Is Blake lively an under the radar movie star? With the shallows and Age of  Adaline becoming decent hits I'm starting to think so. I mean Shallows is Basically marketed  as "Blake Lively fights with a shark."

 

To be fair, The Age of Adaline or The Shallows set the fire on box office, or anything like that. They just did well relative to their budgets.

Why are you all forgetting Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorthands???? 

Beetlejuice was 88

ID:R dom below 100m would be something. It's very surprising. Even on the high end doesn't look like it can go much above 105m.

Seeing that list of 90's movies makes me wish they would reboot The Addams Family. Family Values is still one of my favorite comedies. 

 

Both movies are hillarious.

22.8-23.8 Sunday needed for DORY to touch 75 after a 28-29 Sat.

23.2 + 28 + 23.8 (-15%) = 75

23.2 + 29 + 22.8 (-21.4%) = 75

And that's all that matters though. When you've got other movies coming out that aren't sequels and aren't performing well, it says something when one does perform well. You can't expect a film to set the box office on fire when it's not being released to do so. You also don't want it to fail either by putting it into too many theaters. Mid-budget films that produce decent box office returns are important so that Hollywood doesn't keep producing the same stuff all the damn time. Just my two cents though.

90s had good music and terrible movies. Most of them shouldn't even be rewatched let alone be remade into new movies. If you want to remake movies go back to movies from 60s and 70s.

For 15 years, after Toy Story 3 the only incredible quality we got was Inside Out. The rest wasn't even "good quality".

 

I don't necessarily share that same opinion, but agree to disagree. I enjoyed Brave, and TGD, and thought that MU was just good as MI (yeah a controversial opinion, but at least I know, I'm not the only person online who shares is). Same with Finding Dory.

Mrs Doubtfire deals with heavy topics and has a whole lot of sexual jokes/dialouge to be called a kid's film. Definitely not meant for under 8 or 9 at the very least. 

 

And I was too busy watching the classic 70's Charlotte's Web to be bothered with the mediocre Babe. 

 

Mrs. Doubtfire was also PG-13, especially back in 1993, so it was not undoubtedly a kids movie. It was probably not for kids, and was meant more for families / adults. I believe it also had a little swearing in it.

Good point. Hollywood does need to keep making more mid-budget films, and relative hits The Shallows will probably help.

Mrs. Doubtfire 

 

I love you Robin Williams. While it's harder to watch the movie now, it still brings joy seeing you at your best (IMO) on screen here.

[The Gotham Bank]

Is it just me or are horror movies a bit on the rise lately? The Witch, The Conjuring 2 and The Shallows in 6 months is no joke.

[The Stingray]

1970s >>> the rest

I completely agree with you that movies from the 90s shouldn't be remade or have unnecessary sequels. 

I also agree about music in the 90s. But I'm just going to ignore that terrible movies part.....It's hard but I'm going to give it my best shot.

Anyway how about not remaking movies from any time era period. How about coming up with original ideas and making new classics and franchises?
 

[MovieMan89]

The 90's in general was such a mixed bag of awesome and awful when it comes to all things pop culture.

1998 was sort of like 2014, where there were a number of solid earners but nothing broke out to monster numbers. Saving Private Ryan would have come in fourth in both 1997 and 1999, and third in both 1996 and 2000. 

 

1998 was a much, much bigger box office year than 2014, and it was the biggest year of the 1990s.

[Mojoguy]

Bleh. People are so bored of this weekend that they are actually talking about the 90s!

Yeah, but Titanic did inflate the year by half a billion.
