mattzollerseitz Superhero is the only genre where, if a critic pans a film, some viewers react as if a bee stung them in the face. This still baffles me. 3/26/16, 6:03 AM

 

Pretty simple. It's perpetual geek mentality. Always wanting to be accepted by the cool kids and then being affronted when things don't go as expected, falling back on the trusty old, "I'm too precious for them anyway" comfort logic.

Jesus, when three of the top four posters are mods....  

And when most of the others are people who actively disliked the movie, some even before seeing it. Makes you realize how reductive the comments in here have been and how insane I was for reading them all.

Deadpool with 1.68M for Friday. Just a 25% drop from last Friday. Will it be over/under $5M for the weekend?  Now that's the real question that people need to be asking

It means the thread is infested.

Much better OD number, should hit 165M maybe even 170M. 360-370M finish and 1B+ WW.

But in part that's because you didn't like it. (I know it's sort of a chicken and egg situation). I had fun. I thought it was fun.

I found the whole movie to be problematic though, not just the tone. Most of the time I just sat there wishing that the terrific cast (and lord does this movie waste some great actors in nothing parts, poor Holly Hunter) I had spent their time doing something more worthy of their talents.

I really wanna watch that Sally Fields movie.

Divergent down 69% despite Good Friday. Ouch!

Seeing the three together was fun. Fun is not exclusive to 'telling jokes.'

It would need all time bad legs to do that even potter legs will bring it to 390 with the OW around 170

[Focus]

Great OD #. Confirmed for overtaking JW?

[GiantCALBears]

$82m is a pretty solid number from previews, looks like the under TDKr OW is on life support.

Does EU or latin American countries even have Good Friday as a holiday? I'm not quite clear on other countries vacation patterns. 

Of course we do

[department store basement]

On another note, Daddy's Home finally crossed 150m. Ferrell's only PG-13 or higher movie to do so.

AFAIK most Latinamerican countries have Thursday and Friday. A few have Monday as well.
