because you have seen her mention pizza this year - or last - and not from a gif from years ago repeated and repeated and repeated because media seems to get so much click attention on anything related to her that they ignore other news?  (And PS, how many other celebrities are doing the exact same thing without media caring?)

 

Blame media for their single actress fixation. 

 

And, I disagree on the 'public tiring' bit in any event  since she still does so well with the statistically predictive real life polls. 

 

No one can say how the movie would do without her.

 

It is the second best opening Fox ever had in China.  If you are going to pin any lower box office on her, surely it is only consistent to attribute the $400 + million it got world wide in 10 days to her as well?

If you're a film buff this article ought to offer a glimmer of hope for the industry

Uh...how so?

 

The analysis is incredibly moronic.

 

Studios now think "it's a sequel, so people will fear it" ignores the fact that it is the studios that are allowing shitty movies to be made and thus are deserving of their fate. 

 

No one is turning up to Neighbours 2 because it's shit not because it has a 2 behind it. And, people can tell from the trailers that it's shit. 

 

Something like Popstar may be reviewed well, but look at it's marketing? Lonely Island are five years too late, and even then, have such shitty production values, why would you bother watching it?

That's some piss poor numbers for Turtles. Probably won't be a third film at this rate.

 

Alice and X-Men dropping hard from their already underwhelming openings. Ouch.

 

Go Zootopia!

Well, if I'm tired of it, that must mean everyone else is too. Obviously.

No series that had a second installment this year will have a third installment. (Unless you count the DCCU)

THis is a perfect example u set of a critic being negative biased before he even reviews a movie. How someone expects this guy to review a fantasy or sci-fi movie objectively?

Fantasy and sci-fi are movie genre and there good and bad movies in this area, not everything is bad.

 

There is 1 reason why i love China's rise,we will see more of thoise movies wether a certain amount of critics with agendas loves them or not.I loved Pacific RIm..but lets be honest there wouldnt be any Pacific Rim 2 if it wasnt for the rise of Chinese market.THey expect to make even more money than last time there

Is Pacific Rim 2 even happening? Last I heard it was cancelled. Same thing with The Expendables 4, they mentioned it was going ahead with China financiers, then there is no news for months.

Pacific RIm 2 is happening 100%

Last thing I heard about it was that Universal moved it out of its release slot to make room for Pitch Perfect 3. And now THAT'S delayed.

 

I don't think PR2 will ever make it past the planning stages.

Uh, wut? Why do you get the sense that the author of the Variety piece has an unfair bias against your favorite movie?

And I don't know why you like China for its audiences who buy tickets to movies with bad TomatoMeters. You realize that the general audience everywhere doesn't follow critics religiously, right?
