I think I will need to see Godzilla before it leaves cinemas
Quote from: DD_Bwest on May 26, 2014, 02:04 AMToo bad I won't be able to do that lol. Hmm, unless they have IMAX in Sweden...
That you will! i saw it in 3d IMAX, and i feel it must be scene that way lol

Quote from: Raven on May 27, 2014, 12:24 AMThe critics agree with me.
I think you should just stay drunk from now on. That way I won't feel compelled to hurt you for saying such rubbish.
Quote from: DD_Bwest on May 27, 2014, 12:24 AMAgree to disagree then hahaha.
Thats what made it so great, they kept that look, he also had this arrogant cocky look to him that i just loved. and the way he dealt the final blow was awesome. I would have liked to see more monster vs monster action, but i got that is was teasing and building up. It sets up well for later movies.
The thing that bugs me, in all godzilla movies. The shoot him with rockets, tank shells, .50 cal miniguns and they dont do shame. and everyone in the army should be aware of this. Why is it that when there is like 4-5 soldiers alone and are faced with it, do they start shooting like its going to do something. Like for fudge sake run lol

Keep in mind that I haven't seen the movie, so I don't know if he actually plays that guy lol.

Quote from: Pezus on Jun 11, 2014, 06:59 PMlast time I went to the cinema (spiderman 2 opening weekend) I fell asleep during the action parts... At home I can get comfy pause rewind use the bathroom and not miss anything... oh yeah and drink alcohol...
You're weird
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 12, 2014, 07:37 AMhmm maybe you drink too much then? I drink enough to relax not get wasted...
Movies and alcohol are a bad mix imo
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 08, 2014, 08:55 PMSeen it last night. Some parts go too long, but does not ruin the movie.
Go watch Edge of Tomorrow, people! Tom Cruise needs to fund his Scientology church.
Seriously though, great movie and it doesn't seem to be doing very well in the US!
Quote from: 7H3 on Jul 11, 2014, 04:26 AMIMDB has that feature (Watch List)
hmm i want to see that movie... I need to make a list of all the movies I want to see, because I usually forget about them
Quote from: Pezus on Jul 11, 2014, 10:40 AMTY I'll have to look into that!
IMDB has that feature (Watch List)
Quote from: Legend on Jul 27, 2014, 09:42 PMWhat did you dislike about them?
No thank you Hobbit.
The first was bad and the second was really bad apart from sauron. I'll skip 3 at theaters unless the reviews are amazing.

36 perfect reviews and 10 less than perfect = perfect metacritic score.
2 of them even gave it a 75.
Must be a fantastic movie though.

Quote from: Riderz1337 on Aug 02, 2014, 02:18 AMCan't agree more. I'm a HUGE fan of the series, but the movie was EASILY the worst movie I have ever seen. Just awful awful awful.
I've seen all the films from 2010 lol...I went to see Last Airbender in theatres. This was before I found out about Rottentomatoes. Yeah I wasn't happy with the film...piece of shame.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 02, 2014, 02:31 AMYeah I remember the ending made it seem like it was going to have a sequel or something...Can't remember for sure cause to be honest that movie is all a blur to me lol. I doubt we will see a sequel. If they were to do another they will most likely reboot it.
Can't agree more. I'm a HUGE fan of the series, but the movie was EASILY the worst movie I have ever seen. Just awful awful awful.
I'm pretty sure the writing process involved having someone watch the series and write a summary about it. Then passing the summary to someone who has never seen the show and having them write a summary on that summary. Then passing it a second time to M. who hasn't watched the series. He writes a summary and gives it a twist ending and bam TLA.

Yeah I don't like most of the modern movies being on the list. Avatar was bad, but it's not horrible. Other movies within the same genre are way worse.
Same goes for catwoman.

Catwoman was terrible though

Well all of did good hints for nothing :P
My girl made me watch Mamma Mia in a TV channel here :D
I will watch Oblivion first because after The Avengers I got bored with the Captain America guy.
Quote from: BananaKing on Aug 09, 2014, 11:09 AMYou should. I've never been the biggest fan of Marvel films. Really the only one I enjoyed was Iron Man and I even thought Avengers was meh...

Monsters University- man was it bland. They really market this on pure nostalgia alone. Not even close to living up to the original.
Tintin- wow now this was a really great animated movie. Holy shame they got so many big names in this movie. Man it was fun, exciting and really creative. The extras on bluray is worth it. You can see everyone giving there all and respecting the source material.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Aug 23, 2014, 07:20 PM
Under the skin, if you want to be creeped out and put to sleep at the same time watch this movie. Also she gets full nude so that might be worth it for some.

I watched her. Pretty good. Loved the ai.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Oct 06, 2014, 08:15 PMCool story bro, and since you didn't tell us much about them i'll just assumed you loved the Adam Sandler movie and hated Winter Soldier.
I watched Captain America: Winter Soldier and Blended.
Quote from: DrakeSnake on Oct 06, 2014, 09:10 PMNo, really liked them both, but Blended needed less Adam Sandler humor. :P

Then I watched it a third time with my little brother and I realized just how utter crud that movie is.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 22, 2014, 04:48 AMThe parts where it makes it seem like there's about to be a big fight, and then the camera pans in a different direction or the scene just changes completely, it really frustrated me. For some reason I was expecting Pacific Rim style action scenes.

I'm not a fan of singing in movies to be honest...I can handle 1-2 scenes but it gets annoying if it keeps doing it after that.
Quote from: Legend on Nov 26, 2014, 08:03 AMSongs in Frozen are mostly great though so it's okay.
For me it depends on the movie.
If it's a musical, then the singing is usually great. If it's just a bunch of "hey let's through in a song" moments then yeah.
Quote from: Legend on Aug 27, 2014, 11:01 PM
I watched super 8 again. Better than I remember.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Dec 09, 2014, 09:52 PMTangled was good.
I actually liked Godzilla more than Planet of the Apes. Though, that's not saying I don't think Planet of the Apes isn't a better movie. Though Godzilla was a good starting point. I think with a better director they can actually make something super awesome. It just needed more Godzilla killing things like a boss. Haven't watching Frozen yet. I agree with "insert user's name here who I can't be bothered to check" that Tangled was meh. I was hoping for more out of that film.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 09, 2014, 10:11 PMIt was a good start. Like, when Godzilla killed the monsters, it was amazing. It needs moar of that.

Guys, why does everyone on the internet make it sound like Amazing Spider-man 2 was worse than Spidey 2 and 3? I mean Garfield is a great Spider-man. Stone is a great Gwen. Thee was plenty of amazing Gwen and Pete moments (Thanks in part to their great chemistry). The plot itself was pretty good. I don't mean ro say the movie is perfect, but it's pretty dang good. Also, why do people think Marvel can do a better job than Sony? it's not like the jobs are Daredevil or FF bad.
Quote from: Legend on Dec 14, 2014, 07:08 AMBut the trailers didn't though. They only really showed off Electro and Rhino. But what was bad that dragged it down though? I keep hearing bad but no one is pointing anything out.
I loved so many parts in as2, but it also had so much shame that brought it down. Like the trailers made you think he was up against the sinister six so the whole movie you kept expecting them to show up. Nope! Made the ending so dissapointing.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 26, 2014, 02:03 AMI watched it yesterday. Decent movie. Nothing too special though. It was fun seeing Kim Jong-un being made fun of
Watching the Interview.
As a comedy, meh.
As a movie, its pretty good I think.
Quote from: DrakeSnake on Dec 27, 2014, 08:49 AMIt was a lot more visceral than the other movies they've made. The overall Bucky and Fury plots in the film were pretty intense.
Just watched Captain America the winter solider. It was really good, but it wasn't the awesome sauce everyone made it out to be guess that made my expectations too high, but i enjoyed it non-the-less.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Dec 27, 2014, 04:08 PMNah i saw Bucky coming a mile away although he looked badass as The Winter Solider. Anyways never a fan of CA how many people gave his first movie a pass is beyond me as it was one of de worse superhero film i ever seen. This movie made me a fan of him.

Quote from: DrakeSnake on Dec 27, 2014, 07:54 PMWe knew it was Bucky, I'm talking about the brain washing. I actually really liked the first, it was the best commando movie I've seen in a long while.
Nah i saw Bucky coming a mile away although he looked badass as The Winter Solider. Anyways never a fan of CA how many people gave his first movie a pass is beyond me as it was one of de worse superhero film i ever seen. This movie made me a fan of him.

As was Iron Man 2/3 and Thor 1/2
The Marvel movies I have enjoyed are Iron Man 1, Winter Soldier (To an extent), Avengers (Overrated but good) and GOTG (Best one)

its paul walkers death. if you want a movie to reach enormous success have an actor die after he filmed the movie. not the first time this happened.

Quote from: Legend on Apr 19, 2015, 04:05 PM
Nah F7 is much worse, but they did an amazing job handling Walker's death.
Very true. However with F7, Paul Walker died during the middle of filming. They changed a ton of the plot around and used his brothers plus CGI to fill in as needed. Basically made the whole movie into a tribute to him. His death rocketed the film to success, but nothing felt exploitative about it unlike other movies.
Quote from: NotBananaKing on Apr 19, 2015, 06:10 PM
come on, they been riding the paul walker death since it happened. since when does a Fast and Furious movie shatter records? they been using his death and its obvious. instead of replacing the actor with another they used his death and changed the plot.
Quote from: Legend on Apr 19, 2015, 06:12 PM

Avengers 2 opens to $201m overseas, way ahead of Avengers 1.
Furious 7 is the third movie to reach $1b overseas (only Titanic and Avatar did it before). Total WW is over $1.32B, fifth of all-time. HP7-2 is next with 1.34B and then Avengers with 1.54B. Can it outdo that?

Predictions for Avengers 2 opening in the US?
#1 opened to $207m in 2012. It's worth noting that #2 is way up on #1 overseas on opening weekend
Quote from: Legend on Apr 30, 2015, 12:27 AMIt's demolishing the first one in pre-sales. I'm thinking $220m or so perhaps. Not sure if it'll have the same legs in America though. Will definitely beat the first one overseas and probably make more than the 1st one worldwide overall
$187m
Sure it's up oversees, but the first one didn't have that great of an opening over there. It's only ranked 14 on that chart. Meanwhile in America it DOMINATED its first weekend and is still number one by a very large margin. I just doubt it'll crush records that well.

$187m
Sure it's up oversees, but the first one didn't have that great of an opening over there. It's only ranked 14 on that chart. Meanwhile in America it DOMINATED its first weekend and is still number one by a very large margin. I just doubt it'll crush records that well.

How did first one do?
Quote from: Legend on May 04, 2015, 06:04 AMI thought they were about as good but I wasn't the biggest fan
I thought Avengers 2 was really good. Much better than the first one imo.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on May 04, 2015, 12:33 PMAnd the other half?
My grumpy cat has half my opinion on Age of Ultron.
Quote from: Pezus on May 04, 2015, 05:43 PMGood =D. I felt the second half was far weaker than the first. Still overall "good".
And the other half?

Quote from: Pezus on May 18, 2015, 08:15 PMI saw a trailer when watching avengers. It does look like a really fun family film. I probably won't watch it though...
"Pixar's 15th feature proves to be the greatest idea the toon studio has ever had ... promises to forever change the way people think about the way people think, delivering creative fireworks grounded by a wonderfully relatable family story."

Jurassic World takes $511m in record opening weekend - BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-33129583)
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 15, 2015, 10:07 AMI just can't get over the $500m+ in one weekend. Holy shiznits, that's just insane. It's popular everywhereI know, it's ridiculous. I need to work out when I'm watching it. It doesn't sound as bad as the trailers made it look to me
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 21, 2015, 03:34 PMInside out has the biggest opening weekend ever in the US for a new IP ($91m). Second biggest Pixar weekend ever.Nice and nice! Any more worldwide numbers for Jurassic World?
Jurassic Park drops only 51% and makes $102m in its second weekend in the US...that's more than the vast majority of movies make in their lifetime in the US, let alone in one weekend.
Quote from: Xevross on Jun 21, 2015, 03:42 PMNice and nice! Any more worldwide numbers for Jurassic World?not yet. Probably will be here later today or tomorrow. I expect it to be around 900m globally by the time we get updated numbers for this weekend
I watched it yesterday, it was great!
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 22, 2015, 10:05 PMJurassic World is at $985m already lol. Holy hell. $2B+ here we comeThat is madness. I contributed to that second week ;D
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 27, 2015, 02:41 PMJurassic has crossed 1B easily with no weekend numbers in and the overseas numbers haven't been updated in almost a week.Could end up being the 3rd highest grossing film of all time.
Quote from: Legend on Jun 27, 2015, 02:45 PMCould end up being the 3rd highest grossing film of all time.That's certain. The only question is if it can cross Titanic, which I think it won't but will be close to.
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 27, 2015, 02:48 PMThat's certain. The only question is if it can cross Titanic, which I think it won't but will be close to.Nah. It's not tracking that much better than the Avengers domestically. Too soon to know if it'll have better or worse legs.
Quote from: Legend on Jun 27, 2015, 03:17 PMNah. It's not tracking that much better than the Avengers domestically. Too soon to know if it'll have better or worse legs.It completely destroyed all records globally in its first two weeks.
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 28, 2015, 03:57 PMJurassic World is now the #1 2015 movie in the US. Made $54m in its third weekend. The fastest movie to cross $500m in the US. 17 days vs. 23 days for Avengers 1 (the previous record holder)Third weekend is slightly worse than Avengers's third weekend domestically. Guess next week is when we'll see if JW has shorter legs or not.
Quote from: Legend on Jun 28, 2015, 05:06 PMThird weekend is slightly worse than Avengers's third weekend domestically. Guess next week is when we'll see if JW has shorter legs or not.~640-650m in America and 1.2B+ foreign.
I bet it'll end at 650 mil in America and 850 foreign. 1.5 billion total. What's your guess?
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 28, 2015, 11:15 PM~640-650m in America and 1.2B+ foreign.JW didn't utterly destroy F7 in foreign. F7 after two weekends was $550 mil. JW after two weekends was $584 mil. Plus F7 didn't launch in China until its second week.
Furious 7 made almost 1.2B foreign and Jurassic World utterly destroyed it in its first two weeks
It's at 740m already foreign
Btw, Inside out was really brilliant!
Quote from: Legend on Jun 28, 2015, 11:36 PMJW didn't utterly destroy F7 in foreign. F7 after two weekends was $550 mil. JW after two weekends was $584 mil. Plus F7 didn't launch in China until its second week.Oh, it seems that F7 got some huge China numbers in its third week. Well, what about Japan for Jurassic World?
Even more darning is we have third week data now. JW is at $740 mil, while F7 was at $857 mil at this comparable moment in time. I really doubt JW is going to pass $1.2 bil foreign. Want to make a $1,000 forum bet on it?
Quote from: Pezus on Jun 28, 2015, 11:45 PMOh, it seems that F7 got some huge China numbers in its third week. Well, what about Japan for Jurassic World?1.8B+ globally? Heck I'll take that bet! No way will it go that high.
I wish we could look at "global" charts for movies to compare them instead of having to look at foreign and domestic individually.
Well I do believe Jurassic World has a lot still in it and might still make it to 1.2B but maybe 1.1B is a safer bet
At least it should make $1.8B+ globally. Wanna make that our bet?? ;o
Quote from: Legend on Jun 28, 2015, 11:49 PM1.8B+ globally? Heck I'll take that bet! No way will it go that high.It will if it only makes about 1.15B in foreign

Quote from: Pezus on Jul 05, 2015, 08:58 PM"Universal is also reporting that Jurassic World (http://"http://%5C"http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=jurassicpark4.htm") will pass $550M in domestic grosses this weekend. Adding another milestone to its marble bag of records that's the fastest—in 24 days—any film has reached the $550M mark. World added $42M in overseas coin, raising its international total to $826.9M. Combined with domestic that total makes Jurassic World the fifth highest grossing film worldwide of all time with $1.385B in global grosses (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/alltime/world/), just passing Avengers: Age of Ultron (http://"http://%5C"http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=avengers2.htm") at $1.37B."JW is estimated 31k for the weekend. Meanwhile The Avengers did 37k for its 4th weekend.

Quote from: Legend on Jun 28, 2015, 05:06 PMI bet it'll end at 650 mil in America and 850 foreign. 1.5 billion total. What's your guess?Seems $650 million will be practically spot on for my prediction domestically.

Meanwhile The Avengers did 37k for its 4th weekend.Seems $650 million will be practically spot on for my prediction domestically.Yeah it's slowing down faster than The Avengers but then again it's like $40m ahead in the US. I can see $650m too.
Foreign the film is at $826 million. It's going to pass my 850 prediction and probably stop around 900-950. I'm feeling pretty confident for the bet!
Quote from: Pezus on Jul 05, 2015, 09:23 PMYeah it's slowing down faster than The Avengers but then again it's like $40m ahead in the US. I can see $650m too.I could see it passing $1 billion. All it takes is a couple big markets to love it and then it has crazy legs. Kinda like Frozen which did $250 million in just Japan.
I'm hoping for $1B overseas now. $1.15 is probably too much
Quote from: Legend on Jul 05, 2015, 09:43 PMI could see it passing $1 billion. All it takes is a couple big markets to love it and then it has crazy legs. Kinda like Frozen which did $250 million in just Japan.But does it have any markets left to launch in?

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 16, 2015, 10:13 AMAbout Ant-Man on boxofficemojo:Nah those are poor scores.
"While it's unlikely that that base will shun the new film they might be quick to turn on it if they feel it's not up to par with their imagined Wright film.
Given Ant-Man's decidedly mixed reviews it may be in danger of those fans doing just that. The film has a 74% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, a healthy (but likely fanboy) 8.0 rating on IMDb from 3,168 users and a Metascore of 66/100.
Middling to negative reviews are an external nuisance but Ant-Man also has to deal with some internal, logistical reluctance as well."
Does nobody else find this funny/weird? Lol
Quote from: Legend on Jul 16, 2015, 03:14 PMNah those are poor scores.Not really. Movies score much lower than games on average because their review system isn't as broken.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 16, 2015, 04:32 PMNot really. Movies score much lower than games on average because their review system isn't as broken.We shall see come tomorrow!
66 on Meta is good, almost very good. 8 on IMDB is great. 74% on RT is good.
That's nowhere close to "middling to negative reviews". Also, it's funny that he claimed the IMDB score "likely fanboy" lol

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 19, 2015, 04:52 PMJW becomes 4th highest grossing movie ever. Just overtook F7! Also over $900m in "foreign" gross and over $600m domestic.Haha $650m+ isn't easy, it's expected. $645m-$675m is what we're looking at domestically. Right in line with my $650m prediction.
This weekend it made about the same domestic as Avengers 1 did in the same weekend and is still $40m ahead. Looks like $650m+ should be easy.
I think it also has yet to open in Japan so I will not admit defeat yet!
Quote from: Legend on Jul 19, 2015, 05:12 PMHaha $650m+ isn't easy, it's expected. $645m-$675m is what we're looking at domestically. Right in line with my $650m prediction.I don't think it has a chance to go as low as $645m. Avengers did $621m iirc and JW is tracking similarly right now but is still $40m ahead. The minimum is $650m and it will likely get to around $660m based on that.
Foreign is where Jurassic World is laughing at me. It's doing much better than I thought it would.

