don’t do this.  please.

 

Well, I don't get it.  I don't follow whatever the MRA is all about.  I'm not American so I pay little attention to it.

That's not what the urban dictionary says.  

 

Man: I believe that men's rights are just as important as women's in creating a just and equitable society. That's why I'm involved in MRA, men's rights activism.

lol whoever logged into Urban Dictionary and wrote that:

Ok, well, do we really need to spend time on what MRA might or might not stand for?  There's lots of good stuff to talk about regarding the box office.

So... is it safe to say ABBA is trash and always will be?

Remember when MRAs claimed that The Force Awakens having a "female Luke" cost Disney a whooping...$5M...due to their "boycott?" There's a box office talking point for ya!

JWFK is going to make a push for 1.3 billion. That means it will have sustained more than 80% of its audience WW.  I don't mean to keep beating a dead horse, but those who said it was a flop or even better yet a disaster, you were flat out wrong.  This is a strong franchise and I have no doubt the third one will become a member of the billion dollar club too.

Don’t worry. The next one will drop 80% or something since this got bad WOM or something

Is That Her Boyfriend?!?!?

Also Even though Force Awakens made more than JW internationally , FK will have made more than Last Jedi overseas. Nice 

[filmlover]

Watch Mamma Mia 2 follow this slightly below expectations opening with Greatest Showman-like legs lol.

 

Yeah, that won't happen, but it should still leg it out to about $125M.

Just saw what went down on deadline.

 

what the fuck just happened to Mamma Mia 2?

With the overwhelming female audience, Deadline forgot that women have lives on weekends...and tend to do "girls night out/moms night out/etc" on weeknights...

 

It seems that the audience is drawing few men, so it's not a date night movie (From Deadline's Saturday morning - "ComScore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak shows an overall 83% positive (they continually poll throughout the weekend) with women making up 83% of the crowd with 48% females over 25 and 36% females over 25")...

 

Equalizer did better splitting audience ("Pic’s final demos on PostTrak were 58% male, 42% female with men over 25 repping 40% of all moviegoers and women over 25 turning out at 28%), so even though it still drew more men, it had the much better Saturday...
