just adapted Emerald Dawn instead. But they wanted to get to the "Big Stories" like the Sinestro Corps War and the War of Light and Blackest Night, so they made a movie which fast forwarded to the good parts without bothering to fill the spots in between.

lab276 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Good weekend, it's done about $10m better than I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Good weekend, it's done about $10m better than I was expecting. And 3 openers underperformed too, so it's all due to one flick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got stars at the leads, the trailer looked great & most people who saw it seemed to like it. I don't know why it's leg wasn't better. Another mystery is why WWZ become so leggy. The movie's good but it isn't better than the rest of the blockbusters I've seen this year. It doesn't deserve to hold that well.

kitik Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 WHD is a repeat of a movie that came out 3 months earlier. Why would movie fans choose to watch a repeat when they can go find something new instead? WWZ is a good movie, but not in the top 5 of the year or anything. It's a good thriller though that keeps you on the edge of your seat for most of the movie, and it deserves tons of props for going in a unique direction compared to just about every other zombie movie. I suspect a lot of members of the GA enjoy being able to go to a "horror" movie that, while it has some scary scenes, won't exactly scare the pants off of them.

It had lower budget, no huge star at the lead and got bad reviews. WWZ - That's a good point about it's being a horror film without a single horrific scene. Maybe it's just a zombie flick for the mass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWZ - zombie is a popular cultural icon. it got generally good reviews and is top 5 this summer critically adult blockbuster wise(StiD,IM3,Pac Rim, WWZ,fast six) WHD - audience fatigue following OHF Edited July 22, 2013 by Halba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfreakbix Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 ^ Me too, I've never stanned for a movie like I did for this one. I can't wait for the R rated Blu-ray & I hope they include the original ending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Kinda off-topic, but are they making a third Sherlock Holmes movie? I've quite enjoyed the franchise so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was planned as a trilogy from the beginning. And... Hell yes! Very good franchise so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
