@Charlie Jatinder I happen to have a lot of money riding on Annabelle Comes Home and Midsommar -- Care to share their numbers? FML will thank you! 😉

How do getting early numbers help you if you already have money riding? I mean in couple of hours you will have actuals anyways.

Going to the movies is more communal than anything akin to going sport games and what not. It's why bars are filled on Sundays for NFL.

 

And comedies are hilarious when you are laughing with other people rather than a weirdo alone in your room. 

Well, last few years showed that people prefer to be alone weirdos than communal

Tarantino has been over for some time now. He has nothing new or interesting left to say.

From what I think, Cinemascore consider factors like "whether the candidate will buy/rent dvd/blu ray" which I think aren't many for horror and adult films. So there score is usually lower.

Hateful 8/Jackie Brown got B's, could be the average score for a DiCaprio release.

@Charlie Jatinder Getting the numbers won't help with the actual bets, it'll help me have peace of mind for 8 extra hours! Even if that peace of mind is knowing I lost lots of money well hey, it's still knowing.

[ban1o]

did FFH ever get a cinemascore?

To be fair, Age of Ultron is the highest-grossing disappointment of all time.

It depends on what's disappointing about it.

 

Endgame was a pretty damn disappointing movie.

Cinemascore grades for select DiCaprio releases

"The Wolf of Wall Street" - C

"Shutter Island" - C+

"The Great Gatsby " - B

 

Box office legs of those films were OK.

Wolf were even on the really good side, B isn't really telling one way or an other, considering the movie pace would tend to go in the good side or at least could have been easily lower, but audience could have been still on the Tarantino fans heavy side considering how high it seem to have been thursday.

It was to me, but not BO wise, that was and is simply interesting to follow, as I do not care who is #1 or #2.

Oh for fucks sake.

 

 

 

Like, literally.  For.  Fucks.  Sake.

 

(It's about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for the record)

This is so so sooooo dumb.  It's one thing for a board to have a spoiler policy to protect fellow forum users.  It's whole 'nother thing for a studio to go to a major press outlet and say DON'T TALK ABOUT OUR FILM!!!!

 

Do they realize how silly and futile that is?  Trying to pull a Crying Game nowadays just doesn't fly. It barely flew back in the 90s in traditional media.  Now in this ultra interconnected age it just looks hella stupid.

 

And it's not like the article in question wasn't very respectful.  The headline was clear and concise without any clickbait.  There was a major spoiler warning AND major spoiler space.  It was as respectful as could be.

 

Even if someone accidentally stumbled upon it via an aggregator it's very unlikely to have spoiled anything.

 

Just dumb dumb dumb dumb.  Glad to see Vox and A.V. Club sticking to their guns here.

He's the reason this is happening, right?
