Weekend Actuals: Inside Out - 90.44M | Jurassic World - 106.59M

[The Futurist]

So many blockbusters these days are shapeless messes. it amazes me that there are people here willing to heap praise on said movies (all the marvel for example) and then bitch and whine about avatar's script. it's incredible. 

 

Don t get it either.

The Avatar hate always felt irrational to me.

I dont understand it.

[Mojoguy]

Wow, just saw someone on SHH trying to argue Dark Shadows provided more competition to Avengers than Inside Out provided to JP4.

Marvel fanboys.

[CelestialFairyIX]

One of the attributes of the human psyche that I loathe to infinity and beyond (Cue Mariah's song) is the mindset that once a certain film achieves immense success and is loved by everyone, they differentiate themselves by dirtying the clean water as we've seen with Frozen, Avatar, Titanic (yes, I've seen this happen), and now, Jurassic World to a partial default.  I do understand why it gets annoying after listening to the 10,000,00th person try to hit the stratospheric notes of Let it Go or when the 10,000,000th nerd/geek (whatever the derogatory term is) orgasms over the special effects and world make up of Avatar but that does not equate to one attacking another due to their opinion but I guess you can't really change that in an age when remaining anonymous while insulting others is not that high regarded of a crime as it should be.  And I'm sure I'm looking too much into this as this was the case with Titanic, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, ONE SWEET DAY, and so on during their heydays.  I mean, can you imagine The Circle of Life being belted out for the 10,000,000th (wow, this number is getting really repetitive, LOL) time!   

 

PS: One Sweet Day is a song by Mariah Carey that holds the title for most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with sixteen and is often synonymous with "Most overplayed song of the 1990's" during it's heyday.

Marvel fans are fucking delusional.

The over predicting of SW7 is already starting

 

@sethgs yep. An exec tell me the other day he feels STAR WARS does $4 billion including 1 billion in China alone and was being dead serious

But why people trash Avatar for its tried archetypes, isn't  what 99% all other blockbusters are doing anyway ?

 

Why this criticism always comes up specifically for Avatar, I never understood that.

 

Man, Boyhood, Her, Birdman were full of terrible clichés and archetypes and nobody bitches about it.

Avatar gets way more criticism because it made so much money.

 

The bigger you are, the more poeople hope you will fall.

^^ But who here is actually insulting other posters? Unless I missed something, we're just disagreeing with each other.

See, now that's just a bitter JW hater.

 

He also busted out the "holiday weekend" argument while failing to acknowledge the fact TA1's weekdays were deflated by $25m compared to JP4, thus BOOSTING the second weekend gross of TA1.

 

The facts are out there with SM1, DMC, TDK, and TA1's weekday vs. weekend performance to know that what JP4 did this weekend was fucking incredible regardless of the holiday on Sunday.

TT I quit playing the games after X/Y and haven't played it in a year!  I'll probably get back to playing it when Z or X2/Y2 comes out and I'll friend you then!  

[grim22]

To be fair, people were calling Ultron to easily overhaul Furious 7's haul as well.

Nice, that is my current go-to theater for IMAX. Watch a movie there at least once a month, The District or The Marketplace are closer for 2D and 3D movies.

Which was not even my intention with JW. Just felt the nostalgia factor in proportion to the WOM needed to be addressed, and then people who love the movie wanted to turn that into me being a hater. Kind of another annoying attribute of the human psyche while we're at it. If someone loves something, they can be way too damn sensitive towards that subject.

When I saw Rth's avatar, my heart skipped a beat because I thought he was going to give us an update.

Then I realized it's only 4 on the west coast.

You not a fan of Hoenn, sis? Don't make me drag you.

 

But okay, I'll be waiting.
