Who else besides Kal and BKB?

 

I'd have to go through the thread.  Sorry, don't remember right now.

[Mango]

I'm clearly talking about Godzilla.........

 

My mistake. You started out talking about X-Men and I just assumed you stayed on that subject.

[baumer]

Watching Friday the 13th Part 2.

[Jessie]

Well it does seem to have a lot of quality for a monster movie because it does have a 73% RT score.

Well whoopdey fucking doo

[Chewy]

Obviously it has done very well, but a movie that came out of nowhere to a huge OW like that should hold better than this. It's not a good sign if you were looking at Godzilla as the big new franchise on the block

[CJohn]

AN X-MEN MOVIE WILL OPEN OVER 40M OD AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT GODZILLA HAVING A 10M FRIDAY AFTER OPENING WITH 93M!

 

This place sometimes....

Well they're still going ahead with ST and it didn't have an impressive run.

[John Marston]

Godzilla sequel is guaranteed to decrease because there is no novelty . It is just Godzilla going to fight another creature or something

Don't worry, they will add Batman

Probably gonna have a much smaller budget. Also I doubt any fans are actually looking forward to Orci's Trek, lol

[John Marston]

But seriously I don't see much franchise potential here

How you know? I didn't know there were plot details already.

Yeah but they're still going ahead with it.

I enjoyed DoFP but the Sentinels' absence was very noticeable. 

This should probably be a spoiler convo so....

 

I don't see how it was noticeable? They were barely advertised in the marketing and clearly not the focal point of the movie. Those would be the X-Men. The X-Men themselves are the main protagonists and antagonists of all their movies. And I thought the Sentinels  had plenty of screentime, especially since they showed up in both future and past. Anymore time would have been unnecessary since you can't really "develop" them as characters. They were just badass and totally delivered what they needed to. If Godzilla's absence, (who is THE focal point and draw of the movie he's named after), didn't bug you it makes zero sense why characters' lack of screentime who aren't the focus of a movie would.

Which confounds me as well.

......It already is a franchise. 30 movies.

[John Marston]

Lol. What else is it going to be about?

[Godzilla]

Obviously it has done very well, but a movie that came out of nowhere to a huge OW like that should hold better than this. 

 

Nope. The higher the OW, the smaller the legs. If this had opened to $60m, we probably wouldn't have seen a big drop.

Next week if Maleficent or A Million Ways to Die break out people will be scared that X-Men has a big (though in retrospect perfectly normal) drop.

That is gonna bomb hard.
