If I watch the Oscars it'll just be out of habit and to see James Ivory win for CMBYN and Deakins either win or lose again.

Dreamworks capitalising off that Oscar nom and got to work quick

1. Why?

2. That animation is TERRIBLE

3. Whoever they got to replace Baldwin and Kudrow have terrible impersonations of them

4. Plot-wise, this doesn't even make any sense. The Boss Baby decides to become a normal baby at the end of the movie. WHY WOULD HE GO BACK TO TALKING???

They're doing a Captain Underpants series this year too.

 

And that HTTYD show just aired its eighth and final season.

lol at their already low predictions for Rampage going significantly lower this week. If that completely bombs can we officially say RIP to the video game movie genre? Cause if even Dwayne Johnson can't make it work...

Original Tomb Raider was a video game and hit...technically Angry Birds as an App game is another one (over $350M on $73M budget is pretty awesome)...hits are there to be made, if anyone gives a da$n to figure out what in that game inspired the love for the game and can be turned into a workable flick...

That’s too bad. It was an awful movie in my opinion. I just couldn’t get why a woman would sleep with a fish. She was relatively easy (desperate) too.  Love is love, I guess.

This is a boon for conspiracy theorists. This is what makes people believe in conspiracy theories. Whole world is a ticking bomb, ready to explode at any time.

Not a lot of fish in the sea.

A $60-63m initial projection should mean we get 70m+ if it goes up the way it has the last two weekends.

They're both kind of childlike innocents/outcasts so it was less jarring than I thought it would be.

Also she's literally a fish-lady herself -- albeit one who looks almost entirely human.

Atomic Sparrow wont hit 20M. Do we know how Game Night is holding up?

Here in New England today, it's really blustery outside. Not sure it'll affect box office business, but it's noticeable. It's supposed to be like that all weekend as well.  

 

Lots of power outages in the Northern Virginia/DC/Maryland area.

Waiting RTH  but I’m not optimistic with Panther . Good night 😴

Was April 26 just recently. A complete anomaly for a major Hollywood release to be released three months later than in the States, only really happens with awards contenders. It'll 100% be available to pirate by that point too. I wonder if they're low-key trying to purge it from the schedule entirely in the end. 

I had thought they were originally scheduled at the same time.  I'm glad they aren't, although I'm not happy RS is pushed back so far it will clearly have been leaked already.

Well, Russians aren't presented very well in it either to be honest, but you are right

Three of the four sympathetic characters in the movie are Russian.  The GOVERNMENT isn't presented very well....

 

Saw it, loved it, and am much more confident the number it will end the weekend with will start with a '$2'.  I missed my show last night so I went to an afternoon show today - at 1pm.  I don't usually go to those, but are they usually full when it isn't a holiday?  Part of the entertainment was watching this one guy who clearly didn't have a real ticket getting bounced from his seat about eight times by people who did have tickets, each time having to move closer to the screen, until he ended up in the corner of the front row.

 

When I left, the manager was talking to the ushers about how the crowd and been, and whether it should be moved to a bigger screen.

 

All in all, a very satisfactory screening experience!
