DUNKIRK WEEKEND THREAD | ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS | Official estimates Dunkirk 50.5M, GT 30.3M, SMH 22M, Apes 20.4M, Val 17M | Wonder Woman is the new summer champ with 389M total | Summer Sale is Live!

[Avatree]

Does Apes have many more territories to open in? And what dates the China release? The whole thing is looking pretty bad at the moment, doing poorly domestic and OS. Although I seem to recall Dawn taking a while to build up to the 700M it grossed.

I saw a couple pictures I was busy being caught off guard by the "oh this was based on a true story?" thing to notice that.

 

Cool revelations like this happen when you see a movie without ever having seen a trailer and only based on reviews and wom.

I've been pretty indifferent towards DM3's run, but now that it's having good holds, I want it to collapse. You can threadban me for being too negative, but DM3 is one of the most vile films I've seen this year. It's not interesting in the slightest, nor is it that cringeworthy. It feels like 2 hours despite being under 90 minutes. No movie this year, not even King Arthur (which I gave a worse rating than DM3 FWIW), left me as bored in the theater as DM3 did. It's unimaginative filmmaking that does not deserve nearly 1B WW. And don't use the "kids like it, so it's fine!" excuse on me. That promotes lazy filmmaking. Take an auteur like Wes Anderson or Charlie Kaufman. Both of these prestigious filmmakers have made animated films (the former's next one is stop motion as well) like Fantastic Mr Fox and Anomalisa to widespread acclaim. The box office returns weren't there because of weak marketing, but the former proves you can have stylized family films (the latter has puppet sex so let's not call it a family film  ). Lazy filmmaking does not deserve high returns. Plain and simple.

in my opinion

 

I hope people take their kids to see Valerian instead, because that IS a much better movie for kids than DM3, and deserves the money over DM3 IMHO.

Agreed. I hope the same audience who saw the fourth and arguably stale DM takes the time to see Ninjago

I said 50+. It is indeed above 50.

 

Victory for me, and therefore New Zealand. Suck it, Australia.

I went in blind to 47 Meters Down save for a few stills. I watched a trailer for Big Sick months ago but forgot a lot of the footage so that was essentially blind as well. This is why I'm pumped for mother!: we have no idea what the fuck it is.
