You should be following the Civil War thread though (the actual one, not the spoiler one, haven't gone in there since it was screened). It's sexy.

 

Too bad that Ted Cruz talk got deleted

I know it's been talked about for years but I don't think his Animal Farm is ever gonna get made. It would be expensive and it's hard to justify that when the film would have a limited audience. Most adult dramas aren't laiden with expensive effects.

 

Especially since his Jungle Book will likely Bomb (good or not) simply because it was best to the punch.

I thought it was because the mods snapped because someone posted a gif of one of the actresses in a thong and made the thread NSFW. The double standards of this forum, tsk tsk.

It was sexy. Things died down the last 10 pages or so.

It was a bunch of gratuitous gifs and pics of the stars (both male and female) from other projects lol.

I mean, the farthest we've gone to with the guys was Evans in the whipped cream gif, and that was in a spoiler tag. That other dude posted the booty all out and everywhere.

I am far more interested in knowing more about that Jungle Book Sunday drop.

 

So you never followed Sisters's BO then?

 

That was a great run. Never made 14m once during a weekend, still made 87m in total.

Well, there is usually always a movie over 20M on every weekend, so...

That too for sure.

 

BvS should be around 820M+ after the weekend. Not bad after being burdened with a 29RT and a coordinated campaign to destroy it. Not bad at all.

 

agreed indeed with this.

Why are people still debating BvS profitability? What a joke. This argument was dead and buried a while ago. BvS, will at the end overall, when including home video sales and merchandising profits, be very comfortably profitable. Period.

 

yep its a success and only the 2nd movie for DCEU. JL will be in a totally different tone and will be more accesable to the general audience and will be better for repeat business. BvS is a very dark movie. JL will not be

It's a very badly directed but the movie never got the scorn of humanity like BvS. I am not a big defender of BvS: The only thing I like about BvS is the trailer. And Snyder is great visuals but kinda hopeless in a big massive commercial machinery they are to build to fight MCU. Still, the amount of hate & ridicule is worse than reality TV. Just a series of god-awful smear campaign, scorched earth policy of the highest order. It almost feels like it's organized. With the hype building on Suicide Squad & a solo Batman movie, I guess Warner seems to have a knack/preference for the edgier, darker, more violent, ethically challenged superheroes/villains rather than "good ole boy" superheroes like Superman or Green Lantern. 

 

 

 

 

agreed the hate BvS has gotten is insane. Its like a freakin cult trying to tear it down. Just crazy stuff

I am curious how much the horrid WOM(sub 2x) of BvS is gonna effect the opening of Justice League.  Man of Steel had a mixed reception to say the least, but throwing Batman / Wonder Woman into the sequel negated that.  But now that the big 3 have been in the same movie together, what exactly is gonna be the allure for Justice League?  Aquaman and Flash? lol...

 

JL will be totally different. It will be lighter, it will be more fun and it will finally see all these heroes together like the avengers having onscreen chemistry with each other through out the movie..

But that's not how the movie came across though with the inclusion of WONDER WOMAN, then the glorified cameo's of the other members and I just think the general audience doesn't care.. It's basically a case where 1 studio beat another studio t the punch and anything after that comes across as a "Wannabe"..

 

have you even seen BvS. Because it sure does not sound like you have any clue what you are talking about

I didn't follow box office back then and that is an exception because it is a movie that expanded in time. It didn't went wide from the start. So those don't count. I am following Eye in the Sky for example, shame it didn't had any more expansions.

I only realized Sisters was around 80M on the MLK weekend. Never gave a shit about his run. Good movie, tho.

Yeah, it seems bad to call something a bomb 2 years before release, but I can't see how it gets out of the shadow of this movie. regardless, I can't wait to see how Andy Serkis makes a movie.

Whenever I read mredman posts I can hear Eye of the Tiger playing.

[johnboy3434]

Out of curiosity, whenever we've had two movies in relatively close proximity that cover the exact same material (an adaptation of a public domain story, a biopic of a real person, etc.), has it ever turned that they both became successful in the end? Or has one of them always been the red-headed stepchild?

He's basically becoming Glenn Close at the end of Fatal Attraction in his defense of Batman v Superman's legs. No matter what happens, just won't die for good.

Well there's Deep Impact and Armageddon.
