well good for it holding that well on Sunday!!!  I am not trying to be a Troll or anything, but I am disappointed with the opening weekend box office for Rogue One.  I had it at 200.66.  If Avengers and Jurassic World can, shouldnt Rogue One too???  I thought Star Wars transcended December.  I do not need any analysis of why TFA opened so high, i have read it all.  Just from a box office Star Wars die hard POV  I am disappointed, that is all!

The Lion King was basically the event to end all events for animated films.

For you Star Wars fans, T2 was directed by the same man who brought us Avatar, Titanic, True Lies, The Abyss, Aliens and The Terminator.

 

ok.

With a 41 mil Sunday, TDK OW could be in trouble...

T2 was an event when it came out. 

Only in the pop culture sense (i.e. it resonated in a huge way with those who saw it). It wasn't a box office event however. 50m admissions is indeed far too measly for that.

As if we didn't know...

Though in T2's defense, there weren't as many 50m admissions back then and the population was much smaller.

Oh, great. I love the winter time...when Avatar comes back into relevance because of certain people.

You mean the 75 million+ domestically alone who made it an event?

Frozen's admissions are laughably low in the history of all time stats at the box office (The Incredibles beats it lmao). If you think it was a box office event then you are lost. 

 

If you can't recognize that Frozen was a global monster on all fronts than you're the one who's lost.

For a Rated R movie in the PG-13 era? It was a big deal. Guns N' Roses was arguably the biggest band on the planet at the time and chose T2 as a movie tie-in for their lead single "You Could Be Mine" for the Use Your Illusion albums that opened at #1 and #2 simultaneously (never done before or since) in the fall of 1991. If a band that huge saw value in T2 as a promotional vehicle, then T2 was a pretty damn big deal in its own time.

It is OK. I did it for Dunkirk. It was all for Nolan in the end

Oh, think you that's what I'm talking about?!?!

 

Not you thinking I was coming for you because you've been dragged to hell and back already.

 

 

Bitch! I'm not arguing it wasn't an event.

 

I'm shading IronJimbo and peeps for being extra as hell and funny in the process.

 

They always be bringing it up and defending it when it's impact and success speaks for itself.
