US WEEKEND THREAD: Record 70.25 OW (highest grossing OW for an original horror)

[JohnnyGossamer]

Why isn't it that dude banned yet?

[cdsacken]

It's already at 900+ right now and has at least 150+ more to go (granted it will stay at 7). Thor 3 was seen as a success and CM will outgross it by 200+ million.

Doesn't the N.I.R.D concept apply here...I mean, I just skip the posts and reply (and like) folks who have more valuable content:)...(like you all could have done in last weekend's thread for my Wonder Park review that helped explain it not falling off a cliff this weekend - totally starting my "MVP poster for kid movies" campaign right here:)...

 

As for why he's still here, I don't think the board normally bans for being totally wrong, or even trolling, as long as you don't do it over and over...they normally go after poster-to-poster action...

I am starting to wonder if they will release some Marvel movies over X-Mas.

 

Like I dont think Aquaman would have done a billion in Nov for example

You're right, Aquaman would not have made 1 billion in November, it would make $ 1,150 billion.

 

If Aquaman had hit the billion "only" because it was released in December, Bumblebee would have to made 1 billion as well, Bumblebee was a far more recognized character by the international audience than Aquaman was.

I would think you were right but I got thread banned right after I joined for way less. Promoting unconfirmed conspiracy theories seems like blatant trolling to me what do I know?

Nothing wrong with being wrong. I thought US would max at 60, I wasn't even close with my high 50s prediction (originally 48 before the crazy prebuzz tracking showed that was impossible).

I got thread banned a few months back cause I posted a joke regarding Aquaman’s “drop” on a certain day during the weekend. Sometimes through text it’s hard to see who’s joking and who’s not. What I’m trying to say is no hard feelings and it happens 

 

Also it depends on the mod watching and also whether the poster is even worth it. They also maybe waiting for him/her to continue on with the behavior (if it’s something that they routinely do) so they can just permaband them as opposed to thread banning them everytime they troll.

Chinese audiences pretty much rejecting Bohemian Rhapsody. A country with taste 

Its 9.5 on Maoyan. Just that release is limited. BR is  though.

So the new theory now after the Disney paychecks to critics is that Disney is buying entire screens to make Captain Marvel look like a success? Oh man I can totally enter that train because why the fuck not.

I’m actually saying your opinion has value. 

yes I know you were giving me a compliment LOL and as soon as I hit send I had a feeling that my words would be misconstrued. I definitely appreciate the kind words buddy. I just meant to say that I get why other people are liking it but for me it just didn't work.

This is going to be remembered as the first LGBT theme film with massive mainstream success.   

 

The highest grossing LGBT film, was previously held by Imitation Game(which feature very little LGBT content).

Total Lifetime Grosses

Domestic:	$215,904,214	24.3%
+ Foreign:	$673,221,476	75.7%
= Worldwide:	$889,125,690

 

The empowerment of LGBT nowadays is getting wider spread! 

Neither does Bohemian Rhapsody... It does show more than The Imitation Game,  in that a whole two m/m kisses are more than zero, but neither really says much. I mean, if a Sam Smith biopic was that chaste there would be fewer objections, but this is Freddie Mercury, the approach was pretty sexless even for a PG-13 movie. BR gave audiences the Queen concert experience that they wanted and it's made tons of money, it's won a bunch of awards by giving people feels about old songs they already liked, that's more than enough success for it. Now there's talk of trying to lower the rating of the Elton John biopic by cutting out some gay sexual content, so great job Bohemian Rhapsody for setting the example, so empowering!

Did you not like US because you hoped for a more traditional horror type movie and it fell of the mark? I'm so confused as to if I will like this film or not haha.

Infinitely sad for the Dragon franchise. 

 

Opened high and not even going to beat the 2nd. Not even going to beat Boss Baby. 

 

Sigh.

It literally had a 29% drop this weekend.... If it continues this well it might go past HTTYD2 in the end.

Be cool if M. Night contributed a Twilight Zone to Peele's series reboot.
