@Squadron Leader Tele is a MCU hater. 

 

Frankly we should’ve known.

 

How can he hate the MCU if he doesn't watch the movies?

 

Next level mind games from Tele.

I can predict Tele review of JL.

It is a shame that the box office is so monolithic at the moment, superheroes dominate everything and movies like BR2049 or Valerian can't become even modest hits.

Because they sucked.

I was about to post something about that. Thor fan, I want CBMs to continue to dominate. But man, hardly anything makes money in the theaters these days, besides the CBMs.

 

I like old school horror (not the current cheap, bloodless, PG13 mass produced, mainstream Blumhouse thing). Sci fi, action, thrillers. I want them to do well too.

 

The Friday The 13th sequel gets canned because Rings bombed. Things like that are going on, because nobody can make any money outside of the CBM genre.

 

You've gotta be an idiot to sign on to some of these weird projects like Matt Damon has been taking. In this current box office climate, you're asking for a bomb

I'm just glad horror did so well this year.  Keep it going.

[Mulder]

Nobody can make money outside of the CBM genre hm? I mean sure if you ignore Beauty and The Beast, Kong: Skull Island, IT, Get Out, Baby Driver, Split etc etc.

The animation genre is the only other thing that makes money at the box office. It’s nice to see something like IT breaking out. I want more sci-fi, action, comedy, whatever also breakout too. I love CBMs and will try to see all 11 next year.

 

Shame about FT13:2, but I doubt it’d help Paramount out. They are pretty much dead.

Valerian might’ve been worse than The Mummy. I’m gonna have to rewatch Mummy to be certain that I have not misplaced my hate.

Valerian is actually a good movie.

 

The Mummy is one of the worst films of the year, if not the worst.

Logan: Good first two acts, third act that's fine but only really picks up at the very end

 

GotG2: Good first act, sags in the middle, good third act

 

WW: Good first two acts, stumbles in the third act

 

SMH: More consistent even if the third act is a little underwhelming

 

Ragnarok: Somewhat rushed first act, good second and third acts

I'm feeling like 39.5-41 for Saturday. Hitting 42 would great though.

It’s certainly the best of the Star Wars prequels.

[DeeCee]

Please don’t lump Valerian and BR2049 together.

I’ll go to bat for VALERIAN. Great world building, decent pulpy Franco-stylized take on the blockbuster template with a few good setpieces (like the alien shopping mall and it’s complications.) An ending regarding the plot-driving conspiracy that’s more tangible and cynical regarding warfare than another movie that was simply “gee War is bad.”

[DAJK]

The snow tonight might hurt it a tad my theatre, but Thor's matinees were spectacular here. If it isn't hurt by the snow, it'll do over our equivalent of 40M today, which is almost on par with Friday including previews.

Isn’t snow a bit unusual for this time of year in Vancouver?

 

It also snowed in parts of Tasmania yesterday. 

[Webslinger]

Snow in November isn't unheard of in the Pacific Northwest, though I'll claim American ignorance as to knowing whether Vancouver (the Canadian one, anyway) has a climate more like that of Western (i.e. Seattle) or Eastern Washington.
