Why would you want to see him make a movie with none of his style or personality? 

 

Thor Ragnarok? 

 

Dr Strange 2?

I see it's already been handled, but yeah, pretty simple answer -- pretty clear why the one who comes out of nowhere starting things  with personal insults deserves most of the blame/warnings. As for myself, I feel that it's ridiculous to say that I was engaged in "abusive behavior" last weekend, but I am partially in the wrong thos time -- I should have kept NIRD n mind. (I actually do have the "I" covered, but I often click "show comment" since their median comments is mostly positive value). I will rely more upon R and D in the future.

A- CinemaScore for Ambulance. Seems solid for a blockbuster, no? Glad to see those who actually bothered to see it had a good time.

[Cooper Legion]

I wonder if EEAAO will get a cinemascore (it’s not wide enough this wknd for an automatic one, but it could be commissioned and privately reported). That would have a decent chance at the + from what I can see.

A24 rarely does CinemaScore ratings, I believe. Only ones that come to mind are the two Ari Aster movies (Hereditary's D+ was fun while Midsommar scoring a C+ was better than expected because of that lol).

I think both it and The Bad Guys should’ve opened in mid March. Ambulance on the 18th and Bad Guys on the 11th. Good counterprogramming and less competition for both.

Bad Guys should have moved to May 20th.

[filmlover]

I actually think The Bad Guys is in a good spot right now since it's gonna be without any direct competition for nearly two months. Whether families actually show up for it out the gate remains to be seen.

How am I always the one warned against Legion whenever I make correct points and mention obvious biases due to Marvel favoritism?  Tell Legion to ignore me or ignore anyone who doesn't bow down and praise everything that isn't produced by Feige.

Why you don't ignore him because it seems you are the one getting bothered by his posts, not him

Michael Bay has not made a single good movie in his career and I doubt Ambulance changes that. We don't need him. 

 

Bit of a soft opening for Everything Everywhere, even with the subdued screen count. Once again proof that Twitter buzz =/= real life. 

[Cooper Legion]

I actually do hate Morbius though. I hope deadline is right about it, 2ould be an absolutely legendary 2nd weekend.

5-6M this weekend is basically hitting expectations with a very strong pta

Dude do you actually like movies or do you just spend all your time shitting on everything?

[filmlover]

Everything Everywhere was placed in smaller theaters near me and ended up adding showtimes at a few locations tonight (some are moving it into bigger theaters tomorrow). Given how bleak it's been for the indie market since the pandemic era began, $5-6M expansion is really good.

It's not very dramatic drama anyway, I think Claire would be dissapointed

I'm gonna grade Sonic, but Holy Ending Scene, Batman!

 

Here I'm sitting with no clue as my ENTIRE THEATER goes absolutely NUTS!  I haven't seen an ending scene cause such a huge reaction since The Avengers with Thanos...sign me up for Sonic 3 going $100M+ OW...

 

 

 

Huge reaction over Thanos in 2012?

how?

It's ok. There were much better action movies in the early to mid 90s. And there were much better buddy cop movies.
