Both America and Citizen Koch seem to be doing well.

[Blankments]

Saw Apes. Really good. Liked the first better. CGI was fucking insanely goodn

Hm, really? Color me surprised

[superduperm]

I don't understand people who liked the first one better. I mean, you can have your opinion, but the climax and scenes of intensity were brilliant and incredibly thrilling and made Rise's Golden Gate Bridge scene look like a wimp in comparison.

[superduperm]

Any updates, Rth?

[Deep Wang]

Boyhood is like 3 hours, no? Anybody seen it? Is it a fast 3 hours?

 

It's actually 2 minutes shorter than the Transformers currently mucking up theaters.

 

Let that sink into your brain.

 

Also, man look at 22JS go!!

So I was looking at the current standings for biggest movies of the summer. Other people have probably mentioned this or realized it, but it just occured to me that Avengers Age Of Ultron will come close to having a bigger OW than the final domestic gross of the biggest films of summer 2014.

 

The current #1 film of summer is still only at 229M (and we're already past the middle of July!!!!), and while I think Ultron might come in just a bit under that, that number is certainly at least on the table for it.

 

That's just crazy.

and Transformers is probably better

For an R-rated comedy sequel... in this summer... Jump Street's legs have been nothing short of great.

[Jack Nevada]

Are the numbers still good?

[pepsa]

Do we have any wednesday numbers?

[straggler]

Summer has been a bit of a bore. No film is going to get near $300 million in the US. T4 will probably end up in the 240 range.

Don't be.  The first is one of my faves of the last decade.  It dealt a lot with animal rights and that really appealed to me.

[baumer]

Do we have any wednesday numbers?

 

Usually if we do, there is already a thread for them.

Thanks Spatula. Horrible for Apes. TF4 looks like its heading towards a good drop after 2 bad ones.

[Hilderic]

No Transformers will be number one movie of the summer.

If TF keeps dropping sharply, Maleficent can still win. And Apes has a chance. And GOTG as well, if it opens above $70m.

Good point. I like both of the recent Apes movies a lot; they're pretty underrated when discussions of blockbusters come up
