I think it's just a bug with the clubs thing. It took a few days at least until I could post/see the discussion sections of the Cogman Cogclub. Came up with the same error that the DCEU Club has now.

 

You could cogently say it took a while for the club to be cognizant of your existence, perhaps it was looking for a cognomen.

Critique me all you want but it's still my favorite movie of 2014 but I was a huge fan of the book.

With Annabelle guaranteed to open close to 40 million IT really looks like it is going to blow up in September

I'm starting to think my conservative $50-60m OW prediction might be the floor.

Creation's raised my IT prediction up to 55-60M OW which still probably seems safe.

If it's Batman, the June 2019 movie will happen. It will take the WW slot.

Fox has a Marvel film scheduled for the week before but I suspect they'll move it to August if the June 2019 DC film is Batman or SS2.

Yep. Both the movie and the book are still awesome indeed. 

[Nova]

I don't see how IT opens to less than $60M. 

 

I mean unless it ends being a giant steaming pile of shit, I really don't see how IT isn't just going to shatter some records. I'm talking OW. I'm talking horror movie records. 

 

This thing is gonna be huge. 

[mahnamahna]

Annabelle - Creation should definitely finish above the first film in DOM total, even if it ends up at $35-36 million OW.

 

$40 million/$110 million seems reasonable since it has minimal competition between now and September 8th. 

 

Hitman's Bodyguard may also end up surprising with a $35 million+ OW since, like Girls Trip, it may be a well-received comedy in a summer where all of them have been panned underperformers.

I think Sony wants that spot too for Homecoming 2 just in case.

I think HC2 will stay put or move forward a week to June 28th. I don't see them going for mid June.

I still get stunned by stop motion techniques, Chicken Run still holds up today and Laika really pushes the technology to its limits and produced stunning results. I like CGI but it can be a bit samey.

Paranorman & Kubo had some amazing sequences that were so-good, they almost looked realistic. I was astonished.

I don't see Sony putting a Spider-Man film in August either.

Since you're one of the leaders of the DCEU club, I gotta ask:

 

I can't access the discussion. Is that just a me thing or is that for everyone?

It's not just you.  I'm having the same issue and opened up a support ticket.  If I hear anything back before the problem fixes itself via internet magic, I'll let you know.

Some users can access, we have some discussion already started in the group. I have raised the issue as well, let's see what happens.

Appreicate it, mate.

Wow, Annabelle Creation was really good and David F. Sandberg is becoming one of my favorite directors in Hollywood.  Of course Han didn't like it since he's such a fucking casual

Only casuals go for those cheap jump "scares". Sandberg needs to learn from Wan da gawd how to execute scares properly.
