Eva is incredible in it. I don't care for the show outside of her character but she really goes for it. 

 

I love that she always put forth the best effort in everything she's in, no matter how shitty the material is lol.

 

And her ability to ham it up is one of the best among actresses right now. I really hope she'll pick better projects in the future.

did anyone notice when the blond girl's eyes were digitally enlarged in one brief sequence?

[JohnnyGossamer]

This seems to be performing well enough. Thinking with OS it at least breaks even. Good job Burton and Co... Even though I hated it.

[ddddeeee]

$196.8M WW.

 

Going to be a modest success - Burton needed one.

 

Yay for Eva.

[Arlborn]

Pretty happy about its modest success. Best Burton in years, I hope he builds up from here.

Tim Burton combined with a weird/fantasy movie still sells very well in these days.

I will believe that happens with him directing when I see it.

I think it will, especially after The Jungle Book.

 

Hopefully Eva is cast as Dumbo.

Is there any news if the sequel is a go?

I'd be very surprised about it as I don't think the gross would justifty it, sadly.

 

Also, wouldn't that have way too little of Eva Green then? They'd probably change that I suppose...

You're a genius

This is actually turning a profit now thanks to the OS gross so a sequel may happen, with or without Burton.

I hope so but I think it needs at least 300m WW for that. Do you think it gets it?

I thought the first two acts or so of this were surprisingly well done and carried a nice intriguing heft that left me genuinely invested. Unfortunately the third act was a real letdown for me, as it devolved into very juvenile, generic territory. I honestly was mildly reminded of the Disney Chanel movies I used to watch as a kid with that act. But this would still be Burton's best since Sweeney Todd, despite the underwhelming finish.

Probably got around $60m or so left in the tank, so I think it will just fall short. Still a decent showing for a YA movie that's not Twilight or HG.

I prefer Hollow City to Miss Peregrine so I'd be all for seeing it.

 

They'd save some money with no Burton, SLJ, Dench or (spoilers for Hollow City)

Green

either.

 

At the same time, they seem to have went out of their way to make the movie quite closed at the end, as opposed to the book which is jarringly open-ended. There hasn't been much talk of a sequel either.

Yeah, I also preferred the second book but you are right, I don't see a sequel happening either.

I had low expectations but it was better than I expected. I also thought it was better than the first book. The movie's third act was disappointing, but imo it was better than the book's third act. Haven't read the second book, though.
