I really wonder who s gonna be the next Batman.

Jake won't take it, he always refused funny book movies so maybe a newcommer I guess.

Was Armond guy a mother! fan ?

He said the movie demolished millennial society and an Hillary Clinton era bad movie:

 

After destroying the prelapsarian world in Noah, indie director Darren Aronofsky has returned to his formula. In his sensationalized allegory Mother! Aronofsky sends a nameless woman (Jennifer Lawrence) through a gauntlet of masochistic paranoia, blames modern male chauvinism, and then demolishes Millennial society. 

 

.....

 

Instead, White and Aronofsky, in their upscale locales, indulge the bourgeois insecurity and self-protective envy that link conservatives and liberals of a particular class. Empathy and moral consciousness are what’s missing from both movies. Until these kinds of entertainment are recognized for what they are — and refused — the Hollywood Left will always win the culture war.

On the bright side, JL's OD can still beat Valerian's DOM total. Let's not lose hope! 

That god Ninjago DOM is safe 

[AndyK]

I don't know what JL is going to do, but I'm betting on 250 pages for the WE thread.

Wow, I wonder (no joke intended) if "Wonder" could pull off what "Devil Wears Prada" did up against "Superman Returns" .

Based on these estimates, the notion is that Justice League could fly to a $110M-$115M start and a possible $37M-$40M Friday.

Or even what Julia Roberts' own My Best Friend's Wedding did against Batman & Robin 20 years ago (the former opened with half of what the latter made and ended up outgrossing it by a solid $20M). Obviously that scenario won't actually happen, but Wonder will definitely be the much bigger success story.

[Noctis]

My ass it's going to hit $110m-$115m with a $37m Friday.

[The Futurist]

So next year should be, box office wise, domestic :

 

1. Avengers & the Purple Alien from Outter Space

2. Cesspool 2

3. Black Cat

4. Aquabruh

5. Insects, Insects everywhere !!!

6. The Jlaw Superhero Movie

7. The Witch, Part Deux

8 . Poison

Going to be really interesting - and certainly surprising - when the top 5 films worldwide of 2017 have only 1 superhero film. (SW8, BATB, FF8, DM3 being the first 4).

And even more shocking that it may end up being Thor and not Guardians nor JL. 

1 seem to really be the norm post 2012 and standard for expected one to miss the mark, Superhero's movie iby year n the top 5:

 

2017:1

2016:1 

2015:1

2014:1

2013:1

2012:2

2011:0

2010:0

2009:0

2008:2 (one of those being Hancock, not Iron Man)

 

When looked like that (a very arbitatry cut-off and probably bad metric to use), the superheroes domination/saviors of the industry/etc... does not look has impressive under that metric, 9 top 5 in the 10 year's since the Dark Knight/Iron Man era started the latest modern post SpiderMan big era.

 

Young adult popular book adaptation in comparison

2017:0

2016:0

2015:0

2014:1, 2(if we count The Hobbit I am not sure)

2013:1, 2(if we count The Hobbit I am not sure)

2012:0,1 (if we count The Hobbit I am not sure)

2011:2

2010:1

2009:1

2008:0

 

6 without the Hobbit, 9 with them (like superheroes)

 

 

 

[GambitPool]

See. They should've switched Steppenwolf for Pennywise. 200+ million opening weekend confirmed.

Yeaaahhh, that's barely higher than what The Amazing Spider-Man 2 made in its first day. More like $95-100M at best.

Explain insects for me? And poison?

Or $40m for that matter.  $105m would be the best case scenario for it.

I was just speaking about heroes with pyjamas movies.

 

Poison is Venom.

 

Insects is Ant Man & the Wasp