JW released a month later, and 2015 is different than 2012. 645 is just a worse case scenario.
I think JW can be quite big in Japan. Wonder how high it can go.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 22, 2015, 06:06 PMLooks better than Inside out at leastI liked Inside Out tho. It wasn't as good as some others such as Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc, or Wall-E but it was still pretty good. The middle killed it a bit and dragged on I'll admit tho.
hehehe

Have high hopes for The Good Dinosaur & Finding Dory to be better!
I expected it to be bad & was not shocked when I saw the reviews finally put up but still. Adam never fails to fail :P

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 23, 2015, 02:00 PMInside Out had some parts yeah, but overall it's probably my favorite Pixar movie.That's true, it was more relatable than say, Finding Nemo :P
Just felt a lot more relatable than most of the movies.

The Gift (2015) - Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_gift_2015/)
Early reviews are excellent. The trailer really did intrigue me but never thought it would get such high ratings. Also Joel Edgerton is a great actor, cool to see him directing his first film. He was amazing in Warrior with Tom Hardy.

So hitman is a bomba. The advert I seen on TV today looked absolute shame so I'm not surprised. The actor doesn't suit 47 at all. Low quality cash grab. What a shame.

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Oct 01, 2015, 01:11 AMSo I was walking by the family room while my sister was watching T.V. she was watching what was once a bad dog TV station. Unfortunately it's so bad that it's not even a shell of itself. Anyways, so this station used to show movies often and uncut. I remember back in the day how awesome that was. Every swear word intact. Every nude scene in. It was glorious. So as I walked by they were showing some poorly executed teeny bop rap movie. I got to think, was this station amazing cause everything was uncut or was it because movies were just bad dog then? Is the "R" rated action movie genre dead?What type of old r rated action movies do you like?
Quote from: Legend on Oct 01, 2015, 01:29 AMWhat type of old r rated action movies do you like?The ones where the main character swears every sentence and bangs the only other girl in the middle of enemy territory just cause he's that bad dog.

In order. That way you get the whole story and understand why a lot of people, myself included, think Disney buying Star Wars away from George Lucas was a godsend. Episodes 1 and 2 were.... ugh. Lucas was on something when he made those. Episode 3 was good but it still had the stink of whatever he was smoking left over.

Quote from: Xevross on Nov 29, 2015, 05:14 PM*Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 Spoilers Lie Ahead!The last book was the best one. If they stayed close to the book it would be alright. I did wonder how they would handle
I went to watch the new Hunger Games yesterday. I must say, I was slightly disappointed. Having not read the books I didn't know what was going to happen and I didn't really like the plot. I think they focussed on the wrong points and they could have made the deaths more meaningful, for exampleSpoiler for Hidden:
I didn't really like how the film played out really,it was a revolution yet they just sort of worked their way through a city, avoided a few traps had some bombs dropped on them and then Katniss was told that they won, it was way too easy for the rebels. There was a few moments which I guess were supposed to be surprising twists but they were so goddam obviousAnd of course, all along, it was just a love story.Spoiler for Hidden:
It was better than the bore-fest that was part 1 but nowhere near as good as the original or catching fire. 6/10 for me.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Nov 29, 2015, 05:30 PMThe last book was the best one. If they stayed close to the book it would be alright. I did wonder how they would handleSpoiler for Hidden:
The money grab is what killed part one, there was no reason to split the last book into two movies and it just made part one long and uneventful.
Quote from: Xevross on Nov 29, 2015, 05:33 PMI knew they didn't have the ball's to follow the book there.Spoiler for Hidden:
Agreed, that really needed to be one movie. Both were below average as a result.

It makes sense in that case. People had complained about the earlier movies skipping too much
Quote from: Legend on Nov 29, 2015, 09:45 PMMocking Jay part 1 was much better imo.Yeah, she really needed to be more important.
That movie at least felt important. Katniss directly helped the revolution. Liked the dam scene a lot.
Part 2 was just her on the sidelines being insignificant.
Quote from: Riderz1337 on Dec 03, 2015, 08:20 PMThat BvS trailer is hype.Aw hell no Civil war looks so much better!
WAY better than Civil War. Is it just me or does Civil War have no style to it? It just looks so bland, grey and dull. BvS has some unique artistic look to it which I'm digging. Zack Snyder might now know how to direct a great film, but he sure does know how to make it looks visually appealing, something that the majority of Marvel films lack IMO.
Quote from: Legend on Dec 03, 2015, 08:30 PMAw hell no Civil war looks so much better!Agree with this. I have 10x more hype for civil war
Quote from: Max King of the Wild on Dec 03, 2015, 08:46 PMCivil War >>>>>>>>>> BvS.Majority of people have turned around on him. They thought he wouldn't be fit for the role but he looks to be the best Bruce Wayne on screen as of yet. Whether he'll work as Batman we have yet to see, but god dang does that suit look great on him.
Ben affleck is so cringe worthy. "I thought she was with you." and his posture is off putting to me.
Quote from: Max King of the Wild on Dec 10, 2015, 12:46 PMSeriously, you can say any superhero movie is basically the same. Bad stuff happens. Superhero emerges under some Nobel cause. Super villain emerges that gives hero hard time and conflict. Hero emerges as winner.Doc Oc was Sony and Magneto is Fox. I'm talking about Disney Marvel.
And marvel hasn't had doc Oct, magneto, thanos? Seriously, lex Luther looks to be a baby.
And no, affleck is far from looking like the best Bruce. Are we forgetting Keaton? Then bale. Then Affleck can fight with crooner and Kilmer for the third spot.

Quote from: Legend on Dec 10, 2015, 08:35 PMHopefully it retcons Jar Jar binks out ;DSW has much, MUCH, MUUUUUCH more hype than Jurassic World ever had.
No to Titanic, no way to Avatar.
Jurassic World ended up $500 million behind titanic, and over $1 billion behind Avatar. Huge gulf between them.
I'd bet $1.8 billion lifetime for episode 7. Huge huge opening but I think it'll have only average legs. No way the movie exceeds expectations.

It's already smashing presale records in Iceland

That'll lead to a big opening, not good legs.

Quote from: Xevross on Dec 16, 2015, 02:31 PMNah, its down to 97%Huh? Look at the ratings again. It's not the "Tomato score" or whatever it's called that matters.
Doom confirmed.
Actually ep IV and V are the previous best SW films on 94%. So critics think this is the best Star Wars yet
Quote from: Riderz1337 on Dec 16, 2015, 03:18 PMHuh? Look at the ratings again. It's not the "Tomato score" or whatever it's called that matters.Well I was just using the main one that rt gives out on its own site.
Force Awakens - 8.4/10
Empire Strikes Back - 8.9/10
Empire strikes back is the highest rated. Even A New Hope is rated 8.5/10
Quote from: Xevross on Dec 16, 2015, 03:21 PMWell I was just using the main one that rt gives out on its own site.Yeah that one is basically just which people liked the movie or not. Someone could give it a 6/10 but another person a 10/10. Two different ratings but for the tomato score they would both mean the same thing.
By your measure those two are better, obviously.

I used to look at the tomato score but now I look at the actual score. So many movies are 80% on rottentomatoes but are then rated 6/10

Quote from: NotBananaKing on Dec 19, 2015, 08:18 PM120$ millionFor some reason I believe SW can be very big in China
includes "previews" from Thursday which for some reason are lumped in with Friday numbers.
includes marathon tickets which ran for 59.99$
however, this movie's release is absolutely massive, and most likely will crush every box office record for opening weekend. its certainly on track to do so. how legs will pan out we are yet to see, but given the good word of mouth, i think it will have pretty good legs.
as for international the film opened to the single largest day in history in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Norway and Sweden.
i think the big question is China, how big will the film be there, its a pretty big market and i am not sure of how big starwars is over there.

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Dec 21, 2015, 02:30 PMAlmost 10% of all people living in Iceland saw star wars in its first weekend. By far the biggest opening here everI'm sure an impressive number of dead people in Iceland also saw it.

Harry of course kisses the princess and becomes the Avatar, master of all 4 elements!!!I wonder if anyone read this.

That sounds fair.
I didn't really try. Was just making fun of some "spoilers" that I've seen. Like "Harry gets told he's a wizard."
But overall lame enough to get ignored, but not so lame to get called out. Just like all the other "spoilers".

Quote from: Riderz1337 on Dec 31, 2015, 04:26 AMSo I watched the Force Awakens even though I haven't watch the Star Wars movies...Have you seen A New Hope? both have identical stories, definitly the worst part of force awakens.l
Have to say it was pretty entertaining. I mean I know the jist of Star Wars and whatnot so I didn't go in completely blind but it was a pretty good film. A couple weak points and I felt it was a tad bit similar to previous films but still worth a watch.
Also ended up seeing The Big Short. Great film as well. Well done comedy on a serious subject about the economic crash of 2008. I recommend it as well.

I mean, Phantom menace, a movie that was garbage on all fronts except a nicely done fight scene at the end, has a hugely bloated score at 56%why can't we have a gta4 here that in a year everyone will say, "yeah, it wasn't that good and scored that high due to hype"

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 02, 2016, 04:33 AMIt's gonna reach number 2 tomorrow, domestically. :oYup, going to crush avatar in America.
Second only to Avatar.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jan 02, 2016, 12:40 PMIt will top titanic globally though. The question is how close can it get to avatarI reckon that it will just make it pass Titantic. Might reach 2.2 or 2.3 bn if the legs turn out to be amazing
Quote from: Xevross on Jan 02, 2016, 02:54 PMI reckon that it will just make it pass Titantic. Might reach 2.2 or 2.3 bn if the legs turn out to be amazingWell it should be at 1.5b+ after only it's third weekend with China still to come. Titanic is a certainty imo
Quote from: Xevross on Jan 03, 2016, 01:48 AMLooks like Star Wars will be able to pass Avatar this weekend.Good gravy, I wasn't expecting this to happen so soon, but yeah.... That seems almost certain.
Quote from: Legend on Jan 03, 2016, 02:35 AMI wonder if Avatar 2 will take it back?I kinda expect Avatar 2 to do that. Only thing is I expect it to take like a full year to do it.
~900 million is so huge!
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jan 03, 2016, 06:01 PMBreezes past 1.5bMost impressive.
Easily has at least 600m left in it, especially with China remaining
Quote from: Xevross on Jan 03, 2016, 06:28 PMMost impressive.It was never going to come close to Avatar. That's a weird movie, that had crazy legs and really impressive ROW numbers.
So its still some way off Avatar, Sunday turned out to be very disappointing and its lowest day so far. Looks like the legs are starting to slow down a lot
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 03, 2016, 06:35 PMIt was never going to come close to Avatar. That's a weird movie, that had crazy legs and really impressive ROW numbers.I meant Domestically, I was thinking it might be able to pass it this weekend but its $20m behind it still.
Sunday is kinda interesting, it's literally the biggest drop in its entire history. It was a bigger drop than day 1 to day 2.
Quote from: Xevross on Jan 03, 2016, 06:49 PMI meant Domestically, I was thinking it might be able to pass it this weekend but its $20m behind it still.I gotcha. Not so far off though.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jan 03, 2016, 07:34 PMLike I said, tfa has the disadvantage of unfavorable conversion rates to dollars globally outside the US. Could maybe reach 2.5b+ if it wasn't for thatWho are you directing that at?

Quote from: Xevross on Jan 07, 2016, 05:11 PMWith Wednesday's estimates, Star Wars will pass Avatar's domestic total becoming the #1 film of all time in America.And it's already very close to passing Jurassic World's global sales for third place. It also only took about a month to reach the domestic sales that took Avatar about 10 months to achieve.
It launches in China this weekend too

It also only took about a month to reach the domestic sales that took Avatar about 10 months to achieve.If star wars has as good of legs as Avatar, it'd still have another $400 million to do domestically. If star wars does just half as good with legs, it'll still reach $950 million. Crazy.

I can't help but laugh that I'm horrible predicting game sales, but pretty spot on with movies. Would be so nice if a boxofficemojo equivalent existed for games.

Star Wars: Episode VIII to Open December 15, 2017 | StarWars.com (http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-episode-viii-to-open-december-15-2017)most likely. they are also better off avoiding the summer hits that will undoubtedly take some spot light and sales from it. releasing in the holiday period didnt effect SW's performance at all. so it seems better to release during the holidays and have the spot light all to its self like it did this year.
Probably a strategic delay to re-hit the holiday season.

Quote from: Legend on Feb 08, 2016, 05:41 PMIf Avatar had a better plot it could have made it to 3 billion!I didnt see that myself. Sure, the theme wasn't original but it's star wars!
Cameron has a good track record with great plots so I'm hopeful Avatar 2-4 will rectify the mistakes of the first.
But with TFA I don't mean it had an unoriginal plot within film, but it literally copied the plot from a previous entry in the series. I'm so glad Abrams isn't directing the next movies.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Feb 08, 2016, 06:50 PMI didnt see that myself. Sure, the theme wasn't original but it's star wars!How did you not see that!?!?!?
Quote from: Legend on Feb 08, 2016, 07:16 PMHow did you not see that!?!?!?It's about as close to A New Hope as Return of the Jedi was.
The Force Awakens is pretty much a remake of A New Hope. You can google it and get a lot of detailed breakdowns. Abrams did the same thing for the past two star trek movies as well.

Like, in no situation is Spider-man an ace in the hole. Why hide him like that? It'd be better to hide Black Panther or whoever else is new in this movie. Or better yet, hide everyone new. There were also very serious issues with why Spider-man joined Stark, and unless they have something else that emotional, why would he join Iron Man over Cap?

Quote from: darkknightkryta on Mar 26, 2016, 12:39 PMSaw Batman/Superman yesterday. Great movie. Really don't know what the reviewers were watching.They were watching a sequel to a crud movie with a more crud storyline
Quote from: Max King of the Wild on Mar 26, 2016, 01:08 PMThey were watching a sequel to a crud movie with a more crud storylineMan of Steel was a great movie, best Superman movie made that isn't animated. Batman/Superman has a great storyline. For comparison I found more wrong (and the plot worse) with Avengers 2 and more execution problems (And general lack of direction) with Force Unleashed. Those movies got ridiculously high ratings. The funniest thing I found about reviewers complaining about, was the thing that they spent the most time with. World building and characters. They complained about a lack of it, when they spent hours on it. There was some fallacy, but I can understand why Superman and Batman had to fight, and it made more sense than when Miller did it in the 80s. That graphic novel is considered, by these same critics, as the greatest Batman graphic novel ever. They complain about Superman, yet he puts people in danger as his utmost priority in this film. Superman was no sociopathic killer as reviewers claimed him to be. Batman wasn't some sociopathic killer as reviewers made him out to be. Where the reviewers got both those ideas is beyond me and I'd like to watch what they were watching. Hell, I was expecting a lot of brooding from Batman. Yet there wasn't any. I remember reading a reviewer about how Snyder did Watchman better in Batman/Superman than in Watchman, yet the theme of should there be Superman, is such a small part of the film.
Quote from: Xevross on Mar 26, 2016, 02:40 PMI found Man of Steel ridiculously boring. I didn't care for any of the characters, not much really happened in it. The only reason I'd watch BvS is because of the Batman side. I loved the Dark Knight trilogy.My sister works in a theater. I go see most movies just because it's free. Very few movies aren't worth even seeing for free.
A few of my friends went to see BvS and they said its not that great and not really worth it. I trust them, so I'm not watching it in cinema.
Quote from: Max King of the Wild on Mar 26, 2016, 02:48 PMMan of Steel, explained superman's powers retardedly. What the fudge was the codex besides retarded? Butchered lois lanes existence. Didn't understand that gravity doesn't negate black holes pull. Killed Jonathan off in the most stupid way. Jonathan straight up tells a young Clark to let a school bus full of kids die next time. Clark just spills his guts to the first reporter to show... Should I go on?By explaining his powers retardedly, do you mean 100% comic based? Superman gets all his powers from the sun. It's been this way for maybe 50 years now. It's been this way in every medium. You'd have to know nothing about Superman (Which I suspect is the case for the majority of people complaining about these two films) to complain about that.

Quote from: Legend on Mar 26, 2016, 03:04 PMAdd me to the hate train for Man of steel. Everything in it was just so average, and they made superman feel underpowered.Superman under powered? You crazy? He caused trillions of dollars in damages. On top of that he managed to take Zod up into Space in minutes and they both came back down in reminiscence of gods. My dad actually said, when we were watching that part "What if people like that exist in the universe and came here to take over. What would we do?". Plus they're portraying Superman on the high end of his portrayals. Like, how absurd he is in comics currently is how he is in this movie. Still the most physically strongest being shown in movies.
I think bvs looks much better, but I'm worried it ends with a huge cliffhanger.

Quote from: NotBananaKing on Mar 27, 2016, 12:59 PMi dont get why people are upset he killed zod though, i find it stupid that they complain that he shouldnt have.I didn't have a problem with him killing Zod because he was in put in an impossible situation that Zod would definitely have put him in. However, I can see why some would be mad about it. Superman is suppose to be super in everything. Quick wit for one thing. MoS superman was pretty daft and unprepared. It just wasn't a good movie. Wasn't a good superhero movie. It was pretty bleh. I mean, it still provided entertainment (had decent cinematography and action) so it fulfilled it's objective. But if I had to pay to see it I'd definitely avoid seeing the continuations in the theater based off MoS.

Yes, extremely underpowered. He could only fight one kyrptonian at a time... Who weren't even getting their full potential of power due to inhaling kryptons atmospheric composition and probably weren't even aware of their dormant abilities... When he had 33 years to acclimate and perfect his powers... A point he makes sure to make to zod that he says took him years.... Who then perfects all the same powers within minutes of being introduced to an atmosphere he's never had been introduced to (same reason Star Wars was crud).... Yet superman coughs blood when he breaths krypton atmosphere.... Because apparently it only works one way. Again, it was a VERY bad movie. Only redeeming factors in it were action sequences and cinematography. And that's okay if you are one of those able to shut off their brain and enjoy a movie solely based on flash. (one of my Co workers has the opinion that The expendables and Fast and Furious are the best franchises ever)
BTW, when they went to space, they should have both died instantly

Only one I'd change is 4. The codex was just retarded and I would talk about that. I'd add 8 that lois for some idiotic reason is on a military plane ready to drop a doomsday device and just so happens to fall out right before it detonates and everything gets sucked up except her because she's in a more perilous situation of free falling to earth

Quote from: Max King of the Wild on Mar 29, 2016, 12:36 PMThe codex was never in the comics and was a useless and retarded addition.Jarvis is a butler in the comics, he's an A.I. in the marvel movies. Are Iron Man, Avengers, Avengers 2 terrible movies because of it? Also, I objectively gave you reasons as to why the codex was a great plot device. It gave thematic reasoning to give it to Kal-El (Hope, and is a theme in the movie). Gave a meaningful and logical purpose to Zod to terraform earth wiping out the human race in the process. It also gave Zod reason to try to kill Superman and take revenge since Zod's entire existence, his programming, was taken from him by Superman. Wanna objectively reason/argue why you think the codex is "stupid...retarded" as opposed to just saying it's "stupid and retarded" for no reason other than you not understanding its purpose, which I suspect is the case of your hatred to it.

