I may have to see this one more time since I doubt I will watch anything until RPO

Such a shame what's happened to Duncan Jones. I guess Garland stole his mojo.

At least he lasted longer than Blomkamp. 

[Dementeleus]

Nothing happened to either of them. 

[CoolioD1]

yeah duncan jones always been overhyped.

[AniNate]

There is one element of this movie where practical effects (I assume) probably weren't the way to go.

[Kvikk Lunsj]

Duncan Jones should do a comic book movie to upstart his career.

How do you know some aliens from outer space haven't come to each of their homes and zapped their talent and placed it into a basketball

I'm debating about using my movie points to see this again today

Based on my data. We'll see how accurate it is. 

0.4 million???

[Deja23]

Just finished watching this. I liked it a lot. Got a bit queasy a few times, but it wasn’t as weird as I thought it’d be. There were a couple of scenes that seemed to go on for forever though. My friend called one of them insane. As we got up to leave, someone asked if anyone understood what we just watched. I’m honestly still trying to figure that out. B+

I'm calling BS on the Thursday numbers.  900k Thursday, 3.5M Th+Fr?

BS on...the official Thursday numbers?

Yes.  I just don't see it.  I wouldn't call Thursday numbers "official" since they are really Friday.

 

You saw my Game Night 0.8-0.9 estimate (reported 1.0) using the same data. 

[That One Girl]

Not buying that $202M OW figure for Black Panther.  Just don't see it.

This is a great, great deep dive into Alex Garland's process of filmmaking. I don't think there are many spoilers in there (though there are some hints about what the big third-act sequence is), so while it's well worth reading, hold off until you've seen the movie.
