AMC Theaters Enjoyer Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I got blocked by Weber on my old Twitter account because I told him to add some pepper with his salt when he was furiously defending Grace Randolph. Guess he doesn’t like pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that continues the rest of the way, Oppy would finish around $317 million domestic. Oppy needs to stay above 73% of TDKR's daily numbers to reach $300 million total. Seems very doable at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Crash, but come on. damn you liked Crash? I can't even watch one minute of that movie before dying of cringe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringedmortality Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I saw Crash for the first time last year. It's pretty hilariously bad. That opening scene where they're like "we should be scared in this neighborhood, why aren't we? Cause we got guns? Oh shit you right." Is like parody levels of bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never liked that movie, but I know I’m in the minority. I am also firmly in the There Will Be Blood camp, but admittedly I didn’t expect to see some others here say the same haha.

The former #1 record holder for the biggest R rated movie of all time has now left the domestic top 10 after a whopping 39 years. Would have been cool to see it last one year longer, but still very impressive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 There will be blood is blessed with an amazing performance by an amazing actor. But the movie itself is definitely enough to cure insomnia. It's one of the most boring snooze fests I've ever seen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronenberg Crash is supposedly a good movie, though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BHC and its sequel still make me laugh to this day 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad they came out the same year. There Will Be Blood is better than a lot of other movies that won Best Picture through the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solaris Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 No Country is practically perfect. Lean, elegant, career best writing from the Coens, and incredible performances from everyone, and it manages to be poetic without being pretentious in the slightest. The shift in narrative perspective towards the end is one of the best rug pulls ever... I didn't quite believe it the first time I saw it. It's a film I'll happily watch anytime it's on TV. There Will Be Blood is great, but I have to admit it's a far harder watch and more obtuse film (and one I've rarely re-visited in full). DDL os brilliant, and it's beautifully shot and scored... but it can be a real slog. Phantom Thread is PTAs best film, by a country mile... From my subjective viewpoint!

AMC Theaters Enjoyer Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) I am curious to see how the strategy Sony is using for Gran Turismo will do. Closest example I can think of in terms of large tentpole pictures was Ghost Protocol getting that initial imax limited release.

VanillaSkies Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 46 minutes ago, kayumanggi said: An FYI, that might help explain this Tuesday number a little. In Canada, which is heavy on Discount Tuesdays, our largest chain Cinplex had evening Gran Turismo previews last night. So Oppy was down from 3 to 2 IMAX showings yesterday, and lost the most important one. Couple that will the fact that Canada does gangbuster business on Tuesdays, that likely accounts for some of the decrease from Monday - Tuesday. Monday’s Oppy IMAX night shows were still selling out, and then had zero yesterday cause the IMAX night shows were gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then it seems the 3 hour runtime was a big deal for the Canadian holiday boost on Monday. I believe it still great number. This is how I see the rest of the week playing out. $4,363,530 $3,765,726 -13.70% $3,554,846 -5.60% $5,038,994 +41.75% $6,792,564 +34.8% $5,739,716 -15.50% $17,571,274 -39.7% weekend drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