Quote from: NotBananaKing on May 19, 2016, 08:26 AMwatched Civil War, its a pretty fun movie, i expected it to be a little bit better after all the hype, but im certainly not disappointed. (i managed to get the tickets for free, btw). i didnt like black panter, CGI battleship moves, give me real stunts, not this battleship. was the main disappointment of the movie. i still hate Vision, such a useless and annoying character, they shouldnt have even bothered with him.Vision was the best part of the film. Liked panther too.
Days of Future Past is still the best super hero movie though.Spoiler for Hidden:
Quote from: Legend on May 19, 2016, 04:11 PMVision was the best part of the film. Liked panther too.Vision sucks, he is so over powered that he cant do anything entertaining. shooting lasers, being invisible and literally cant be touched isnt cool, its just boring. its like a child made up a super hero and gave him every over powered ability he thought of. why do you think he was largely absent in the fight scenes?
I agree about the CGI. It looked relatively cheap to me vs past Marvel films.

yeah the CGI for black Panther was very cheap, it just felt like CGI, with spiderman it was done much better surprisingly. i actually liked Spidermans character too, its making me look forward to the film.
Quote from: Legend on May 22, 2016, 02:15 PMI like vision because he's so op.i dont know who doctor manhatten is. and being OP is boring. just look at superman, fudgy boring.

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on May 30, 2016, 09:00 PMAny good?Better than the original trilogy. Like I said, the first movie should have been what this was.
Quote from: Max King of the Wild on Jul 01, 2016, 02:28 AMI'll go through your post but first let me say that movie sucked bad. I'm no comic book nerd but I'm also not a casual movie goer. That dream sequence was so mind boggling stupid. You can't have a scene like that and lose 90% of your audience.
Basically, the dream was actually the future. It showed Darksied was coming. However, flash time traveled to Bruce to warn him but missed his target and was too early
As for your second point, neither of them really had motive to be concerned with what the other was doing. Seriously, terrible plot
Third point, seriously... fudgy stupid right?
beyond stupid.
4th point, didn't he make a deal with the dude he force fed a jolly rancher to for that?
this is the goverment that spies on every bodies phones, and collects what ever data it can about everybody. so when one person with money, comes and admittedly says he wants to use the ship and body to weaponize it. they just say, sure, right this way. and they dont even bother to know what he was doing?
5th, I hope so
6th, again, motives were unclear... For every single fudgy character. I thought lex was just the crazy dude who wanted to do as he pleased and didn't care what happens. I'm not sure where you got he wanted to save humanity from. But if that was in the movie and I missed it then woah that's stupid
well when he says he wants to make the weapon to take down superman, it was kind of implied. he wants to make it so if that humanity ever needs it, they would have it. basically as a safe guard for humanity. if that wasnt his reasoning then what the fudge is? if he wasnt afraid superman could whip out humanity, what the hell was his reasoning. that even makes the movie even dumber than it already is
Doomsday got stronger each time it got hurt.
which is stupid and doesnt make sense, i know its a superhero movie. but come on, it just seems like an idea an 8 year old would come up with.
Better question, how did lex know which symbol each meta human would eventually take on?
i was too concerned with other stupid ideas to even think about this.
Quote from: NotBananaKing on Jul 01, 2016, 01:46 PMmy answered are in the bolded. its such a shame that movies like this make around 850 million, when a great film like gangster squad doesnt make shame.Well, there are people who liked this movie.

Plus 100m ad campaign
Let me put how big of a flop ghostbusters is into perspective... The movie needs about 500m to break even at the box office. Next week is star trek. The week after Bourne. Movie tickets are 100% more expensive than they were when the original came out. This movie won't match the original release domestic total which is half of what they need to break even.
As for highest release for director and McCarthy... I'm sure the massive 100m ad budget and having the ghostbuster name has something to do with it
Oh, and the toys have already been discontinued at stores

Quote from: NotBananaKing on Jul 18, 2016, 09:49 AMWhy does it need 500 million to break even?Box office tickets are split between theaters and distributers. Distributer gets about half. Therefore times the budget by two to get the break even point

Empty theaters in Ghostbusters opening week, attacking your main audience with vile insults doesn't seem to be a good marketing strategy after all. (https://m.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/4t4v0l/empty_theaters_in_ghostbusters_opening_week/)

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 21, 2016, 09:25 PMNot necessarily.Ghost busters will not launch in China. Game over for ghostbuster
Allegiant launched in like twice as many countries. And first weekend is about 15m GB to 25m Allegiant. GB is doing better in the UK, Australia than Allegiant.
GB isn't even launched in some of the biggest markets.
Allegiants biggest markets (in order) - Russia, France, Brazil, UK, Spain, Italy.
These were all the markets where it did over 1m first week.
By comparison GhostBusters hasn't launched in Russia, France, Spain, Italy.
Won't necessarily do well in those markets, but it has yet to launch in the biggest markets.
Meanwhile it's tracking at about 30m higher than Allegiant in the US.
So the jury is still out on it.
If you take only the countries that Ghostbusters has launched in, it's beating Allegiant almost 2:1. There is literally no evidence (yet) that Allegiant is winning. This does not even include the US showing where it'll beat the entire running of Allegiant's US run in the next day.Spoiler for Hidden:
Everything below Australia is only for Ghostbusters, don't know why it isn't lining up. :P
Quote from: Legend on Jul 21, 2016, 09:09 PMStraight to DVD? Ouch that's horrible.I've heard TV movie and they are possibly working in new stuff for a TV series. I will say though that while I still liked Allegiant, it was absolutely trash when it came to being anywhere near the book story. It seemed to barely even resemble what the last book was. Divergent overall is the best movie from the franchise and even that is not nearly that good of a movie.

Do you have like a bet going on with someone, and you're trying to invent a bunch of arguments to prove to them that you win?
Really want to know why you care so much. I'm personally expecting it to disappoint, but no where near as bad as how you're claiming.
Have you seen the movie? Did it do horrific things to your family?

Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jul 30, 2016, 12:55 AMI want to see it now because it gets so much hateIt was lowbrow slapstick. No coherent plot. Unspecial effects. The cast was two bit snl/mad TV/the office actors. The protagonist had a cliche motive and no background (somehow he was a paranormal physicist engineer working out of a high class hotel basement as a janitor). McCarthy did not have a single funny line and Wiigs humor was out of place for the setting. Each scene was a pathetic attempt at an snl skit. The big screen was beyond the acting ability of some characters (cicily strong specifically)
Quote from: Max King of the Wild on Jul 30, 2016, 01:17 AMMy sister works at the theater so I go often for free. She gave me an attitude because she didn't want to see the movie. Instead wanted to see star trek. I convinced her to go to ghostbusters instead.Really not surprised. Movies like this which seek to change or replace beloved characters in a pathetic attempt to pander to a certain group end up sucking. Mostly because it seems like the whole point is, "Look how diverse and sensitive we are!" instead of trying to actually make a good movie.
It wasn't worth it. 2pm show time and the guy next to me was snoring by 3

Opening seen of the movie a guy runs into a haunted basement, realizes he messed up and then runs up rickety stairs as they collapse and hangs off a ledge. This is the ghost that, shortly after, pukes all over Wiig in the trailer. Which, Wiig makes the lowbrow joke that the slime got in every crack. As they test the proton packs, again clip in the trailer, McCarthy is being thrown around. And the scene, again in the trailer, where McCarthy gets possessed, Jones is holding McKinnon, who got picked up with one hand and thrown out a window, by one hand and fighting of McCarthy (who rotates her head around) off with the other. Oh, and semi spoiler, they beat the bad guy (keyword guy) by a cliche lowbrow typical slapstick move...

QuoteQuoteWarners chief Kevin Tsujihara announced the project in October 2014 as part of a slate of 10 DC films stretching into 2020. Though the studio believed there was enough time to get the movie done, a source with ties to the project says it was a sprint from the start. "(Ayer) wrote the script in like, six weeks, and they just went," he says, arguing that the whole process would have benefited if Ayer, 48, had been given more time to work. But another source closely involved with the film says once it was dated, pushing back the release was not an option: "It's not just that you've told the public the movie is coming, you've made huge deals around the world with huge branding partners, with merchandise partners. It's a really big deal to move a tentpole date."
QuoteA source with knowledge of events says Warners executives, nervous from the start, grew more anxious after they were blindsided and deeply rattled by the tepid response to BvS. "Kevin was really pissed about damage to the brand," says one executive close to the studio. A key concern for Warners executives was that Suicide Squad didn't deliver on the fun, edgy tone promised in the strong teaser trailer for the film. So while Ayer pursued his original vision, Warners set about working on a different cut, with an assist from Trailer Park, the company that had made the teaser.
QuoteIn May, Ayer's more somber version and a lighter, studio-favored version were tested with audiences in Northern California. "If there are multiple opinions that aren't in sync, you go down multiple tracks two tracks at least," says an insider. "That was the case here for a period of time, always trying to get to a place where you have consensus." Those associated with the film insist Ayer agreed to and participated in the process. Once feedback on the two versions was analyzed, it became clear it was possible to get to "a very common-ground place." (The studio-favored version with more characters introduced early in the film and jazzed-up graphics won.) Getting to that place of consensus, however, required millions of dollars worth of additional photography.Full Article (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/suicide-squads-secret-drama-rushed-916693?utm_source=twitter)

Which is what I was trying to point out. I think they could have made just as good of a movie without the big budget... Seriously, will Smith? How many millions did he take up which you could have easily saved by casting someone else without a dip in talent. (I like will.)

Just watched Suicide Squad. its by far the worst super hero movie i have ever seen. its beyond stupid. its plot makes no sense. acting sucks, specially Joker and Harley.

Quote from: Xevross on Dec 15, 2016, 02:53 AMThat was the first time I have ever felt the urge to clap when a film ended in the cinema. I wasn't going to do it but then a few other people started clapping and most others joined in. Never seen an audience applaud a film like that beforeI've seen it happen a few times. Other times people try to clap but instead they awkwardly shuffle out.
Quote from: Max King of the Wild on Dec 15, 2016, 07:18 AMWell, 7 sucked so much donkey balls that if this isn't better than it then the franchise would be dead.How would your opinion kill an entire franchise?

Quote from: Max King of the Wild on Dec 15, 2016, 04:09 PMOK. Doesn't mean if they kept putting crud out people would continue to see it. Like DC movies. They better hope WW is goodWell the thing is, most people don't think its crud and were very happy about episode 7. Don't state your opinion like its a fact, when it in fact is a minority opinion.

Quote from: nnodley on Dec 15, 2016, 06:07 PM7 was the first star wars I could actually get into and thought it was great. I never really cared about star wars, but do have them DVR'd when they were on tv so I could watch them again.Well I love star wars but I'd agree that 7 is probably the most accessible and that it is really great.
Quote from: Xevross on Dec 15, 2016, 06:19 PMWell I love star wars but I'd agree that 7 is probably the most accessible and that it is really great.yeah i plan on watching them all even the prequels before watching rogue one. Though I likely won't see it in theaters since I tend to mostly wait for movies to come out on digital or blu ray. Think I'm gonna throw on some of A New Hope right now.
7 and Rogue One are definitely on opposite ends of the spectrum. You could start watching star wars at episode 7 and be perfectly fine but I think if you watched Rogue One without having seen the original trilogy you would be a little bit lost and wouldn't appreciate it anywhere near as much.
That's a good point actually, I'd recommend people watch at least the start of A New Hope before watching Rogue One. If ANH fresh in your mind you'll love the ending to Rogue One.

Quote from: Xevross on Jan 01, 2017, 01:32 PMSame here. Films are for entertainment and I just watch them to enjoy myself.That's not what this is about though. We all play games for entertainment yet have no problem discussing their negative elements; movies aren't inherently different.
Quote from: Mmm_fish_tacos on Jan 03, 2017, 12:50 AMI guess I'm going to watch Suicide Squad. I just finished batman vs Superman, and it wasn't as bad as everyone made it seem. It was fairly entertaining, but not as good and the dark knight series. So I'm hoping SS isn't as bad as everyone made it out to be either.SS has a lot of issues but I guess a lot of backlash was also about the lack of Joker. IMO the few scenes with joker were already too much ::)
Quote from: Legend on Jan 03, 2017, 01:00 AMSS has a lot of issues but I guess a lot of backlash was also about the lack of Joker. IMO the few scenes with joker were already too much ::)I honestly wished there was more of Joker. I thought his scenes were great. Maybe a bit over the top in the acting, but still liked it.
Fun film and better than BvS imo.
Quote from: Legend on Jan 23, 2017, 05:20 PMOfficial title revealed.Loving the title! Obviously focused on Luke, which I love.

Trailer will probably be at the superbowl.
(I really hope this film is original and isn't a soft remake like the previous)
Quote from: Xevross on Jan 23, 2017, 06:50 PMLoving the title! Obviously focused on Luke, which I love."Rey, I am your father"

It did a lot of world building/setup and I liked that. Also was just much more fun than the other two.
Quote from: nnodley on Jan 30, 2017, 08:28 PMAvatar 2: Motion Capture Begins in August - IGN (http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/01/30/avatar-2-motion-capture-begins-in-august)I'm right there with you. Loved the movie so much when it came out and all the news about Avatar Land and the sequels has me so excited.
I know people like to shame on Avatar, but it's one of my favorites. Not even necessarily for the story. I understand the pitfalls for it and why people don't like it, but it was one of the best cinema experiences i've ever had.
Saying that I hope 2, 3, 4, and 5(I think 2 and 3 would have been enough) are much better in story. But I'm sure we can count on an amazing looking world again.
Quote from: Legend on Jan 30, 2017, 10:16 PMI'm right there with you. Loved the movie so much when it came out and all the news about Avatar Land and the sequels has me so excited.Yeah it's absolutely crazy to think it's been 8 years. It's the movie that really pushed me to want to do environment art. I had started thinking about it but it pushed me enough to do it.
It's been 8 years since Avatar (holy fudge time goes fast) and that'll probably help a lot with the movie's success. If it released 5 years ago while it was still popular to hate, that'd be an uphill battle.
Quote from: nnodley on Jan 31, 2017, 06:57 PMI hope james cameron can really deliver on amazing glasses free 3D. If he can do that then I can see these will be massive hits again. I doubt he will for Avatar 2, but maybe avatar 3 and beyond will be.I don't understand why he keeps mentioning that. A glasses less 3D is a display tech not a film tech.
Quote from: Legend on Jan 31, 2017, 07:05 PMI don't understand why he keeps mentioning that. A glasses less 3D is a display tech not a film tech.Yeah I'm not sure what he's trying to want to do with it. But he seems adamant about doing it or getting it. Maybe he wants to help develop the display tech more for theaters. I'm sure he will have a trial run with small amounts of theaters with avatar 2 if he is serious about it.
Maybe he means rendering a light field but that's still a long way off from being common or standardized. Plus the data would be multiple terabytes. And rendering would take at least 10 times longer.
Quote from: Legend on Jan 30, 2017, 06:45 AMI saw X Men apocalypse. Definitely the best of the prequels.ummm what? Days of Future past was WAY better than it. in fact days of future past is hands down the best super hero film. First Class was also pretty good. Apocalypse isnt as bad as people say, its a fun movie, decent. but the formula is just tired by now. plus the VFX in it were weird, a noticable step down from Days of Future Past. at times they felt really really out of place.

Quote from: nnodley on Feb 21, 2017, 06:42 PMI watched Edge of Tomorrow for the first time a couple days ago. AND WOW was it literally a worthless movie! Don't get me wrong I really liked most of the movie, but that ending was so shame I can even fathom it. It literally makes the rest of the movie have absolutely no outcome whatsoever.Was that that crud with Tom Cruise?
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Feb 21, 2017, 11:19 PMWas that that crud with Tom Cruise?Yeah. I thought most of the movie was intriguing till they basically got rid of everything that happened in the film in 2 minutes at the end. Was battleship.

Quote from: Legend on Mar 30, 2017, 06:15 PMMoana was eh. I enjoyed the music but everything else felt sub par. Animations were super odd feeling.I definitely liked Tangled.
Frozen is great. I thought it looked stupid when announced but it's just so well done. The troll song is the only one I didn't like.
Did you like Tangled?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 30, 2017, 06:21 PMI definitely liked Tangled.The movie originally had a different ending. Prince Hans turning evil and that whole resolution was off to me too, but I didn't really mind.
The story in Frozen to me just doesn't feel complete or something. I liked everything else about it.

Quote from: Legend on Jun 19, 2017, 05:32 AMWonder woman was amazing. I'd put it near the top of my favorite super hero movies, around the first Iron Man.
Not perfect and my low expectations sure helped, but awesome regardless. I lost track of how many times I almost cried. It's very much a war movie.

Quote"It's really weird because on the show the average age was, like, 9 years old. My child was 9 years old. You could make it one of two ways. You could make it for that same audience, which is what I did — for 9 and 10-year-olds — or you could do the Transformers version and have Megan Fox

What an incredible film. The movies just got better and better with each installment. The first 10 minutes are amazing and really reel you into the film.
Next week I will be watching Dunkirk in REAL 70 MM IMAX!!! Only two theaters in Ontario offer IMAX showings of it and one of them is only ten minutes away from my house. Super hyped for that one.
But yeah, watch War for the Planet of the Apes people! It deserves your money.

I'd be all for a series revival if the movie is amazing.
Now you make me want to rewatch the show!

Quote from: Riderz1337 on Aug 01, 2017, 07:41 AMReally surprised how dead this thread is when it seems like there's a brand new good movie coming out every week.Good point. I've been saying to my friends how crazy the last month has been for films.
This summer has been amazing for films thus far.
And it seems like there's more good movies coming out with Detroit and apparently even that new Annabelle movie is super good... Which is surprising for a horror film.
Quote from: Riderz1337 on Aug 01, 2017, 07:41 AMReally surprised how dead this thread is when it seems like there's a brand new good movie coming out every week.A lot of good films this year. Wonder Woman, Spiderman, and a lot of others were pretty well received. I have only gone to the theater once this year. Haven't watched any other new movies too much.

Quote from: BananaKing on Aug 01, 2017, 11:27 AMso at 775M~ is pirate of the carribian 5 considered a success? its a really fun movie. really enjoyed it.It's probably disappointing for the series, but it's a decent amount. I am.sure they will make a sequel again.
Quote from: Xevross on Aug 01, 2017, 11:57 AMGood point. I've been saying to my friends how crazy the last month has been for films.It seems like Dunkirk is really popular. :o
I watched Spiderman a few weeks ago and thought it was fantastic. Absolutely loved it.
I also watched Dunkirk on Sunday and thought it was decent. Was hoping I'd like it more than I did but I just couldn't really get into it. About the same level as Interstellar for me.
Watched Moana and Beauty and the Beast for the first time as well. BatB was great and Moana was excellent. Glad I finally got to watch it.

There's a few I do want to see. Planet of the Apes, Wonder Woman, but I don't know when I will.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 01, 2017, 03:09 PMTheres a thread on GAF about Dunkirk, the descriptions kinda reminds me of Gravity.It's Nolan lol. Probably not like gravity and more like interstellar or inception
I really liked interstellar, gravity I very much disliked.
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Aug 01, 2017, 03:59 PMIt's Nolan lol. Probably not like gravity and more like interstellar or inceptionNah, I mean Gravity is more about atmosphere. There isn't a lot of dialogue.
It's got 8.5 on imdb currently so it's not only the critics that like it (94 on meta! :o)
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Aug 01, 2017, 03:59 PMIt's Nolan lol. Probably not like gravity and more like interstellar or inceptionActually its much, much more like gravity than those two films. As Pi says, there's not many lines. If I had to compare them... I think Dunkirk is slightly better than Gravity.

He's just learned how to use some advanced tech. I guess that's the theme for most Marvel heroes though, so he fits in.

But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it's soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend."Click to expand...

