The link is to a review of The Nice Guys, and the score for is actually 4/5. Also, I think you might have found your rave review of the BFG.

JohnnyGossamer Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Kind of hilarious that there's a BFG review in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The marketing is doing this no favors: it's all retro vibes without any resemblance of a plot, and some of the ads are even using those Crowe/Gosling therapy videos with no footage from the movie. Those are clever, but won't sell tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 This was always going to be a hard sell. Marketing is fine in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I feel like they're not doing the best job of selling this to its target audience of adults who also have Money Monster right now.

grim22 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Good reviews, hopefully this can break out and do 25M OW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I have it pegged for a $13-14M opening. And I feel like I'm being generous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 The TC will limit the OW number. I'm hoping for great legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 An opening around The Man from UNCLE Seems reasonable, but decent legs could take it farther. It honestly seems more like a Fall release to me, but WB must be confident if they're releasing it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I said was that this is the kind of movie that would do well in the LA and NY areas and flop in Middle America (which it will, let's be honest).
