Stupid fish with a terrific hold.

[FilmBuff]

People give it grief, but the fact CW grossed 400 mil is impressive considering this summer has been shitty. Cept for Dory.

Same would have probably been said about ID:R not too long ago, though. Not sure OS can be counted on to save suck-fests as much as it once did. 

After all, being foreign doesn't impare people's ability to recognize when soemthing is aweful.

That's true but I'm also basing it on the fact that the past Transformers films have done really well OS. But I think thinks could be changing for the better and I hope by next summer all these stupid films keep bombing so we actually get good movies.

I'm so glad this is happening. Studio execs are already rethinking some things. Hell, they may have canceled Pitch Perfect 3 because of it. 

 

They'll find some other way to avoid being original, of course, but less unnecessary sequels is a good thing. 

 

I really hope Ghostbusters bombs.

only by those with unrealistic expectations matter of fact it's higher than my derby predict....

[La Binoche]

I don't want Ghostbusters to bomb because I want Paul Feig to retain his power in the industry.

[narniadis]

I'm not feeling the Ghostbusters bombage, but then again I didn't sniff the ID2 whiff until the week off.....

[Ocho]

Dory will continue its run to 500 with great weekdays....

[FilmBuff]

Ghostbusters even if it's a 'good' film is going to get shitted on by the GA. They're not even giving it s chance!

All decades have good and bad films. About the music, the 90s were the harbinger of doom. It was the start of talentless rappers and their fuckawful "music" having consistent major success, and Britney Spears not only getting a record contract but eventually racking up two RIAA certified Diamond albums was the death knell which proved that there were no standards left among record execs or record buyers.

Just finished watching the first episode of Vikings. I really dig it. Also, fuck Dory. It's a shame this bland as fuck, stupid animation is the one breaking out this Summer.

Yup the highest grossing summer movie outside Dory and CW was Apocalypse with only 150 m. 

 

Which is no where close to 400 m.

I'm not either. 

I've heard tracking is at $40-50 million and fully expect critics to go easy on it. I think it will do fine.

He's not wrong