Quote from: Legend on Dec 14, 2017, 06:16 AMI only read the first line of the spoiler free one. Glad to know.Definitely. If you're feeling hyped for this film you will almost definitely be disappointed. Even though I like it a lot I feel a lot of disappointment. Now I've slept on it I know what's (mainly) wrong with the film. This is very very minor spoilers (I don't say anything that happens in the film, just the theme of a side plot)
Going in with a bit less hype should help me enjoy it more.
Quote from: Legend on Dec 12, 2017, 06:04 PMI was really hyped for episode 3. I loved general grievous.I watched Revenge of the Sith 3 times in the theatre.
Quote from: darkknightkryta on Dec 14, 2017, 09:00 PMI watched Revenge of the Sith 3 times in the theatre.Revenge of the Sith is a great film. Pretty similar quality to TLJ I'd say.
Quote from: Xevross on Dec 14, 2017, 09:13 PMRevenge of the Sith is a great film. Pretty similar quality to TLJ I'd say.Pretty strange that critics are amazed but early imdb score isn't that high (8.2 and dropping).
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Dec 14, 2017, 10:47 PMPretty strange that critics are amazed but early imdb score isn't that high (8.2 and dropping).Reading reddit, era, facebook comments and talking to people who've seen it, it seems like a lot of fans are disappointed with it and think there's a lot wrong. With TFA and Rogue One, obviously there was people who didn't like them but they were a minority, whereas this seems like a 50/50 split right now.
Quote from: Legend on Dec 15, 2017, 12:06 AMSounds like the opposite of TFA. I hated that movie a lot but at the same time it was very polished and it was enjoyable. Wonder if a director's cut or something will be popular with this film.Yeah I'd say it is. Hopefully it means TLJ will get better with re-watches, since TFA keeps getting worse.
Quote from: Xevross on Dec 15, 2017, 12:31 AMYeah I'd say it is. Hopefully it means TLJ will get better with re-watches, since TFA keeps getting worse.To be honest, The Force Awakens is %100 for a market that most people aren't. I call them the "Smash Bros." crowd. Not the pros mind you. The kids who grew up with a Gamecube and were around 22 when The Force Awakens came out. So we'll look at things differently. They're easily pleased. In a way, it's a bit envious because they enjoy things without "hating". On the other ends, they're fanboys which can be annoying. I personally though it was a "sloppy" movie that needed a few more rewrites. It's also why you notice more flaws as you watch it. Those "Smash Bros." crowd won't notice issues after the fact.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 26, 2017, 07:27 PMLast Jedi is falling behind other movies.Possibly due to Christmas? I mean not many people go to the cinema on Christmas day etc?
Went from 2nd highest 8 days US, to 3rd highest 9 days, 4th highest 10 day sales.
It's falling pretty fast too.
10 day sales is about equal to 9 day sales of Jurassic World.
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Dec 26, 2017, 09:55 PMPossibly due to Christmas? I mean not many people go to the cinema on Christmas day etc?No, Christmas day was the biggest day outside of it's opening weekend. Doubled box-office from the 24th to the 25th despite the 25th being a Monday.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 10, 2018, 09:01 PMAnd yet it's at 1.2B already WW. Won't come close to 2B but a massive success nonetheless. I'm sure episode 9 will rekindle the flame and be an even more popular movie (as long as they don't fudge it up)
More comparisons:
Domestic:
TLJ $574.5m in 25 days
TFA $815.8m in 25 days, $600.9m in 12 days.
TFA took about 34 days to drop below 2 million, versus 25 for TLJ.
Massive movie, but its a massive drop off from the previous.
Foreign:
Four weekends: (although TLJ seems to be missing a weekend...?)
TFA - $921m
TLJ -$634m
Right now it's basically doing less than half in it's better markets of what the previous did. But that might be comparing fourth to fifth, comparing TLA's 5th to the 4th listed week, it's in TLJ's favor. I have no idea.

How would you rate it compared to other Marvel films? I thought it looked kinda good from the trailers but I'm not really a marvel fan. Will see it once it gets to the $2 theater probably. I just saw Thor in theaters last week :P

Quote from: Xevross on Feb 17, 2018, 02:29 PMBlack Panther is heading for the 6th biggest 3-day weekend opening of all time in the US. That's absolutely insane.Woah, way higher than expected. I'm guessing the great reviews helped
Currently predicted at $187m for the 3 day weekend, and about $215m for the 4 day weekend. That 4 day total would put it just above Age of Ultron and slightly below The Avengers at the top of the MCU openings.
It puts it well clear of Iron Man 3's solo opening record ($174m) and by far the highest Origins film.
Another fun fact, if it does reach its forecasts then it should pass Justice League's total in less than a week.
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Feb 17, 2018, 02:49 PMWoah, way higher than expected. I'm guessing the great reviews helpedAudience scores are getting bombed by racists/ DC fans/ other haters. Its pretty much universally liked by actual audiences.
The movie seems to be very divisive on imdb. Only 7.7 so early and popular user reviews don't seem happy. Wouldn't surprise me that the movie got judged more fairly by critics due to the political/racial factors even though I'm sure the movie is very good. But is it 88 on meta good?

Kinda is the MCU version of wonder woman, in the sense that it's become a juggernaut out of nowhere.I expect only Avengers films and possible sequels will be able to top this in the MCU. Civil War is pretty much as big as it gets outside of Avengers and BP has beaten that by a fair way.
Doubt it'll be topped for a long time.
Quote from: Xevross on Feb 19, 2018, 07:51 AMSo apparently BP is in the brink of taking the all time Sunday gross record from TFA, which means it's looking at a 3 day weekend of around $202m. dang it just keeps getting crazier.The fudge happened with this movie?
Edit: so the four day estimates have increased to $241-243m with this. Which would put it above TLJ for the four day total, as #2 of all time. Insane.
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Feb 19, 2018, 09:25 AMThe fudge happened with this movie?apparently they pushed the race card here and its getting people to watch it. as if this is the first movie to ever have a black lead. smart marketing if you ask me.
Overseas numbers are modest in comparison
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Feb 19, 2018, 01:08 PMDo you think it could top last jedi? GloballyThere is a very real chance. You would have laughed if you heard that a few months ago.
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Feb 19, 2018, 01:08 PMDo you think it could top last jedi? Globallyi doubt it. i doubt it will have the legs to do so. the surge in interest for this movie seems to be about the race of the actors, and i doubt that will help legs as much as it was genuine interest in the movie or character.
Quote from: Legend on Feb 19, 2018, 06:59 PMDo we know if Marvel was planning a direct sequel? Sure seems it'll be happening now.Well there's plenty of Black Panther comics to go off, and without spoiling the comics, T'Challa is a/ the major Avenger going forward, so they almost certainly were already planning a sequel.

I think black people are especially loving it. The legs are going to be interesting to watch, but I hope they're good enough for the MCU's fourth $1bn film.

Quote from: Xevross on Feb 25, 2018, 12:20 PMBlack Panther posts easily the second best second Saturday ever. It looks like it might get close to hitting box office mojo's ridiculous early prediction after all.Where do you see the numbers so early?
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Feb 25, 2018, 12:52 PMWhere do you see the numbers so early?Box office theory forums. They have two insiders with access to all the numbers pretty much as they come in from all the cinemas. It's usually a poster called Rth who gives his estimate for the day once he's got most of the data. He said 47.8 about 8 hours ago, and Disney official numbers should come in a couple of hours. (Weekend currently looking like 105-110, which beats avengers for 2nd best 2nd weekend)

People liked Finding Dory, but I never felt a desire to watch it.
Coco has gotten some great reviews, but at the same time to me, it just doesn't seem like a Pixar movie in terms of quality.
But Inside Out is a national treasure!
I'm like 85% sure I cried the first time I saw it.
Quote from: Xevross on Feb 25, 2018, 06:50 PMWHAT. Inside Out was amazing! Finding Dory was fantastic! Coco is supposed to be really great and I want to watch it. I'm hoping incredibles 2 will be as well. Pixar is still strong as ever.

Quote from: Legend on Feb 25, 2018, 07:32 PMFinding Dory was probably a little worse. Pretty comparable to Monsters University.I can agree with this though.
Coco never looked good to me in the trailers but I won't judge it till I see it. My cousin loved it though but he's also the guy that liked Inside Out. Plus he's a Pixar fanboy who works in the industry so in general he likes every film they make.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 25, 2018, 08:04 PMNot here you haven't! (as far as I can tell.)
I am not sure how it's unoriginal. I can only think of a few pieces of medium that have ever really tried to depict the "voices" inside someone's head like IO did.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 25, 2018, 08:04 PMI can agree with this though.
Coco is weird for me. When I first saw the trailers, it reminded me of some cartoons that my 3 year old niece watches. So I was expecting it to be some kind of B movie.

Black Panther had the #2 second weekend of all time, beating Jurassic World and Avengers by a fair way. $112m was the actual, which is an insane performance. Its now looking fairly likely it'll become the #1 domestic superhero film of all time, may have a shot at #3 dom of all time (above Titanic at $659m).

Its overseas which is the focus now, can the OS performance take it above Civil War, Iron Man 3 or maybe even TLJ? Time will tell! Its 10 day WW total is about $710m, China will add an easy 100m+ to that so its getting there.
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Feb 26, 2018, 09:21 PMThe actuals are always above the estimates lol1.5 is impossible. Its only a phenomenon in the US. Overseas its 'only' doing very well and isn't breaking records (its performing slightly above Thor Ragnorok so far, which managed $538m overseas). Its looking like domestic will be about half of its total, putting its roof at 1.4b and it will likely fall short of that.
Im thinking 1.5b

Quote from: BananaKing on Feb 26, 2018, 10:40 PMHonestly I didn't expect it's legs to be this strong but holly fudge.Yeah I think most are expecting it to fall short of Civil War OS - but with how it keeps overperforming its not going to miss it by too much, if at all. If it can get close to Civil War's 745m overseas then its looking at a higher gross than The Last Jedi worldwide at over 1.3bn. It is tracking behind Civil War right now though, and China was big on Civil War too so it might fall further behind.
It's oversees performance is becoming a lot more interesting. Civil war did 700 million in international markets, can this beat it? Honestly I doubt it. Can this be an international juggernaut like jurassic world or fast and furious? If it pulls that kind of numbers then this will.be one of the biggest movies of all time. However I doubt it. I'm looking expert though so how is it tracking internationally?
Anyways, you can bet black panther will have a much bigger role in infinity wars 2 than Originally intended lol

Quote from: Xevross on Mar 02, 2018, 01:14 AMBP is having a solid week, but nothing too special so far.I want to see Infinity War since it's been hyped for a decade, but the trailers make me a bit worried it'll be a cameo fest and not really focus on the characters. Really hope I'm wrong.
Avengers Infinity War worldwide release date got moved forward to April 27th, matching the UK release date. I don't know why it was set to release a week earlier in the UK in the first place, but hey ho. They probably did this to avoid clashes with Deadpool 2 and Solo for better Avengers legs.
I'm more hyped for Infinity War than anything right now (God of War is 2nd), and I've possibly only ever been more hyped for Horizon's release. I so cannot wait.

Quote from: Xevross on Mar 04, 2018, 05:21 PMBlack Panther will become the third fastest film ever to hit $500m in the US today, just being out Jurassic World. Its heading for a $66m third weekend, which is an incredible hold of -40% from last weekend. That also already puts it into the top 10 of all time total US gross.Crazy how US centric it's doing. Number 10 domestic yet number 47 world wide. Rogue One is the only other recent blockbuster to make the majority of its money in America. Will be interesting to see how the release in China changes this.
WW it will hit almost exactly $900m after this weekend, $1b will come next week.
Edit: oh and that makes it the #5 MCU film worldwide (#2 domestic already), behind Avengers, Age of Ultron, Iron Man 3 and Civil War. Its already topped the three films of last year. Crazy.

Rogue One is the only other recent blockbuster to make the majority of its money in America. Will be interesting to see how the release in China changes this.China is always a guaranteed $100m+ for MCU films, so instead of being a standout it'll just be fairly US centric in the end. If China is big enough it will probably still make more money overseas, like every other MCU film.
Quote from: Dr. Pez on Mar 04, 2018, 10:05 PMStill don't think it can make 1.5b? 1b so soonTLJ had an incredible week at this point due to christmas holidays. It fell off a cliff after that though, BP should pass it pretty soon.
Interesting that it seems to have fallen quite a bit behind the last jedi now. It was like 1m behind and now it's over 15m behind
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 04, 2018, 11:06 PMI'm kinda curious how China is going to like it.BP is tracking above Spiderman, which made about $120m in total. So BP should do well. $1.3bn will be close for sure.
From what i understand, China tends to be pretty racist towards black people. Wonder how that'll factor in. Hopefully the movie is successful and positive.
QuoteDespite the praise he received, Makoto Shinkai insisted that the film is not as good as it could have been: "There are things we could not do, Masashi Ando [Director of animation] wanted to keep working [on] but had to stop us for lack of money ... For me it's incomplete, unbalanced. The plot is fine but the film is not at all perfect. Two years was not enough
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 05, 2018, 04:46 PMYour Name is getting a live action remake by paramount studios and JJ Abrams is on board.Sounds like a perfectionist
On another note, the director of the animated version is unhappy with all the praise. Doesn't like being compared to Miyazaki.
Also this:

If it has a great plot, then awesome, but if not then get it outta there.

Maybe it can do $30m this weekend worldwide.
Should pretty easily make another $50m in the US. Jurassic World did about that at this point, and BP is tracking way ahead of it thus far.
$1.3 billion is pretty much a lock, I think.

I don't know if I'd try to convince anyone to go and watch it but if you're interested its worth a watch.That's what I was expecting.
Its probably much more fun to watch as a gamer as well, my friends who aren't gamers that I watched it with didn't like it so much.

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Apr 05, 2018, 08:54 PM1.5b back on the menu, Boyz!Lol, the limit is probably around 1.36bn, unfortunately. And I'm saying that high so I have only like a 0.1% chance of being wrong :P

A Quiet Place is doing incredibly well at the box office. Already made way more than its budget in the first weekend.
Black Panther is still performing strongly and has reached 1.3bn WW. TLJ's total is looking pretty toast now, Black Panther needs $32m more and is looking to get at least another $25m in North America alone.

Jesus H. Christ.
That includes Black Panther, which opened at $200m, Civil War which opened at $180m and five more films. TFA's opening weekend record seems like its going to fall, and the next few days after that are probably selling out as well.
Edit: also don't forget that Black Panther had the highest pre sales of any MCU film ever. Infinity War has already surpassed that, and then some, with over 2 weeks to go.

Quote from: Xevross on Apr 26, 2018, 10:12 PMSoon we'll be talking about Infinity War's box office success (predicted at $230m opening weekend for NA by the way) but Black Panther is having an incredible week. Its actually up week over week, by a fair margin. It had a huge tuesday jump (+44%), and then only fell 7% on wednesday. That's unheard of. $700m domestic is back on the table.Just when you think the train is stopping, it just keeps plowing through.
You can see how crazy BP has been doing recently here Movie Showdown (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/showdowns/chart/?view=daily&id=openingweekendshowdown.htm) its currently doubling TFA's daily comparisons, and TFA made another $13m from here.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 27, 2018, 02:57 PMWas it packed?Midnight showing the screen was 2/3 full. The most full I've ever seen a midnight release (more than TLJ and Rogue One). The midday showing on Thursday had barely anyone in, shockingly enough.
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 28, 2018, 03:59 PMSo here's a stat. The all time full opening record is The Force Awakens at $580m. That's the total if you add the opening for every single country as if they were the same week.Holly fudge.
Infinity War has a very decent shot at over $800m. Insanity.
Quote from: BananaKing on Apr 28, 2018, 04:06 PMHolly fudge.Nah I think people are just rushing out to see it early, rather than it being incredibly popular overall. Of course there's no real way to tell either way yet though. I'd guess 1.8-1.9 total though, which is still amazing for a comic book movie.
2 billion + world wide confirmed.

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Apr 28, 2018, 06:28 PMThe fudge? How?Its either almost matching or beating TFA everywhere right now, plus Asia is much, much bigger for Marvel than Star Wars. About half of that difference will come from China, the rest from places like South Korea, Thailand, India.
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 29, 2018, 10:23 PMBlack Panther passed TLJ! Wooh! Holy balls, the MCU is bigger than Star Wars. Pretty much no disputing that now. (talking box office only :P )Well they had to have a very well received movie do it to a less well received one.
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 30, 2018, 02:25 PMInfinity War has finally come in at $258m domestic (new record by $10m over TFA) and $640m WW (new record by $99m over Fast 7). Nice.Cray

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 04, 2018, 03:36 PMSo the weird Japanese movie I saw:I feel like I've seen a western movie with the same premise.
Basically there's this couple, who experiences days backwards from each other.
So her last day with him is his first day with her.
She doesn't remember his yesterday, she only knows what to do because he told her what she did.
They get to see each other for a month every 5 years. And they date when they are 20. And he tells her about it when she is 15 and he's 25.
They both saved each other's like when the one was 35, and the other was 5.
Quote from: Legend on May 05, 2018, 02:48 AMI feel like I've seen a western movie with the same premise.I wonder what it would have been.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 05, 2018, 03:48 AMI wonder what it would have been.Haha I figured it out
Its kind of an interesting premise, I don't even know of any that are similar. The movie wasn't the best, but it was alright.
The closest one that I can think of is Benjamin Button, but even that's still pretty different from this.
Quote from: Xevross on May 05, 2018, 04:53 PMNot a very impressive Friday (relatively) for Infinity War, looks like the spillover is ending and the legs aren't going to be anything special. Tomorrow we'll get a better picture but >TFA WW is looking less likely.Yeah I think the good but not incredible reviews will bring it down a bit
Obviously its still looking very good though, that's why we're comparing it to the $2bn+ films and not Avengers 1/ Jurassic World area.
Quote from: Legend on May 06, 2018, 05:00 PMCrazy that Black Panther will make more money than Infinity War.How is that even possible
Quote from: Legend on May 06, 2018, 05:00 PMCrazy that Black Panther will make more money than Infinity War.Well I guess Black Panther just took off in America. I don't think BP is going to be even close to IW's gross in any other country. IW has a very strong chance (in fact I'd say its more likely than now) to more than double BP's overseas take. But its more likely to fall short of even matching BP domestically. Crazy.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 07, 2018, 02:46 PMIW sped up . :oSped up?
Quote from: Xevross on May 07, 2018, 04:29 PMSped up?Its pretty meaningless.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 07, 2018, 04:49 PMIts pretty meaningless.TFA is a very bad comparison for most films, for quite a few reasons. It would have been absolutely shocking if the friday jump for IW was less than it was for TFA (+80%). TFA had monumentally high weekdays, thanks to Christmas period and other reasons, and still saw an okay jump at the weekend too. That's why it holds the record 2nd weekend by an extremely wide margin at $149m (in fact IW has just gone into 2nd place with $115.5m, ahead of BP).
It saw a bigger day to day increase than TFA, for the second weekend. (Mostly due to being behind over the week).
It was 2 days behind to reach $350m, but only 1 day behind to reach $400m.
(But it'll fall behind again.)
Strong weekend.
Quote from: Xevross on May 07, 2018, 05:51 PMAnd another is that TFA was a weird monster and shouldn't really be used for comparisons anyway :PBut you've been comparing it to TFA.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 07, 2018, 06:11 PMBut you've been comparing it to TFA.I compared its opening weekend to TFA. That's fine, an opening weekend is an opening weekend no matter what kind of film it is. And in fact TFA is probably one of the best comps for IW's opening weekend. Mainly because raw numbers are the most important things for an OW.
You just don't like me, that's what this is! :'(
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 07, 2018, 06:21 PMI'm a big believer that you can compare whatever you want, as long as you understand what you are comparing.Well sure but you'd have to list the caveats every time you do. With the Avengers films you just say better/ worse and you know what that means.
I think you're starting to get a little silly about this. :P
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 07, 2018, 06:26 PMI'm gonna start comparing it to Ant man.Lol, Ant Man isn't particularly interesting so you can understand this. I can't see the sequel improving too much either (although it will get a nice Avengers bump). And sure you can put the numbers up for the total gross and compare it to any film, but while its still running and making money it doesn't really say much. Like wow, Infinity War is a lot bigger than Ant-Man, who would have thought that?!?!
Domestic (10 days)
Ant man: ~$106m
IW: ~$450m
Worldwide (total)
Ant man: $519,311,965
IW: $1,165,409,800

It's got quite the range on Metacritic. It literally has a 0 and a 100. Seems like a divisive movie. :o

It was boring, the songs were few and far between while also being pretty boring and shame. The story was meh, didn't click for me like I guess its supposed to.
I don't like it at all.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 10, 2018, 04:09 PMAt the risk of Xev yelling at me... ;DYeah BP and IW have been running so close its awesome. IW's lead is pretty much all from the opening weekend (with BP's holiday monday cancelling out IW's higher first weekdays). I'm hoping they'll continue to be closely matched until next Thursday, when DP2 will undoubtedly cut away IW's legs. That would point to IW possibly making it to $700m. Its great that BP is the best comp right now, because the legs on BP were crazy good.

