Didn't Sally Field recently say in an interview that the only reason she was in those Amazing Spider-Man movies was because of Laura Ziskin and that never would've done it in a million years otherwise? lol.

Would it be possible that a part of the audience starts to not give a fuck about these movies, regardless of their perceived quality ?

 

That would not really be a good description of a 180m OW.    "Because people do not give a fuck about that movie".

 

Now if you were talking about this one....

This thread is already making me go for the whiskey and ibuprofen, and it's only 4pm Friday.

Mix in some Zolpidem and you can skip all of this if you'd like.

I still found it weird that people found a 50yo Marisa Tomei too young to be someone's aunt. Hot or not (and she's damn hot) have nothing to do with her age.

 

I think it comes down to Aunt May usually being portrayed as an old lady even when Peter was in high-school, even though it probably isn't that common for a woman that old to be a teenager's aunt.

This thread is a mess  

[CoolioD1]

Those criticisms are crazy, NO ONE i knew as a teen had 300 year old rosemary harris aunts.

Unlocking. Please settle down and behave or weekend bans may be forthcoming.

Were some of the posts from this thread moved to the club thread? Or did I just lose track of where I was posting?

Most aunts will realistically be around the same age as your own mother/father. 15 year old Peter with a 45-50ish Aunt May is pretty realistic, actually.

And that's my point, she's age-appropriate, but because she's hot, suddenly she's too young

I'm really surprised this is nowhere near avengers numbers. This is basically avengers 3 in its form and reviewing really well. Was avengers the pinnacle box office ow wise ?

You know what I guess made the JW weekend thread so much fun? APPARENTLY CAUSE IT WASNT ABOUT A FREAKING COMIC BOOK MOVIE! BvS thread could have been fun, but nope! This thread started off fine... but nope!!

 

Why is it impossible for bot to not act like children when there's a comic book movie opening? So many childish comments and arguments in the threads that make them unreadable. I know I sound like I'm really complaining right now, but let's just make the rest of this thread more enjoyable okay?

No, that was obviously Jurassic World and The Force Awakens.

I think it's just the law of diminishing returns in action.

Epic meltdown is epic.

No, this is nothing. Movie should rebound and have a fantastic, EXPECTED number.

 

The meltdown will begin if this movie final weekend gross is -13% less than Ultron's opening weekend.

 

Anyone has a calculator?....lol

 

I don't even want to bring that number.

Since Friday is 75M Estimated, I'm confidentally predicting 80-85M Saturday and 70-75M on Sunday.. We all know by now, well at least I do, that MARVEL Movies increase HEAVILY on Saturday and Sunday and this will be no exception..

So you are predicting,

25 + 50 + 80 (+60%) + 70 (-12.5%) = 225

still?
