We thought MoS not making 300M was a disaster. This Summer domestic numbers are horrid.

Wild Wild West. Ell oh ell.

I still wonder how drunk she was that night

 

 

She had to be, right? The leg thing was obviously a massive trolling on her part, we know she doesn't take Oscars etc that seriously.

Not sure if it's feasible, but Warner should do a GODZILLA/EDGE OF TOMORROW double-feature to push GODZILLA over $200m and EDGE over $100m.

DM2, Frozen and CF are the only movies that have beaten MoS since it released

MJ1 will add to that list but possibly nothing else.

MoS over ASM2/DoFP/TF4/HTTYD2

TF 5 could use a Jeff Nathanson type to handle script duties

 

I have an easy way to make Transformers 5 do well in NA.  And it's really simple.

 

It needs to pull a Fast and Furious franchise move and unite the casts from past and present.  Get Shia, Meagan, his parents, Tyrese, Duhamel, Turturro and Wahlberg all in the same film.  Cut the run time down to 125-130 minutes and I am 99.99% positive that you would see it go back over 300 mill.

It's like we got early-2000s sex nutso Angelina back for one more night

If TF4 hadn't had China it would have looked a lot worse.

 

You mean if it hadn't of grossed a record amount in China, it would have still made about 825-850 mill?

Apes needs to breakout next week for the sake of these weekend threads

[Jack Nevada]

Well, Being John Malkovich is a really striking film and one hell of a debut but I still prefer Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine.Way way better than Synechdoche New York, though. That movie was so up its own ass.

I can see this happening on Labor Day weekend.

I was thinking this. Uniting both casts would get at least Dark of The Moon domestic numbers. An increase is gauranteed domestically.

Nobody gives a shit about half of those people.

[BobbyJohn]

I'm scared to even google Meagan Fox's current pics. Would she even resemble her TF2 character lol?

Mods. Update the title

 

Hi mods, can you update the title please?

 

Sure Donald, I'd be happy to do that for you.  

 

Manners, it goes a long way.

 

True story:

 

I drove to California from Toronto when I was 21 years old.  While staying in Springfield Missouri (nicest ,friendliest place I have ever been to) at breakfast, we ordered and said please and thank you.  Because of this, the waitress asked if we were Canadian and then the breakfast was on the house because we were so polite.

Another bad drop after a huge opening weekend.  Atleast TF4 was able to repeat for the weekend.  Tammy was low budget, it's gross will be icing on the cake at this point.  Echo called Earth and not many people picked up the phone.  Good holds for EOT and Mal.
