Good portion of movie goers haven't gone to any IMAX at all. It doesn't make it right.

 

If they don't know how big it can be, they'll be happy with what they have......the metaphor here is food.

I'm pretty sure the only real IMAX I've ever been to is the one at the California Science Center.

Nice to know Angry Birds is doing good!

Seeing it Sunday!

Usually when people say something like this they're exaggerating. They forget that it's always been about money first, that the past is romanticized because we remember what was good and forget what was bad.

 

But in this case you're right.  

 

We are officially living during the saddest, most pathetically risk-averse time EVER for studio filmmaking. 

 

I'm a huge fan of tracking box office and I couldn't give less of a fuck how most of today's movies are performing. 

 

 

 

And yet, there's still a ton of interesting movies being made. Sure, most of them don't have a big budget, but it's not like they vanished off the face of the earth.

So pumped to see The Nice Guys tomorrow been getting hype for it for weeks now.  Caught Money Monster this week and honestly thought it was kind of a snooze fest.  Everything in it was just paint by numbers to me and I'm confused why it got such incredible reception out of Cannes.  Wasn't terrible or anything but as middle of the road as it gets.

 

My favorite film of the year (along with Cap) so far is Hello My Name Is Doris.  Caught a matinee last weekend and absolutely LOVED it.

Angry Birds: 12M

Cap: 10M

Neighbors: 9M

Nice Guys: 4M

[WrathOfHan]

Neighbors and Nice Guys are down .5M from Deadline's numbers, not good. 

[Avatree]

Yassss, 40M+ for Angry Birds.

[Avatree]

Everything going according to plan... first time every movie has performed as I predict in some time 

[WrathOfHan]

A 10M Friday for Cap would put it down 49% from last week. The number itself is slightly less than AOU's 3rd Friday but ahead of IM3's

Well, you do have the vibe of a 67-year-old.
