Tbh, people have clearly moved on even before it ended. In a year nobody will remember this franchise existed.

 

Nobody even remembers Maze Runner and Divergent exist and those still have movies coming out At least I will see the end of Maze Runner on the big screen. Can't say the same about Divergent. 

 

Yep. Happens all the time. 

 

if JLaw is still relevant in the future I can imagine it being brought up from time to time.

Don't worry, there will be a other Bond movie with or without Craig  

 

As for MJ2, there is no way that they will let this be under $100 mil, no matter what they have to do to keep it there.  Not saying they will have to do anything but if they do have to , they will

If another major terrorist attack happens, SWs OW gross will be the least of our worries.

Perspective, thank you

Carol is very good. Absolutely gorgeous to look at; the costumes and set design are worth a ticket alone. It evokes an entrancing wintertime melancholy. Blanchett is great. That said, I never fully connected with it. Maybe it's almost too reserved and pristine? It started to hook me emotionally more towards the very end, but it never grabbed me. Hope to see it again soon.

Oof. What a weekend. Not only did the openers disappoint, the holdovers did too. Even BoS and Goosebumps had nasty drops. 

 

Anyone have any good help hotline numbers for me in case MJ2 goes below 100 in actuals?

They won't go below 100M.

There is nothing wrong with MJ2's opening week end, move along people, move along.

Are you joking? It is a series low and the definition of a dissapointment.

maybe they should have gotten Taylor Swift to write another song for this movie. Might have helped

This might sound stupid, but I think a good song connected to a movie helps with the buzz/hype. That Taylor Swift song from Catching Fire was EVERYWHERE in 2013. And last year MJ1 marketing seemed to turn around when they decided to use the song Jennifer Lawrence sings in the movie.

Taylor Swift wrong a song for the first one. Not CF. 

 

Catching Fire's main song was by Coldplay

My mistake. Either way both of those were everywhere. I remember hearing them non-stop.

Not sure how a Taylor Swift song from Catching Fire was everywhere in 2013 since she didn't do one for the movie. 

 

CF didn't have any remote hit song. Unless you're thinking of Elastic Heart by Sia, however even though that was on the soundtrack for CF, that was not a hit until earlier this year when that weird, creepy ass video with Shia LaBeouf and the little girl was made for it.

It had the one from Coldplay. At least over here that song was very popular.

Yeah, a hit song with a movie honestly helps.  Guardians of the Galaxy utilized songs that had already been a hit, not a direct example but also applies.

 

The Great Gatsby's music helped it out, as did Safe and Sound for the Hunger Games.  And that Fifty Shades of Grey song could have helped out.

 

You also have things like Let it Go propelling Frozen, Skyfall helping Skyfall, and so forth.

I'm certain that wasn't a hit at all in the US at least.

Well since this is such a downer of a weekend and we're kinda on the subject of songs, Adele is projected to sell as much as 3 million copies of her album domestically this week. For those who don't follow the industry, that obliterates the opening sales week to dust and is essentially equivalent to a movie having a $300m OW.
