Bitch please, I saw it in 3D when it got rereleased

I went back to the same theatre I went to last night to see a special screening of Chicago, and I heard several workers say that The Secret Life of Pets had sold out throughout the entire afternoon through that point.

The power of Margot Robbie's accent

 

Oh there's this great joke about Christoph Waltz and his priest with that accent.

Illumination has nice advertising. Their films are strictly mediocre, though. They're basically making Blue Sky movies in terms of budget and blandness but doing old DWA numbers with them. Impressive, business-wise, but not really encouraging to watch.

You are acting like The Good Dinosaur wasn't a failure.

AWFUL.

 

That joke did not work at all. And the movie just gets brutally cut after it to another scene at the dinner table.

Does the priest joke work any better in context because the more I hear about it the more baffled I get.

One of my Facebook friends is seeing Tarzan today. Says he's heard nothing but great reviews. 

[somebody85]

Wow, huge for Pets! That's actually about where I expected Dory. 

[UrosepsisFace]

The priest joke doesn't work at all. Its only effect was probably lowering the RT score by a percent or five. 

[Water Bottle]

I liked the priest joke.

[vc2002]

Get ready for a stream of pro-robot and pro-giant propaganda.

 

Tele Jr should take over now. Everyone will wonder why you're banning everyone who bashes Transformers.

It is one of the most boring blockbusters I have ever seen. It also is the first time I say this from a movie but I have to: they literally took out the color from this movie. It is all grey and dark. Jesus.

He uses super weird camera angles too for no reason. The whole movie is very dull. It is incredible how anyone thought throwing 180M into this was a good idea.

If a movie makes money, it is a good idea. And by the looks of it, LOT will end up making WB money. It will most likely break-even theatrical (or just below break-even) and the ancillaries will carry it from there. Literally no one expected it to do as well as it has been doing. I'm sure WB had the write-down on it all ready to go before it just seemed to catch on for some reason.
