Why do you keep telling people to choke? Racists are bad, sure, but let's educate them

Educating them is like punching a brick wall. It's damn near impossible. You underestimate how spiteful and stubborn they are.

Should be getting revised/updated studio estimates/actuals soon here. Excited to see how everything finished for the 4 day. Wonder if the Game 7 (turned out to be a dud) impacted anything last night?

There's still got to be a better way than threatening violence in return, they use that shit as ammunition against the people they hate.

God will we just let this racism talk just rest .

 

If your love the movie great comment on it .

 

We don't need to know if racists need to be choked or cease existing. That is not relevant to this thread .

Yeah we're done with this argument. Not gonna lead to anything good, so we're ending it here.

Halle was incredible, and, I hope all racists choke and cease to exist!

I have a question to mods why isnt this post deleted if we cant talk about race and such issues in this thread

 

No issue with the post, just saying apply a rule or dont XD 

I mean I already posted that we were stopping this conversation altogether. This gives context as to what happened and why I made my mod warning so everybody understands what is going on. If Claire does this again, she will get warning points. Simple as that really.

Yes, they had that here in Northern Toronto as well for about 2 months and then they completely got rid of it. They knew guys like me were taking advantage of it and they were losing money. I can't speak for other parts of North America but here in Toronto and surrounding area they gouge you every single way they can when it comes to movies, actually pretty much for everything but that's a conversation for a different time.

Yeah before I discovered this I was going to the movies maybe 5 times a year because of how expensive it is. I hope they never get rid of it because I've seen 55 movies so far this year I go see any new release that comes out.

Man this movie flopping will give fuel to a lot of terrible people. Disappointing but it is what it is.

Where do you live? Iowa? 

Chicago suburbs, actually. That theater isn't the norm, though. There's still a hideously expensive AMC and a regional chain with prices somewhere in the middle of those two.

Eh... Not domestically though. Flopping is quite a stretch is quite a stretch too.

Everytime anyone writes about racism - you all are directing all your comments towards me because you all don't like East Asia. Kindly please stop.. it's really bothering me 

Am I missing something? I don't see any replies or tagging of your name in that exchange.

It's gonna end with Quantumania totals +/- 50 million worldwide on a budget 50 million higher. 

 

It is a flop, no doubt about it. 

 

Opening weekend was frontloaded. The IM was on par with Fast X (≈9.2x), despite that being the 10th installment in a fan-driven franchise that is running out of gas domestically, and this being a female-skewing PG kids movie. I have extremely low expectations for the legs, and would not be surprised if drops 60%+, if not 65%+ next weekend.

Chloe on the left and Halle on the right.

It depends on the legs. If the legs are bad, it could really be a flop.

 

The Little Mermaid needs 500 million to break even, it's possible the box office doesn't reach that number.

@ZattMurdock your pfp is giving me Andrew Garfield vibes.
