Or F7 for that matter with the even rarer Asian director of a blockbuster (there is James Wan and who else?).

how is an asian director of a block buster "even rarer" How many black directors of block busters have we had before F7?

Wrinkle will do "fine". No need to go endlessly over the useless RT audience score.

 

Apparently after Last Jedi, the RT audience score is LAW, LAW I TELL YOU

Singleton on F2 for one. F. Gary Gray previously did Italian Job remake. 

[AniNate]

Only other one that immediately comes to mind is Tim Story with the F4 movies. F. Gary Gray also had previous hits in Straight Outta Compton and The Italian Job. 

 

Not sure if Peter Ramsey on Rise of the Guardians counts. I do think Asians don't have the difficulty landing gigs that Africans do, and that can probably be chalked up to the fact that they do have a much bigger economic presence in the world at large.

Okay, we're now at the "WhataboutdemAsiandirectors?" ticking box of the shitposting bingo.

 

(They're doing mighty fine, thanks for your faux concern. What about black female directors for hence?).

It feels very rare to see an Asian-American director on a Hollywood movie; at least as rare as an African-American, possibly moreso.

I agree it's rare but sometimes the way people post about black people rubs me the wrong way lol.

You know, while I get that race is a touchy subject, you really should never be triggered by any post made five hours ago that has been long overlooked. 

 

A lot of the problems the forum has with its civility come down to otherwise intelligent posters not knowing how to pick their battles.

I don't think review scores are going to matter for this one. The Greatest Showman and Peter Rabbit turned out fine without fresh ratings. The family/general audience is certainly willing to overlook films that are at least not appallingly bad. So if it does happen to flop, I think it will be for a different reason than its quality.

Peter Rabbit is fresh. Exactly at 60% lol.

I think that must have been a very recent review that pushed it over. It was sitting at 59% for all of last week.

Huh. The more you know...

Nobody talks about that conspiracy to make James Corden happens.

Between this and Ocean's Eight, it's gonna be a fun couple of months around these parts (not really).

[AniNate]

Dark Phoenix probably isn't going to be much of a picnic either.
