^^ whatever,  I remember Ouija 2 looked the same.  Supernatural horror bring in the masses after dark hours

The only kinda bright spot of Rings marketing was those set-up pranks, which was already done with Carrie anyway. Everything else look dire and dreadful (not the wanted kind). Reviews are hilarious though.

 

 

Oh well, go Hidden Firgures!

Scary Movie 5 is still a shitty movie. Rings is just slightly shittier. I don't plan on sitting through either one again. All I could think of through Rings was why is Vincent D'Onofrio and Johnny Galecki in this when they had way better things going on in their lives at the time (and I'm not even a TBBT fan.)

Any BOM veterans, your input in this thread would be wonderful. I'm trying to compile as much about the old BOM days as I can, since there are no archives.

IMDb message boards shutting down effective February 20, 2017

 

http://www.imdb.com/board/announcement

 

big news. IMDb was home to lots of discussions, some dating back to early 2000's

 

After in-depth discussion and examination, we have concluded that IMDb's message boards are no longer providing a positive, useful experience for the vast majority of our more than 250 million monthly users worldwide. 

 

Translation: Our message boards are the bridge under which some of the Internet's nastiest troll have gathered. We've never felt like providing any moderation and we're not starting now. So, we're burning down the bridge drive off the trolls. ?

I believe Hail Caesar also played old. Horror doesn't do that.

That's terrible for Rings.

 

6% on RT and its audience score is dropping like a meteorite.

 

By the way, how the hell is this Rings movie more expensive than Resident Evil The Final Chapter? Where did all that budget go?

 

Rings cost $25m, Resident Evil cost $40m. 

[kayumanggi]

Really good for HIDDEN FIGURES. Another good hold from SPLIT, too!

Were audiences just not smart enough to get Hail Caesar? I'm not saying it was great but it wasn't a fuckin' C- CinemaScore which is like an F basically. I finally saw it last week and I enjoyed it. I thought it was solid anyway.

If C- is an F, what about the films that get a D+, D or D- (like Drive) ?

LMAO Rings is gonna crash and burnnnn.

Like Bye Bye Man (75%) and Resident Evil (72%). 

 

I've decided to go and see Lego Batman tonight instead of Rings, I'll catch that during the week.

 

[GuardianDevil]

Yuck.

 

Rogue One and Doctor Strange should have just re expanded this weekend ala The Arrival and Passengers.

 

What a crap weekend.

 

Next weekend will be hot though.

[Krissykins]

We're back to 10 stickies on the box office forum again.

 

Can we not?
