It's a shame because it was a much better film, I really hope romcoms can make a comeback but the only one on the horizon is Isn't it Romantic and the Danny Boyle/Richard Curtis film

 

The future of romcoms is streaming. Set it Up was very buzzy for Netflix.

I said something like 135k give or take, no clue what the PTA will be

I put half that... I guess we will see.

Good number for HT3 and lower than expected for Sky. I think they are targetting 45 and 25 respectively.

The Nun is similar to what they had It pegged for 2 months out 🤔

I saw HT3 yesterday at 5:00 and loved it. Only like 25 people including me in a theatre of a capacity around 300. 

 

Going to see Skyscraper at 2:20 today. In a theatre with a capacity of 110. But it’s a nice one with recliner seats.. the only one in town. So it should sell out. If not.. eek Skyscraper.

And some people thought the box office would slow down for the rest of the year...

Can we replace the current Venom emoji with this one?

Skyscraper is mega bombing. Not even Dwayne has box office pull these days goddamn.

I thought he gave a legit great performance in Pain & Gain. The Rock's earnestness and enthusiasm + a character who's a psychopath = amazing. I remember watching Central Intelligence and wishing it had been a dark comedy too by taking his character in that direction, even if the result wouldn't have made any money. 

I almost posted the same exact thing earlier today. Incredibly underrated performance.

The days of starpower have long been in the past. The only person who can really sell anything these days, as mentioned, is Leo, but he's very selective/scarcely-seen and the projects he takes on actually feel special.

We all know that Cher + movie musical = smash hit. How did Burlesqued do again?

[Webslinger]

Honestly, I think Skyscraper's under-performance has a lot less to do with The Rock's star power than it does with how thoroughly generic the whole thing looks. They might as well have expanded the title to the redundant but probably accurate "Die Hard in a Skyscraper." 

Spoiler

Too bad its under-performance means we won't get a sequel called Bus, which could alternately have been called "Speed on a Bus."

I'm not super sold on the visual. Looks a bit amateurish compared to other F/X on CBMs.

It's the story they plan to tell that places the concept of Venom as a reality w/o there being any tie to Spider-man that has my radar up. Why would he have a semi-Spidey look if never connected to Spidey?
