Love & Friendship is the best movie of the summer so far. Everything else can piss off!

The ending

 

 

retcons the first movie completely

 

Character motivations make literally no sense and the extent of everything being manipulated is ridiculous.

 

The magic set pieces, especially the heist, are very well done and the heist scene has some cool camerawork involving cards. But the whole scene is essentially

 

rendered completely useless to the narrative by the end

 

Woody Harrelson has fun in

 

a double role playing his own twin

 

The cast is good, but seriously the narrative makes little sense when you think about it even a bit.

Omg I can't wait to see how much nonsense the ending brings to the table.

You are in full troll mode this weekend. 

Maybe we should try to get Blankcraft to join in with Panda and Tree.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Neither openers may open above what Ninja Turtles 2 opened to last weekend.

I've never seen NYSM. All I know is two living, breathing friends separately called it "one of the worst movies I've ever seen".

Fuck fuck! Another fail. LOL, so there's a bar about half a kilometer from my place and I can hear the people screaming in despair

THR

 

New Line's horror sequel The Conjuring 2 is scaring off the competition at the Friday box office, where it's pacing ahead of Legendary and Universal's big-budget video game adaptation Warcraft, according to early returns.

Weekend estimates for Conjuring 2 vary from $33 million to as high as $37 million from 3,343 theaters, while the range for Warcraft is anywhere from $25 million-$31 million from 3,400 locations, a mediocre showing considering its net budget of $160 million.

 

Friday's estimated haul of $13.5 million-$16 million includes $3.4 million in Thursday-night grosses, surpassing the $3.3 million earned by The Conjuring in July 2013. The 2013 title was a formidable force, debuting to $41.8 million domestically on its way to a worldwide total of $318 million.

Warcraft is tipped to take in $11 million-$13 million on Friday, including $3.1 million in Thursday-night previews. Directed by Duncan Jones and starring Travis Fimmel and Paula Patton, Warcraft follows orc warriors looking for a new home for the peaceful inhabitants of Azeroth, who are threatened by the invaders.

The big question is whether director Jon M. Chu's Now You See Me 2 can work magic and beat Warcraft. Early estimates have the sequel grossing $8 million-$9 million on Friday for a weekend tally of $24 million-$26 million from 3,232 theaters.

You should watch it just to see a movie end on a truly WTF note. Like the filmmakers literally pulled the twist out of their asses and said why not.

[baumer]

1 p.m. Los Angeles time estimates are absolutely useless. You simply cannot extrapolate what if film is going to do for the rest of the day and the evening. I don't care what data they think they have the estimates that usually come out at this time of day are categorically wrong LOL

Yeah, the tickets are given a value (significantly lower than a standard ticket) and that value is reported to the distributors and then cut back to the cinema; but it's a value that the customer doesn't have to pay.

 

So, e.g. at the cinema I worked at:

 

From internal point of view:

Adult ticket: £10. Customer is charged full £10, is reported as £10 revenue.

Child ticket: £6. Customer is charged full £6, is reported as £6 revenue.

Unlimited ticket: £3. Customer is charged £0, is reported as £3 revenue.

 

And then the cut the cinema gets is taken from the overall revenues. So if the distributor takes 2/3 of revenue, then for every Unlimited ticket booked, the customer pays £0, the distributor gets £2. The customer just pays their £17 monthly subscription, which goes straight into the cinema's pocket.

Oh, @Telemachos it's also worth mentioning that the internal price of a ticket is negotiated with by the distributor. Generally the cinema has pretty much free reign to price tickets how they like, but with these, distributors have more control. E.g. at my cinema, Unlimited tickets for Sony movies were £4.50, while Warner Bros and Disney were lower at £3. Think there was one that was lower, but it was generally £3-4.

 

Thanks for explaining this, Tree. It makes sense.

I might just read the Wiki when I'm on the bowl later.

[baumer]

so there are Orcs in Warcraft. Does that mean it is a direct descendants of Lord of the Rings?
