I disagree. You got any idea how satisfying it is to refuse service to a teenager? They get so desperate when they get ID'd and have no ID. On a boring day...it brightens things up.

This is the truest post ever. If we never kick you out, its because the usher is lazy (which isn't me, especially when the kid is being a jerk).

Hope Nice Guys can pick up a bit at night. Gah, why do estimates always go down when you're rooting for a movie and vice versa? 

 

Too bad you didn't root for Jungle Book

Yikes, disastrous OD for Neighbors. So glad I left it out of my top 15 in the summer game as I kept going back and forth between putting it in. Good numbers for Birds and CW

Disastrous? 9M OD means roughly 25M OW, finishing with 65M+, plus international, on a 35M budget. That's not disastrous. It's an expected steep drop from the first one, sure, but it's not a flop by any means.

Nah, it's not disastrous it's just another comedy sequel that nobody asked for. It's doing average business.

9m means like a 22m OW if it follows the firsts patterns, which wasn't a sequel so this could technically be even more front loaded. From there I doubt it clears 60. But yes the budget is small enough for it to be nearly impossible to lose money regardless of how poorly it does. Still terrible though for what the first did

The first Neighbors sucked so this isn't really surprising. Just a lot of lame, unfunny "gross out" frat humor + Seth Rogen yet again trying to wring laughs out of being a hairy schlub. Rose Byrne was the saving grace. 

 

I thought the first movie is more inspired by sketches rather than a full screenplay. Some of the jokes felt forced and some are downright unfunny. The DeNiro party is the best bit and the only one that is funny IMO. And I don't want to see Seth Rogen humping a honey like Rose Byrne. "Gluten? What gluten?"

I thought the first Neighbors was a pretty clever satire of fratboy movies. Unlike most of those where the adults were seen as just bad authority, Neighbors went out of its way to say that both the adults and the fratboys are equally terrible. The ending to Neighbors was really corny though.

 

From what I've heard the second movie makes a similar statement.

I wanted to go see The Nice Guys with the fiance and she shrugs saying she would rather prefer Neighbors 2...

 

I was like you are a doctor and shes like I don't give a shit snice she just put in a long shift...

 

Hopefully it's atleast as enjoyable as the first one...

Just when you think Civil War and Deadpool are killing cinema and lacking substance here come the Fruit Ninjas, Tetris and Candy Crush movies.

I thought that said 2.9 million for a second and was like dayum!

Let's hope Nice Guys is quite funny; didn't exactly get the laughs I was hoping for out of Neighbors 2.

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.

 

Where did you get the idea that it got an "incredible reception" at Cannes?  Its reception there was middling at best.

At least Civil War and Deadpool are good movies. Can't say the same for movies like the angry birds movie. 

[That One Girl]

I saw Neighbors 2 and honestly loved it.

 

But I'm also a massive Seth Rogen fan, so don't take my word for it.

 

Best scene was when they were stealing the weed from the sorority
