The Rocketeer? Yes! Also better than all Indiana Jones movies not named Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Thought that was Jon Hamm for a second.

Shit son, the Librarian trilogy is better than the 99 Mummy.

Rocketeer truly suffers from it's beyond bland leading man perfomance.  Dalton, Connelly and the great art design are high points but not enough to save it.

 

Temple of Doom - I just find unpleasant.  The only part I ever re-watch is the opening scene.

Fair. But, the supporting players make up for it. Dalton and Arkin are aces.

Rocketeer remake. John Hamm as the villain. Colin Farrell as the lead. Get Raimi or Matthew Vaughn to direct.

Didn't the early numbers last weekend say that Wonder Woman would only do 32-35mil on Friday?

Personally I really enjoy Temple of Doom, mostly though I think it's a rollercoaster of a thrill-ride, yeah it has problems, but it's a film I've seen several times now anyway.

Yes, if $15 million ends up being accurate for the Friday, it is going to be a close one it looks like. Looks like you made a really good club from that perspective - could be a really close over/under.

 

Regardless, $50-51 million at least is looking pretty realistic if the $15 million Friday projection is accurate. It's hard to know, because it is so early, but if this holds, certainly a great drop and second weekend for Wonder Woman.

 

Peace,

Mike

 

Yes, a little off from 15 (<0.5 higher or lower) can make a 1-1.5 difference in the weekend. So it's early to tell if it will match BVS's 51.34.

50+ does look in very good shape though.

TOD is pretty dark for sure. That being said, its action scenes are incredibly fun and incredibly clever; any single one of them probably trumps the action of MUMMY or any of its sequels, and TOD has several (depending on when you figure one sequence starts and another begins). 

 

MUMMY is genial, fun, and coasts by on the appeal of its leads and most of the iconography, setting, and setup that was established by others in the genre (including all three prior Indy movies).

Plus Horner's great score too, can't forget that.

MOVIE OPINIONS:
 

The Mummy: It's an absolute tonal mess, but I had some fun with it. The movie doesn't know if it wants to be horror or like the Fraser films. It's fairly well paced save for one stretch in the back of the second act. I'd give it a 7/10.

 

It Comes at Night: LORD YES THIS WAS FUCKING INCREDIBLE  Great acting and directing, gorgeous cinematography, and sharp pacing if you know what you're getting it. What else could you want? Easily the second best film of the year behind Get Out for me. My showing only had 6 other people in it, and reactions were mixed.

Not Hollywood Reporter. Deadline did though. Hollywood Reporter and Variety ended up being more accurate.

I love me some Temple of Doom. My favorite Indy film.

MUMMY 11

THR

That's a prediction...

[WrathOfHan]

TRAILERS:

 

It happened @That One Guy. I GOT FUCKING TRANSFORMERS AT BOTH FUCKING MOVIES  However, I also got Atomic Blonde and MOTOE at both, so that was a win  Predicting wise I got 6/8 trailers on Mummy correct and 4/8 on ICAN.

 

Mummy:

Transformers

Baby Driver

Murder on the Orient Express

It

Atomic Blonde

American Made

Thor 3D

Valerian 3D

 

ICAN:

 

All Eyez on Me (teaser)

Transformers

Atomic Blonde (for some reason it had the stairwell fight but not McAvoy's f-bomb)

The Dark Tower

Murder on the Orient Express

Annabelle: Creation

Good Time

A Ghost Story

 

When the American Made trailer started, a fight broke out behind me because of the reserved seating issues  When I got my ticket taken for ICAN, the employee told me there have been fights all day long

Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy, Invisible Man and etc can appeal to today's moviegoers. But give them a reason to care, and when I say give them a reason to car isn't to attach A list talent just because. What they need is to go back to the horror roots of these characters, maybe even go Rated R. These stories and this universe could work, if they understood that cinematic universes aren't about A list power, but about stories, good stories. [. . .] Mummy could be a very good scary movie, and hell, Jackman's Van Helsing was a cool idea that went terribly wrong.

 

I don't see any lies here^^^

[franfar]

Never heard of Rocketeers before.

Yep, sounds like Florida

Talking about Indiana Jones, why hasn't Paramount made another one after KotCS? That movie made an enormous amount of money.