Quote from: Xevross on May 10, 2018, 04:23 PMLol well in raw numbers, it does show you how small Ant-Man was compared to IW. But comparing the relative drops/ holds is still a fun thing to do. Ant-Man is probably the most disappointing MCU film in terms of box office. #2 should be better.Ant Man is my favorite comparison. I was laughing the whole time making it.
Quote from: Xevross on May 10, 2018, 04:27 PMSpeaking of IW, wednesday came in at 7.0m, so still above BP although the gap is narrowing. That's decent.Nice. That trend is looking sweet.

The biggest problem is the discontinuity with TFA. Every major plot point TFA sets up, TLJ seems to disregard and do its own thing. If TFA was different and built up to what TLJ actually became, people would like it more.
How did Leia survive outside in space though lol?

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 11, 2018, 01:01 PMIn what ways? I'm guessing they wanted it to be darker.Um no, not at all. The fanbase thought it was way too dark. In their mind characters like Luke are pure heroes and having them make mistakes/ fail is basically heresy.
The movie felt a lot like empire strikes back though. That final battle for example. I heard some complaints about the humor and honestly I thought it just made it more enjoyable. Didn't notice much more than a few jokes but I had heard there were a lot and in inappropriate moments.
Was it thanks to the ring she had? Didn't know Leia could control the force

Of course she can control the force, I just don't she has ever bothered too much before. She's as much of a Skywalker as Luke is, her powers could be comparable to his if she trained them.

Hmm well then I've read some conflicting complaints. On the one hand it's too light hearted, and on the other it's too dark.
Also, I'm glad Ren is supposed to be the ultimate baddie over Snoke. I like my villains conflicted
Quote from: Xevross on May 11, 2018, 03:10 PMIW opens to $71m in China. It had the worst pre-sales to actual box office sales ratio ever, but its still enough for #3 opening day of all time behind FF8 and MH2.LAME!
Quote from: Xevross on May 11, 2018, 03:10 PMFF8 also has the record low Saturday pre-sales to final ratio (at 3.0), and its almost certain IW will break that record low too. Thankfully, IW's saturday presales are absolutely massive, so even if it only manages 2.5x, it will still make over 500M Yen on Saturday, which is pretty much the number needed for $200m OW. (Pre-sales are just over 200M Yen for Saturday).Why is this in yen?

TFA was enjoyable to watch but frustratingly stupid from a script/canon point of view so it was nice that TLJ took the franchise in its own direction. As long as Abrams doesn't come back and make episode 9 a copy of Return of the Jedi, we should be good.Spoiler for Hidden:

Quote from: Xevross on May 13, 2018, 11:15 AMSo that disastrous Sunday drop in China needed to miss $200m is actually happening. Its going to land almost exactly on $200m, 50/50 on whether it gets it. dang you China. After smashing the pre-sales record, this is a very disappointing weekend, its nowhere near the record in Yuan. It might set a new dollar opening record in China, but that's all due to exchange rates. Hopefully China can still land with over $300m lifetime, $350m would be fantastic from this point.Great stuff in any case!
$27m domestic saturday apparently, that's a strong bump sort of in the middle of Avengers and BP bumps. Its going to come quite close to $700m domestic imo, next weekend will be the big deicder with DP2 releasing.
With just over $1b overseas - China, just over $300m in China and just under $700m dom, this should just reach $2bn WW in total. I'd say its a 60/40 chance to hit/miss $2bn right now.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 13, 2018, 01:54 PMGreat stuff in any case!Of course. I didn't see this film making it to $2bn before the first numbers came out. I was thinking $1.6-1.8b. This is all excellent.

On RT its 73% with a 6.5 average rating. That's pretty good but by far the worst of the new Era, about what I expected (and much lower than IW and DP2).

Quote from: Xevross on May 19, 2018, 12:22 AMUgh terrible numbers for IW on thursday and friday. Deadpool really hit it hard. Deadpool itself isn't doing that hot either, seems like the opening week will fall decently short of the first film (although its all about context of course, its still going for an opening of way over $100m, which is excellent for an R rated film). If overseas is hit this hard for IW then $2bn is at risk of being missed.I'm sure marvel and Disney are crying in a huge pool of cash made from 1.7b bucks.
Quote from: BananaKing on May 19, 2018, 01:22 AMI'm sure marvel and Disney are crying in a huge pool of cash made from 1.7b bucks.Lol, well I don't care about the money Disney makes. As an MCU fan I really want to see it reach $2bn :D
Quote from: Xevross on May 20, 2018, 03:24 PMLol, well I don't care about the money Disney makes. As an MCU fan I really want to see it reach $2bn :DProbably has quite a bit to do with release timing
It reached $1.8bn with the weekend numbers, seems to be heading for the range between $2b and TFA's $2.07b now. Deadpool 2 had a great opening of just over $300M worldwide. Didn't quite match the first film, which is a shame but it will make some good money.
Sequels almost always have a higher proportion of their BO on the opening weekend, so making less money than the first during OW means its almost guaranteed to fall quite a bit short of the first film overall.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 20, 2018, 05:08 PMProbably has quite a bit to do with release timingYeah if IW wasn't around it would have performed slightly better. Its got to face Solo next week which will cut away its legs immediately. This release date for DP2 was a complete mistake for Fox. They could have grown the franchise but now its damage control.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 21, 2018, 05:59 PMSo I figured out why Star Wars trilogy is bad.Um what?
It's because of diversity. Too many black people and women.

Quote from: BananaKing on May 24, 2018, 10:35 AMHaving a starwars film every year is just oversaturating and bringing the franchise down.Oh definitely. Me and my friends were talking about this and I was telling them how bad it is for the longevity of the franchise.
The hype for their movies is really going down and it seems solo will make things worse rather than better. I wonder if Disney will continue with this approach or start spacing the movies out.
Honestly it seems Disney over estimated how big Starwars as a franchise is and how much it can milk it in the short term.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 25, 2018, 01:23 AMI blame political correctness.Lol I think the crowd who are angry at PC/ SJW shizwaz will probably help reduce this film's gross by only a miniscule amount. The biggest failings for Solo are lack of interest, mainly due to releasing so soon after TLJ. Also Summer competition doesn't help. If it was released in December I think it'd do maybe up to 50% better. It was such a dumb decision by Disney.Spoiler for Hidden:

Anyway, Australia is down 70% from Rogue One on OD. I don't think there's any country where the early numbers are even remotely okay. I think the UK is the only big place we haven't seen yet, the last glimmer of hope (well along with full OD numbers for Dom).

Its mostly just sexists/ alt-right people who have these issues.
In the starwars universe it's perfectly fine, reasonable and honesty expected to have females take on roles of power and fighting the empire. The force and being a Jedi isn't naughtiness exclusive and it would be out of place if there were no female characters in lead roles.
There is a difference between mixing things up and flat out pushing a political agenda. Usually the latter deters a lot from the quality of the movie/game/story.

Solo international first two days - $11.4m, less than a third of Rogue One. That's absolutely atrocious.
Quote from: Legend on May 25, 2018, 05:00 PMYeah unless you're a full out super racist/sexist and think people of color/women shouldn't be in media, it makes no sense to boycott something for being "PC." Either the changes harmed the movie/game/story and you'd just avoid it because it's not that good, or the movie/game/story is good and there's no negative for making the changes.What bugs me though is when people complain about when a movie/game/series clearly makes a political driven change, and those who don't like it are labeled sexist/racist because they don't like it. An example would be the battlefield 5 case. There were no women in the British infantry, and people complaining about that inaccuracy are suddenly sexist. It's annoying.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 25, 2018, 06:05 PMUh ohYeah. If it plays the weekend like a normal star wars movie (preview dominated) this will be a complete disaster. Like, with a normal SW preview multiplier this is heading way below $100m for the 3 day. Disney gotta hope for an unprecedented amount of walk-ups for the franchise. Thankfully, it is memorial Day weekend so it's possible.
Quote from: Xevross on May 25, 2018, 07:08 PMLord above, Deadline are saying the full Friday number will be $33m. This is an early estimate and could be quite a way off, but if that does transpire then this is going to be even worse than anyone could have forseen. I am stunned as to how this could be below $35m, I hope its wrong.I mean there was zero hype. It's not that surprising.

Quote from: Legend on May 25, 2018, 07:22 PMI mean there was zero hype. It's not that surprising.I'd agree with you if we were just talking about slightly disappointing numbers here. The lack of hype was what was leading people to predict $700-800m WW total with a $150m OW domestically. People thought since it was a Star Wars film it'd still have a decent base level of popularity. If Deadline's $33m is right, along with the horror show that is the OS numbers, this is unlikely to even make it to $500m. There's lack of hype and then there's that. For it to be this low, there has to be fairly widespread boycotts and general massive negativity around the fanbase.

Quote from: Xevross on May 22, 2018, 01:01 PMSpeaking of $700m, that's a worldwide total target that's being talked about for Solo. Quite a lot of BO followers think it might fall under that. Now that would be absolutely catastrophic. Its going to be an interesting one to follow. The 4 day memorial-day OW record is $139m, held by Pirates World's End. Solo not setting a new record would be the first sign of a disastrous BO run.Man, how things have changed in just a few days. I said not beating $140m would point to a possible disaster, and its going to miss it by about $40m, just shows you how bad it is.
Quote from: Xevross on May 27, 2018, 09:49 AMFull Solo Friday came in at $35.6M (bad, I thought 35M was the bare minimum after the preview number). Asgard is saying 24.6 for Saturday (bad). It might not even make $100M 4-day. Holy shame what a disaster.Wow. Missing the 500$ mark? That's insanely bad.
Man, how things have changed in just a few days. I said not beating $140m would point to a possible disaster, and its going to miss it by about $40m, just shows you how bad it is.
Quite likely to miss $500m WW at this point. That'd be a huge loss of money for Disney, and a massive collapse for the franchise.
Quote from: BananaKing on May 27, 2018, 11:05 AMWow. Missing the 500$ mark? That's insanely bad.Yeah exactly. The demographic that turns up to Star Wars films doesn't want films so often, not to mention films that no one really asked for.
Don't get me wrong. I'm happy about this cause I want starwars to just fudge off already lol.
But seriously, after TLJ and this Disney should take a hard look at starwars and realise it's not the franchise they thought it was. Milking it this hard going forward will destroy it and run it to the ground. This isn't another MCU.
Quote from: Xevross on May 27, 2018, 03:21 PMSolo domestic 3 day early estimate ~ $83m, overseas ~$65m. Oh dear. Oh dear oh dear.Wow. This is more than just franchise fatigue imo. Maybe people just didn't want a Solo film, especially without Ford himself
Unless legs are crazy, this will be closer to $400m than $500m. What a crazy collapse.
Deadpool 2 had a very bad 66% drop to its second domestic weekend, and Infinity War seems like its numbers will be okay-ish.
Not a good weekend for any of the big three.
Edit: I didn't even think but that's a $148m global debut for Solo. Tracking only a week ago thought that was the low end for the domestic debut. My oh my. The same tracking put the global debut at around $300m, its managed half of that.

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 27, 2018, 03:39 PMWow. This is more than just franchise fatigue imo. Maybe people just didn't want a Solo film, especially without Ford himselfYes this is a combination of a very large number of negative factors. I have no idea how to unpick this, just a few days ago I was thinking it would do way better than this, and that was still bad. Thus isn't just lack of money for Disney, this movie will lose them quite a bit more than $100m. Something's gotta change after this. Its sad to see too, they really should have stuck to much less regular SW films, and actually listened to fans.
Quote from: Xevross on May 28, 2018, 12:48 PMSeems like Solo was underestimated by about 1 million in the US on Sunday, some good news for it. Although its not really Solo performing better than expected, every film is going to be higher than estimated thanks to memorial day sunday being better than anticipated. IW is also going to be over a million up for example, and its weekend will end up being extremely good.Jeez
Solo was massively overestimated overseas though, we don't know by how much in total but it was $3m in the UK alone (Solo did about $7m rather than 10) I don't really know what happened there.
Quote from: BananaKing on May 28, 2018, 01:02 PMI follow movie performance's here by reading xevx comments lol. He just gives the full picture.Thanks! I do usually leave out smaller films though.
Glad to see solo bombing! Yaaay for no starwars!
I gotta say, I get Disney didn't anticipate Starwars going this way back when they purchased it. TFA certainly did huge numbers. Rogue one did great for a spin off. But TLJ and Solo have now under performed. And EA has released just two star wars games, the first under delivered critically, the second bombed critically and sold much less than anticipated.
EA also cancelled a starwars game, and after 5 years just Dice released a game when it seemed all thier studios have been working on a project at some point.
Other than the MMO, EA has also yet to release their own starwars sub genre. Battlefront was there long ago and it was created by EA.
After so much emphasis on Starwars by EA the last few years they have so little to show for it.
Quote from: Xevross on May 28, 2018, 02:11 PMMan I just realised that Solo really doesn't have much of a chance of making $500m. If it gets Rogue One legs it will reach about $515m, but here's some reasons why that is very unlikely.Another positive for Solo is that there's nothing coming out in the next two months or so, until Jurassic Park
- Rogue One was a better film - critically and in the view of the general audience (RO got an A Cinemascore, Solo got A-)
- Rogue One opened at the start of Christmas - there's very little competition there and much more holidays for it to do well in
- Rogue One opened late in China - so its $69m China total was all after the OW. If you line up RO's China launch, then RO legs gets Solo to $462m instead.
Now I guess SW fans ignoring Solo in its first week gives it a chance at better legs, as they go and see it later. So I think optimistically it could reach that $460m, although that's probably the high end for it now.
Quote from: BananaKing on May 28, 2018, 01:02 PMI follow movie performance's here by reading xevx comments lol. He just gives the full picture.Wonder if respawn's Star Wars game will be announced at E3.
Glad to see solo bombing! Yaaay for no starwars!
I gotta say, I get Disney didn't anticipate Starwars going this way back when they purchased it. TFA certainly did huge numbers. Rogue one did great for a spin off. But TLJ and Solo have now under performed. And EA has released just two star wars games, the first under delivered critically, the second bombed critically and sold much less than anticipated.
EA also cancelled a starwars game, and after 5 years just Dice released a game when it seemed all thier studios have been working on a project at some point.

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 28, 2018, 04:00 PMAnother positive for Solo is that there's nothing coming out in the next two months or so, until Jurassic ParkUm, well no. Jurassic World is releasing early overseas (i.e. starting next week in some places), so that will cut short Solo's overseas legs. Incredibles 2 is launching in a couple of weeks time in the US and some other places too. Those two will almost certainly be the top two films of the Summer (not counting IW), so yeah. Its not good for Solo.

Quote from: Xevross on May 31, 2018, 03:53 PMOof it gets worse for Solo. Wednesday dropped 35% from Tuesday to 4.8m, which is the worst out of all the recent films to launch on memorial day weekend. Far from legs saving it from embarrassment, legs are actually even worse than expectedGreat news!

Quote from: Legend on Jun 01, 2018, 04:32 PMHas the deal with Disney buying Fox gone through? I wonder if this will push them into putting more on Avatar 2-5 to pick up from Star Wars slowing down.Not yet. I think Avatar 2-5 are getting enough funding anyway. JC is a top director and won't waste money, so $250m per movie is loads.

Quote from: Legend on Jun 06, 2018, 07:38 AMIs your TV properly calibrated?Calibrated by me using plenty of online instructions yeah. Well hdr will make dark scenes darker but it shouldn't ruin the detail. Maybe the movie was just supposed to be really dark at times.
I'd imagine HDR should make dark scenes more visible. Or maybe my tv is the one that's messed up.

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jun 17, 2018, 11:15 AMWtf will incredibles open with over 200m?No, no chance of that. $180M looks pretty good though, which as I said would be extraordinary considering the next best animated movie opening is $135M.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jun 17, 2018, 05:06 PMIncredibles 2 180m estimated. Solo at almost 340m globally!Yeah, phenomenal and dreadful. Solo has pretty much finished as well, it's not going to make 40m more from current markets, and I don't know if Japan can carry it to 400m.
Quote from: BananaKing on Jun 24, 2018, 11:47 PMJurassic world opened up with 150 million. Better than expected it seems. The movie is at 700+ million already. It's easily gonna hit 1 billion. And with "just" a production budget of 170 million seems it's gonna be a huge success.Yeah its a good opening and better than most have been expecting recently. Its a good success for them, and it just shows how popular the franchise is considering how bad the reviews and reaction are yet its still making this much. Also its a fair way down on the opening of the first but that was definitely expected. The first film took off in an unexpected way.

So people seem to like it.
Depending on legs it'll challenge BP for #2 spot in 2018,, but its likely to fall around $100m short. I think Incredibles 2 will fall short of JW, as the second weekend hold hasn't been that great. Still its set for nicely over a billion WW which is a great result for Pixar. If I2 has good legs from here and does well overseas it could well have a go at JW though, which would be fun.
Solo is crawling to 400m, needs around 25-30m from Japan. It'll be close.
Quote from: BananaKing on Jun 25, 2018, 03:03 AMIt's having a high cinemascore though. A-. So people seem to like it.Cinemascore is weird. An A- is more average than high, for a big budget blockbuster with great special effects and action an A- is about as low as it goes with a B+ being basically a panning. For example, we all know how much TLJ was hated by a lot of people yet that still scored an A. The latest Transformers film was absolutely dire by all accounts and that got a B+. All this says is that people like blockbusters, there's a reason they earn so much money.
This franchise is weird. The first film is considered a classic and well loved. But the second and third are considered horrible, yet people seemed to disregard when it came to this new reboots. The hype for Jurassic world was insane considering 2 out of 3 movies sucked dog.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 03, 2018, 03:29 PMI saw the new Jurassic World. I actually ended up liking it a fair bit. It was stupid and started hilariously bad but maybe ~30 minutes into the film it started coming together. Enjoyed it more than the first one and Coco.My mum had the same opinion. She really liked the first JW and thought it was a great film. She said this one was bad but in a funny and enjoyable way.
I also saw Coco. Man am I just not a fan of modern Pixar's art choices. I was annoyed with how generally animated the movie was but once it moved over to the spirit world I started to like it. Probably the best Pixar film I've seen in a long time. I enjoyed the story and could see why people thought it was sad but personally it wasn't.

