Never forget how swapping a face can make your wife not immediately recognize it happened even though her husband is now 3 inches shorter and 30 pounds lighter.

Even some other parts of the body might be off by an inch or two.

And here we go.

 

Not surprisingly, the numbers are going up.

 

Variety says $45m/$115m for Thor.

 

$23m 5D for Bad Moms 2.

Now that makes far more sense. Thats close to SS multi. I am still hoping the numbers go up further but 45/115 would be great in itself

That depends on which 3 inches.

For me Ultron is one of the most underrated Marvel movies. It's got some really good moments anyway.

On the one hand, same, but on the other, his work is such high quality I don't want him to compromise it by working more.

 

(Also, I think he's slowed down his output so he can spend more time with his family, which is a good thing IMO.)

I'll say I think Face / Off isn't one of his better scores, since it was so earlier on in his career. Also we have Han Solo to look forward to at least. Hopefully he knocks that score out of the park. 

 

Also I'm off to see Ragnarok soon.

I do like me the comic book films and such.  But man I wish someone made a movie like Face/Off these days.   Thing is it would likely be a bomb today.  But it's so batshit crazy

Closer to SM's.  SS multi was nearer to 6.5.   It was summer and it had it had that free ticket promo for Thur night only.

 

Still, SM was summer.  Even GOTG2 - a sequel with a much bigger preview number had a higher preview to w/e multi than GOTG 1.   8.61 v 8.4

I meant the preview to OD multi of SS not the preview to OW one. SS had preview to OD multi of 3.16. With the same multi Thor does 46m OD. 45 million OD, as Variety is saying, gives Thor a preview to OD multi of 3.1 which is very close to SS. SMH preview to OD multi will give Thor a 48 million OD

Three inches shorter there and she'd have immediately alerted the police and the media.

I think it would still do well. Movies like that can still be very successful at the BO.

SS's previews were front loaded because of the free ticket promo usable only on Thur.  And it was summer - so no school on Friday,

A big stylish action film with two of the biggest stars might still pull comparative numbers.  

[JohnnyGossamer]

45, eh? It will go up a bit more. Probably ends up close to 50.

[RthDeadWov]

Could see it doing Variery number , i had it 44-46 see how it goes

[B D Joe]

I saw Thor Ragnorak.  Marvel's three movies this year are better than anything they released in 2016 or 2015.

Thanks.

I hope that goes up to 50.

The appeal of Face/Off was also that it was an acting exercise of the kind basically never seen in an action movie, with two genuine movie stars unafraid to go big. We don't really have anyone quite like that today. I'm sure Tom Hardy and Michael Shannon would nail the (over)acting part just as well but they wouldn't get general audiences in seats just by themselves.

A 2017 Face/Off would probably be The Rock and Kevin Hart tbh
