Why are ppl arguing with IronJimbo lmao

Did you know Jim lived in his car when he wrote The Terminator. Just like his cyborg killer, Cameron would stop at nothing to complete his mission?

I hate making an egregious typo, look at that little "edited by" bar under my post. Unsightly

 

Wow where did it go

Is that why we're still actively talking about how forgotten it is more than 8 years after its release on pretty much a weekly basis?

 

That's because IronJimbo can't stop talking about it

 

I don't want to imagine how crazy he'll be when Avatar 2 comes

If you say so. 

 

Everyone saw you get dragged.

Hmm....

 

Does anybody think BP might go up with actuals when it comes to it’s 3-day weekend?

[WrathOfHan]

Jimbo was snubbed for funniest user. He would've had my vote, but now I have to vote for Pink yet again

Who would have thought!

[junkshop36]

Fantastic OW for BP!!!

 

Thought about seeing it today but when I looked at the show times for my local AMC they were all about sold out! I’ll have to wait till Wednesday or Thursday. 

 

Jumanji and TGS keep rolling along

WB jokes always been lame. A decade ago Batman was doing unthinkable numbers, the major studios all have their days..

WB has 5 of the monthly OW records, it's not like they're Paramount and even Sony outside of Jumanji and Spider-Man hasn't done so hot. Only a few months ago, IT smashed the September record and American Sniper's OW record has yet to be challenged.

The notion that the general audience disliked Wonder Woman, when it made 4 times its opening weekend result (something no other 100 million+ opener has ever achieved), is absolutely, utterly STUPID, to say the least.

Agreed, BP's OW is incredible but you can't discredit that Wonder Woman had a fantastic run and both Disney and WB will be very happy with their respective superhero films have done but both landed in the zeitgest and I think we shouldn't be pitching them against each other.

Agree that May 2021 is the perfect time to unleash Black Panther 2. 2020 should be GOTG 3, Doctor Strange 2 and maybe a new character/team (Fantastic Four, I'd guess?).

 

Btw, rundown of the MCU's biggest opening weekends:

 

01. The Avengers - 207 million

02. Black Panther - 195-200 million

03. Avengers: Age Of Ultron - 191 million

04. Captain America: Civil War - 179 million

05. Iron Man 3 - 174 million

06. Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 - 146 million

07. Iron Man 2 - 128 million

08. Thor: Ragnarok - 122 million

09. Spider-Man: Homecoming - 117 million

10. Iron Man - 98 million

 

An almost entirely 100 million openers-only top 10. And the non-100 million opener was a 98 million opener. AND Infinity War will make it an all 100 million top 10 either way. I'm no asskisser of anyone, but what Kevin Feige has accomplished w/this franchise really is masterful.

May 1st 2021 is a given unless Marvel goes for February 2021. I suspect WB or another studio will lock February 12th 2021 for a superhero film.

With China over $500m, Domestic at $270m and BP overseas $170m, is it reasonable to suggest we may have just had the first ever (pretty sure) $1b worldwide weekend at the box office! 

 

EDIT:

China had $505m with pretty much no hollywood films

Domestic has $270m

BP overseas $170m

that's already $945m

 

Looking further (http://deadline.com/2018/02/black-panther-fifty-shades-freed-monster-hunt-2-detective-chinatown-2-weekend-results-international-box-office-1202293876/), we have $11m from Maze Runner overseas, Showman $9.6m, Jumanji $4.8m, Shape of Water $12.3m, Coco $6.8m. Those bring us up to $990m, since Fifty Shades made ~$12m on Friday overseas, I'd say that confirms that we reached $1 billion in just ONE WEEKEND!!

So does Marvel or DC get a movie about a Chinese superhero out first? The race begins

[That One Girl]

Annihilation is honestly the most hyped I've been for a movie in a while.  fuck I can't believe it's almost here.  soooo excited.
