 I'm ignoring the imdb rating for now lol. That message board and site is full of racist trolls. There was a point when like 17% of the ratings were  one ugh. Happy it's gone up though, I guess with real people who have actually seen the film voting! 

People were really down-voting HiddenFigures on IMDB, seriously?

 

Some people don't even feel the need to try to hide their racism anymore, that's just a sad state of affairs. 2017 is gonna be a bumpy ride.

Avengers Infinity War starts shooting on Feb 28th here in Glasgow Scotland 

 

6 month shoot between here, Edinburgh and highlands. Can't wait, it was fun to walk through set of World War Z.

A movie about black womens contributions to NASA that was previously very unknown is "trendy" kkk 

 

 

Yes, a movie showing how great black women are is trendy, appealing to the current wave of social justice obsessed idiots.

Well that RO number is atrocious lol (for SW standards), although Sing didn't fare much better. $21.5 million is a few million below even the most pessimistic predictions (I know, weather, but still...)

Is it not because of last week having very inflated numbers?

Week numbers were inflated, but the WE was deflated actually, due to New Year's Eve, so the drop is even worse because of that.

Yeah the things people say about world of warcraft players are very true

If anything, its numbers were deflated due to New Year's Eve on Saturday to Sunday. Party planning, buying and all of that.

 

But honestly, I think next week's numbers, assuming the snowstorm will have passed by then, will be either flat or increased. Again, snowstorm + New Year's combo of the last few weeks = a lot of people not going to the movies, and a lot of people wanting to not miss out.

who would want to go inside and watch films on a rainy/snowy day!

Exactly! That's why no movies are released during summer, because everybody's outside barbecuing, camping etc.

Yeah clearly there are way too many movies celebrating black women in the STEM field.

Um if the movie is well made and has a moral point that is based on historical fact then made up nonsense...that is to be encouraged regardless of political affiliation ...

Basically if you're anything but a straight white male, you're considered bad and deserve to be shunned on IMDB. Dark days.

Fences seems to be falling hard. Obviously the snow affected it but I wonder how the legs for that movie will be?

lol imdb has had something against this film since the first trailer. It seems the rating is rising though now that real people are voting to balance all the trolls. Like obviously not everyone has to like the film but some their resentment is very strange

I think Hidden Figures kinda took some of the attention away and it turned out to be more frontloaded than expected. Either way, it's looking to be Denzel's lowest-grossing film since The Great Debaters almost 10 years ago.

i saw it with my family on boxing day. I loved it but my mom and brother thought it was boring (and my mom hated Troy). My dad liked it though. I wonder if others have a similar sentiment? I don't generally trust my mom's taste because she finds a lot of "oscar" movies boring. 

[WrathOfHan]

Fences is still performing very well by me. I'd say it's been selling on par with Underworld.
