MEH-MORIAL DAY WEEKEND BOX OFFICE | Abandon all hope, the box office is dead. 3 day weekend #s X-Men 65M, Alice 28.1M, Angry Birds 18.7M, Civil War 15.1M, Neighbors 9.1M. Bad openings, horrible holdovers.

I know the comparison is sort of eye rolly but really more than any other movie I've seen this decade gone girl felt like the type of trashy shit Hitchcock would've loved to have fun with if he was still kicking it today. While still feeling distinctly fincher of course.

I was waaaaaay off with 68mil prediction for X-Men, but it seems like I was spot-on with 39mil for Alice 2!

So is The Girl on a Train trailer supposed to be great or something? Looked kinda limp to me.

Stoker too IIRC (need to give it a rewatch)

GONE GIRL has its problems and the book is better but it's so rare nowadays for a studio to give a great filmmaker a big budget for an adult movie and let him go wild. It reminded me of BASIC INSTINCT in that regard.

Gone Girl adjusted is 173 million.

 

More reasons for Girl on the Train to break out

I think everyone's just so beaten down with all the Zimmery, grey, "epic" trailers that anything decent-looking that's distinct gets extra love

Source tells me FRI heading to area of $30M for #XMenApocalypse. 3day & 4day #MemorialDayWeekend would be roughly $75M & $90M.

Going to see x men in half an hour. Does it have a post credit scene? Anything worth it?

The original Pirates of the Caribbean is one of my favorite blockbusters. The sequels sucked. I no longer have any interest in the series.

 

Loved the first

 

liked the second

 

disliked the third

 

Was indifferent to the 4th

 

Mildly interested in the 5th

Did he direct the concert special? I thought he only directed the actual music video for "Express Yourself" (as well as "Vogue")...

RunPee is an app that actually shows what movies have end credits scenes and how long the credits roll for.  Apparently, there is one after the end credits, and the credits run for 8 1/2 minutes.

 

It also has times when it's okay to take a bathroom break in the movie, and gives you a vibration when it's happening (you start a timer when it tells you too).  While you're in the bathroom, you can also read a brief summary on what's going on.

 

It's actually a really handy app.

Is the data for the app available on day one?

They usually see it at the first showtime available (basically meaning on Thursday night) and multiple people go to different showings for different movies.

Oh, it doesn't disturb other people, trust me.  It's only a vibration, no sound or anything.  I think it's actually really handy.  It saved my life a couple times when I had to use the bathroom really badly during a movie.
