Weekend Thread: Grimsby Bros leads the way with massive 3.1M, 10CL has decent 25.2M, Zootopia crumbles to $50M ;) P.31

[La Binoche]

How is it a slow weekend? There are so many quality movies to track. A slow weekend is when a Marvel piece of shit opens to $150m+ and cannibalizes the whole marketplace. Now that's boring. 

[Ethan Hunt]

My slow weekend comment was made sarcastically.

Woah, that's a stretch. It's a bit premature to predict a sum that big.

 

Its not. Its almost certain to happen as of now in fact, as long as 270m can be crossed DOM. And even if it doesn't cross 500m Dom+China it will come very close to that.

Is that why those Marvel weekend threads get over 100 pages by Saturday?

Can someone explain Spectre's crazy numbers to me? It lost about 30 theaters this past week, but made more than it did the week before? It actually went up 80% from last Friday.

There is no explanation, Sony is trying to do whatever they can to get it to 200M

Idk. It's down to 16 theaters and it went up 80% from last weekend. I thought it dropped from 93 to 63 this weekend, but I read that wrong. It actually dropped from 63 to 16....and went up 80%. So I guess every Sony employee was forced to buy a ticket or there was some major fudging, which probably won't end this weekend. 

[That One Girl]

So who else saw 10CL?  I thought it was absolutely fantastic and recommend you see it ASAP.

[Impact]

I did not realize Dirty Grandpa was still in the top 10 films of the year-let alone number 7 until I just checked now! (And I didn't realize How to be Single made that much either)

[Impact]

They should just keep Spectre playing until the day it hits 200M-even if it takes another month

Spectre: O/U Superman Returns gross?

Even stranger, its per showing average is 750 dollars, did tickets cost 300 bucks or something?

[Ethan Hunt]

Speaking of SPECTRE. The rewatch has started. 

[RyneOh1040]

Man, today was one of those days that comes around every few years where I saw a double feature and am reminded what gets me so excited about movies.

 

I actually saw Cloverfield first, but back to that in a second...

 

Let's talk about how Zootopia is maybe the most culturally relevant film of the past 3-5 years.  Man, this is why I love Disney (and especially Pixar even though this wasn't theirs): they don't dumb down their audience and realize young crowds can handle heavy messages, even if they don't grasp it all at once.  The themes they went after for an animation film were NUTS.  Factor that in with great animation, smart casting choices and a BRILLIANT script.  It's a home run.  The only Disney Animation I liked anywhere near this much was Frozen.

 

Now to Cloverfield Lane.  HOLY.  SHIT.  I just cannot believe how incredible this baby is.  Will easily end up on my end of year top 10 and I would almost lock a spot in the top 3.  I think it's that good.  They blended so many genres successfully and made an absolutely riveting experience.  I wish this were Oscar bait someway, somehow because I think Goodman's performance deserves a nomination.  Winstead will always be a gem (this, Scott Pilgrim and Smashed prove to me she can kill anything).  Thank god for movies with smart characters, particularly female protagonists.  We don't get enough of that.  I will be seeing this many more times in the theater and would recommend it to everyone.  It's as must see as it gets.

 

WHAT A WEEKEND.
