They shouldn’t have cost that much. As for Bell....he can’t be that pricey. 

 

Might be, might not be... That's irrelevant. Movie will probably be profitable and we'll probably get another one next year. So, there's that.

Worldwide, Blade Runner 2049 is doing a bit better than Valerian.

 

Yay !?

 

Real high bar there

[MovieMan89]

Ragnarok followed Doctor Strange's holds this weekend pretty closely. Bodes extremely well for the multi, given TR's significantly higher preview and OD numbers. I would totally say 2.7x would happen if not for JL. Still think it could hit 2.6x though.

Well that’s one way to concede an argument. Maybe there were legit reasons why it cost that much? Because having seen it...I was

floored by that budget when researching for my review.

I consider WDAS and Pixar kind of a "team". Don't know to which point they are 100% independent one from each other, or they share writers/directors/3d animation staff... I meant other studios apart from Disney (and its brands)

John Lasseter runs both divisions essentially. He’s the cartoon czar over there. It’s why weirdly WDAS the last few years got better while Pixar declined. Why that is is a good question and hell if I know.

Go to sleep, Blanks. You'll feel better in the morning.

For the record, I don't feel better in the morning.

 

Glad Thor is doing well.

Why would it follow DS path, when it's even holding better than WW did in summer?

DS was kind of new thing, without other MCU characters for a team-up movie. Thor is 3rd entry and has other MCU known characters in it. Expectations are higher for T:R than for DS. I think it's sunday drop will be closer to WW's than DS's. 

And following WW takes T:R to 126,1M

 

This is November. Football. Work and school tomorrow. It won't drop like a summer movie.

Boo 2 cost $25m, Jigsaw at $10m can't possibly look as cheap.

2d sellout for noon today for Thor 3

 

Think will drop 30 percent at most

I feel pretty comfortable saying Guadagnino is in along with those three.

I have guadagnino at number 4, but I could easily see him getting replaced with two of Gerwig, Peele or Spielberg.

I have no idea. This seems to be the usual budget for a Saw movie. So...

It could be spot on if it increases with estimates

[Krissykins]

Huge for Thor 3! 

 

Underwhelming for Bad Moms 2 but who opens a Christmas film on the 1st of November? 

 

Thors opening makes IT’s even more impressive. Still unbelievable!

It's a year with five major superhero releases so far, and I think there's a legitimate argument one can make for each of those being the best one of the year.

 

May be a long time before we see another year like it for the genre.

When 2008 happened we thought that was the best year ever for funny book movies.  Then we thought 2012 was. Then we thought 2014 was. 

 

This is the 4th time funny books have upped the standard and they they have become exceedingly  efficient  at it.

 

 

Super hero fatigue they said. Too many cbms they said.
