Tele must be deeply crying somewhere.

Why would he cry? He's used to shitty movies getting sequels.

[PDC1987]

Sure, but it wasn't quality that got Avengets and JW the legs they did. Sure, they both were pretty good movies, but (like Ted for another example) the legs came from the novelty.

Bullshit.

 

Just because something is novel doesn't mean people like what they are seeing.

[Ethan Hunt]

Chappie is.a pretty dang good.movie

I start back to school on the 24th of August

Better film does not always translate to higher gross. Sometimes the first is a singular phenomenon even if the sequel is received as being a "better" movie. And sometimes the "better" sequel is not received as resoundingly by the GA. Spider-Man 2 says hi.

I think is going to drop no matter what. Still going to do well, but it will drop. And we'll all act shocked about it. Again.

Yeah but it has a chance it will do better if it becomes a much better film. It's not 100% certain it will do less.

My only requisite for a movie passing TITANIC is that I like it.

So...

For me that fell with Avatar.

Jesus, when I was a kid, schools started back after Labor Day.. In Sept when the kid actually has a summer to look forward to.. I'm sorry for kids today that have to start back to school in Mid July.. The fuck is up with that??

Most schools in Minnesota start after Labor Day, few start before, and few go year around.

Yup, like Pacific Rim 2

a new look to predict Thurs #'s/

 

Predict the cumulative total for preview #'s.  Pixels - 2 + paper - 2.5 + Southpaw - 0.9 + Vatican - 0.1 = 5.5 million.

subtract small amounts from the top 20 Wednesday numbers to try to make a reasonable balance (but not exact)

example.

Ant-Man - subtract 0.5M

Minions - subtract 0.3M

Spy - subtract 50k

San Andreas - subtract 20k

etc

[CelestialFairyIX]

I start school the second week of September.

[Deep Wang]

Yup, like Pacific Rim 2

Oh no you didn't!

[CJohn]

Yup, like Pacific Rim 2 

BURN ALL OF YOU MOTHERFUCKERS.

 

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN

[dxmatrixdt]

hsx updated 2,772 for Southpaw.  All we need now is Vatican Tapes

[RyneOh1040]

Saw Ant Man last night and just flat out did not like it.  My least favorite of the Marvel releases so far that felt incredibly half assed.

[dxmatrixdt]

BOM has 427 for Vatican Tapes!

[Dementeleus]

Yup, like Pacific Rim 2 

[Empire]

Jurassic World won't pass Titanic. Not because you didn't like it, simply because it won't do it. It doesn't have enough left in the tank to squeeze past Cameron's movie.

So, you could say that Jurassic World is.......crumbling.

[JennaJ]

So, you could say that Jurassic World is.......crumbling.

 

OK, yeah, not funny anymore. 

[Maxmoser3]

I think Paper Towns will now possibly lead the weekend.

[Mattrek]

OK, yeah, not funny anymore.

That doesn't matter on these forums. You'll get used to it. Eventually a new meme or joke will start and it'll be good for a week and then that too will get used until it's dead and buried into the earth's core and then the cycle will repeat again.
