The helmets in the trailer seem more reminiscent of WWI. I saw an explanation that the British had not updated their helmets until after, so perhaps that's why.

 

Glad to see you around lately E 

Ah ok. Yeah the helmets. Thanks Mr. Pink glad to see you're still your Nolan loving self.

Any meltdowns yet? Personally nothing has ever touched the Catching Fire OW thread. That thing was a roller coaster. 

First thread where I visited the forum.

DC's first three movies are all gonna land in the same 290-330 range. With budget control none of those would have to be disappointments...

 

I started a Charles Foster Kane standing ovation for Nine Lives tonight. The rest of the theater joined. It was nuts, but not as nuts as the movie.

"Man of Steel" 116M Opening Weekend = Broke the June OW Record
"BatmanVSuperman" 166M Opening Weekend = Broke March OW Record
"Suicide Squad" 120+ = Will Break the August OW Record


3 Films, 3 100+ M OW, 3 Broke Records

 

[boomboom234]

Anecdotal I know but looking at the local reserved seat theater almost all the showings are already 90+ % full already 

[filmlover]

I just that the average for Nine Lives is a 1.6/10 on RT.

How many good films would DC need to turn the tide and become a trusted brand like Marvel or Pixar in terms of quality?

At this point, even a film considered half-decent would probably suffice. Which is a shame really.

That's a real doozy of a first thread.

 

The NFL derailment was incredible. I might have peed a little.

~65 pretty much assures 140+ ow

Movies don't show a drop usually from true Fri.

Even if it shows a marginal drop, it can get close to 140.

20.5 + 44.5 + 43 + 32 = 140

Eh, if WW turns out to be well-received, I think things could change for the brand as long as they keep the quality under control, although I have serious doubts about that.

The age of ultron saturday thread with the fight was magic as well

One

 

Seriously, they've already got a blind following, so their first good film would pretty much ensure their next three films after that turn a profit

I hope that is right but I would rather think less and be happy it is better.  TMobile tickets were today.  I want to see tomorrow before I relax into that sort of a number.  I'm figuring above 120M which would be very good, and anything better is gravy.

today was also the opening ceremony so that may balance out

Why were Britain and France so under-equipped at the start of the war?  Its like they didn't notice their next door neighbor was building a giant war machine and annexing border territories/countries throughout the 1930s.   Noobs. 

 

 

Don't know about France but Britain was desperately trying to work out a deal with Germany. I think they called it appeasement. Anyway, they didn't want to go to War. That was prior to Churchill taking over as prime minister.

The Sat number will show how big if any of an impact T-Mobile vouchers were on Friday.

To be fair, it's not just a DC/comic book fan thing to latch onto a filmmaker after they make one good film
