That's not sexual chemistry though that's just Emily being sexy all on her own.

Agreed though a sidenote is thay apparently it was her idea for them to kiss at the end according to McQ. He also mentioned alot of how he wrote Ilsa in Rogue Nation was learning from how Emily Blunt handled her character in Edge of Tomorrow.

Trying to get more into horror, what should I start with?

 

(some classics I have seen: The Shining, Evil Dead, Blair Witch Project, Paranormal Activity)

 

I'm Glad you came to me because if you're just getting into horror me being 50 years old and a child of the 80s I'm of course going to recommend the stuff that I grew up with. It's a lot different than horror movies are these days but in my opinion the quintessential ones that you have to see are

 

Halloween

Nightmare on elm Street

Friday the 13th 1-4

Psycho (1960)

My Bloody Valentine

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (74)

 

These are all the original movies, don't touch the remakes start with the 70s and '80s films

I was rolling my eyes when I was reading the negative reviews about the action lacking, before watching the film. It's the only franchise I love.

I can't believe I agree with them. But Mcquarries says multiple times DR1 is the setup and DR2 is the payoff...so I'm ready to get my socks blown off

 

Sorry I don't agree at all with you or those critics.  I respect that you and they feel that way though.

its funny on DL box office report they slam Indy to make MI look better and say they had higher hopes Lucasfilm wouldn't mess up a legacy finale.

The Exorcist. Halloween. The Thing. A Nightmare on Elm Street. The Haunting (original). Night of the Living Dead. Candyman. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Get Out. Nope. Hereditary. It Follows. The Babadook.

I remember seeing this in the original trailer for Edge of Tomorrow when I was like 16 and losing my mind. Still makes me lose my mind.

Yeah it's unfortunate..really wanted to love it.

But I have full faith in Cruise and Mcquarrie to deliver a knockout like Fallout with DR2 next.

But Indy5 is a legit catastrophe....MI7 is at worst a 'meh' run

 

Mi7's gonna make $10-15m shy of Indy5's global run so far in its first weekend alone and has strong WOM

It is true though. INDY's overseas numbers very poor compared to DR and the domestic fall is big, too. CRYSTAL SKULL with a mixed WoM made nearly 100m more than the highest grossing MI film domestically. INDY had the better release date as well. Unfortunately the quality wasn't there.

I notice the ones you listed are of the slasher genre (I'd add Black Christmas to that list). Do you consider things like supernatural (like Poltergeist or The Amityville Horror) or creature features (like The Thing or The Blob) horror or separate genres?

I especially found The Thing (1982 version) scary as hell.

[MovieMan89]

Disney taking Indy to Cannes and immediately lifting the review embargo is one of the worst things they’ve ever done in a campaign for a big movie. It had a whole month to generate talk about “wow, first Indy movie that’s ever been rotten, even critics thought Crystal Skull wasn’t that bad, etc.” It was never bouncing back from that. Not that I think it would have been a hit otherwise, but unlikely to open so low and already have a “reputation” going into OW. 

[Noctis]

What are Friday numbers? Why does no one update the fucking title

[Noctis]

I'm confused...how is MI7 only doing $15m-$16m days?

I love all those films you mentioned. He just asked me to recommend him some horror movies. I'm not going to list every film I think you should watch right now because there's literally dozens of them. But yes every one you mentioned here are fantastic.

MI is not frontloaded, business is spread out, also losing some business to Sound Of Freedom

MI makes $50-60m opening weekends and still end up making $700-800m WW.

 

And this one's making right in line.

 

Everyone's losing their mind however and panicking over MI7's performance because we all wanna feel something

Yeah. But even without Cannes buzz just don't think it would have opened that much higher either.

Crystal skull did the all the damage.

Thanks guys! I have seen a few of these (absolutely adored Nightmare on Elm Street, and loved Get Out and Nope), I’ll add these others to my list

People needed to hear good things about it prior to release given CS. Otherwise it was a “but why?” situation that became amplified with poor reviews after the embargo.
