Saw Mamma Mia 2 in a soldout theater.  I cried, I think I’ll have to go again.

How can you resist?

Mamma Mia is going to have fabulous legs.  Grandmas dancing in their seats and all of the mothers came out talking about how great it was and how they all cried.

 

my grandma left the theater saying she’ll have to go see it again.

Skyscraper is going to barely make over $60M at this rate (cause another ugly drop is coming with Mission: Impossible next weekend). Yeesh.

 

Terrific for the top two. Any studio executive who says or thinks that "musicals are hard sells" should see all of these recent successes and realize they are dead wrong.

Of Denzel's 11 releases over the past decade, only two of them have opened below $22M. Everybody else wishes they had that level of consistency.

I’m looking forward to Anna and the Apocalypse.

With James Gunn’s situation, you shouldn’t be posting that shit anyway. So he’s being punished the right away. 

 

Now it would be interesting how Guardians 3 will do.

Right. There's nothing funny about pedo jokes, ever. 

[La Binoche]

Does A Star Is Born really qualify as a musical? The characters don't break into song mid-speech. They're musicians/artists performing songs onstage.

The Rock in few months has had: a mega hit, a solid hit and a bomb....as usual star power is used when it's convenient..

 Denzel is the man. Hope that 13.5 go up to 14 million.
