Martha won't die this weekend

LETS DO THIS MY BODY IS READY!

[Mezmer]

Don't really care much for the opening. Pretty sure it's gonna do good numbers. I only care about the legs. 

[pensivepenguin]

I think the previews for this will be lower than what people are expecting, which will then cue the initial wave of meltdowns.  

 

Then on Friday RTH will swing by and give a very, very early Friday numbers (like it's only 3pm on the west coast), to which people will reply with "crisis averted!" or some variation thereof.  Folks would stop by with their own sellout counts from their local cinemas, people go through Twitter and post pics by other people long lines outside theaters (or lack of).  We grasp at these info until we get new numbers.

 

Then that estimate is contradicted by Deadline's early Friday numbers, which is higher than RTH's, and people break out the champagnes.  But RTH stops by after midnight, with an estimate that's quite a bit lower than very early initial numbers that he gave.  Then the second wave of meltdown happens.

 

The official Friday numbers are released just before noon on Saturday and it's not what people expect/wanted.  Cue third wave of meltdowns.

 

By Saturday night, everyone's tense.  CW has a much-better-than-expected Saturday per early estimates, people rejoice.

 

Lather, rinse, repeat on Sunday and Monday.

I know we're not supposed to discuss spoilers but I don't understand how Bigfoot becomes part of team Captain America and I didn't think it was possible for DC characters to show up in Marvel movies.  

 

Isn't it obvious? After You Know What happened earlier this year, DC sold the rights of their characters back to Marvel.

The scene where Affleck meets with RDJ and they go out of character to poke fun at the younglings in the cast was my fave.

 

What about that scene with Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and Wonder Woman? My eyes were very pleased by that

O/U the number of bans this weekend? I'll set the line at 2.5.

Bigger question: will John C-Nah return?

Why do you think BKB wants you guys gone this weekend? Madness is afoot  

[#ED]

I'm going to see this in about 9 hours. Should be fun. Looking forward to Spider-Man the most.

[Plain Old Tele]

Over/under on hours until I see it?

Everything is going to be fine. This won't bomb with a 190M OW

I know not, that name you speak of.

Thinking of going to an IMAX showing tonight. Depends on my mood after work though.
