All this in good fun everyone, and I know you were expecting this reaction so I had to deliver.  =)

I mean.. it's all in good fun in my end but I dunno seems pretty real feud with the mods, you don't have a purple name now either.

 

If you're so good at box office how much is Avatar 2 going to make, I'll put you on record and remind you how bad your foresight is without relying on inside info.

A lot of kids like it, it’s basically their Spongebob.

I like the show. 

 

But the trailer was a new level of low brow.

 

And parents typically stay away from a kids tv cartoon adaptations: Power Puff Girls or My Little Pony.

When a Star Wars movie opens, arguments about Marvel ensue. DC fans speculate about a Snyder cut.

Life truly is a vicious circle.

I thought we weren't supposed to bring those two letters up. Otherwise I would have expected a lot more to be said. Like fair criticism not outright bashing.

Yeah after being burned on AOU and CW, it was reasonable to be leery. 

And it's still reasonable. We just don't have solid data points and it's all open to interpretation right now. Over 200 openers are still pretty uncharted territory.

I FEEL PRETTY held up very well.

Looks like Friday revised up to 106.5M also

On another note, anyone else who thinks Infinity War has the best MCU soundtrack? Like, the stuff from the GOTG movies is very good and movies like Thor: Ragnarok or Iron Man also had solid music, but Silvestri really nailed this one.

It was pretty great, yes. Love the music when Cap shows up, and the music that plays over the credits, wow.

I agree with you and wasn't the plan originally to put Leia as the center of Ep IX. 

And well as she died *sad* I have no idea who they want to put in the center apart from Rey and Kylo.

 

 

No idea what is planned. I really think they have to bring Luke back in a big role and devote a lot more time to the Luke/Rey relationship. Add Yoda in too.

He did incredible with this one. 

 

His score for TA1 wasn’t his best but he absolutely nailed the Avengers theme. It’s an iconic theme now.

I think the complaint was that it wasnt better received than BP.

Winter Soldier is below SMH, GotG2, and Thor 3.

 

It happens.

 

Certain movies click better with critics.

[HouseOfTheSun]

All those people thinking TFA was operating at a virtual maximum at the box office it’s OW.

Nah, simply reminding people that on the biggest Saturday of all time on the biggest opening weekend of all time that someone who mods on a box office analysis site saw fit to call worthless and a joke and take away that precious purple color gifted them with a pinpoint accurate to the fucking digit prediction before anyone else.  

 

Same as saying weeks ago that $225m was the floor and by that time it virtually had the record locked up.  

 

Don't tell me I don't know box office!!

 

You told us Wonder Woman was "borderline mess" and Justice League was "Fine".

 

You might know box office but you know jack shit about what constitutes a good movie.

Yeah. Great stuff. Noticed the music in the end credits too. It was just really somber music!

How could he know that without even seeing a trailer or any public reaction? At least choose a film that has some type of marketing campaign already. That's just a wild guess which anyone could make based off the past.
