How are the notifications showing up for you?

 

edit: you have "email notifications" turned off for "New Content for things I follow", Someone comments on something I follow", and "someone reviews something I follow". You also have "Automatically follow new content I post" and "Automatically follow content I reply to" turned on.

 

I switched your email notifications to just notifications but both both "automatically follow" boxes checked on. If you like, you can turn them off.

 

(This is all stuff you should be able to control and adjust, but if you're having trouble, I can turn it all off for you.)

 

Can you please? I've been trying to do so for a while now. I just got this thread re followed again after unfollowing. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Not at all, money is money. I just think that IF that's true we will see a big drop in box office as the general audience stays away or at least stays away from the OW. I think WOM though will bring the GA back and allow RO to have a really strong multiplier. I could be completely wrong, but we shall see how it's run goes. This also leads me to believe that if the next film is marketed well it will increase upon the second one. One thing is for sure though. For me I wish TFA and RO box office grosses were swapped regardless of what RO gets.

 

I guess you liked RO more than TFA?.

People always say SW is nerdy or people dismiss it saying it's for geeks.

 

Reality is any blockbuster whether it be TA or Fast 7 or some romantic comedy is actually less mainstream in NA compared to the 90 plus million admission TFA got ...

 

Sw7 appeals to a massive wide demo far bigger then a genre of movie (horro) or generic summer blockbusters like JW.

I feel you're in for disappointment. It's just a crappy one-line joke. I haven't even seen the movie, I just assumed that it happened.

 

For god's sake man take the likes!

Everyone is a nerd in some way. Its cool to be a nerd anyway.

Nerdom is very mainstream.

 

I think 90% of people I know are fans of some franchise.

Huh, so the two movies I was considering to predict for my #5 spot aren't on the shortlist (Sully and Star Trek). Wouldn't be surprised if Kubo was nominated.

I mean look how Trekkies used to be viewed years ago, now that Cossplay stuff and that level of nerdism is big business now.

Didn't get a lot of sleep last night, so probably will take a little nap before my RO showing tonight.

I also took until the end of its run to watch TFA. I plan to go again next week, which would be the first time since Jurassic World and Fast 7 I'll see a movie more than once and I liked Rogue One better than both. Take that for what you will.

I'm a casual movie fan that sometimes has odd tastes compared to most. That being said, it wasn't even a contest.. For me I felt TFA was a movie that just decided to slap the Star Wars name on it afterwards. I gave it a B. Rogue One is an A and on repeat viewings could go higher. Haven't been this pumped on a film since Catching Fire.

Any Hacksaw Ridge fans here? If yes, go visit the China thread, wow to the results there

 

If i read that right it could do over $40m there, which would be pretty great.

Nothing wrong with your tastes. I haven't seen RO yet but i have said for months that i wouldn't be surprised if RO is a better film than TFA.

Not going to see RO until maybe mid week next week. Prefer a more intimate setting even though that's not the norm.

Just got out of Rogue One, and to give a brief trailer report (credit to @jandrew for making me do this), the one that seemed to get the best response was Guardians 2. I was in an afternoon matinee with around 2/5s of the theater filled, but the laughs were still pretty strong, so I'm more or less predicting above $400M at this point. Anecdotal to be sure, but I've got a good hunch regardless. Outside of that, there were a couple of whispers at Cars 3 and Transformers, and the rest (Dunkirk, Mummy, Spider-Man, Space Between Us) were kinda silent, but keep in mind that the theater wasn't super packed, and I was at one of those theaters that serve gourmet food to the audience, so there were likely many stragglers focusing on ordering food than paying attention to the trailers.

I mentioned before but once dad can get out of the house we're going to see it.
