Charlie Hunnam is NOT a movie star, when will Hollywood realize this?

Hollywood needs to stop trying to make some actors into movie stars

Agreed. I just don't understand why the fuck Sony is expanding freaking Baby Driver and not going with Spider-Man: Homecoming too. But maybe they are? Let's see.

Spider-Man doesn't need an expansion when it's likely to still be in more than 1,500 theaters by then.

Oh. Now I see. Homecoming still has 2.5k screens, while Baby Driver is under 1k. It makes sense.

Yeah I just realized that. Han explained to me that yesterday but I thought that Baby Driver had way more screens than it does atm.

well, they have not released numbers for it...

[Mojoguy]

I mean nearly everyone already has the Lion King bluray or can easily download it, so I doubt it made much at all. Disney could be too embarrassed to release the numbers if they are too low.

Still don't know why studios thought Cara would sell that movie. Everyone knows her as a fashion model and nothing else.

[MCKillswitch123]

YIKES at Dunkirk's drop from estimates.

 

It's really not a coincidence that Sundays have.... GOTten quite shabby for the last 5 weeks now.

The point to this is there are films that have done incredibly well when rereleased.  I'm not sure why TLK was being rereleased now but Disney didn't really put any significant advertising dollars into it.  I knew Titanic and JP were coming to theaters when rereleased.....I had no idea TLk was even out this weekend.

[baumer]

I can't believe how dead the rest of the month is after this weekend.  There's nothing coming out before IT and after Hitman's Bodyguard that is really going to make a dent in the box office.  Maybe the faith themed movie might do something  but I've never even heard of it.  Maybe the T2 release could do a few dollars.  But there really isn't one big film coming out between this weekend and September 8th.

It was only a rerelease at AMC; no other theaters had it.

Weinstein needs to wisen up and put Wind River in 2k theaters over this period. They aren't getting to that mark if they continue playing it slow

It is just an AMC thing. They are also rereleasing other Disney movies over September. @WrathOfHan has talked about it.

 

The Lion King made like 90M when it was rereleased a few years back by Disney.

I just saw Annabelle 2 and it was actually good. Never seen the first one. Don't remember Conjuring and never saw Conjuring 2.

 

There were genuine scares. I give it a 7/10

You did well to not see the first Annabelle, it was trash.
