Feels like it could be mega trash though. And Morbius isn't exactly Venom to begin with.

I know, that was a joke though i have no hopes for Morbius' legs after the OW.

I was referring to Uncharted but I still think OW will be really good and maybe audiences end up loving it despite critics hating it ala Uncharted or Venom.

So, since it seems almost no one has seen The Lost City here...

 

It's a GOOD movie!  Very funny, and Brad Pitt steals the show for me.  I vacillate on whether I like or hate Daniel Radcliffe in the role b/c I can't decide if he, like Pitt, embodies the absolute stereotype of the romance novel character archetype...or if there's just no way he's a believable villain even when he's trying to be:).

 

The fam grades ranged from B+ to B-.  I actually gave it the highest grade (okay, my easiest grader did, too).  Maybe it's b/c I am the market for this.

 

Very fun, many laughs...a little drag here or there and a little on the nose at times, but I'm happy I paid to see it (and the audience was, too...although only about 50% filled tonight at my showing)...

Northman is moving imo, I just feel it in my bones (plus it feels weird that the chain I work for hasn’t even begun making allocations yet in competitive markets).

I did. I just...didn't feel like talking about it. Which I guess gives you a good hint on how I felt about it

I don't think it is. They released a TV spot type thing on social media.

 

It has just been marketed so nonexistently that people (likeBOPro) just assume it's moving.

It is not moving and they already set the on sale date.  It's absolutely coming out.  

[EmpireCity]

It's early, but $11.75m.

vs. True Friday, +42% increase 

[Cooper Legion]

Not crazy, but definitely enough for 30.

[BruiseCruise]

If it has the same sunday hold as Free Guy would be  a hair under 32m

[Ghost Mountain]

Considering that Ocean’s 8 opened to $42m, I think The Lost City is doing great

[EmpireCity]

Yep, going with $11.75m and $31m-$32m for the weekend.  Great number.

There's nothing suggesting that, they started to update social media again last Tuesday. A TV spot with new scenes dropped yesterday actually confirming the date. 

 

The marketing is definitely awful, i suspect because they know a +100M rated r movie in this environment hardly will do great numbers and they're avoiding spending even more with excessive campaign, but the marketing is starting and it's being consistent this week.

 

EmpireCity also confirmed they already set the date for presales, so a new trailer and more agressive marketing it's probably about to start, maybe even tomorrow on the Oscar.
