RN should have no problem doing a 3x. 165-170 looks doable

Check your pms.

[DAR]

I saw a few TV ads for RN that highlighted the RT score. Reviews aren't the end all be all for me in seeing a movie. But I think this is the first time I've seen that used

[Asyulus]

$200m probable?

[CJohn]

Pixels time. See you on the other side guys.

[WrathOfHan]

You guys forgot a biggie on TV actors turned A-lister: CHRIS PRATT

Pixels is the best Sandler movie in 5 or 6 years and I have only seen half of it so far. If the lead wasn't Sandler this would have gotten a 35-45% RT score for sure.

100% agree.

i remember when the 1st teaser for pixels hit BOF went all gaga over it...

but when the release date got near...there was no excitement whatsoever...

wonder what happened there

July comparisons...

 

Curious when we will get the next over $1b in July

lab, I think he means a movie released in July that made 1B WW; not a 1B July.

[CJohn]

Haters be damned, Pixels is super awesome and tons of fun. Monday afternoon and theater is so full it might explode. The lines to buy tickets are insane.

[Frozen]

I really liked Pixels. It was a lot different than I expected after those reviews.

[Deep Wang]

Pixels is the best Sandler movie in 5 or 6 years and I have only seen half of it so far. If the lead wasn't Sandler this would have gotten a 35-45% RT score for sure.

It's not just him being lead that's the problem. But you're right, you remove him from the project and it has a very good chance at being better, though it wouldn't take much.

[Jessie]

WTF, someone explain to me how Cara isn't likable

 

clearly you haven't seen that recent interview with her

[CJohn]

Critics review directors and cast. It is the only justification for Tomorrowland having 50% on RT and Pixels being under 20%.

Critics can be bias, the same thing happens with certain Bay films, had any other directors name been attached to Pain and Gain, it would be fresh.

That's not really accurate, you've gotta look at calendar gross:

 

Is it possible someone cut ... whatever the thread? I got notifiers for posts... I think I already got?

 

(answer then was, I know, I still think it's interesting to compare, as it is consistent)

Yes, because 50% is such a good score.

[CJohn]

Yes, because 50% is such a good score.

It points towards a decent movie. Which Tomorrowland isn't.
