Heat Vision Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 So I finally watched godzilla yesterday in Imax 3d and I thought it was a good film. Sure it had its problems but that ending was one of the most beautiful shot action scenes I've seen in quite some time, it looked amazing. and I loved that airport scene, especially how they cut to the little boy watching them fight on the news, that was hilarious Some people hated how the monsters fought on TV or in the background which clearly was Edwards trying to show how this would looks in human eyes. This movie was about what if this really happened. He said it multiple times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 what is it you are waiting for? IDK really. I'm just sure there's an awards-y movie I'll love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Can Godzilla tie or pass Cap 2 with actuals? Sure. WB gave it a big estimated Sunday drop. It's certainly possible if it has a great hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Bacon Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 One of the writers is a writer for Expendables. How do you write the brilliant Expendables and then come up with a dud like Godzilla? The writing for both movies is mediocre and banal, which was to be expected from the writer who wrote Doom. The difference is that, in addition to Godzilla having much better subject matter, Gareth Edwards outclasses Stallone as a director by a comfortable margin in every conceivable way. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 How the hell do we get weekend estimates NOW before sunday hasn't even ended, YET, we have to wait til late Saturday night for Saturdays numbers???? Explain this?? Because the studios like to brag about the weekend gross to the media on Sunday while people are still off from work and might see the headlines on websites like CNN.

Carlos Martinez Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Wolverine and his CGI foes should get 120/130m for the 4 day, still Godzilla has a bugdet of 160m XMDOFP has a 250 million B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moviedweeb Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 This has been a fun weekend guys. Godzilla rocked the box office big time. He shook it up! Cap 2 passed $700m Also, Frozen passed $1.2b WW which is nuts. I think this has been a great year for box office thus far. Unlike last summer, films will have a little more room to breathe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 A movie about Godzilla just opened with 93M. I am letting that sink in. A part of me still can't believe it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
