So so much. It is my primary hobby, BO is #2.   

 

The Caleb Gannon cube is better than I expected, love vintage cube.

My roommate is really into mtg and he's been trying to teach me the game lol. Haven't had the time to properly get into it but seems pretty fun (got really into Gwent over the pandemic and this seems more complex). Something I'm gonna try to get into during the summer.

card games are one of the best turn based strategy games. I spammed Heartstone for a few years and it was so fun.

 

if you ever want to beat your friend this is what you do. You bait him in a control deck meta, then you have a rush deck to use that he doesn't know about

I am curious about this. Is this same for almost all the MCU movies or is it even more skewed for DS2? I am surprised to see that its only 33% Caucasian

Caucasian are saving money for TGM

I don’t think I’m surprised by the B+. As a horror fan, I don’t read too much into Cinemascore lol. $91m would be a great opening, hopefully it gets over $200m. 
 

On a side note about the Latino audience discussion, they’re known for turning up for horror films, unless they’re made directly for them: La Llarona and The Marked Ones.

My god, the spin on this loool

This is a Marvel movie with some horror elements. Huge difference.

 

Meant to quote whoever said B+ was a good cinemascore for a horror move. The cinemascore comp is other Marvel movies not horror.

Do you think Firestarter could open well next weekend considering it’s the first wide release horror film in 8 weeks? 
 

I think reviews and the Peacock/Piracy release might kill it, but it could do decently on Friday the 13th.

Think it's just by him, imdb and RT have endgame higher than IW iirc (which is kinda baffling to me since I did not like EG, at all, but to each their own).

I think Universal's dumping it. Barely seen anything for it since the trailer dropped.

Ah I see thanks. Must be because of the Peacock deal. I’m getting social media ads constantly here in the UK (where it’s cinemas only).

internet’s lack of interest is what will kill it

Smart roommate    
 

The last time I really got to play much was with friends at Stanford, since then it’s been all online. It’s super fun imo, great blend of complexity, interaction, imperfect information, and randomness (the randomness inherent from a shuffled deck, far less explicitly random effects than digital only ccgs). The combat system adds a lot of depth vs Hearthstone style CCGs, as does the mana system. So fun that it really tanked my grades, so waiting for summer probably wise 🤣

The weirdest B+ Cinemascore is still Bridesmaids. It had LEGS and the public ate it up. Was it the raunchiness? 

 

 

Scholarly Version: Affective genres have more heterogenous spectatorship.

 

Colloquial Version: Horror, Comedy and Erotic films involve a greater degree of subjectivity in their reception as they are all involved in attacking the body with a particular experience. As a result even the highest rated of those films are going to be polarising to a certain degree, especially if they stay exclusively within their genre but are not utterly milquetoast versions of what is expected. A film that is going to build up a legacy in those genres is likely even more to have some lukewarm reception since it is likely to be slightly askew from the general expectations.

 

Hence the only Horror films that have managed particularly completely universal acclaim since 1990 are Silence of the Lambs (is also basically a procedural thriller), Get Out (also a very overt sociopolitical commentary) and IT: chapter one (Adaptation of the bits people like of a known and established property).

 

Comedy has a fairly similar, albeit not quite as marked pattern.

A Netflix film got the cover of Empire’s summer movie preview issue.

Dr. Strange 2 just opened though

[Cooper Legion]

DS2 will have a great 2nd weekend because of F13 boost 

[Brainbug]

90-91M OD?

 

So the overreactions from the Deadline number were not justified?

 

Im ... im truly in shock.

[joe liviig]

Anyone else  think the mcu shows  are going to affect it in the long run. liked the film but i have to say was suprised fiege didnt do much to bridge the gap btn  wandavision and this esp to those unfamiliar with the show. i know you dont have recap everything for them but major character defining moments happen and it lives a portion of the audience confused.  MCU  has made a name for itself by creating a mostly coherent interconnected universe and this movie starts to undermine that . 

 

Good numbers for the weekend

 

thinking 196 to 202m 0w
