[Ethan Hunt]

The problem with Boyhood is it's far too investing for it's own good. like god damn it there is so much of the kids life that I want to see that I don't get to.

overnighters is great too if that's the documentary.

I can say with utmost authority that FOX had a bad summer. For the last couple of years, their summer movies have disappointed at the boxoffice. Last summer was really bad and now this summer was bad. 2015 wasn't any good too. 

 

 

 

Captain Underpants and Apes will both profit, while Covenant will probably break even and Snatched will probably have a long life on cable TV networks and profit off the HV market.  Nothing spectacular but far from terrible.

Can a hardcore cinephile rank these movies from Netflix, best to worst?

 

The list is for a middle aged woman who enjoys smart but relatable filmmaking.

 

The Big Short
Sing Street
Spotlight
Boyhood
Girlhood
Clouds of Sils Maria
Frank
Overnighters
Blue is the Warmest Color    
Burn After Reading
The Place Beyond the Pines

 

Sing Street is good, Boyhood is nice, Big Short will actively make you angry.

How is this a complaint?

Because when I'm done watching the movie I'm frustrated because I didn't get to see that stuff. It's hella good but that always annoys me. It should be like 3 hours longer

separated from my own personal preferences Sing Street and Spotlight seems to be the most broadly appealing ones that you can't go wrong with that i don't really know anyone who hates on them. Blue and Pines are my personal preferences but seem to be much more of a coin toss they got a few haters out there.

Clouds of Sils Maria and Burn After Reading would probably be a love-it-or-hate-it kind of deal for said woman. (Unless you already know if she's into the Coens.) Sing Street and Spotlight are the most safe I guess. After that Boyhood, Pines, The Big Short.

The 2 World Wars are saving Warner Bros' summer.

Everything, Everything will also make a decent profit for them at its 10M budget. King Arthur is the big money loser, but that seems to have been swept under the rug completely now. Annabelle 2 should do well as well. Only 6 releases for WB this summer - Arthur, EE, WW, The House, Dunkirk and Annabelle 2. Spring itself saw 6 releases for them. Looks like they are definitely experimenting with off peak release dates. Sully did really well in September last year and IT should do that as well this year.

If she likes explicit lesbian sex then absolutely show her Blue.

Once at the moment.  I'll see it another time this coming week after I see Girls Trip tonight and A Ghost Story sometime during the week.

[La Binoche]

Lmao did WB really stop tracking The House? Or did they just not report the weekend numbers? 

[Mojoguy]

Just who the hell are watching the WW??

A CBM movie like SMH didn't take away its audience, kid-friendly DM3 didn't, adult-male driven Apes neither, and now GT which heavily target woman, only to make WW drop 30% when WW suffered its harshest drop in theater count!

She's got legs

The UK OW was huge which probably isn't too surprising considering the subject matter. 

 

Should have great legs too, which will help its overseas gross.

DM3's 4th weekend is higher than Minions' 4th weekend

12.7 versus 12.35

Minions added around 49m more after that 4th weekend domestically. (287 + 49 = 336)

DM3 is now at 75% of Minions total after 4th weekend. (213 versus 287)

I suspect WB already wrote off King Arthur before it was released. The House was a dud but it wasn't too expensive. 

 

It and Ninjago should be successful in September and October should be good for them as both Blade Runner and Geostorm are just being distributed by them so they don't lose out if neither does huge business.

The competition isn't great either, could see 2-3 weeks at number 1 in the UK.

blue is the warmest color is one of my favourite examples of how everyone always seems to extend the temporality of movies when watching them at the cinema. every review saying the movie had a giant 20 minute lesbian sex sequence when in reality it's like 7 minutes. this always happens. another good one was a BUNCH of people here saying the dino v. dino fighting at the climax of jurassic world lasted for like 30 minutes when it's under 10.
