JL should have been one of the all time slam dunks instead

 

It's total is gonna end up looking like what should've been its opening weekend in an alternate universe. A truly epic fail.

Did funny and colorful Justice League reach grimdark Batman v Superman's opening weekend numbers already?

LOTR has been condemned to television.

 

Batman and Superman movies will continue long after we're dead.

 

I guess that's what happen when you have multiple classic villians and story arcs...

 

Or when your classic archetypes transcend pop culture and become modern mythology. 

 

Don't mess with the timeless icons, Dildo Waggins.

Wolf Warrior 2 made money in China because it is a jingoistic China fuck yeah nationalist movie. It will bomb in South Korea and Japan.

Now I want to watch it for the analysis...and Donnie Yen is a god.

Again as the laws of most sequels. JL suffered the for the sins of the last movie(s). BVS not being well liked hurt this amongst audiences and reviews didn’t help.

Great opening for CMBYN.

Good for Darkest Hour; it's on par with The Danish Girl IIRC

[YM!]

Good but not great for Coco

[MCKillswitch123]

Blah. Bring the old numbers back!

It's also in the same area as The Theory of Everything and Loving (previous November Focus awards hopefuls that opened in the $40K PTA range). If it becomes a Best Picture contender it could mirror the performance of The Theory of Everything (or at least Victoria & Abdul).

Looks like it was a down Friday from previous years. Every movie did less than projected.

Lego Justice League WW > Justice League WW???

Darkest Hour could end up being this decade's The Last King of Scotland. A Best Actor winner, not nominated for anything else, with a less than $20m domestic take.

Phantom Thread is getting very good reactions from the first screening, but it's going to go nowhere without a BP nomination. The movie is around 2:30 (!) and veeeeeeery slow.

A PTA is never slow, get this.

I still have it in my predictions for Best Picture (albeit in last place), Cinematography, and Score, but yeah.

Sadly No. Lego Cinematic Universe is dead and with no international appeal either.

Inherent Vice has amazing pacing/editing. It's what I imagine being baked feels like in the same way the last day as a wiseguy sequence in Goodfellas is what I imagine being coked out of one's mind feels like.
