Yeah it's not surprising given that Michael Bay has made 0 good movies.

I haven't watched it yet, but it had his best reviews since 2007, it can't be that bad 

 

actually, that's a lesson to learn, 13H is his most well received movie by critics since a long time, and it's going to end as one of his lowest grosser, ppl want the fun Bay, not the intelligent one

Honestly, the only reason the reviews are decent (60% isn't really good), is because it appears as if he actually tried to make a good movie in 13H.  Even most the positive reviews mention it's another Bayflick, it just feels more mature and it's a decent action film.

 

I mean, I am biased because I hated the movie, but if it had been a different director (where the critics actually had decent expectations of) I think it'd be well in the rotten range.

You're not the only one, I have friend that has an obsession on this shit  

 

but serious, for some weird reason, the first movie had such good legs, I wonder if the sequel can have a increase like Insidious 1 > 2 

[La Binoche]

Right. Michael Bay making a bad movie but one that's not a TOTAL piece of shit = decent reviews. Expectations are that low for that hack. 

[#ED]

Actuals aren't released till tomorrow for both the 3-day and 4-day weekend.

In terms of dom admissions, #StarWars #ForceAwakens has sold roughly 25% fewer tix than Titanic did in its initial 97/98 run.

Praying that this post doesn't cause the next %$&§ derailment...

I didn't think it was scary but it was pretty fun

Those are incredible jumps

 

Revenant 39M? That would mean +4M over the projections!

One wonders how you jump $11m worldwide from a $1.6m adjustment in estimates.
