Then I sure hope you have a loop of their past movies going in your head because they're both terrible in this film. I was especially disappointed with how little Monroe had to do after her solid work in the still-underrated It Follows.

 

Monroe is hot and  I hear Goldblum is a saving grace. That giant alien is also kind of cool looking 

[Dementeleus]

I think Fox marketed this as best they could. All the cool-lookin' shit is front and center. So are the better jokes. They had TV spots on major networks during major programming. They have web-ads blanketing popular sites. What else are they supposed to do?

Yeah but I do think Will Smith was back and was basically paired with Goldblum the whole movie that automatically would cause more interest in it

Is Monroe a natural blonde?

 

I have a thing for sunflowers (brown eyes with blonde hair).

The general audience is gaining a spidey-sense where they can smell a turd a mile away.

Yeah, but from a studio perspective, that's easier said than done. They hired the original creative team and let them do their thing. It didn't work out.

Maybe, some would argue that they could have hyped the nostalgia angle. I do wonder, though, about the power of marketing in general. A lot of people talk about marketing being good and selling the movie. But, I wonder if what they ascribe to marketing is actually the stuff of the movie itself. One economist opined that no amount of marketing hype or star power could alter the fact that the audience is what makes a hit and the movie is the real star of the show.

Deadline should be out with in an hour, hopefully with slightly less fucked up projections and estimates

My sister wants to see Independence Day: Resurgence while I rather see Finding Dory or The Shallows, but my godmomma is trying to convince to me to go see ID:R.

 

[filmlover]

lol we're actually reconsidering our plans of seeing Independence Day. No use in losing $24 for a movie we likely won't enjoy and don't really have too much of a vested interest in seeing.

Really don't quote me on this as my math can be shaky, but The Shallows looks like it might be going $6m+ on Friday.

On the same token of don't quote me because math can be shaky, but Independence Day might be closer to $15m or $16m.
