Low end takes it to $98M-$100M. High end takes it to $108M-$112M. Jesus...

Refn probably thinks he is hot shit but all of his films have actually basic violence that any 13(11) yo could come up with.

 

And in 2016, some people call guys life Refn talented because he is so out there you know, so different, so uncompromising.

 

Oh, and his vision of sexuality, yeah definitely a teenager.

 

 

you've said this a bunch before. i think you have one stock line for every filmmaker that you like to whip out whenever they come up. i can't imagine what it must be like to be this boring.

Enjoy the drive in @Blanks McCoy

Not surprised that Deadline got the early guess wrong for Pets.  RTH's numbers make much more sense.  If it does hit 40, 100 is done.

40

40

30

110 OW

 

Neon demon is either the best film of the year so far or at least the second best.  Refn gives 0 fucks how people feel about his decisions and his vision.  For those of us who have seen it, we have talked quite a bit about it.  It stays with you.  It's brilliance is real.  That film hasn't left my head since I saw it last week.

Holy crap the high end is really close to Minions' OD! How is Dory doing?

about 6-7

[The Futurist]

Illumination movies are more mature tha any Refn s output.

 

Drive was definitely an accident.

 

Refn shoud stick to do commercials for mega corporations, his vulgarity & vapid quest for the beautiful shot or sequence would suit perfectly  this empty world.

This is a very misinformed and silly statement,  I don't think there's a lot in ND that a 13 year old could come up with and even if they did, they wouldn't present it in the same way he did in ND.  It's an absolutely stunning film....imo.

I seriously think going from Sharknado 2 to IDR was a step in the wrong directon for Vivica A. Fox's career.