I do wonder if nostalgia is the primary reason why I thought they were great yet the modern stuff is good to bad.
Well at least you thought Coco was Pixar's best in a while, that I can agree with. I guess you're just not a big fan of Pixar, I thought Coco was fantastic.

Better previews than Doctor Strange and GOTG which opened at 85 and 94M. So 90M opening is possible, which would be fantastic. Early Friday numbers are saying $34M Friday though, which would be okay.

Really does make Ant-Man look small. Its just nowhere near as popular as the other MCU films. You can see why though, its just not that interesting.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 11, 2018, 09:26 PMI know it doesn't make the big bucks, but quality wise its up with gotg. Not low teir stuff like thor.Yeah but I'm talking scale, spectacle and significance. It's the lowest in that measure very easily, that's the big difference maker in terms of box office.
Quote from: nnodley on Jul 14, 2018, 08:34 PMFinally watched Get Out. I liked the ideas it presented in the movie, but I can't say it was my favorite movie. Some good twists that I kind of expected, but had a couple variations of them in my head most of the time.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 14, 2018, 11:20 PMMission impossible just keeps getting better apparently!New one looks great.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 14, 2018, 11:34 PMNew one looks great.Yup many say it's the best one and even one of the all time action movie greats
Getting good reviews?
Quote from: Legend on Jul 14, 2018, 11:34 PMNew one looks great.Yeah what Pez said, its got 93% on RT. I'm so hyped, the last one is probably my favourite spy/ agent film ever.
Getting good reviews?
Quote from: Legend on Jul 14, 2018, 11:13 PMWoohoo maybe my thoughts on the movie weren't wrong!!!Yeah I probably wouldn't put it in my top 30, but maybe top 50. I watched the alternate ending to it too. Definitely good they went with the ending they put in theaters.
Yeah it's not a bad movie. I just don't consider it that great either.
Haven't seen those other two movies.
Quote from: nnodley on Jul 15, 2018, 12:14 AMYeah I probably wouldn't put it in my top 30, but maybe top 50. I watched the alternate ending to it too. Definitely good they went with the ending they put in theaters.Well top 50 is very good!
I would recommend The Invitation only for the last 10 to 15 minutes and the final shot of the movie, but up until that it just took too long to where it was heading.
Radius was good and had a pretty good twist at the end I didn't see coming. Was also a slow burn movie
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 15, 2018, 12:43 AMWell top 50 is very good!Depends how many films you've watched I guess.
I really liked it but probably wouldn't make top 100 for me lol
Quote from: Xevross on Jul 15, 2018, 12:44 AMDepends how many films you've watched I guess.I've only seen 51 movies, it's easy to make a list.
I can barely remember all of mine, making a list would be impossibly difficult
Quote from: Xevross on Jul 15, 2018, 12:44 AMDepends how many films you've watched I guess.Well me and my friends used to spend almost entire summers watching movies back in the day. A few days per week that is where we watched 1 or 2 at a time. We mostly watched movies from imdb's top 250 list lulz
I can barely remember all of mine, making a list would be impossibly difficult

Nah, I've seen a few hundred at least.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 15, 2018, 12:43 AMWell top 50 is very good!I only recently(like past 4 or 5 years) begun watching more and more. Before that I watched them, but never really paid attention to most of them so most of those I wouldn't really count.
I really liked it but probably wouldn't make top 100 for me lol

Us too, we buy most movies I've seen

Been kinda weird. Usually I'm the last to watch new movies.

Also watched The Invitation. Super slow burn movie with a decent ending.
Now trying Radius. Man gets in a crash and then everything in a certain radius of him starts dying. Just started so we will see if it's good. it has a high 91% on rotten tomatoes

I'm pumped!

It tried to be good and I liked some things about it but it really lacked polish imo. A lot of the elements just didn't fit together as good as they should have. Robot was great.Spoiler for Hidden:
Quote from: Xevross on Jul 21, 2018, 11:47 PMSpeaking of Frozen, holy shame did that film do well in Japan. Like its only a smidgeon below Titanic for #2 imported film of all time. It made a total of $249m in Japan, which is by far its biggest overseas market. I wonder why it was so popular. Maybe its that kind of animated musical film they love... but Moana only made $45m there so surely it can't be that. Weird.I found this article
QuoteOne factor that helped contribute to the success of Frozen was the local voice and song casting. Anna and Elsa were voiced by Sayaka Kanda and Takako Matsu, two singers and actresses whose performances received almost universal acclaim. Two postings of Matsu's Japanese version of Let It Go have more than 95 million hits on Youtube, and the song has been heard everywhere for months, while the bilingual soundtrack album has been in the top 10 since March, currently sitting at number two.
QuoteDisney's marketing in Japan originally targeted young women and girls with the somewhat unconventional dual-female lead characters and the film's musical-like qualities. Spreading from that core audience, Frozen began to attract a wide age range, getting occasional cinemagoers into theaters, and a large number of repeaters.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 21, 2018, 11:55 PMI found this articleYeah that explains why it was big but its still crazy how it was as huge as it was. Its run was crazy, it debuted with a $7.5m weekend and its next 10 weekends were all around or higher than that, it just never dropped. Japan is more leggy than other markets but that's still bonkers.
Why 'Frozen' Was Huge in Japan | Hollywood Reporter (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/why-frozen-was-huge-japan-720193)
So basically fantastic marketing, a song that translated over well, and popular voice actors.
Quote from: Xevross on Jul 22, 2018, 12:31 AMYeah that explains why it was big but its still crazy how it was as huge as it was. Its run was crazy, it debuted with a $7.5m weekend and its next 10 weekends were all around or higher than that, it just never dropped.

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 22, 2018, 12:44 AMFunny that it's the exact reverse situation with gamesYeah, its because there's not many screens in Japan, so the maximum capacity for one weekend is rather small. That means most people have to wait to see films and can't go out first weekend.
Quote from: Xevross on Jul 22, 2018, 09:40 AMHave you guys heard about what's happening with Disney and firing James Gunn? Basically James Gunn tweeted out against Trump when he was meeting Putin, saying he's in Putin's pocket and should be impeached. Which is probably true, but anyway... he also made a few other tweets against Trump. Trump's fans weren't happy about this so pressured Disney to fire him, which they did, in a stupid cowardly move. They cited some bad jokes he made over 10 years ago as the real reason, but that wasn't a problem for them when he made the first two Guardians movies so why is it now?Yeah. Maybe they didn't know about the tweets and someone showed them to them
So now Guardians 3 is in a bit of trouble due to having to find a new director, and James Gunn was fired for no good reason. Anyway, there's a petition (https://www.change.org/p/marvel-re-hire-james-gunn?recruiter=694971707&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_abi..&utm_term=psf_combo_share_abi..)to resign him which won't work but it shows support at least.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 22, 2018, 10:14 AMYeah. Maybe they didn't know about the tweets and someone showed them to themDisney has many people working there and it could also be a case of different people having different opinions, and only once the controversy started would the higher higher ups learn about it.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 22, 2018, 12:18 PMDisney has many people working there and it could also be a case of different people having different opinions, and only once the controversy started would the higher higher ups learn about it.Considering the incredible success of his movies I doubt he was supposed to be fired before
The thing that gets me is that they fired him so incredibly fast. I only heard about the controversy through him being fired. Firing him exclusively for PR reasons against that specific backlash seems unlikely. Either it's a moral reason from a different exec or he was already on the chopping block imo.

Mission Impossible Fallout is set to beat the franchise record OW, there's lots of buzz. No doubt the amazing 98% after 164 reviews on rotten tomatoes will be helping with that. I'm super excited to see it this weekend.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 26, 2018, 10:57 PMOh man what a movieNot sure how to feel about it. I quite liked it, but there was just something missing that would help make it click.

I can't see them trying to claim Deadpool has been part of the MCU all along or anything like that. They'll either keep it going and won't care or will reboot Deadpool into the MCU with new actors.
I just got back from a cheap showing of Deadpool 2. Was actually pretty awesome and a lot better than the first. (I didn't really like the first)
Wonder how Disney will deal with Thanos and Cable having the same actor.

Yeah that explains why the other live action remakes became a thing, even though I didn't really think about it belonging to the same category.

Also saw Pacific Rim Uprising. Was just as stupid as the first trailer painted it lol. Wouldn't say it was really bad but it's definitely not as good as the first film.

Quote from: Kerotan on Aug 10, 2018, 03:46 AMThere's talk the next James bond could be a black actor. Idris Elba. Personally would prefer if they stayed faithful to the novels. You wouldn't get a European to play a future Jackie Chan. Can't help but feel the success of black panther has triggered this.I've heard the Idris Elba rumors for a few years now so it definitely isn't solely a result from Black Panther.

Can't help but feel the success of black panther has triggered this.Well his ethnicity doesn't really have much to do with the character, but his nationality does. And there are many, many black British men.
Quote from: BananaKing on Aug 11, 2018, 01:57 AMWell his ethnicity doesn't really have much to do with the character, but his nationality does. And there are many, many black British men.He was white in the novels so if you are going to do this might aswell make the next Harry Potter Black, the next frodo Black, the next gandalf Black.
Your comparison is invalid, Jackie Chan is a real person, James bond is a fictional character.
Being white has no effect on the story or character of James bond, it's an espionage centric movie/story, and race has no affect on it. If this were a story were the main characters has a lot of identity in their appearance (for example Harry potter) then I'd agree that just adding a black actor for the sake of it would be a wrong choice. But I don't feel that applies to James Bond as long as he is British, charismatic, fit and a ladies man.
Quote from: Xevross on Aug 11, 2018, 01:05 AMHuh it's obviously going to be reversed. But what's the proper cost of it going to be in A4?There is no payoff though since that cost will be nothing compared to if the events were not reversed.

Quote from: Legend on Aug 31, 2018, 04:54 PMNope not yet.Superhero families is something pretty much only the incredibles does, and its the main focus of the film. It definitely still feels original and quite unique.
Although I was thinking about the fact that the first one released pre MCU and nowadays the concept feels so much less original.

QuoteQuote from: thismeintiel said:It's weird how someone does all of these graphs and research, yet you still choose to stay completely ignorant to facts. Yes, the industry was in a HUGE swing going into the 80's. Going from a time when movies were slow burns that stayed in the theater for over a year, to having huge openings and being gone within a few months.You missed the part where ROTJ's opening weekend was only 9% of its opening gross, and it was only $67.7M adjusted for the 3-day weekend, which is downright modest by today's standards. Sure, it may have set a record at the time, but that was highly atypical for a movie back then, it was still not a very front-loaded film (again, not even at half its lifetime gross after 30 days), and that record, even when adjusted for inflation, puts it at 234th place for all-time best opening weekends, bested by films like Troy, Scary Movie, and The Longest Yard, films not exactly know for record-shattering openings. Even if you added Memorial Day for the long weekend, it was at $89.7M adjusted, just shy of 12% its lifetime gross. Also, it's worth pointing out that the most front-loaded blockbusters of the 80s were, like ROTJ, all sequels to hit movies that were not very front-loaded at all. Ghostbusters II, Back to the Future Part II, Beverly Hills Cop 2, Lethal Weapon 2, Crocodile Dundee II, even The Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade to an extent. All vastly more front-loaded than their originals. But original films? E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Tootsie, Beverly Hills Cop, and Top Gun were among the best-performing films of the decade, and they were all relative slow burners that stayed in cinemas for at least half a year or more and took several months to reach ~90% of their lifetime gross.
For Christ's sake, ANH opened with just $8.5M, and that's adjusted for ticket price inflation. That would be a pathetic opening for pretty much any film today, especially a blockbuster. ESB opened with what would be the equivalent of $25M today. Definitely better, but still a flop for a big blockbuster film. Add in the fact that movies weren't staying in theaters longer than a year anymore, and the better opening didn't help it much. Now, look at ROTJ. It opened with $99.1M, adjusted, back in 1983, just 3 years after ESB. Even today, 35 years later, that's a great freaking opening for a mid-range blockbuster. Hell, that's actually what JL was expected to open with. Now, please explain away those numbers, numbers guy. No change in the industry? Please.
Put short, the increased front-loading of movies wasn't something that suddenly happened overnight in cinemas in the early 80s. The idea that some massive sea change in viewing habits by 1980 was what kept Empire from grossing what A New Hope did is entirely without merit or any supporting evidence. Those supposed changes in viewing habits after 1977 didn't keep E.T. (1982) or Titanic (1997) from netting well over a billion dollars adjusted gross in their original theatrical runs (and even Box Office Mojo has The Force Awakens at over a billion adjusted now). It takes a rare special movie to pull those kind of ticket sales, and The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi were not those movies.
Star Wars was brand new in 1997, limited in release, and took a ton of time and word of mouth to propel it to blockbuster status, but once it did it became a major pop culture phenomenon. It was something new, something fresh, something exciting, but it wasn't an overnight hit. But it ended up becoming the second highest-grossing film ever adjusted domestically. And neither ESB nor ROTJ were going to replicate that level of success, even if they had a full year. They didn't have the excuse of home video or TV broadcasts to drag them down a few months after premiering, either. They simply don't have any excuse for failing to draw the same kind of ticket sales ANH did. Not as many people felt they were worth seeing, or at least not multiple times, and they didn't have the same novelty that ANH did. And after three times of a Star Wars trilogy having a huge first entry and the follow-ups not doing as well, I think it's safe to say that we're seeing a pattern. Hell, when the original trilogy was re-released in 1997 as Special Editions, A New Hope grossed more than Empire and Jedi combined. Why? What was ESB and ROTJ's excuses then?
Personally, I think you and others who share your views simply feel the need to downplay TLJ's box office figures in order to support your narrative that the movie is objectively some sort of cinematic abomination. The very idea that film could be anything other than a financial disappointment is outright abhorrent to those who hated the film. You want the film to be viewed as a disappointment, because you hate it. And honestly, I haven't seen such a gross overreaction to a movie in my entire life. You know why so many people look down on geek culture? Petulant rage fits over movies not playing out like you wanted are almost certainly one reason why. Most people just want to enjoy a good movie (and it was good), and aren't going to engage in some asinine boycott and demanding producer resignations and director terminations because Luke Skywalker wasn't treated like Jesus Christ. The 30 Minutes Hate videos on YouTube are for a small niche of disgruntled Star Wars fans that have made this fanbase incredibly toxic, even more so than usual. Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy did not rape anyone's childhoods. Is it too much to ask for Star Wars fans to grow up and get a grip? Apparently so.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Sep 10, 2018, 11:49 PMView Post (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=8882486)He's right you know. TLJ did pretty much the standard for a sequel to a highly anticipated film, its box office was still good by all accounts. Solo is truly a disaster though, so I think TLJ will have negative BO effects down the line.

Quote from: Legend on Sep 19, 2018, 11:15 PMThat's funny that they redesigned him after a specific actor and then were able to higher him.
QuoteWhen the character resurfaced in 2002 in The Ultimates, he had been redesigned to look like actor Samuel L. Jackson.[4] and first appeared with this revised look in The Ultimates #1, as drawn by Bryan Hitch. The similarity is even noted within the comic itself, in a scene in which the Ultimates discuss who they think should play each of them in a hypothetical movie about the team. Fury's answer for himself is "Mr. Samuel L. Jackson, of course, no discussion."
QuoteI wonder how often that happens with comics.I'm sure probably never.

Quote from: Xevross on Nov 22, 2018, 11:33 PMJust for fun, since The Lion King trailer is out, I'm gonna predict the BO gross of Disney's huge 5 films next year. I'm not expecting this to be anywhere close to accurate, not least because of varying exchange rates and stuff, but here goes:I'd put frozen and Aladdin higher and lion king a bit lower
The Lion King: $2.3B
Avengers 4: $1.9B
Toy Story 4: $1.4B
Episode IX: $1.3B
Frozen 2: $1.2B
Aladdin: $1.1B
That would be nuts, to be honest. Also TS4 above EP9 would be hilarious, I hope it happens.
Edit: somehow I forgot Frozen 2 is coming out! I would also say Captain Marvel has a decent shot at $1B too. Can you imagine 7 films grossing $1B from a single studio. Jesus. 4 is the record from Disney in 2016, so 5+ would be super impressive.
Quote from: Legend on Nov 24, 2018, 02:37 PMNew Lion King looks off. Not sure if it's actually a problem with the film or just my brain being used to the old one, though.I think it looks very realistic, but that's not necessarily a good thing. The original had amazing colours, which this one doesn't have, and its going to be much harder to show facial expressions etc.

Quote from: Xevross on Nov 28, 2018, 03:32 AMConsidered watching searching but I felt like more Disney, so I watched Zootopia. Amazing film, one of Disney Animation Studio's best for sure. In fact, I think it should be up there with Pixar's better films too.Hear hear!

Aquaman is now the top grossing DCEU film, will past $1B next weekend. Should beat the dark Knight films for DC's #1 ever, and Warner's 2nd highest ever behind the last Harry potter.
Spidey, Bee and Poppins are all doing fine. They should all make money, but have been slight disappointments. China does love Bumblebee though, so it might make it to $500M WW, which would be good considering its lower budget.

Quote from: BananaKing on Jan 15, 2019, 07:56 PMhuh? how is it starwarsy?Replace Space with Ocean and its classic star wars. Main character and a few select others with 'force'-like abilities. Ships that fly/ propel around very sci-fi looking, dark environments. Many alien looking races, crazy visual effects, lightsaber/ trident duels, main hero is 'the chosen one'.

Also, Avengers only got 1 nom!

Quote from: Xevross on Jan 27, 2019, 05:33 PMAquaman is now the highest grossing DC film ever (passed Dark Knight Rises) with $1.09B WW. Also I think that makes it WB's #2 ever, behind the last Harry Potter.Talk about undeserved lol
Quote from: BananaKing on Jan 30, 2019, 09:49 AMTalk about undeserved lolIt's the fun December star wars film that we didn't get. People wanted to see a film like this at Christmas and it was the only one.
I don't like Harry potter, but I can't deny it's genius and ingenuity. And aquaman, while not passed the line to sucking, it's on the verge.
And yes, I watched it. It's... Meh lol. Fun at times though I'll admit .
Quote from: Xevross on Feb 11, 2019, 03:46 AMThey barely showed much, and it was weird.
What an awful trailer. This alone is making me want to scratch this film off the potential 2019 billy list. If this is a good reflection of the quality of the film then this could be a bomba

Quote from: Legend on Feb 11, 2019, 08:06 PMYeah that does look off, but I thought the same thing about so many recent Disney movies that ended up being mega hits.I don't think the other ones were so poorly recieved though.
Quote from: Legend on Feb 11, 2019, 08:06 PMYeah that does look off, but I thought the same thing about so many recent Disney movies that ended up being mega hits.Like what? Disney hasn't really had any mega hits outside of Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar and their main animation studio and those films always look great.
Quote from: Xevross on Feb 11, 2019, 09:06 PMLike what? Disney hasn't really had any mega hits outside of Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar and their main animation studio and those films always look great.I assumed he was talking about Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, etc.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 11, 2019, 11:08 PMUnless he were including Alice, Christopher Robin wasn't super successful.You'd never describe Pixar films as looking off though. I suppose Alice would count, but I remember thinking the Alice trailers were quite good.
Pretty sure he didn't love recent Pixar.
Quote from: Legend on Feb 11, 2019, 11:38 PMJungle book, beauty and the beast, most of pixar nowadays, zootopia, moana, and frozen. I ended up loving a lot of these but they had some poor trailers imo.Fair enough. I don't recall any trailers looking as bad as this one though. Almost everything about this film seems wrong, and the trailer itself is so badly edited.
Disney makes some trash movies like wrinkle in time but those always feel like a side venture to real disney.
Quote from: Xevross on Feb 13, 2019, 02:06 PMI need to rewatch it in higher quality and on the official upload but the trailer felt like it was missing some sound effects lol.
Now that's a good Disney trailer. And holy crud that CGI quality is insane.
Quote from: Legend on Feb 15, 2019, 06:17 AMI need to rewatch it in higher quality and on the official upload but the trailer felt like it was missing some sound effects lol.
Anyway I watched Incredibles 2. I don't know if I'd say it's better than the first one, but it's awesome that it's even a debate. It's my favorite Pixar movie in a long long time. Also I always thought the underminer was a mole creature and not a human lol.
Quote from: Xevross on Feb 24, 2019, 02:20 AMWanted to watch a film so I looked back on some from the last two years. I saw Blade Runner 2049, remember hearing it was great so I decided to watch it.I can't look at you
Man, what a complete waste of time. One of the most boring films I've ever seen. Gosling is a brilliant actor though.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Feb 24, 2019, 09:48 AMI can't look at youCan you argue the case of the film? I want to understand how anyone can think its entertaining.

