Yes. If you want to discuss it, you have to join the DC club or go to the Franchise War thread.

Also might be my bias but I think Gosling is more popular than ever after La La Land. Certainly think he'll bring more interest to 2049 than many of his counterparts could have

[Boxofficerules]

Happy Death Day REALLY should have been rated R. Would have probably made more money with an R rating to boot.

her other upcoming film, Darren Aronofsky’s Mother!, has a total budget of $13 million—less than what Lawrence was paid upfront for the last installment of the Hunger Gamesfranchise.

Jesus. What happened to simply ignoring others on here? November as stated numerous times is going to be a nightmare. As a CBM fan, it saddens me that the thread was close since people couldn't ignore.

I'm happy that the JL thread was closed because that was easily the worst thread, with it gone we can all live in peace

On second thought, it might've been a blessing considering the thread. Can you imagine what'd happen if JL got negative reviews?

[Dementeleus]

JL thread is indefinitely closed while the staff discusses how best to proceed.

I love Fassbender but he (like Tom Hardy, Ryan Gosling, Idris Elba and Ryan Reynolds) is an actor stupidly-overestimated by Social Media and the GA shrugs their shoulders at.

Eh, Reynolds is the only actor in that group that I would say has really chased stardom. The other four have mostly been working in either low-key projects that never carried the weight of big expectations at the box office or were part of big films in which they were a piece of a much bigger pie that didn't ask them to flex their starpower muscles (Fassbender has been unlucky in his leading man choices, but he would still easily find work overseas if the roles here eventually stopped coming).

Even if it was kept open, I think that thread needed to be closed especially during the RT watch: with great reviews one side would have gloated, with torrid ones the other side would have gloated, and with mixed reviews both sides would have claimed victory and gloated. Can't imagine what it must be for a mod to maintain a thread like that.

[YM!]

Hopefully, even if fanboyism from both sides spread, CBM box office clubs will continue right?

Random question: does THB have a post credits scene?
