[Sam]

The Heat is having a great run, keep on having good increases and smaller drops.

[baumer]

For a movie like the Conjuring that cost so little to make, 4.5M is pretty damn good.. Please Hollywood, do not make a sequel to this, even though you will...

 

Sequel is locked and loaded.

It is weird, everyone laments the fact that there are no new and original properties, then the few original movies which make it big start having their own sequels and launch franchises.

 

I am actually really happy that Pacific Rim may not get a sequel due to the domestic BO not being robust. I felt that the movie wrapped up everything beautifully and works as a stand alone movie with no need for a sequel. MoS as well, wrapped up all plotlines in the one movie while leaving plenty of threads it could pick up in the sequels.

So PR will do better than WHD....and Conjuring will do better than both.

Who had that club again???

[CJohn]

If Wolverine pulls 75-80M OW, then we should seriously reconsider the ranking of most popular super-heroes. Also, X3 had the 2nd biggest OD at the time. 

[rockNrollaDIM]

My showing for The Heat is packed!

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Watching Batman 1989. Man, was Jack Nicholsan a bad choice for the role! (suprisingly)

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Oh my Lord. The 1989 film was awful!! (Batman)

Ever seen Bad Boys 2?

How about Point Break?

Every entertainment trade of the time, the box office and fandom at the time would strongly disagree.

Well it's aged badly IMO.

The film itself hasn't aged well, but I don't think his performance has. It's still great fun.

I actually really like Batman 89 despite watching it for the first time last year.

 

I wish Turbo was doing better; it's a pretty fun movie. Better than DM2 for sure. That said, the best part of the movie was the HTTYD2 trailer on the big screen. Gave me goosebumps!

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Batman Forever> Batman 1989.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Well, this leaves me with Batman Returns and B&R to watch.

You just had to say that. Now I HAVE to see it...

[Blankments]

Batman Forever> Batman 1989.

 

 

I mean, Forever has Jim Carrey... and not much else; 89 has Nicholson and Keaton.

Nicholson is terrible here!!!! Also Tommy Lee Jones is in Forever!

[CoolioD1]

I have batman at #3 on my top 100 list. No shame.
