Saw Kingsman: The Golden Circle. I actually enjoyed it. The action sequences were as great as ever, and the reasoning for bringing back Firth's character wasn't as absurd as I thought it was gonna be. Not as good as the first, a bit too overstuffed and long, but a solid enough follow-up nonetheless. Hope it makes over 100m domestically, I wouldn't mind another installment.

In regards to KFP3, had China not been so huge, it would done dropped a lot more as it underperformed in most markets. I suspect DWA thought KFP3 would be a billion dollar grosser.

Definitely. I'm sure they thought it was gonna even better in China then it did. The film's actually solid though, and I think it should have done better then it did, but sequel fatique striked.

That would be actually be my only compliant. It did feel pretty overstuffed. Couldn't imagine seeing what was cut out.

I hope Vaughn's 3 hour 40 minute version of Kingsman gets released (he did mention it as a possibility).  I'd have to watch it over two days (one half one day and the other half another day), but man I wanna see what it'd be like.

Releasing the film 5 years after the second film didn’t help either.

They can post again tomorrow at 4:30pm Pacific.

Ninjago is WAG's worst movie but it's easily not the worst animated movie of the year. Hell, of this summer's animations, it tops them all except Captain Underpants.

I can't imagine Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was that great. The trailers made it seem very much for kids only. 

You should give it a shot. I had the same reactions to the trailers when I was in seventh grade but we ended up seeing it because there was nothing out and I still find it hilarious, altho Lord/Miller's weakest film.

It's not hard to top UNDERPANTS.

Just wait till you get those screeners and Tele Jr begs to watch them. Captain Underpants will look like the Apu trilogy to you.

So at this rate, if IT holds a little better next weekend and drops about 45%, it should be at around 293-295 million, so that means it should cross 300 million on October 6th.  Looking like a 320-325 finish unless late legs are really good.

It should re-expand by Halloween

1. ...that makes you mad?

 

2. We haven't seen the movie, it seems odd to claim an aspect ratio isn't "justified". (As if you need to justify it in the first place).

Stylistically it looks like it doesn't fit with the other films. That's all. It annoys me when it's a different aspect ratio than the other trailers. The mad thing is about Cyborg being it tbh

They figured they'd reign themselves in for the movie. They didn't and refused to change their method so Lucasfilm had to let them go.

They were literally hired because Kasdan wanted to see their voice on the project. Why hire them for their voice if they wanted it to be Kasdan's script?

seeing how tele jr made it through that but left Cars 3 after 40 min, it's clear Underpants is better than that at least

I think Tele Jr wanted to walk out of Cars 3, if I remember correctly.

Too bad they (allegedly) were giant dicks.

Tele Jr doesn't have much of a cinephile palate right now.

Presumably when they were hired it was because there was a shared vision as to how the movie would turn out and there was an assumed mutual understanding

 

Maybe that vision, as exciting in theory, turned out to not be that great in execution and they resisted having to change approach? Maybe they walked back on what the original understanding was?  Or maybe there was a mutual misunderstanding as to vision the whole time. We'll never know for sure.
