Logan is actually doing better in my theater while Kong is behind with Logan at 15 million while Kong 13 million.

Logan only did 7-8M here, but Kong was huge; 22.5-23M today

How so?

 

Magneto's parents were victims of the holocaust.

 

Malcolm X's parents were victims of white supremacy.

 

Magneto wanted to keep mutants seperate and claim supremacy.

 

Ditto for Malcolm X.

 

Does every detail of Malcolm X's life need to be reflected in the comics for the allegory to stay relevant and thought provoking?

 

Not really.

 

 

lmao you basically proved my point. you obviously don't know anything about him. It's like the most superficial comparison. Actually the MLK comparison is very superficial as well.

It is, however, a well known fact that MLK headed a highly trained paramilitary unit with fantastical abilities.

Thank you so much for this. I've actually been contemplating what I should do since it happened but I'm definitely going to do what you recommended and think this through. Paying it forward is something to think about and even if it's not in the same way as before (a donation) I'll definitely do something. I'm definitely thinking it over though now so I appreciate you taking the time to write this out. It's always nice to get another person's perspective...not for influence or anything but to give me a chance to actually think things over. 

 

I guess it's just bizarre to me how the world works sometimes and that's where a lot of my shock came from.

 

Think forward to your death bed.

 

What moments will be your proudest?

 

I guarantee it will be what you gave, not what you recieved.

 

Ultimately 500 here and there is cool but realizing karma is probably real is a lesson worth more than gold.

 

Some poor, unfortunate souls never figure it out.

I know one of my proudest moments will be the time Rth liked one of my posts.

How did I prove your point?

 

What did I say that was inaccurate.

 

Enough vague, condescending bullshit.

Some of these ads for Logan (esp on the radio when I'm driving my car) are way over the top... "redefining the superhero genre." "Could be nominated for an award." Take it easy guys, $10m 2nd Friday isn't good.

Logan is performing like an X-Men movie. Par for the course.

Using dollars as a benchmark, SS was a great comic book film

Do you seriously think Avatar and The Avengers are among the best movies ever?  Come on now.

I can see why some people consider it the best of the genre.

 

It hits nerve endings that no superhero movie even attempts to hit.

 

And the action-humor-tragedy combo is a master chef level entree of mythical goodness. 

 

It may not be as uniformly praised but it's destined to be a cult classic of the highest order.

 

Dredd, in fact, would make for an excellent double feature.

You know I don't, my point is the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Okay, if 10m Friday/35 Weekend happens, Logan will likely end somewhere between 200-230m.  Thats somewhere in the middle, especially for an R-rated movie.

We've had no numbers for almost 11 hours(midday West Coast).  The Friday numbers we have could be +/- 15% by now.

Deadline late-nights were released around this time last weekend. Should be coming pretty soon by now.
