Can a Mod open the Ghostbusters thread? 

 

Reviews hit in an hour and a half but there are already some online (Den of Geek, Village Voice).

 

Plus I'm seeing it tomorrow and want to discuss.

Where is Den of Geek's review? I see Village Voice's but theirs is not on their website yet. Maybe they accidentally jumped the gun.

This whole mentality of "they make money and they're popular so stay mad haterzzzz ;)" needs to stop. This why the cringe-worthy Jennifer Lawrence became the #1 actress of our time, and why Kim Kardashian is probably the most famous woman right now. We allowed it to happen. It's ok to question, complain and even hate. In fact it's necessary. 

 

 

 

Why? If movies were considered a democracy, then the public is clearly voting their preferences with their wallet.  If you want to be elitest and say the masses are too dumb to have movies tailored to them and be the vocal minority, that's your right.  However, someone pointing out that you are essentially a fringe element and outside the norm doesn't need to be silenced.  Unless you want to hold your protest in isolation, you are going to have to accept people pointing out the obvious. You need to adjust your position to address this point, not dismiss such an obvious argument that movies are simply reflecting public tastes.  If 100 people see a piece of art, 5 people thing it's engaging and brilliant, 95 people think it is boring and stupid, does the education or status of the minority group suddenly counteract majority opinion?

Top10 all-time July openings were all from sequels. Until #SecretLifeOfPets came along. Ranks #6 on that list just behind Minions.

Wow. What an opening. Didn't expect it to top Inside Out's OW.

For how short the review was?

 

Movie was mediocre, but not going to let it scar me.

It would've been awe-inspiring for a non-sequel to barely break into the July Top 10 OW. To place halfway on the list is just nutso.

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Amazing opening for Pets. Guessing it ends up around Zootopia.

[grim22]

Tarzan beat Dory for the weekend? (At least in estimates). That is truly an upset for the ages. Tarzan doing on weekend 2 what many thought it would open to.

I was rooting for IA5 but each teaser/trailer/clip has reduced interest exponentially. Looks like it's gonna compete for and win the most the unnecessary sequel of the year title.

I'm pretty sure IDR already has that one wrapped up.

I think the most insane aspect of Pet's opening is its Saturday drop. That's over a 10% increase from Friday minus previews. That's mind boggling.

[CJohn]

The Conjuring seems to be locked for the 100M, which means I won't leave the forums.

Television has been great for 60-70 years.

That's gonna be Spectre like if they try to go for that.

[mahnamahna]

Pets is doing great. $300 million+ DOM after Dory is a big success for Illumination. 

 

Tarzan just might get a 3x from its 4-day opening. I wouldn't have expected Tarzan to be stronger than IDR, Alice 2 or TMNT 2 back in May. 

 

Dory still on pace for $475-505 million DOM. A solid run. 

 

Purge 3 on pace for $75-80 million, IDR and Conjuring 2 on the way to $100-110 million, Central Intelligence legging its way to $130-145 million.

No one thought it would be close. I wonder what actuals will be.

Dory could go up to $21 million if Friday ended up being a little stronger. 

 

Then again, Tarzan might, too! 

 

This weekend is all around solid.

Too far away. Unless they just take money from Pets and Bourne it won't get there.

 

Who here had Tarzan over Independence Day 2? I'm genuinely shocked, in a good way, by its performance. Always nice to see a movie literally everyone had written off have a good box office run.
