BO.com only predicts $35m OW 

 

 

They lowered it from $40m which I already thought was low.

 

The first trailer was so good and though I liked the second one the marketing seems to have lost instead of gained momentum.

 

I blame the copious use of John C Reilly as "comic relief".

It feels like this is getting kinda lost being sandwiched between Logan and Beauty and the Beast. Doubt it bombs but it's probably headed for a really standard run and nothing more.

Like I've been saying for a while now: Star Trek Beyond without summer weekdays.

[shayhiri]

It looks 70 times better than Godzilla. They shouldn't even mention that garbage in the marketing.

King Kong is also a damaged brand. The franchise has three films that share the same plot and story, one bad sequel, one cash-in sequel, and two Japanese made films that didn't have as far of a reach as their American counterparts.

In 5 out of 7 films, King Kong dies.

 

The formula has been predictable for so long that people expect to see the same movie. This is the one that will break that trend and offer something different. For that reason, it will be a pity if this is the one that ends up flopping.

Decided to be considerate and add a spoiler tag despite the fact that many of these films are old.

[Cookson]

Gotta believe this will do decent. If it doesn't, there probably won't be any "MonsterVerse" films beyond Godzilla vs Kong.

 

There is merchandise, comic book tie ins to help out anything that my get lost at the box office. It is kind of sandwiched in between two big films.

I thought Reilly was great. "We're all gonna die together!" cracks me up every time.

New video. Weird. I want a VR experience with something like this.

How can we be cursed when we just powah'ed Rogue One to 1 billion? We are one with the Force, and the Force is with us.

That bombed everywhere, whatever.

 

HACKSAW RIDGE WAS HUGE. TOM CRUISE AND TOM HANKS VEHICLES WERE HUGE. WE RESPECT GOOD MOVIES AND MOVIE STARS.
