I’m watching The Florida Project now. I don’t know what to think so far but it’s entertaining! I mean it’s interesting. Anyone else seen it?

You'll be really disappointed to find out he's getting his own trilogy.

 

Considering directors and people have been getting fired left and right for SW, to suggest this a done deal or that these will be as remotely as popular as these films is absurd.

I mean, the film definitely has flaws and it’s not my favorite Star Wars film. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna throw Rian Johnson off the boat 

Feel like firing him off at hyperspace at  a Star Destroyer lol (I am joking or am I? )

Did you enjoy it? I noticed it made a lot of critics top 10 lists.

Which seems fitting since it barely managed to break it as it was. 

 that's one way to put it. you kinda make it sound unflattering. given the unexpectedly massive break-out, i think it deserved to hold the record for a longer time. it was a feat bigger than TA's and TFA's imo. i hope FK can beat AOU's ow.

Right now TLJ is beating JUMANJI by 100%. Next FSS could be closer (though not close at all). Thinking 60 vs 40. -12.5% for TLJ and +20% for JUMANJI. The following couple of weekends (or more) too TLJ should beat JUMANJI. I wonder if JUMANJI will be one of those big films that never hit number 1. Could even do 250 dom without hitting the top stop. SING was one such film thanks to RO.

Rian will not be fired, everyone in Disney / LucasFilm loved work with him and loved what he made in TLJ, that's why they gave him a entire trilogy.

 

Also some people is getting fired from the franchise because they not match with Disney / LucasFilm vision for those movies, Rian do exactly what they wanted [officially pass the touch for the new generation, expand the horizon of what they can do in the future, eliminate the 1st generation], so it's hard to believe they will blame Rian for the controversial reception, i mean, it's not like he direct the movie without any guidance or rules. Also they probably knew some people will not like the changes they're made and the directions they're decided to follow.

I enjoyed it. It was definitely one of the most ghetto ladies I’ve ever seen haha but the kids were hilarious! As with many indie films I’m not sure about the conclusion (without spoilers, don’t know when this came out). I was entertained that’s for sure. It’s hard to believe people live like that.

Those are the reasons I loved TLJ. What a bold and subversive film. Too bad it probably won't have the legs to beat Avatar.

Above Avengers and below TFA 😂

 

But seriously, still too early to see its legs I think since December movies can have some crazy ones. Extremely rare for a December movie to fall below 3x, which should put if over Titanic.

[lilmac]

I'm content with #3. Would like to see a "7" as the first number in its gross.

It’s very indie, as in nothing really happens. I like about 1 in 100 movies like that (Lost in Translation is another). I just found the shockingly ghetto nature of the movie rather hilarious and since I was entertained at least I enjoyed it. But I didn’t think it was brilliant. I could live 1,000 years and never understand how it’s even possible that people could compare a well done big budget blockbuster where every shot is gorgeous to something like that. There’s room in the market for both types of movies, to be sure, but if you make a top 10 list and put low rent movies ahead of Guardians 2, Star Wars, and Wonder Woman... yeah I won’t ever “get it.” I get The Post or Hostiles or another fully professionally made film in there but I’m not much of a slice of life indie kind of guy...
