Don't really care for these films.

 

Just wanna see TFA and maybe The Big Short, Carol, Brooklyn, etc.

She's EIGHTEEN years old.  She has plenty of time to make her mark as an adult actress.  Look at the ancient Saorise Ronan, it took her until she was all of 21 to have the breakout adult role in Brooklyn.

 

 

Saorise is a much better actress.

Those are accurate IMO. They are good entertainment for 2 hours. I won't see them once more though.

Someone I follow on Twitter made this hilarious tweet that's since been deleted:

 

"Dirty Grandpa is like Bad Grandpa except the only prank is that Robert De Niro is in the movie in the first place."

Thursday Night Report: 'Dirty Grandpa' Starts With Decent $660K; 'The 5th Wave' Posts Soft $475K #DirtyGrandpa... http://fb.me/2DP5tHR7w

Of note this weekend is the fact that a major winter storm is currently making its way across the east coast and could affect major metropolitan areas depending on where exactly it lands. This is likely to have some small effect on the box office, as will this weekend's NFL championship games. As a result, grosses for the openers (and possibly some holdovers) are likely to come in below pre-weekend expectations. The Revenant, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Ride Along 2 are likely to repeat as the top three films.

Early weekend estimates based on official Friday estimates from the studios will be posted on Saturday morning.

The massive snow storm is expected to dump more than 2 feet of snow on Washington D.C., 18 inches on Philadelphia and about a foot on New York City. Experts believe the weekend blizzard could rank near the top 10 to ever hit the region.

More than 2,500 flights were canceled early Thursday amid the wintry storm. Nearly 400 out of Charlotte International Airport — 54% of all scheduled flights — were called off, flight tracking service Flight Aware reported. Hundreds more from airports in Washington D.C., Atlanta, Nashville and Raleigh were canceled, too.

Train service could be disrupted as well, by frozen switches, the loss of third-rail electric power or trees falling on overhead wires. About 1,000 track workers will be deployed to keep New York City's subway system moving, and 79 trains will have "scraper shoes" to reduce icing on the rails, the Metropolitan Transit Authority said.

How many recent movies have less than a 10% on RT and still opened to more than 10 million? The Roommate, Jack and Jill, The Devil Inside, Scary Movie 5, Ouija, Blart 2, and Fant4stic, is there anything else?

Hot Pursuit got an amazing 7% and opened with more than $10M.

If only Rey had heels and had learnt to stop being silly about a career and start churning out children.

Oh, but have you seen the movie? There are a lot of changes? I don't see much fans complaining about changes like they did with Insurgent

No no I haven't, but I may go tomorrow or Sunday and despite reviews I'm actually looking forward to it.

[Mockingjay Raphael]

I wonder if the director of The Boy will be able to receive another F in CinemaScore just like he received with Devil Inside

I know pretty well why you're excited to watch it

Still surprised it got that. Audience reception was just mediocre, not horrible, unlike the other movies I listed.

It probably deserved such severe pans just for wasting talent the way it did. Also: Sofia Vergara, don't quit your day job.

Its kind of weird, but Moretz seems like she should be a much bigger deal than she is, she gets a lot of press coverage and gets cast in high profile parts all the time but hasn't had that big box office breakthrough yet.

Thought Chloe Grace Moretz was good in the first Kick Ass, but since then, there's always seemed to be something odd about her.  

 

Maybe it's her unbelievably creepy hanger-on brother....

Early aud metrics show poor word-of-mouth for both #DirtyGrandpa & #5thWave but #TheBoy scoring quite well for a fright flick.

[Frozen]

The Boy currently has no reviews. What gives?
