I'm about to create a crazy new club, ya'll better join it.

Also, lower than what I expected for Lego Batman, but still great.

Have any of the IMdB trolls descended on the forums yet?

 

Can the mods get them to sign an agreement before they can post? 

 

 

Maybe we should have an "IMDB refugee" subforum to contain the spread.

I think we should put a wall up to prevent the illegal refugees from the Internet Movie Database coming through our site and we should get world of KJ to pay for it.

yeah, hopefully this will quell the Ninjago breakout talks.... 100m would already be huge for the type of film that it is.

 

Dammit, I could made bank in the casino.

 

So many were overpredicting it.

Holy hell that's a good number for John Wick.

What about Lego Movie Sequel? Should we expect a HTTYD2 type scenario ($180M-$220M)? Or will increase ($260M-$300M) or stay flat?

 

I think it will most definitely decrease. You definitely can't say "novelty" factor considering there will have been 2 more Lego movies since then - and the only novelty character was Batman. Who is itching to see Emmitt again?

 

It'll definitely drop imo.

One thing I have to say about the Lego movies: they have to stop trying so hard. All 3: LM, LB, and LN have been really forcing the jokes. Just speaking from my personal tastes, I want the humor to be more organic and natural. I remember @WrathOfHan saying most of the jokes didn't land when he saw Lego Bat, and I'm not surprised.

 

I don't think this will have a big effect on the franchise, just me personally, it's a bit annoying and makes the characters come off as such.

Why not use extreme vetting?

 

All you do is bash the imdb forums non-stop. Anyone who sticks their neck out to defend it is denied entry. 

 

Simple.

Just create a database of the users you suspect that came from IMDb

The humour works but I do think it's a little rapid fire, Storks the previous WAG film had tons of gags but not at the rate Lego Batman had

John Wick 2 had a higher OD than Kingsman.

So the style of the humor is basically a 2 hour version of Looney Tunes

we welcome them to box-office lore!

It works initially but then I quickly grow tired of it. For instance when I first saw the Ninjago trailer I was like "wow, this is pretty cool, lol, should be a hit." Upon second watch I was ready for it to end and was no longer impressed (the animation aside). I don't like that they tell jokes during the scene, then pause the scene to tell more jokes. 

 

Again, I know many people like this and I'm sure kids don't care, just me personally, I prefer the more subtle humor like Zootopia and Moana, or even saturday morning cartoon humor like Hotel Trans. The way Lego has been doing it is just too ham fisted for my liking. Instead of just letting the script flow, it's obvious the writers are analyzing it, trying to put joke A here and joke B there, and trying to be edgy with it. 

 

That's just me.
