Cinderella Man is underrated.

That one and Far and Away are my favorite RH films.

I know...everyone looks at me like, "WTF?"

[LonePirate]

I hadn't realized it had been 20 years since Howard made a good film. And his highest grossing film is still a year away.

Most people here hate Davinci Code.  I love it.  It's a great adaptation of the novel.

[MinaTakla]

Is this true?

 

When the final numbers are in, Ninjago will be confirmed as the weakest opening ever for an animated film launching in 4,000+ theaters. The ignominious record was broken just two months earlier by Sony Picture Animation’s The Emoji Movie, which launched in 4,075 theaters with $24.5 million. The hopeful takeaway for Sony and WB is that not every animated feature should be treated as a tent-pole or launched in 4,000+ theaters. It puts unreasonable pressure on all involved when every animated feature is expected to deliver a $40 million opening.

If it gets an F score, it'll join the list of 20 movies with that score:

 

1) Eye of Beholder

 

2) Dr T and the Women

 

3) Lost Souls

 

4) Lucky Numbers

 

5) Solaris

 

6) Fear Dot Com

 

7) Darkness

 

8) In the Cut

 

9) Alone in The Dark

 

10) Wolf Creek

 

11) The Wicker Man

 

12) Bug

 

13) I Know Who Killed Me

 

14) Disaster Movie

 

15) The Box

 

16) Silent House

 

17) The Devil Inside

 

18) Killing Them Softly

 

19) Mother

Why did The Box get an F? It's not that bad and it isn't offensive or shocking or anything.

CARTOON BREW Animation Update:

 

Speaking of animation franchises, there’s at least one company that has figured out how to consistently entertain global audiences. Universal/Illumination’s Despicable Me 3 added $2.9M to its global take this weekend, lifting its worldwide total to nearly $1.02 billion.

DM3 is now just $4M shy of overtaking Zootopia to become the 5th highest-grossing animated feature of all time.

A couple countries in particular on the tail end of DM3′s release schedule – Japan and Italy – have overperformed and driven the film’s continued strong performance at the global box office. In both countries, DM3 is the 2nd highest-grossing film to date of 2017, with over $64M in Japan and over $20M in Italy.

No idea. Perhaps the ending turned off the audiences...

 

I didn't think the movie was that bad, though...

Well, you're not alone. I also thought The Da Vinci Code is a very interesting, dark & intense thriller-film.

 

So far...that film is still director Ron Howard's highest grossing film, WW-wise

with $758M. And also the highest grossing live-action film for Tom Hanks.

Jesus fuck @ how much Ninjago dropped from estimates. 60M isn't locked.

 

It's strange that the one time Kevin makes a reasonable prediction for a WB film, it bombs.......

Edited September 25, 2017 by WrathOfHan

How much was the intial estimate for Ninjago ?

 

So The Hitman's Bodyguard  ended up being a nice little hit after all...
