That sound you hear is @CJohn flailing around in the theater. Heck, he barely made it through Mag 7 in one piece.

Yeesh, October looks bleak. Chance of no 30m opener. 

It still looks better than last October.

[Jake Gittes]

Last October had The Martian which alone was more exciting than all of this October's releases look combined.

Oh shut up. We all know you're there for the Thursday night showings of Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life, Ouija: Origin of Evil, and Boo! A Madea Halloween.

Why would Middle School open with 10M? It is a Lionsgate movie and it looks super unappealing/bad. 

It did well in trailer views, but that trailer was months ago.

Recent trailer views for the October and November movies have been pretty bad apart from Fantastic Beasts and Moana. The Dr Strange trailer from last week hasn't even cracked 1M views, FB has reached 6M and Moana reached 9M (which in itself is much lower than the almost 25M cumulative views from the first trailer)

@CJohn is flying all the way from Portugal next weekend just to see The Girl on the Train. His love for Haley Bennett knows no bounds.

No need. It opens here on Wednesday. Maybe we get some midnight Tuesday shows since Wednesday is a holiday. Probably not, tho

Looks like Magnificent 7 won't hit 100M. Will end the weekend 2M off the pace of Equalizer which barely got across the mark.

I just recently watched that movie. It was really good.  Damon was exceptional. Loved the bit of intrigue. Enjoyed it quite a bit.

At least Tele ain't stanning for The Girl on the Train.

[CJohn]

Fuck this weekend. Fuck the stupid high budgets. Fuck Lionsgate. Fuck Tele for cursing M7. Fuck everything. Everything is fucked.

He actually doesn't understand the appeal. ANOTHER SAUSAGE PARTY CONFIRMED! Big numbers coming. 30M OW assured. Everything is right again.

Different franchise. 

 

To be honest, what I really want to see is this:

 

Rank	Movie Title (click to view)	Studio	Total Gross / Theaters		Opening / Theaters		Open
1	The Dark Knight	WB	$533,345,358	4,366	$158,411,483	4,366	7/18/08
2	The Dark Knight Rises	WB	$448,139,099	4,404	$160,887,295	4,404	7/20/12
3	Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2	WB	$381,011,219	4,375	$169,189,427	4,375	7/15/11
4	American Sniper	WB	$350,126,372	3,885	$633,456	4	12/25/14
5	Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice	WB	$330,360,194	4,256	$166,007,347	4,242	3/25/16
6	Suicide Squad	WB	$318,940,629	4,255	$133,682,248	4,255	8/5/16
7	Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone	WB	$317,575,550	3,672	$90,294,621	3,672	11/16/01
8	The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey	WB (NL)	$303,003,568	4,100	$84,617,303	4,045	12/14/12
9	Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince	WB	$301,959,197	4,455	$77,835,727	4,325	7/15/09
10	Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1	WB	$295,983,305	4,125	$125,017,372	4,125	11/19/10

 

This is the Top 10 all-time domestic for WB. With how BvS and SS have done, by January 2018 there's a good shot that DC movies will account for 6/10 of this list with Wonder Woman and Justice League sliding in. If the DC Films releases were to retain consistency or increase (no matter how minor), we're looking at 8/10 being DC movies by January 2019. Which would be a hilariously amazing sight. Knocking Deathly Hallows 2 and American Sniper out of the chart is unfortunately astoundingly difficult to get a clean 10/10 sweep.

WB movies competing with each other? You DC fans are ruthless, lol.

Of course he doesn't. He's a manly man who would never be caught watching a movie with the word "Girl" in the title.

All Tele wants are shitty Statham action movies every weekend and superhero movies with beams in the sky.
