It wasn't a review I think. that was what the studio was selling it as in interviews.

oh  so BS like "it's a full story cos thanos is the lead" or how all the thor ragnarok interviews they were talking about it like it was the first ever funny superhero movie. these weirdos.

AMATW was way more of a rom-com than DP2. The first DP was 100% a rom-com dragged up as superhero action movie. The second, not so much.

First one = first DP

Overboard did 90m !

Home again got close to 3.3 legs with a 33% RT score.

 

IS the next Lopez movie one ? (Does not seem to have much romantic element in trailer), because that could be ultimate classic one and give a good idea where the genre is.

Yeh the original poster mentioned the three flops though. That’s why I replied, commenting that 3 misses in a row means it’s probably time to stop. 

 

I think Lone Survivor was before them?

It's all about the sucess to failure ratio,and One hit to three failures is not very good.

I am sure the director's fanboys wlll try to put a good spine on it, but Mile 22 is a fail at the box office, it might break even, that's the vest you can hope for. And any chances of a sequel or DOA.

It was partly set in a high school! They played some 80's music in the background! It's exactly like a John Hughes movie!

It felt more like a John Hughes movie. Hell Jumanji felt more like a John Hughes movie than SMHC

Let's not forget that Billionaire Boys Club a movie with Taran Edgerton, Ensel Egort and Kevin Spacey made $126 dollars last night

My sold out audience for Crazy Rich Asians this afternoon was at least 2/3 old white people.

 

Movie is a total crowdpleaser. No way it doesn't have great legs.

I wouldn't be shocked if it cracks $100m domestically. 

[boxofficeth]

With weak competition in the next two weeks CRA and CR should be able to crawl past 100M. 

[The Futurist]

The Dark Knight is a rom com.

The two main characters are constantly testing the love of their significant other, rom com writing 101 really.
