OMG the emoji movie has a 1.7 on IMDB

 

That would put in the all time bottom #5 on the site!

 

Epic in a bad way

Dark Tower will I guess be the critical win for Sony between it and Emoji

But good for holdovers!

Atomic Blonde should do about $20M for the weekend since it likely skews over 25. It only needs to make over $45M to enter Focus Features' top 10 of all time and cost just $30M so it'll end up a decent little hit in the end.

Why does the IMDB score matter lol

 

I believe SNATCHED had like a 3.3 when it came out but it wasn't really hated that much

Normally I'd be weary since most of those people probably haven't watched the film yet, but in this case, I'd be surprised if that score moves up very much by the end of it's run, if at all, given these reviews.

Jumanji has potential though. I think reviews will be Daddy's Home esque and do $200M

It should do decently OS as Universal are handling distribution. I like the fact they're expanding into mid budget action film in addition to the more prestige films they're known for.

IMDB is still a troll magnet even after doing away with the forums.

Emoji is going to flop BIG time this weekend!

People will go buy their tickets on Fandango and see that 0% RT score and they'll be like....


NOPE!

Baby Driver was the exception to the rule probably due to the fact it was made by Tristar rather than either Columbia or SPA. I suspect Universal will try and nab Edgar Wright for his next film given they turned down Baby Driver.

 

Sony at least has a success in Spider-Man but I don't know if it's going to be enough, they have Blade Runner 2049 as they're distributing OS which should at least a critical success.

There's a good chance like 2016 none of their 2018 films can do $500M WW or even $400M WW

Not to forget...GB2016.

I haven't looked at Pixels dislikes number, but could be high.

 

SMH's bo is a blessing for them. They must have done double flips to get Craig on for Bond 25.

For their sake and sake of more healthy competition, I am rooting for them to actually succeed with Animated SM, Venom, Silver Cable etc.

 

Also instead of Emoji and Smurfs, hope their animation department can give us some Cloudy and Aardman-like quality once again.

Mark Boal was just on Fox News plugging Detroit. Can't say Annapurna isn't trying to market it

Jumanji is going to be a huge hit and Dark Tower is guaranteed not to bomb because of the budget....in fact none of these are going to bomb as the budget for all of them is relatively low.

SPA needs a shake up and badly otherwise they'll be gone in a couple of a years. 

 

Sony don't have Bond at the moment as their contract with MGM and EON expired and it's looking likely Warner Bros might be taking over distributing Bond.
