still a chance for under 250M, plz save my club thanks

You know superheroes are in Ralph 2, so technically it doesn’t count.

[75Live]

Just finished WiR2 and I really enjoyed it.

 

Now waiting for Creed 2 to start

[MrGlass2]

Imagine going back to 1993 and predicting that in 25 years the box office would be nothing but superhero sequels and remakes of Disney cartoons.

No. The problem is that Widows was marketed as an Oscar movie and not marketed as the heist movie that it actually is. Widows should have been marketed as "From the writer of Gone Girl," or alluded more to the heist part of the actual movie. Not marketed the way it was. 

 

That will change from market to market and what you watch on TV so we could be both right here, but my exposure I had for the marketing of that movie (the only TV I watch are live sports event) and from my local radio, that how it was marketed.

 

They said from the Gone Girl and even pushed with a Gone Girl like twist in the radios ads I heard.

 

Look at the most common TV spot around 15/16s:

From Gillian Flynn the writer of Gone Girl was there and they used a trailer guy action movie big voice.

 

Has for the heist movie that it actually is, the percentage of screen time of actual heist footage isn't really that big, no classic heist montage either.

[Curtis1986]

So I'm guessing Stallone is writing the script for Creed 3 as we speak.

[JGAR4LIFE]

Creed 2 was complete hype. It may not have the same critical reception as it’s predecessor (by what, only 2-3% less on rotten tomatoes?) but the fights are nostalgic and only to be seen in cinemas. 

[TwoMisfits]

On The Green Book, I agree the marketing was bad.  I have not watched this movie, but from the trailer, my sense was this movie was Driving Miss Daisy-esque for kindergartners.  From the trailers only, I, a grown adult, felt like it was both so obvious and so unbelievably pious in equal turns.  Now, maybe the movie itself is spectacular...but nothing about the campaign caused me to want to actually see it...

 

PS - For the poster who mentioned that FB2 had a great campaign - you're right...I was all in for buying a ticket til I saw those early sneak reviews, and then I backed off hard...

Might see Front Runner or Green Book this Tuesday. Ralph next week, and Robin Hood if it comes to the theatre where I can see it for free.

After the huge success of TFA and RO, imagine the reaction then if anybody had predicted that a movie about Han Solo (one of the most beloved characters) would lose worldwide to a film about a giant shark.

 

At least sharks have been big in the past. 

 

Solo lost to a film adaptation of the Rampage video game.

That's why Nolan should be protected at all costs.Has any other director post-2010 given us 3 blockbusters based on an original script.

[Napoleon]

It's no surprise that box office is full of surprises every year

[RichWS]

Mom, Sis and I have selected Creed II as our Thanksgiving flick. Other discussed option was Green Book, but I feel good about the pick.

Doubly sad going by the non superhero non-cartoon-remakes that year.

Was going to see Ralph with the family but we had to leave 10 minutes in, there were massive sound issues with the theater. I know theaters are supposed to be loud, it's kind of its thing, but the film was blastingly loud, ear-drum popping almost. Our theater has never EVER been that loud.

 

Will still see it this weekend, but Jesus

Problem is liberal Hollywood and critics live in their bubble where they can smell their own farts and feel comfortable about themselves.

 

Audiences are getting more and more put off and tired by all these naive and childish movies vomited by the Hills, with their lame political agendas.

 

Hence pathetic numbers for Oscar movies this year, that s why they will nominate BP.

They will give all the oscars to Cuaron for a movie 800 000 people wil have seen in a movie theater.
