BEAUTY AND THE BEAST WEEKEND THREAD | Late Sunday Numbers (Asgard) - 48-49M | Official Weekend Estimate: 170M; OS OW: 180M; WW OW: 350M

[Yandereprime101189]

I'm predicting $19-$26 million in Thursday night showings and a opening weekend of between $160-$210 million

Anyone that expects a Disney film to be high-mark is gonna be disappointed. They're in the entertainment business.

It'll be mostly GIFs and one sentence posts, so just skim it like I always do on big threads

 

Lol, I usually just click the skip to last page button.

It needs to beat Days of Future Pants.  A stripped down R-rated Wolverine movie not concerned about setting up future movies filled with bullshit or an after credits scene beating every X-Men at the BO for less than half the budget would be so great.

 

Logan was great, but DoFP was better. Though they're very different, DoFP was more emotional. The rest of the X-Men movies are blurs. Can barely remember much from any of them.

MMMMM i love FILM. not movies but FILM. the best of course being The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station (1895). the first, and therefore most original piece.

[WrathOfHan]

The only time I skipped 30+ pages was in the JW weekend thread, and that was my first weekend here. I have no life, so I read everything

When it comes to Alice, it absolutely played a massive role. Alice was the first big-budget film post-Avatar (and many were on a 3D high from it) plus the fantasy setting and visuals really helped the film gain buzz. 

Clash of the Titans is the only answer I will accept to this.

I'd disagree.  Movies like Inside Out, Zootopia, and The Force Awakens prove otherwise.

That doesn't mean they should be given a pass from it.

 

Like legit people are trying to defend the film by saying "lol it's just what Disney does."  Well if that's what Disney does, then I completely disapprove of it and think I should be allowed to express my disapproval of it.  Am I not allowed an opinion solely for that reason?

You're allowed to have an opinion, but we're free to criticize it.

 

Don't turn into Lordmandeep where "hurr I feel silenced because I was put on ignore"

Logan

X2

DOPants

 

Pants is good, but it never reaches the heights of X2 imo.  In terms of emotion, I don't think any CBM touches Logan.  I've never experienced the feels during a CBM before.

[That One Girl]

my like-dislike ratio is gonna sink very low this coming weekend but I don't give a fuck cause #FuckThatStupidDisney

[grey ghost]

I love gold status.

 

I'll give ten likes to the next person who can make me laugh.

Haven't seen IO. Zootopia and Force Awakens were entertaining and good (for Disney), but were still entertainment fare. I'm getting the impression that That One Guy wanted something more up there.
