[John Marston]

Yes another Mummy movie and National Treasure film with the old gangs back for each please. Uncharted and Lost City of Z shows people want fun action adventure films

It won't. If it even hits $75M I'd be surprised. 

Well, let's see if review change that come out tomorrow. Considering they're dropping this early, I argue that it's a good sign.

[SLAM!]

If adventure movies are doing this well, then perhaps it’s time to finish up that Tomb Raider sequel and market the heck out of it, your move Warner Bros 👀

YES!

 

It’s official.

 

Paramount Pictures is back!

 

2022 continues to be their comeback year as #TheLostCity and blows past expectations with a $31M opening weekend.

Good news for #SonicTheHedgehog2 in 2 weeks and #TopGunMaverick in just 2 months.

WB don't have a role in the Tomb Raider sequel I think. It's MGM, which now means Amazon.

Although it won't beat it (by any stretch of the imagination), I feel like Bob's Burgers will perform surprisingly solid against Top Gun: Maverick.

I'll throw out a Top Gun 2 prediction...TMobile runs a $4 ticket deal to bring in the teens/young adults/young adults with kids, the oldsters buy tickets b/c they've been waiting for years for this, and kids come along for the ride...

 

For the 4 day Memorial Day weekend, $60M.  Maybe even a little higher.

 

If you're gonna fly, fly high!

 

Just give me 2 hours of dog fighting and I am there opening night. I am sure there will others like me dragging their partners or older folks nostalgic and bringing their kids into it.

Top Gun - by far my most anticipated film event of the year. Feel like we’ve waited forever for it. It’ll be proper ‘make a grown man cry’ stuff for me.  Break out Take My Breath Away with Cruise on the bike and I’ll be a mess. 
Fingers crossed all of the buzz about its quality transpires. 
 

 

Great opening for Lost City. Another step towards some kind of normal resuming for the box office stateside.  Agree with others, Sonic is going to shock the industry with how big it opens.  Go Paramount.

It's now fair to say that Sandra Bullock is the biggest female box office star of the last 30+ years. Julia Roberts' peak from 1990-2000 is unmatched but Sandra's longevity gives her the edge. And obviously no one today compares. 

 

Yep. Julia hit it big about 5 years earlier, but Sandra has stayed big 20 years longer.

Look closer. Cruise has lines/slight sagging around the mouth and neck that show how his age.

LMFAO

 

I don't need to look closely LOL the dude does not look 56 years old. I'm 50 and I look older than he does. Obviously Hollywood elites have access to things that we don't but regardless of what he has access to the guy still looks amazing regardless of what age he is 

[excel1]

Cruise the person looks close to his age. Cruise in films obviously is dolled up and looks 40-45ish max.

I am sure there are some age transferring machines in the back of the Scientology HQ where younger members are sacrificed at the altar of Cruise.

Im actually expecting big things from National Treasure 3 when it will come out.

You're gonna have to be waiting for a long time (like forever) for a 3rd film to come out.

She is.

 

I feel for Julia it’s by choice that she isn’t huge anymore? She turned down The Blind Side and The Proposal, both would’ve been huge for her.
