The very end was so unnecessary. But the movie was stupidly enjoyable. Then again, I thought the concept was very dumb from the trailer. McAvoy and Taylor-Joy were both very good. And it was well directed.

Silence's PTA jumped by 167% compared to last Friday. Makes me think it could have actually crawled to 10m+ if it had a slow and steady theater count increase, and Paramount did their homework and focused on the markets where it had the biggest chance of finding an appreciative audience. Instead they just blew their load completely with the ridiculous 1,500 theaters increase last weekend. 

 

There was a Fandango code released yesterday to get 2 free tickets.  I would have gotten them for me, but it was already out of my major metro, so I had to give my mom the free tickets.  That's probably why it jumped so much...no one actually paid to see it yesterday (or this weekend, since my mom's tickets were for today).

Has anyone shared the real Friday estimates yet? They're up on BOM:

A really impressive $7.9 million for Split.

When I saw it, it was in a sold out theater full of senior citizens. Same thing happened when I saw Lion the other week. Then again, I do live in God's Waiting Room.

Their appeal to senior citizens explains why these two movies are so popular with Academy voters, whose average age is in nursing home territory.

It's weird how Chinese members on this forum are almost starting a #Boycott The Great Wall campaign. Any reason for this? I'm with Han, it may be a stupid movie, but it looks so impressive visually that I need to check in cinemas.

 

The world building of the movie is great :

 

weapons & armors espcially, courtesy of Weta Workshop.

 

I had fun with The Great Wall, it s a decent time at the movies.

Let me tell you, you are not good at playing games, despite your claims.

 

Yes, actually, I am. I am one of the top Gears of War 4 horde players and regularly clear insane and hardcore. I've played 1,000+ hours of Destiny and have beaten every raid on the max difficulty many, many times. I didn't care to spend hours playing a fucking Resident Evil game where you start with 4 bullets and a baseball bat or whatever the hell it is. The games suck. If you're into that type of game, that's great, have fun. I'm not into that type of game at all. I love games like Deadspace, when it comes to survival horror, because it's just a lot creepier and the weapon design is a lot better. But a pistol with 4 bullets against a horde of zombies is absolutely idiotic. I much prefer a pure shooter, like Left 4 Dead, those games are amazing and you have unlimited pistol ammo. It's only the better weapons that you need to worry about ammo for, which is I think a great way to handle it. Gears 4 on insane has major ammo issues, but it's still doable. You can defend a crap game all you want but my friend and I have played hundreds of games and that one is among the worst of all time.

 

I was pleasantly surprised to see Rogue One's larger leap on Friday. I had the movie at $4.4M for the weekend, but if it clears $5M that should go a long way towards helping it beat TDK and end up around $540M. It just needs to keep up some good holds. I can't believe Gold will make less than Rogue One after all this time, wow, rough opening.

 

I still haven't seen Split and I'll try to fix that this week. I would at least like to know what the fuss is about. Every movie seemed to have some great increases on Friday, and Split's Friday take is downright impressive! I honestly thought that movie could be a $50-60M total domestic grosser when I first heard of it, but it's plowing along.

Is that Split $9m budget correct? Holy shit if so for Comcast/Universal. It's non stop profit over the last week and beyond.

The movie looks like it was shot in M Night's backyard, as 95% of Jason Blum s productions.

 

 

[Blaze Heatnix]

Resident Evil is at 63% according to top critics on RT...

 

It seems this is the best reviewed RE movie to date.

I don't know if Universal is just the distributor or they purchased rights for $ and a % but most of that money will probably be rolling toward Shamalyan.  He "self-financed Split for under $10 million to retain creative control".

I love the gamble especially given how low his stock was. Will pay off massively... gets to crow about that ROI once again.

Yeah, he self financed The Visit also.  Basically said he wanted complete control of his movies now.  He'll probably do the same for his next and so on.  It's paid off big time for him.  Kudos

[grey ghost]

So M. Night makes sure his films are profitable when he's the one footing the bill.

 

But when it's the studio's money it's flop city.

Well, you don't finance 130-150m movies ( Last Airbender, After Earth) from your own pocket.

 

 

[WrathOfHan]

Shyamalan said he's not done with big budget films forever, but he loves doing smaller budget stuff and says it gives him more satisfaction.

You could co-finance a 130 m movie.

 

M. Night could've invested 10%..