Quote from: Legend on Feb 24, 2019, 04:39 PMDid you watch the original blade runner first?Agreed. Really makes it better to have seen the original but overall the acting, cinematography, sound effects and music were just unreal. The underlying message and plot is just icing on the cake.
The great cool thing about blade runner 2048 is that it really pushes that film to the next level.Spoiler for Hidden:
Plus it was just a great looking movie with awesome sound effects!
Quote from: Xevross on Feb 24, 2019, 08:07 PMI agree with all that. Its a good looking film and has a powerful message... But that doesn't change that it was horrifically boring. No wonder it bombed at the box office...I don't think it bombing has much to do with the pacing lol. The original also bombed hard.
Quote from: Legend on Feb 24, 2019, 10:58 PMOscars are tonight. Who do you all expect to win?I mean Roma is good but it's kinda boring 8) .
I've seen Black Panther, A star is born, Bohemian Rhapsody, and BlackkKlansman for best picture nominees. BlackkKlansman was my favorite but I expect Roma to win since it has all the buzz.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Feb 25, 2019, 07:15 AMGreen Book won! Roma got best director thoGreen Book looked good so I'm happy with that win. In general it was nice that everything was spread out and nothing swept the awards. I managed to only predict like 9 of them lol.
Quote from: Xevross on Feb 25, 2019, 10:48 AMlol Era looks so salty. I guess I should read about Green Book's apparent racism somewhere else, in case its just Era being Era. My mum really liked that film anyway.I just did.

My mum really liked that film anyway. But Bohemian Rhapsody winning best editing and best sound editing is just hilarious, hardly any films deserved it less.Black Panther actually got three Oscars lulz
And yay the MCU finally has an Oscar, and it has two in fact. Black Panther absolutely deserves best costume design and production design, so bravo.
So, so happy for Olivia Colman, I love her. Nothing like a bit of girl on girl!
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Feb 26, 2019, 12:10 AMBlack Panther actually got three Oscars lulzHe forgot best original score .
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Feb 26, 2019, 12:10 AMBlack Panther actually got three Oscars lulzOh cool. I just read on the BBC story that BP made history with two awards going to black people for the first time and they didn't mention BP won another one. 3 Oscars is awesome, and probably deserved. Score and costumes are the strong points of the film.
Quote from: Xevross on Feb 26, 2019, 06:26 PMIn other news, insecure manbabies were review bombing captain marvel on rotten tomatoes. Maybe due to this or maybe a separate decision, RT removed reviews before release date and all you can do now is press if you want to see. Of course, the manbabies are even more upset now and its hilarious.Official or user reviews?
Captain Marvel is sounding really great, every social media impression has been positive so far. I'm hyped as fudge.

But it will be close.
Quote from: BananaKing on Mar 28, 2019, 03:53 PM750 million? Hmmmm not sure about that. But it will be close.Infinity War did around $830 million opening if you include China's opening (3 weeks later).

Quote from: Xevross on Apr 12, 2019, 10:09 AMMore Endgame presale news: it went on sale in China and completely exploded.The question is. Can this beat avatar?
In only a few hours is has become the 6th highest grossing midnight previews ever, overtaking every superhero film except Infinity War. Madness.
And that's without China's biggest cinema chain, Wanda, which is just starting to sell its tickets now.
Quote from: BananaKing on Apr 12, 2019, 01:10 PMThe question is. Can this beat avatar?The answer is: no! Well, its like a 1% chance, this film will see insane frontloading and will most likely make more than Infinity War but Avatar is still so far away, it would need to grow 37% from Infinity War which is just a massive jump to try and achieve.
Quote from: Legend on Apr 12, 2019, 07:14 PMEh indeed.
Eh
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 12, 2019, 08:36 PMEh indeed.I will always love how much Rian Johnson screwed up JJ Abrams' mystery boxes. This trailer shows Kylo Ren getting his helmet back and teases a new ominous villain to replace Snoke. The movie will try to act like episode 8 didn't happen.
QuoteMore than a year after Alicia Vikander debuted as Lara Croft in 2018's Tomb Raider, MGM and Warner Bros. are looking to jumpstart a sequel.
MGM tapped Amy Jump, who adapted High-Rise for actor Tom Hiddleston and co-wrote Free Fire with Ben Wheatley, to start development on Tomb Raider 2, EW has learned.
Plot details are still under wraps at this point, but given that the first film, written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet and Alastair Siddons, was rooted so heavily in the prequel video game trilogy, fans can probably come up with a few guesses.

People on era who watched it said that nothing too major in terms of plot is spoiled, just what seems like the film's most epic moments.
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 23, 2019, 05:54 PMAnd so it begins. Endgame grosses $26.2m from midnights in China. Almost 3x previous all time record held by Fast 8.That's crazy
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 25, 2019, 02:44 AMWell I enjoyed it, didn't love it. First 2 hours were quite slow, felt like the first hour should have been its own film or on the end of Infinity War instead. More I think the closer I get to loving it, gonna watch it tomorrow.Fell in love second time round. Film has pacing issues and not enough action (barely any in first two hours) but apart from that its the perfect culmination of the MCU.
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 25, 2019, 07:18 PMFell in love second time round. Film has pacing issues and not enough action (barely any in first two hours) but apart from that its the perfect culmination of the MCU.Haha you watched it two days in a row?
Quote from: Legend on Apr 25, 2019, 07:31 PMHaha you watched it two days in a row?Yeah, did the same with Infinity War as well.
Interesting that it has so many non action scenes. Usually I feel like two parters tend to have the first film the slower one (Deathly hallows for example).
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 25, 2019, 09:37 PM$169m official estimate for Endgame opening day wednesday, in 25 markets. Take away China and its $62m, compared to $39m like-for-like in IW (up 58%). If +58% for OS-C holds all weekend we're looking at an opening of $1.2b (with Dom and China about $300m each), which is genuinely unfathomable, however that percentage is very likely to drop. Reminder: current record WW opening is $640m.Can it break the 1b opening barrier??
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Apr 25, 2019, 09:42 PMCan it break the 1b opening barrier??$1b is almost locked at this point, as mad as it sounds. China is heading for ~$315m, add Domestic and it will be $600m (on the low end of estimates). Then even just matching IW elsewhere would make it to $982m and like I said its currently running +58% on the markets that made the $382m in OS-C.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Apr 25, 2019, 09:42 PMCan it break the 1b opening barrier??It'll probably be close.
QuoteLOS ANGELES—Shedding light on a possible key plot point of the upcoming film Avengers: Endgame, an emerging theory among fans of the Marvel franchise suggests the key to beating Thanos could be nothing, nothing at all, because he isn't real and none of this exists, sources reported Tuesday. "They left plenty of Easter eggs hinting at it in the first three Avengers movies, so it's pretty obvious—the way to counter Thanos' power now that he has all the infinity stones must be to simply realize he's CGI and that it's just a movie," Avengers fan Raoul Bengston wrote in an online forum, detailing the potential implications of the villain being completely imaginary, including the possibility that the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe could itself be a wholly fabricated world devised decades ago by comic book writers. "Imagine what it would mean if, instead of T'Challa and Peter Parker disintegrating at the end of Infinity War, they turned out to be fictional characters portrayed by professional actors Chadwick Boseman and Tom Holland, who ultimately survive because the infinity stones aren't real? Could be quite a game-changer." At press time, the majority of fans on the forum had begun to tear into the new theory, deeming it "far-fetched" and "unrealistic."

Quote from: Xevross on Apr 25, 2019, 10:00 PMAlso I don't think it'll be close, I'm currently on the $1.1b opening train although that's still very tentative :D1.1 is close. /s :D
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 25, 2019, 10:10 PM1.1 is close. /s :DYeah, I've been following presales cloesly so this madness has become almost normal to me, but reminding myself that the all time record is IW at $640m puts it all into context, it's ridiculous. Even then IW is a massive $100m above second place. Endgame could double the opening of every film except IW. The world's most hyped movie ever for sure.
That'd be crazy.
Automagically in the top 25 movies off all time.
I'll probably see it on Sunday. Depending on how things go.

Quote from: Xevross on Apr 27, 2019, 07:57 AMThis is not real life. Marvel put me in an alternate reality when I watched Endgame.I told you it can beat avatar.
Friday estimate $157M from Deadline. One hundred and fifty seven million. Friday. That's a $97M true friday, $28M higher single day than any film not called A:IW. The ALL TIME opening weekend record is going to be beaten, WITHOUT EVEN COUNTING SUNDAY. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Jatinder on BOT is still saying more like $151-152m though.
And.... A+ cinemascore, only the third MCU film to achieve this. Legs are going to be brilliant. This is going to make a shame tonne of money. No movie with an A+ cinemascore has ever had legs below a 3x OW. If that still holds for Endgame, we're about to see $1B domestic for the first time ever... and Avatar WW is toast.
Quote from: BananaKing on Apr 27, 2019, 09:49 AMI told you it can beat avatar.Yeah well with expectations what they were before the weekend it was looking very unlikely and its still very hard. Even if this pulls off an incredible $1.2b opening weekend it'd then need to add the entire gross of the 5th best grossing film of all time to pass Avatar. Avatar is so crazy.
But the question is how much of this massive opening stole from its legs. Without a doubt it's a bit more front loaded than other films. I don't think past successes can be measured to assess this film, it's on a league of its own.
Doesn't mean I am necessarily saying it's legs won live up to its massive opening though. Based on performance so far I can easily see this passing 3 billion WW when all is said and done
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 27, 2019, 01:41 PMOnly 4 movies have made over $1.7 billion. $3 billion is insane.Yep!
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 27, 2019, 04:46 PMFirst movie to break $150 million day 1.Yeah and its not going to be joined by another movie for a very long time. Look at this chart
Amazing.
Quote from: Legend on Apr 27, 2019, 07:31 PMI bought tickets for Tuesday. I'm a sucker for $5 Tuesdays lol.Cheap tuesdays are awesome indeed, I managed to get £5 tix for my second viewing due to a student discount, but there's a cinema near me that does £7 tix for all movies all the time anyway. Awesome deal, especially for London. We have had 2for1 on tuesdays in the UK for years so tuesday is massive.
Quote from: Xevross on Mar 28, 2019, 07:22 PMExactly. Endgame is guaranteed $800m+ opening. People think a billion is in play but that's really, really, really tough ;D
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 19, 2019, 01:53 PMMore endgame presales talk! Its now the top preselling film ever in China. BOM's resident China experts are predicting $270m and $302m 5-day openings in China, even the lower of that would be incredible. Even so, its likely that these will end up being overestimates. IW was a $201m debut so anything $230m+ in China is great, $250m+ would be brilliant.Just looking back on what expectations were ;D
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 28, 2019, 03:32 PMDisney going with $350M domestic and $1.209B global debut! Insane! (and way under the real values)Lol that's out of this world

How was the movie besides that?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 28, 2019, 09:01 PMMovie was incredible.Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas! It really does deserve this success, it was such a difficult film to make tying together all the 21 films before it, but they pulled it off spectacularly while also making a dang good standalone movie as well.
Quote from: BananaKing on Apr 28, 2019, 05:49 PMI haven't been going to box office mojo because I keep getting end game updates here lolLol, I get all my updates from the box office theory forum, those guys are awesome. By the way, their average prediction for Endgame was $295M dom in their prediction game so just goes to show how much higher this went that even fairly optimistic 'expert' expectations.

I a.. what?! This looks beyond bad
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 30, 2019, 11:57 AMInfinity War did $60.3M overseas on its first monday. Endgame weekend was up 39.6% from IW in like-for-like markets, so we're looking for $84.2M overseas figure today to match IW drop. That's not counting China or Russia for Endgame which came in at $19m and $7m respectively, so $110.2M+ overseas total for Monday is the golden ticket... here's hoping.$82.2M overseas for Endgame, $55.8M not counting Russia or China. I totally forgot that labor day was a day earlier for IW which really inflated its monday overseas numbers. Hard to judge how good this is then. Apparently IW monday final OS number was $55.2M, so this is just a smidge better. I guess we'll see what Tuesday numbers bring.
shame if it does that then that's a ~$150M monday worldwide, what the actual fudge. Pretty sure best Monday WW right now is Infinity War's $85M first monday.
Also that $7m opening day in Russia for Endgame is great by the way, +50% on Infinity War. And that's the last market to launch for Endgame.

China was $38M on tuesday, so $61.5M OS-C,R. Pretty great although I was certainly hoping for more. China wednesday is $75M by the way, third biggest day ever. Absolute monster!
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 01, 2019, 10:21 PMHow is Wednesday bigger in China?May 1st is labor day, a holiday for most of the world. It's a huge cinema day in China, they also have Thursday and Friday off this week so numbers will stay fairly big.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 02, 2019, 05:19 PM#6 already. Holy cow.Yeah, looking very likely that Avatar is going down now. Worldwide total of comfortably over $1.5+ after this weekend (not counting China) will confirm that, I think. The more above 1.5b the better. If it falls around or just short of 1.5b then Avatar is gonna be a close call. WW-C total right now is $1.205B, so 1.5b+ should be fairly easy so long as it keeps following Infinity War. Friday jump is gonna be very important.
5th place tomorrow.

QuoteWhile no re-imagining of a beloved childhood character will ever be without critics, CGI Sonic's human-like teeth and general un-Sonic-like proportions really freaked people out.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 04, 2019, 01:33 AMNo, he already has teeth, and they're going to change that.
Sonic the Hedgehog' director says he hears you about the teeth thing and he'll make changes (http://"https://www.cnn.com/2019/05/03/entertainment/sonic-hedgehog-movie-response-director-character-change-trnd/index.html")
Quoteseemed to center around the use of human teeth on Sonic, who is, in fact, a hedgehog and would have much smaller, pointy teeth. Vulture even interviewed an exotic animals veterinarian who works with hedgehogs to get the lowdown on what Sonic's teeth should look like. Some fans, however, debated whether realistic teeth would really improve things.
HorribleI get why everyone is freaking out about how Sonic looks in the trailer. It's because his teeth are not accurate to real hedgehogs.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 04, 2019, 02:48 PMFigures that Endgame would be especially front loaded. :(Oh yeah 2nd place Dom is 100% confirmed, avatar ww is the only target now.
Based off the 10 day chart, it looks like we can expect 513m to be somewhere between 60% and 70% of the total. (And wow, Avatar is quite in a league of its own. )
60% would put Endgame at 855m domestic.
70% would put Endgame at 732m.
Second place seems like a safe bet.
Quote from: Xevross on May 04, 2019, 04:24 PM$40.7M dom, $88.2M OS for $128.9M friday for Endgame. OS-C is $52.4M, up 39% from IW. Overseas looking decent then. Domestic still set for easily #2 of all time $850m+
Total should be $2.165b+ after the weekend worldwide, meaning WW-C is at $1.59b+, well clear of my $1.5b target. If that estimate holds then Endgame looks all set to overtake Avatar. If Titanic ($2.187b) is down after Sunday's numbers then that basically confirms Avatar will go down at some point in the future too, how poetic.

Quote from: Legend on May 04, 2019, 05:19 PMAvatar was the movie that got me really interested in tracking the box office.Yeah films are much more frontloaded on average now, but even back then Titanic and Avatar were freaks of nature with their legs. Titanic was crazier, which is why Avatar had weaker legs in comparison, but Avatar was still nuts. Titanic opening % of total was 4.8%, Avatar 10.3% domestically. The normal for big grossers around 2009 was 25-35%.
It's funny because I remember at the time a big talking point was that Avatar didn't have nearly the same legs as Titanic. Amongst movies gunning for the all time record, it was viewed as fairly frontloaded.
Now it's seen as an abnormal monster that just kept going lol. Social media and the internet really pushes people to see a movie as fast as possible. Fans have always tried to go asap (side note but I really miss midnight openings) but now spoilers and fomo push even more people into the opening weekend. Endgame will definitely keep its opening records for a long time but I wouldn't be surprised if within 10 years we have a film that beats its opening day but falls behind its first week.
Quote from: Legend on May 04, 2019, 05:19 PMAvatar was the movie that got me really interested in tracking the box office.Aye.

This is why Avatar 2 is so unpredictable, there seems to be no hype for the sequel at all but loads of people could just turn up for it like they did the first films in cinemas.
And it's really weird.
Look up Avatar memes, and you get the nickelodeon TV show.
Even if you specify the movie, you don't get a lot of memes... And still some memes from the TLA show.
I don't really hear people quoting the movie.

Outside of the mediocre game, it really was just a film. It's hard for something to really impact popular culture when there is nothing new happening. I loved the movie and saw it a bunch but as a fan there just wasn't any way to interact with it. The closest thing I remember was an Avatar forum that focused on cataloguing all the worldbuilding into essentially a wiki.

The closest thing I remember was an Avatar forum that focused on cataloguing all the worldbuilding into essentially a wiki.Absolutely, and I love Avatar so I'm very much looking forward to tracking it and seeing how well it does. I won't mind at all if it overtakes Endgame, in fact I'd be happy as records being broken is always cool.
The only significant thing that lasted is that people sometimes make Avatar jokes instead of smurf jokes when they see blue people. Avatar cosplay happens a fair amount too I guess.
It also didn't help that the counterculture developed pretty quickly. Avatar is talked about a lot online but almost always its just in the form of arguments between people that liked it and people that didn't like it.
I'm really excited to see the first trailer for the sequel. It really needs to match the original's feeling of "raising the bar." An avatar sequel exactly like the first would probably do ok but it would blend in with most 2020 movies. Instead the sequel needs to once again redefine what is possible. Underwater motion capture will be cool but the movie needs more tricks than just that and 60 fps.
It also helps that this time around there's more potential to grow it as a franchise. The Avatar theme park section is megapopular, the upcoming Ubisoft game should be much better, and the third film should be right around the corner. Plus Disney could be a better partner for selling merchandise.
The movie really is unpredictable. So much potential but the devil is in the details. Child actors and worse acting could make it flop.

