@WrathOfHan how was it?

[Noctis]

I just came back from Kong. It's a decent, enjoyable time at the theater and the monster battles were fantastic. But everything else was meh. I know it's focused on the monsters but man, some of the soundtrack annoyed me like crazy. 

 

B-/B

 

PS: The Asian actress was hilarious. She served absolutely zero purpose in the film other than saying three lines, and most were no longer than a few words. I've never seen a character so disposable.

She apparently has connections within Legendary/Wanda who are trying to make her a known face in the west. She was in The Great Wall, now Kong and soon Pacific Rim 2.

The power of dating with a higher-up at Legendary.

At least in The Great Wall she was one of the leads. Here she was goddamn useless Grim. She is also an awful actress

Well, she can piss off if she's going to be as irrelevant in Pacific Rim. And her English accent sucks.

Pacific Rim's gonna bomb except in China where her star power is going to help it make over 100M.

A person whose first language is not English, not having a good English accent. 

 

In other news, water has been discovered to be wet. More at 11.

Yeah I don't get that criticism? 

Having an accent is not something she can change.

She doesn't even have star power.  Reportedly, the Chinese hate her

‘Kong: Skull Island’ Conquering ‘Logan’ For Top Spot At B.O. With $53M – Midday Update

2ND Update Midday: Warner Bros./Legendary’s Kong: Skull Island is floating toward a $20M Friday –that’s 37% better Pacific Rim‘s first day ($14.6M) and $500K shy of San Andreas ($20.5M) — which points the monster pic toward an opening weekend of $53M. That’s based off of non-Warner Bros. reported matinee projections.

HOLY SHIT. @Gokira2012

 

Deadline usually underestimates too so it has a chance at breaking 55M

Legendary produced Jurassic World for Universal. Universal are not going to let them die.

Legendary is more than just films, they own things like Nerdist. My guess is that unlike Relativity, Legendary is safe for now but I do wonder what will happen if Universal doesn't renew their financing deal with them which seems likely, they could go to Paramount or Sony. 

 

Either way, I would be a very sad panda. Paramount is clueless right now, and Sony is trying to throw things at the wall and see what sticks (while failing).

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I'm hoping for those mid 50 numbers, if it does San Andreas numbers DOM and 400 mil plus OS it will be fine.

Legendary financed 25% of the budget of JW, Universal did that as part of the deal when they signed with them, Universal doesn't need them for the sequel as they can take on more of the risk or use another financier like Perfect World
