james corden is the new russell brand. based on that he did terrorize the uk with his nonsense for years before moving over to annoying america and then also he did a dumbass bunny movie and now he just has some youtube channel we all can ignore.

@Squadron Leader Tele cursed it, his anti-power.

 

(though really, it was the tepid reviews and zero awards buzz that doomed this one)

Andy Serkis is not having the best start as a director.  Is his Jungle Book ever coming out?

I have a feeling it'll be the BR2049 of October 2018.

So AM is not getting a China release?

for it to be the BR2049 of October, it actually has to be good

With all that cocaine flying all over the place just in the trailer?

 

My guess -  No way.

I guess it makes sense. The Wolf of Wall Street didn't have China release either.

I'm not ready to give up on Blade Runner legging out.  It only made 8.595M last week on its true Friday opening - that is when things looked really bleak.  With that context I think it may be showing signs it won't sputter and die - and it will keep imax, dolby, realD for the most part for 2 more weekends.  Don't be surprised if weekdays are weak though and it continues to be a Saturday and Sunday movie.

i think the jungle book could be good. pretty sure it's a flop though. i get that it's closer to the book and "dark and gritty" or whatever so it's not entirely a retread of last year's movie but is dark jungle book a movie that literally anyone wants?

if it had a better expansion plan i guess you could say it's box office performance could've been...... Better.

Disney's Jungle Book was already pretty close to the book and quite dark in a couple of places, far more than it's animated film. 

 

I think that surprised WB and their version wasn't going to have that angle covered unless they went truly dark - and yeah not something too many want to see.

It does make America look bad, so China and CJohn will probably support it.

65% of Happy Death Days audience were under age 25. Wonder what that’ll mean for legs in the long run. 

It will be fine, Ouija 1 drew 75% under 25, and despite being an awful movie, still managed a 2.6x.

The supposed game-changing visual effects won't save Jungle Book: Origins. Halloween will make everything else its bitch that weekend.
