No. It really doesn't. Y'all just being fucking drama queens

 

Maybe a little bit, but Hollywood looks for any reason to stick to their un-creative rot. They have confirmation bias when it comes to how view certain successes and failures. There's an interesting article out there about how execs reacted to Inception's success.

People outside of Hollywood always have the solutions to everything.

Funny how this works.

My theater has it on a total of 5 screens this weekend and a lot of the main evening shows are filling up fast. Definitely a strong sign if you ask me. Can't really see it going below $35M.

Did I say I had solutions? Odd way to frame this discussion.

Pitt and DiCapiro are so damn great in this (Robbie wasn't given much to do sadly), overall though I feel this is one of the more weaker Tarantino films. Felt like things could have been much tighter, and there was some clunky stuff in the middle of the film. 

 

Liked it overall.

RTM thread is now up if folks want to discuss the movie in-depth:

The D word they refuse to say.

Told you.

What do you mean with "the future of cinema is streaming". All the movies in a months subscription like the Netflix model? Some people I don't know why thinks this when  the only possibile future is we will pay a ticket for every single movie we choose to see like now, just at home.

For reference, Sony is expecting $30 million on the dot this weekend, and it’s important to keep in mind the film’s R rating, 2 hour 45 minute run time, and lack of many premium format screens to boost average ticket prices.

 

Meanwhile, The Lion King is fresh off its July record — and eighth best ever — opening weekend of $191.8 million. With no new competition for family audiences, a firm grip on IMAX and other PLF screens, 

 

Yup that’s Disney for you, hogging screens yet again

On page 2 on the day of previews.

NO HYPE!

I'm debating about seeing this in an hour and a half.  I guess the biggest plus is, if I go,  it will give me enough points to have a free ticket for me next visit and it helps me keep my diamond status  

[75Live]

Ok, I broke down and in the theater now.  

 

Probably not the best idea since I haven't slept in 30+ hours and this is a long talkie movie.  Hopefully I won't snore 😛

I did that and slept through Toy Story 4.

I've never fell asleep in a theater before so this could be a first 😛

A $191.8M opener in just its 2nd weekend? Of course it's going to have all those screens! I realize it's popular to pile on Disney but that is...par for the course.

 

Disregard if you were bing sarcastic.

Haha, you and I think very much alike! I always justify seeing a movie by accumulating points so I can see the next one for free. It's also how I un-apologetically justify spending absorbent amounts of money on popcorn combos. I accumulate tons and tons of points.

The only time - at least that I can recall - I've fallen asleep in a theatre is when I saw a matinee of Looper. I was working nights at the time and I couldn't get to sleep in the morning so I stayed up and a few hours later decided to see a movie.
