@CJohn I will watch Cars 3.......... sometime.

 

Didn't he also direct Death Sentence w/Kevin Bacon?

 

(Not to be confused w/Dead Silence, the movie about the ventriloquist puppet who kills screamers, that was directed by the guy who did Saw II and III iirc)

 

Also, how dare you diss Justin Lin? He's no Wan, but he single handedly saved F&F 

Both Dead Silence and Death Sentence were directed by Wan. Never saw either of them.

Saw, Insidious, Insidious: Chapter 2, The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2. The Conjuring movies are some of my favorite horror movies of all time.

 

He has produced Lights Out and Annabelle Creation, both of which also pretty good.

 

You are failing your own people. Instead of supporting successful asian visionary directors like Wan you support asian journeymans like Lin.

 

Also, don't forget I supported the true Asian Visionary

The true visionary is Chris Morgan.  He wrote everything since Tokyo Drift.  He planned everything out form the start, every twist, every turn.  Visionary writer.

[Ms Lady Hawk]

Does anyone know why the estimates changed for WW and Dunkirk on boxofficemojo?

Sure he did

I didn't bother to mention him because I only saw one movie from him and it was truly awful. No redeemable qualities.

Nut Job 2's lowest PTA for 4,000 record won't be broken for a LONG time.

Well the record was already broken 3 time in 2017, poor Emoji movie didn't hold that record for long.

 

The mummy: $7,853 PTA, 4,035 theater

Emoji          : $6,020 PTA, 4,075 theater

Nut job 2     : $2,084 PTA, 4,003 theater

 

That said it is not everyday that a record is broken by that much, you could be right (but has theater become many screen multiplex more and more, simply getting one in a multiplex will mean less and less, so that record could still go down easily)

Lin didn't create SHIT. The franchise was already there. He did two awful movies before getting it right, and I am gonna guess the whole FAMILY nonsense stuff came up from Vin Diesel

I slightly edited my post but you guys are too fast quoting. I stand by it, tho. Dude is a fine director that can get the job done but there are a million more like him. Wan did a better F&F with one attempt than Lin with four (and Lin also did the worst F&F movie, which also happens to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen).

 

Furious 7 is worse than 5, 6, and 8.

 

It's worse than Tokyo Drift too. There, I said it.

 

Sandberg and Wan can bend the knee and suck it.

Just think about this: EVERY SINGLE FUCKING TWIST FROM TOKYO DRIFT ONWARDS WAS THE WORK OF CHRIS MORGAN.

For real. 7 is in the bottom half of the series (ranking?)

Maybe if you have read everything you would have understand. I was talking about Portugal specifically.

Yes I should learn to read context.

That's because you're not a Cinephile like me. Raise the Red Lantern and Hero are masterpieces the likes Wan could never even touch

Maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore. I don't want to be associated with someone who says sick/demented stuff like this. Find help, man.

I saw DS. 

 

In seriousness, I saw Dead Silence many years ago. Clichéd and more unintentionally funny than scary, but it had some creepy moments and a cool idea.

 

Did he direct Dead Silence? I'm not sure.... (Quick Google search) Yes he did. You were right.

Over 40% Sunday drop for both. Guessing Anabelle will be similar.

Zang Whatever doesn't make movies in genres I like so I don't care. He isn't the father of three monster franchises.

Those franchises are diseased children that will flame out in 5 years.

 

Zhang Yimou has made art. Art will survive forever.

If that is correct, Spider-Man: Homecoming went less than 0.1 under the estimates:

 

Estimates: $6,100,000

Actuals (according with The-Numbers): 6,022,637

 

Total for Homecoming right now is $306,276,331. It's a -32% drop andif I'm not mistaken, the best hold among the top 10 films, same hold as The Big Sick and slightly better than Dunkirk's. 

Numbers for Homecoming were confirmed by BOM.

Saw and The Conjuring movies will live forever. Those three are damn great art.
