AndyK Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Goit to see Darkest Hour tonight. Great movie, but weird thing....nobody got up at the end, I mean nobody. Everybody sat through the end credits.

BD2's run of $830m WW in 2D was a huge accomplishment. It was the 34th biggest film of all time worldwide when BD2 finished its run. The success of Twilight was very impressive, as were the Hunger Games films (which were all 2D only domestically). I'm still amazed that the first two Hunger Games films made as much as they did in North America. Catching Fire was the #10 highest-grossing film domestically until 2015 and still the 3rd biggest 2D-only opening weekend.

MovieMan89 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 The Hunger Games' DOM success is pretty crazy. Both of the first two beat every Potter film in admissions except the first. If they hadn't taken a book no one wanted or asked to be split into two films, MJ may have done 400 as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually very surprised that Catching Fire increased from The Hunger Games. Typically, sequels to a $400+ million grossing film decline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hunger Games was everywhere in 2012 and 2013 m. It was an event. And also kind of a fad in a way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In France, 50 Shades has no restriction of age whatsoever, not even a warning. Anybody can see it, kids and all. Bottom line, 50 Shades is considered as offensive as a Disney movie in France.

Webslinger Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I would say that the first two 50 Shades movies felt tame, but "clinical" would be a more accurate adjective. I suppose they're graphic enough to hit an R by the MPAA's metrics, but not a one of them ever feels all that hot; you can definitely tell that both actors are just going through the motions. As all of us pretentious know-it-alls were saying when the first 50 Shades installment opened three years ago, the little-seen Secretary did it better: better character development, better depiction of BDSM, way better acting (Maggie Gyllenhaal should have landed an Oscar nomination, and James Spader was pretty good in it as well), better and more nuanced recognition of its characters' psychological scars and how kink acts as an outlet that opens the door for them to address said scars, and a way better ending that delivers earned catharsis for the titular protagonist. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I went to see Fifty Shades Freed last night after dinner and drinks and it was better than the last film. Still silly with unintentional laughs but the leads are likeable. I prefer the Fifty Shades films to the Twilight ones, easily. Even if Darker is a 4/10 and Freed is a 5/10. The Twilight sequels were all abominations, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different reactions in France though, they’re much more laid back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still find it to be one of the most disappointing runs ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCKillswitch123 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Not great to come in under 40M. Although it could've been a worse drop, all things considered. That being said, it's still more than Blade Runner 2049's OW and over 2x Paddington 2's 4-day opening Edited February 11, 2018 by MCKillswitch123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
