OncomingStorm93 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I'm so glad I'll have this film to point to when I explain why I think Bohemian Rhapsody was very, very, incredibly overrated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 This is selling like crazy around here. Honestly think $35M+ is in play at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went to the preview night two weekends ago, I was pretty much the only person in the theatre under the age of 50. Isn't Florida the retirement capital of the US? Might be skewing a little stronger there. That being said, I'd be thrilled with such a performance and am hoping for more. 40+ would be wonderful.

JB33 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Looking forward to this more and more every day! It'll be tough to top Bohemian Rhapsody but who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieMan89 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) With these reviews this should have been moved to Oscar season. Especially with November being so dead this year. Has both a worse chance at its multi and a higher shot of being overlooked for awards season in this release spot. Dumb move.

maxalcamo Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 How is doing in the non anglophone countries? Here in italy it's doing very bad, it should make around 1M-1.2M with 500 copies, really a lot of copies. Yesterday it got a screen avereae of 248 euros, this means more than half empty screens or even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Reynolds Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 there was not enough gay stuff in this, must of been easy to censor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AN9815 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I watched this the other day and it was pretty solid. Has more quality than Bohemian Rhapsody but this last one feels more like a crowd pleaser. Really didn't understand the controversy with the gay scenes, like do those scenes really create that amount of controversy? People are stupid.

Boxx93 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 As an Elton John fan myself, I really, really liked this movie. I hope Egerton gets a best actor nom cause' this is suberb job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Lol at people discovering just now Egerton was a fantastic talent. He oozed talent and charisma in the first Kingsmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 This movie stole my heart ! Can't believe how beautifully the Mother-Father-son relationship was portrayed in this movie. Elton John s parents are portrayed in this movie with such humanity empathy understanding nuance I knew Elton John had a big heart but I couldn't imagine he was so full of love and acceptance. What a tolerant man ! You wouldn't want to be full of resentment in your 70's, that would be very sad. Go Elton ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebeccas Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 This is going into Comedy/Musical at the Globes probably given it's actually a song and dance musical so I would say an almost guaranteed GG win for Taron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
