Fun fact: there is a very good chance no movie this Summer will pass these 2. 

True, true. But I'm still not holding out hope for TF4 to do a POTC4. I think the decrease will not be that great.

[BobbyJohn]

If people want more good movies they need to support things other than the 8th Spider-Man remake in 5 years of the 32nd X-Men sequel in 10 years.

Is the dick evil or something?

Isn't everyone's?

I still can't imagine TF not making at least $275m. We will see soon enough.

[Jack Nevada]

Isn't everyone's?

My dick is pretty harmless, I'd say. 

[Cochofles]

I'm truly amazed at how such mediocrity and/or shit makes so much coin sometimes.  Maleficent and Bayformers 4... hell of a double whammy this summer!

Get over yourself, Mr. Kael. It's summer. People don't wanna watch boring films about profound psychological issues. They want to be entertained and dazzled by giant robots riding robot dinosaurs, stunningly beautiful movie stars playing evil fairies, and mutants fighting the future, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

[reddevil18]

Eh, even the good ones I don't have any real interesting in watching. And judging from the numbers a lot of people this Summer feel the same. 

The new X-Men AMAZING!!!! 

 

That's nice. Yawn. Next! 

 

Well, that's just silly. Why talk about quality if you haven't seen it? You say quality is inherent to originality and that's plain wrong. The best movies of the summer are:

The 7th movie in a franchise

The sequel to a TV adaptation

The sequel to a cartoon adaptation of a book series

The adaptation of a Japanese sci-fi novel

 

And they're not just good by blockbuster standards - they're fucking brilliant. So, quality is about quality, not originality.

Well, they certainly don't seem to have much interest in supporting the original films either

[darkelf]

Is the dick evil or something?

 

No it's a touching coming-of-age drama that will bring us all to tears

 

I think it has something to do with him being a womanizer or whatever

[fmpro]

Any word on DOFP's OS numberIs 475 to much to ask for?

"Brilliant" is a bit much, but they are definitely well-made films that don't deserve to be lumped in with the more mediocre sequels.

[Lordmandeep]

My prediction, Tf4 will open soft but do well over the 10 days and people will be like"not bad"

Well, sure, but it's been proven time and time again that the spectacle need not be separate from the quality. And the thing is, this summer HAS had such movies, combining both in great fashion. But they still disappointed or certainly did not break out...

[CJohn]

Anyway, a movie called Bad Johnson about a guy's dick is opening here mid-July... 22 Jump Street? August 28

We get it on July 10.

EOT might as well be original.

It's what I'm hoping for...

[darkelf]

We get it on July 10. 

 

 

And nobody will be there to see it. So screw you

[Lordmandeep]

I think this summer has had good films but not films that have really broken out super wide like a major uber blockbuster does 

[reddevil18]

EOT might as well be original.

Sure, in its treatment maybe, but it's still based on an existing property.
