Is there any good candies to eat before this?  smoking marijuana and walking to the theater is to much buzzkill and does not seem to be working out.  Candies SUCK for the movie experience, but there has got to be something good.  Smoking gets you baked right away and then after 2 hours, your good.

Love, Simon was a lot funnier than I thought it would be.  The obnoxious character when he dressed as the 'Freudian slip' for Halloween, one of my favorites...  and the Star Spangled Banner scene... I was holding in the laughing but trying not to pee my pants.  I walked to the theater and got super stoned on the way there.  I do not react well with THC, I get overly sensitive, and usually VFX films are my best bet in such circumstances, so going in alone to a PG-13 high school rom-com felt as awkward as it could possibly be when I am at least ten years older than these characters.  I was even debating with watching Midnight Sun instead..

 

Caution to large groups... the theater seats you sit on might be measuring your pulse.  The air rests and flooring are firm and one has to put pressure on their limbs for up to 100 minutes in such environment. there is a lot of contact with pressure points.  

 

 

Do you ever see movies while not high?

yes, but soda or exercise or some kind of stimulant is still required. 

probably went to theater 100+ times up to Sept 2017 while not high and it made the experience better as far as remembering the movie and understanding everything all at once.  *it also limited repeat viewings by huge margin

it is something to do, costs less than popcorn, it wears off by the middle of the movie, and probably most theaters have beer on tap anyways. or a frappuccino machine

Rumor are of a very reasonable low 115m:

That sound really low, I imagine that is the kind of movie that if it would have not done well Deadline, some sources think it is more around 140m if not more....

Then it will make money. 400 mill WW should happen

If the prod budget is sub-125, 3x+ that globally shouldn't be difficult. But I hope China does not carry all the weight and Dom at least does 75-80.

85 dom + 140 Ch + 175 os-Ch = 400

85*0.55 + 140*0.25 + 175*0.33 = 140 theatrical revenue

I don't think it's bigger than 125 mln.

The independent put their review up then quickly took it down, all I can see is the title.

It is true that it is relatively lower key:

 

Production Companies

• Flynn Picture Company
• New Line Cinema
• Twisted Media
• Wrigley Pictures

 

I would not think New Line have a max budget by WB too and it is a Dwayne Johnson fighting monster in what had the potential to be a giant world release title affair, Angelina Jolie was getting 125.88m net for something like SALT (144.07m today) not so long ago, that would be sign that the budget are really going down and down and not just for the comedy genre, if it is close to the truth (say just the usual 10-15% massaged down).

Isn't it kind of late for reviews to still not be allowed up?

It's not about "have" it's more about Emmerich politic's. I see a lower budgets for all WB in the near future (and it's absolutely right for studio).

 

When Disney makes  "The Jungle Book" with 175 mln budget, and you (WB) spent 180 mln for "Tarzan" with lesser potential - it's already incorrect in any ways.

Budgets for big movies work in mysterious ways.

[MrGlass2]

It is pointless to argue about budget in great details when all "sources" like Deadline are about as reliable as Wikipedia.

[Alli]

I'm always suspicious of these huge budgets. If they were true the movie industry would have been dead a long time ago

It is, less worrisome because it is a WB release and they often do it even for well reviewed title (Wonder Woman, MadMax, It, etc...) but still as late as it get, considering it is playing to regular paying audience in the UK in 5 hours....

 

They will not be able to stop them by then I would imagine.
