Speaking of MI2, what happened to Dougray Scott's career after that movie?

Well there's Taken 3...

[AJG]

Time to retry MI2

Why would you do that?

[grey ghost]

He did alot of shit between MI2 and Taken 3.

Speaking of MI2, what happened to Dougray Scott's career after that movie?

Lots of indie UK films and TV. He did show up on Desparate Housewives and in Hitman. (Also, I did not know he was another actor who was almost Bond.)

Nothing much notable

Daniel Craig probably looks at Dougray's career and quietly says to himself "that could've been me".

He's probably regretting doing MI2, instead of playing Wolverine in X-Men.

He would've definitely gotten more mileage from Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman played Wolverine six times which opened up many other doors.

Playing Wolverine in a potential franchise would have done better for his career, then playing a one-off villain in another.

 

Oh well, at least with the change in cast, it gave us Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. I think that was for the best.

I'm very optimistic about SW7 domestic.

I think it could challenge JW for the 2015 domestic crown

Overseas is another story. I have no idea where it will fall overseas.

Revenge of the Sith made only 468 m but was way back in 2005.

Inflation and expanded markets means SW7 will make more OS but how much more?

AM's drop very disappointing. Don't really get it either. Everyone I spoke to loved the film, WoM is amazing, yet its second weekend drop is huge against underperforming new openers. I expected a decent run and CA/Thor numbers but with MI5 and FF coming out it ain't happening.

There was a shooting in a theater yesterday. Lets not forget that.

The jury's still out on Ant-Man's worldwide take.

If it ends up around 450 m WW, I doubt Disney will be shedding many tears.

I'm talking about its entire run not a particular day. Given its repeat viewing potential and good WoM a semi-leggy run was expected yet it's gonna end up closer to TIH than to Thor.

[Frozen]

Just left Pixels. It was pretty good. No where near as bad as I thought it would be given the reviews.

[grey ghost]

Yeah, people pretty much accepted Aurora hurt TDKR, so why did we expect Ant-Man to be immune to another shooting?

[TServo2049]

Maybe the people you've spoken to aren't representative of the general moviegoing public. There are plenty of movies that underperform even though it feels like everyone we know likes them, there are plenty of movies that do great business even though it feels like nobody we know likes them. The GA is much bigger than our small circles of friends. I dunno.

Ant-Man's OW is almost identical to TIH and yet it should make an extra 20-25 million domestic.

That's gotta count for something.

[Dementeleus]

That's gotta count for something.

Given inflation and 3D, that performance looks less impressive, though.

[BK007]

It's hard to feel much disappointment, even though I think Ant Man is the 2nd or 3rd best Marvel movie, when you know a second will become universe-servicing like the rest of the bullshit Marvel puts out. 

 

At least it exists. Hopefully it holds up, and if it does, I'm glad just that we've got one.

 

I mean, I don't like any of the Iron Mans anymore so, you know, things change.
