One of my local Regals is having next Wednesday's preview. I don't have work on that day, so I might check it out.

Sadly, something popped up last minute so I won't see it tonight. Maybe somebody here's going out to see it.

I'm hoping if CRA hits big in the US, WB will move up the UK release date.

[Morieris]

On the plus side, our AMC (which is closer) is getting it. Only problem is it starts at like 4 PM on the 15th despite that being the release day...hopefully they add more showtimes earlier!

[YLF]

At the AMC about 25 mins away someone refunded their ticket which is a good seat. So I guess im going to go tonight by my lonesome!

My friend is at a showing in LA right now.

- she just checked and nearly every AMC in LA is sold out right now. 

- Her AMC ended up adding a second showing.

- Tons of older women and (obviously) huge Asian turn out. 

[filmlover]

All signs are pointing to a breakout for this. Wouldn't be surprised if this ends up finishing in the $115-120M range as Girls Trip did.

[Morieris]

I'm so happy that it's getting relatively good reviews and selling out everywhere. There was no question that BP would succeed, but this is smaller and hopefully opens the door for more movies about Asian people to be greenlit for Hollywood.

[Rebeccas]

I would not wanna be the first critic to give this a rotten review...

[Ryan Reynolds]

sadly probably another overhyped film by critics probably for the wrong reasons

well no one's saying it's a masterpiece but when you hear that this movie has an entire minority group's future in the entertainment industry riding on it, what are like not going to be supportive?

Begins with 100% on RT with 13 reviews. 

[Zakiyyah6]

Sounds like a fun time like Girls Trip was.

cause its not real praise, when i hear critics say they feel they need to champion for these type of of films, they overpraise a merely ok film. This is Love Simon all over again, a merely ok film getting over praise.

Maybe by some individual, but it 7.5/10 reception on RT, 7.1/10 on metacritic seem to match what I have seen in theater.

 

You think it was more of a 6.5/7 movie than a 7/7.5 ? or a bigger gap than that ?

I haven't seen this film yet but this is definitely false.

So why do you get to choose what is and isn't legitimate praise?

[WrathOfHan]

Jon M. Chu has actually made a good movie?
