Lordmandeep Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 The thing about ROTS and DMC is they were by far the event films that year, nothing came close. All the hype and attention was focused on one film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Well, rather than get myself upset about the weekend box offfice numbers for TOW again - I guess I just need to accept that fact that some moviegoers are fans of really dumb comedies. (Take Sandler's career, for example). I just could not believe that women would be so interested in seeing a movie that stars 3 women, but does not pass the Bechdel Test and where the story revolves around a man. I expect my own gender to be fans of terrible movies (Transformers, Bay, Sandler, Snyder, etc.), but I always figured that females had somewhat higher standards with their movie choices. On the bright side, the U.S.A. / Canada have a combined population of about 350 million people, but TOW has only sold about 5 million tickets. Thus, it makes me feel a little better to know that about 345 million of us have chosen NOT to see TOW.

baumer Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 One of the most horrifying scenes I've ever seen is in Jaws 2 when Sean falls in the water, the girls goes to help him out and he gets up but not her. She gets swallowed whole by the shark. Fucking crazy. Here's a cool scene not seen in theaters: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonwo Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I wouldn't be surprised if TASM3 is delayed by a year and the spinoffs cancelled. I think rushing out the sequels is hurting the franchise and an extra year's break may be beneficial. Not sure where it could go though, maybe July 4th weekend 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. Marvel itself has big misses of their own while Sony has a hit or two with SM series, especially Spider-man 2. So I don't care about where since we know studios can make good adaptation. We just need them to work harder to get more consistent with quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
