Regional Canadian holiday didn't seem to help. Bummer. 

If that holiday's today, it seems to be helping certain movies a lot on Movietickets.com...I'd look for some nice Monday holds from all the under-R-rated family movies (or all PG-13 rated movies and below not named Dunkirk, Dark Tower, or Apes:)...

Yes it's today. Didn't seem to help last night like it did last year. Tend to think Game of Thrones is having a bigger impact than we want to admit on Sunday evenings.

Nah. Twin Peaks brought back what everyone had been waiting for all season last night. If you had to choose between TDT or this ? What would you do.

I don't know if GoT is having any effect on box office, but it is having on many people's enjoyment of movies. I think only TLJ will come close the epicness of last episode.

Very impressive from Dunkirk, sitting on the top for three days barring its third Friday. 200m is looking solid.

Films trending on MovieTickets.com right now:

 

1. The Emoji Movie 13.5%

2. Dunkirk 12.3%

3. The Dark Tower 8.6%

4. Despicable Me 3 7.9%

5. Spider-Man: Homecoming 7.3%

Anything $1m for Spidey would be great today. It'd mean an under -40% drop from last Monday.

We don't need one. We all know what the best movie of 1987 was.

Considering it celebrated its 30th anniversary, Masters of The Universe would have been a more worthy #1.

(And yes, Princess Bride does not make my top 5 - that movie never sung to me like it does a lot of people...it's good, but heck, I think I liked Robocop better)...

Princess Bride is great, but Robocop definitely tops my list, so I agree in that regard.

Again, Universal 1931...

 

Frankenstein, Dracula, the Mummy, The Invisible Man, The Wolf Man, etc...all in the same universe...

 

Then, Frankenstein had sequels, also set in the universe - Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein, The Ghost of Frankenstein, House of Frankenstein...

 

Dracula had Dracula's Daughter, Son of Dracula, House of Dracula...

 

Invisible Man had Invisible Man Returns...

 

AND we got crossover sequels IN universe like Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man...

Yup Universal basically created the first shared universe, even if a lot of was basically by accident, which is what made it so enjoyable though.

And they still remain highly entertaining, and films like Bride of Frankenstein rank among the best films of the 1930's.

I actually liked Masters of the Universe. Frank Langella stole the movie.

It's a mess, but it's fairly entertaining. Also the villains are fun, and Conti's score is amazing.

To be fair, every movie from '87 celebrated their 30th anniversary this year.