Quote from: Legend on May 06, 2019, 09:26 PM$147.3 million actuals for Endgame. Slightly higher than predictions but still just shy of TFA.I'll spoil it for ya: it won't ;)
It will be really interesting to see if it manages to beat TFA domestically once everything has settled.
Quote from: Xevross on May 06, 2019, 09:41 PMI'll spoil it for ya: it won't ;)How are you calculating those legs? I see $930.7 million if it has the exact same drops from here on out.
Well, I give it a 5-10% chance, if it matches IW legs from here it gets to $898mm, $38m short, and I don't think its matching IW legs.
Quote from: Legend on May 06, 2019, 10:21 PMHow are you calculating those legs? I see $930.7 million if it has the exact same drops from here on out.Using relative sunday grosses not total, as Endgame legs are constantly slipping compared to IW so it makes more sense.
I agree though that it'll probably drop faster.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 07, 2019, 10:30 PMIt looks like it should stay ahead of TFA for a couple more days at least.Yeah seems like you're right, TFA falls to normal levels after this coming weekend though so Endgame should be able to stay somewhat in touch with it
The weekend bump for Endgame will be interesting. Wonder how long it'll stay ahead of TFA. I'm guessing it'll get passed this weekend, or early next week at the absolute latest.
But that guess is without really looking at any trends...
Quote from: Xevross on May 08, 2019, 08:49 AMYeah seems like you're right, TFA falls to normal levels after this coming weekend though so Endgame should be able to stay somewhat in touch with itHow's Tuesday doing?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 08, 2019, 01:26 PMHow's Tuesday doing?None of the insiders on BOT have shared info so we don't know yet. Their overseas tuesday estimate is $23M though, compared to $34M for monday, which is pretty good as a lot of the world had a holiday monday and China is still declining quickly as expected.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 09, 2019, 01:09 PMSo I just found out that Disney now has the Avatar films, because of Fox.I wouldn't say horrific, the box office is one of the more okay things to be under a monopoly, from the consumer's perspective. Anyway, there's no reason the other big 6 could get this big, its just Disney has so many movies that people love.
It's legitimately horrific how big Disney is getting.

Endgame news, wednesday heading for $8.4M or about -33%. Off the back of only a 17% bump on Tuesday that's actually really bad. Endgame legs starting to look rather weak, IW wed was 85% of Monday, $8.4M wed for Endgame would only be 78% of Monday. If this trend continues and is mirrored across the world... well Avatar isn't a sure thing yet.
Quote from: Legend on May 09, 2019, 03:19 PMI might feel different if it wasn't Disney at the top, but for the time being I agree that it is mostly fine.Yeah, the box office is literally just a measure of how watched each company's films are, its a direct result of consumer activity, so its not like its one company trying to monopolise a market. Disney are so dominant just because they put out the most big movies, there's nothing stopping other studios from doing the same, its just Disney got it right.
Speaking of the fox buyout, has anything changed from that transition yet? Is Disney going to use Fox as a brand?
Quote from: Xevross on May 09, 2019, 06:31 PMEndgame $8.3M dom, $22.1M international wednesday. Dom number is bad as I said already but thats an incredible day for international, only down 3%. Well, I guess its perfectly balanced.As it should be
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 09, 2019, 06:35 PMThat Dom number almost physically hurts. I'm disappointed.Yes although went up to $8.43M with actuals so at least we have that extra 130k. Situation is obviously evolving day by day, the next few days having great holds/ boosts will obviously make up for it, but the trend is downwards right now for sure in dom. Well $800m+ is secured anyway, which is great and it'll be nice to have a film in that 800-900 range finally. And as long as Avatar goes down WW I'll be happy :D Looking like its gonna land right around $2.50b after this weekend ($2.50b would be slightly worse WOW drops than IW), so lets see how it goes.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 10, 2019, 06:00 PMOn the bright side, it'll probably have a $60-65 million weekend.Yeah I think its falling down to IW numbers pretty quickly, so ~192m is roughly what its heading for unless late legs surprise. I'd say $840-870m is the range for dom, call it $852m. China should end around $635m, meaning OS-C needs almost exactly $1.3bil for Avatar to go down. Its at $1.075B after thursday numbers, so ~$220m more needed. IW made about $210m more from the same point.
7.5m is around 20% better than the original Avengers for the same Thursday, so $67 million if that holds up.
After two great weekends, it seems like it's doing regular Avenger's numbers.
On the one hand, the drops are disappointing, on the other hand, it probably should have been expected, and it's still doing pretty well.
Even if it only does as well as IW (doing another ~192m), it would end up around 852 million. Solidly second place biggest movie in the US, which is what we were expecting anyways.
If it performs the 9% better for the rest of it's run that it did for Thursday that'd put it at almost $870m.
Not the best analysis, but still good enough, that the movie should do really great.
Quote from: BananaKing on May 10, 2019, 11:33 PMSo is this thing gonna beat avatar WW or what?I don't pay attention to WW as much as Xev does, but it's looking less likely than it was. I think we'll know a lot more when we see the weekend.
Quote from: BananaKing on May 10, 2019, 11:33 PMSo is this thing gonna beat avatar WW or what?Yes or no
Quote from: BananaKing on May 10, 2019, 11:33 PMSo is this thing gonna beat avatar WW or what?Yeah there's now a growing discussion on BOT about whether Avatar is slipping away, a lot of people are still saying "Avatar is locked, no way it misses" but I don't think they've actually put much thought into the numbers we've been getting this week. I think if Endgame doesn't at least match the numbers I mentioned below, Avatar ain't happening barring a sudden turn in late legs.
Quote from: Xevross on May 10, 2019, 06:15 PMFor future reference: IW weekend was $70M OS-C and $62M dom, lets see how Endgame fares.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 11, 2019, 12:13 AMI don't pay attention to WW as much as Xev does, but it's looking less likely than it was. I think we'll know a lot more when we see the weekend.Be careful with using numbers on boxofficemojo for foreign markets, they do a weird thing with exchange rates which retroactively changes past grosses. IW mad $200.1M opening weekend and $376M total. Endgame is currently projected to pull in $40m more from China, compared with $54m for IW. Endgame burned a lot of demand last week when China had a holiday wed-sat and the exchange rate is worse now.
Almost certainly will make another $200m in the US, for the total run.
The movie is way bigger than the last one in China. If it has legs like IW (which I have no idea if it will, it's way outsold IW already), it can expect to make another $60m.
Hopefully Xev will have better numbers, but I think it'll be close.

Quote from: BananaKing on May 11, 2019, 06:19 PMWhen you say reworked, does that mean the filmed and scripts themselfs are changing? Or just the release and production dates?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 12, 2019, 03:33 PMExactly as expected for dom. 8):P well these are early estimates of course. Dom should be about right but overseas is almost always underestimated. Hopefully we get a few million more. Legs need to at least match IW which got hit hard by Deadpool 2 in the coming week, so lets see if Endgame can stay ahead with basically no competiton.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 14, 2019, 02:13 AMIf all goes well, I'd guess it'd make another $100 m domestically.Well Monday is looking like $4.9M apparently which would be about the same drop as IW. Last week its monday drop was better than IW but then dropped worse throughout the week, so lets hope it stabalises now. Its got $120m+ more to make it domestically if it stays above IW.
If it were to make it to number 1 worldwide, it seems like it'll be a slow crawl from here.
But I'm not sure if it'll make it there.

EG dom week: mon 4.7m, Tue 5.7m, Wed 3.8m...
Not looking good so far. IW got hit by DP2 on thursday, so Endgame really gotta beat that thursday 3.4m
Quote from: Xevross on May 17, 2019, 10:28 AMInsider on BOT says 3.4m thursday, success! Now just gotta keep going, needs a bigger friday jump than IW!How much more does it need in total?
Also OS-C for mon-wed was about $23m for Endgame, compared to also $23m for IW. But thursday onwards is when IW got hit super hard by DP2 overseas with only $4m thursday and $29m weekend, so its looking better now, lets see what the weekend brings.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 17, 2019, 01:22 PMHow much more does it need in total?Basically needs to make about $10m more than IW for the rest of its lifetime from the same point. Currently $257m behind Avatar, IW made about $230m more from this point in its life not counting China, and Endgame should get about $20m more from China.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 19, 2019, 09:16 PMWithout looking at Xev's special sauces (I use the inferior Box Office Mojo, which doesn't do very well with "foreign" numbers).. ..Lol its just a different forum, mojo is pretty meh, they're slow and make mistakes and some data is confusing.
Endgame will probably be able to crawl out another 80 million in the US.
And it needs to make around 92 million elsewhere.
It feels so close, but it'll probably be a crawl over the next few weeks at least...

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 20, 2019, 04:48 PMSrsly? Thought it was trending alright, just above what's needed?Last week gross was just above IW, but it needs to stay above it for rest of lifetime and its been dropping down to IW level so its unlikely it will stay above. Also IW had much less competition from this point on and had some great holds, Endgame won't be the same.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 20, 2019, 04:48 PMSrsly? Thought it was trending alright, just above what's needed?It's dropping fast, just look at US numbers:
| Avengers | IW | Endgame | |
| Weekend 2 | 103,052,274 | 114,774,810 | 147,383,211 |
| Weekend 3 | 55,644,102 | 62,078,047 | 63,299,904 |
| Weekend 4 | 36,686,871 | 29,452,903 | ~29,411,000 |
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 20, 2019, 05:59 PMIt's dropping fast, just look at US numbers:Only held above IW this weekend because IW got hit hard by DP2, gonna be impressive if it stays ahead in the future.
Avengers IW Endgame Weekend 2 103,052,274 114,774,810 147,383,211 Weekend 3 55,644,102 62,078,047 63,299,904 Weekend 4 36,686,871 29,452,903 ~29,411,000
For the most part, it's holding surprisingly closely to IW.
After the second weekend, it kind of became a question of whether it was going to stay above IW (because it's a big movie), whether it was going to drop down to IW's numbers (because it's an avengers movie), or whether it was going to start dropping faster (due to being very front loaded, due to being very antipicated)
If everyone goes to see it the first weekend, then legs won't be as good.
Most days it looks comfortably like it'll hold tightly to IW's numbers.

In other box office news, Aladdin is exceeding expectations in its opening weekend. Its looking at a 4-day of nicely over $100m domestic, possibly $230m+ worldwide. Nothing special but WOM seems good so it could have a decent run.
Long range tracking for The Lion King also arrived and its pointing to a domestic OW of $180-200m+ at the moment.
Quote from: BananaKing on May 29, 2019, 11:33 AMSo does avengers have a shot at avatar?Nope. Only chance is if there's a big re-expansion or a late boost from Spidey, something like that. I'll let y'all know if the picture changes, but right now Endgame seems like it'll fall around $20-30m short. Its running below IW now which made $81m more from this point and Endgame needs $101m to pass Avatar.
Quote from: Xevross on May 29, 2019, 11:28 AMWOM for Aladdin seems very strong despite the rotten rating. Yet another mis-match between critics and audience. Every daily % change so far has been phenomenal, if Disney didn't fudge up the marketing this could have been another $1b film. Oh well.I forgot to mention it but I saw Aladdin the other day. Was freaking horrible at first but slowly started to build into a good film. In the end I definitely liked it. Seems like it'll be yet another classic that mostly replaces the original going forward.

Still probably going to go see it though since my cousin worked on the special effects.
Kong Skull Island was miles better, can see why this is flopping at the box office.
Aladdin already $900k ahead of Godzilla on Monday (4.7 vs 3.8 ). $4.7m second monday for Aladdin is pretty insane, legs for that film are incredible.

Xmen origins were the only ones that were 50/50.Yeah, and this one coupled with the terrible reviews means people just don't care. Its looking at an OW of $35m, previous lowest for the X-men franchise was Wolverine's $53m in 2013. Its a similar story everywhere else in the world.

Quote from: Xevross on Jun 13, 2019, 05:18 PMMiB 27% on RT after 114 reviews. Big yikes there, let's see how badly it flops. Projection from the studio is $30m (already very low, first three were all $51-55m).Very solid 100% lol
On the other end of the spectrum, Toy Story 4 reviews are dropping and so far its at a very solid 100% after 56 reviews! Pre-sales were falling a bit slower but maybe this will speed them back up a bit, either way still looking good for a ~$150m debut (compared to $110m for TS3).

Only hope is for Disney to really push for it, which probably won't happening considering they've got a few other big films to worry about.
Endgame is sitting at $2,742,943,570.
Nice.

(https://static.bbc.co.uk/news/1.283.03340/apple-touch-icon-57x57-precomposed.png) www.bbc.com[/size]QuoteJapanese animation Spirited Away has dominated the Chinese box office over its opening weekend, making more than twice as much as Disney's Toy Story 4.Wild, hard not to celebrate a pretty good movie being outgrossed by an outright classic though.
The Studio Ghibli film grossed $27.7m (£21.8m), according to Maoyan, China's largest movie ticketing app.
Spirited Away was officially released in 2001, but only now, 18 years later, has it been released in China.
However, many Chinese viewers grew up with the film, having watched DVDs or pirated downloads.Toy Story 4 made $13.2m on its opening weekend, said consultancy firm Artisan Gateway.

- Hayao Miyazaki: Japan's godfather of animation? (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-38074088)
The Japanese film by famed director Hayao Miyazaki tells the story of a young girl who is transported into a fantasy world after entering an abandoned theme park with her parents.
The movie gained a cult following after it was released and still remains Studio Ghibli's highest grossing movie of all time.
It also became the first non-English language animated film to win an Academy Award.

My Neighbour Totoro became the first Ghibli film to ever debut in theatres in China in 2018, 30 years after its original release.
China has a strict quota on the number of foreign films it shows.
One analyst told the BBC last year that political tensions between China and Japan in the past could be why some Japanese movies had not been aired in China until very recently.
Japan occupied China in 1931 and millions of Chinese people had been killed by the time the war ended in 1945. But for many, feelings of resentment towards Japan lingered.
"Right now that relationship has improved significantly and there is a lot of movement on Sino-Japanese co-productions, including in anime," Stanley Rosen from the University of Southern California said.
Spirited Away has also already outperformed Totoro which grossed $27.3m for its full run, state media outlet CGTN reports. Click to expand... Click to shrink...

Looks good!
I also saw happy death day 2u and enjoyed it. Wasn't the movie I was expecting.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 06, 2019, 05:02 AMSaw far from home. Liked it a lot. Far better than homecoming imo. Although the end credits scene really reminded me how much I miss the other films set in New York. Hopefully spidy 3 can be even more traditional like that, but again this one was great.Yeah I like that they're mixing it up though, new york has been done so much I guess they're worried people will be getting bored of the same Spidey stories over and over.
Oh also saw bumblebee. Kinda good actually. Second half was worse but still better than the dumpster fire I expected. Set in 1987 and had the ISS as a plot element, that was crazy off lol.
Quote from: Xevross on Jun 29, 2019, 09:41 PMEndgame had a $1.86m friday domestically thanks to the re-release. Heading for a $6m weekend. Overseas is still very much up in the air, but this doesn't look like anywhere near enough to reach Avatar (to me). If Disney want the record they gotta do more pushing.15.5m away yet.

Or that they no sign of the best character in the show is no where to be seen? Or that mulan fights in a dress mid battle (because again, women power).
Saw Serenity. Oh my gosh what a horrible movie but still kinda good. Massive spoiler but can't really explain the issues otherwise.Spoiler for Hidden:

Quote[/size]QuoteIn a recent edition of journalist Richard Rushfield's entertainment industry newsletter The Ankler, Rushfield peels back the secretive curtain of the deal that was signed between Sony and Marvel Studios back in 2015 to share the character. "The original Sony/Marvel/Spidey deal to co-produce these movies stipulated that if this Spidey cleared a billion, Marvel would get to oversee a third. If it hadn't, full control would have reverted back to Sony," he writes.(https://d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net/wp/wp-content/images/spiderman-farfromhome-intlposter-frontpage.jpg) If 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' Doesn't Make a Billion Dollars, Sony Breaks Free of the Marvel Studios Deal (https://www.slashfilm.com/spider-man-contract/) The Ankler's Richard Rushfield reveals the Spider-Man contract stipulation that could result in Sony regaining full cinematic control of the webslinger. (https://d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net/slashfilm/siteimages/favicon.ico) www.slashfilm.com Bullets Over the Box Office: Spidey, Spidey, Spidey Ho – The Ankler (https://theankler.com/bullets-over-the-box-office-spidey-spidey-spidey-ho/) (https://theankler.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/cropped-Anklerfavicon-32x32.png) theankler.com
To be clear, Far From Home has not yet crossed the billion dollar mark at the worldwide box office, but the fact that it's already made over $600 million in its first week (https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2019/07/09/spider-man-far-from-home-lion-king-hobbs--shaw-tarantino-dora-joker-maleficent-transformers-box-office/#9ddc4712ab20) is practically a guarantee that it will cross the coveted billion dollar threshold before it leaves theaters. So the Sony/Marvel Studios deal will still hold – at least for one more solo Spider-Man movie, because actor Tom Holland revealed (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/spider-man-tom-holland-how-movies-will-he-be-945566) back in 2016 that he was on board for three solo Spider-Man films and three appearances in other MCU movies.

And for anyone that has seen those e-mails from the Sony hack (or the TASM movies), you know how big of a bullet was dodged here. Now, just keep Tom Holland far, far away from Venom.
Edit: Maybe the second half of the title would be clearer if it said "Sony is no longer contractually obligated to work with Marvel"

Original 1994 version just looks so much better. Sure the animals are crazy realistic but colours and expresion trumps that any day, one of the reasons why into the spider-verse was so amazing.
Quote from: Xevross on Jul 10, 2019, 10:11 AMNext post shows lots of negative reviews lol. Just a reminder that press reactions mean nothing
Good song. Press reactions from the premiere are extremely positive, looks like we're going to have the huge hit that we expected from TLK. Question is how huge. $1-1.5b range or could it challenge $2b... gonna be fun to follow.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 11, 2019, 05:14 PMNot a rt fan (their scores never seem to reflect what I see) but ouch with that tweet.Agreed, RT will never influence whether I'm going to watch a film or not but its always interesting to discuss. Jungle Book was 95% on RT by the way, so this is a huge drop from that.
Felt the same way about Jungle Book though so maybe this will still print money.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 14, 2019, 03:51 PMThe crawl!Yep, gonna feel crazy when Endgame finally gets there. Also TS4 and Aladdin both seem to be heading for $1b, fantastic year for Disney. Aladdin keeps legging super well and TS4 had an incredible debut in Japan. We're gonna tie the record for number of $1b grossers in a year before TLK, Frozen 2 and Star Wars come out.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 18, 2019, 07:29 PMYeah I don't know how good Lion King will do. My mom was planning to see it Sunday but reviews have changed her mind (worried it'll be another number Dumbo). Can't get more anecdotal than this haha.All depends on WOM. If general audiences love it then people like your mom will probably convinced to go. Box office wise its made a great start pretty much everywhere its opened so far and we'll find out about domestic soon. Anything $180m+ for OW is very good imo, $200m+ would be great.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 19, 2019, 09:51 PMThe lion king is a phenomenon tbh. Too bad it wasn't a better remake because they potentially could've reached like 2bTechnically it could reach $2b if audiences really love it. A meh performance in China has certainly badly hurt its chances though. I'd put it at ~5% chance right now. Still thinking my $1.6-1.7b estimate is on track. $1.671b+ beating Jurassic World for 6th place would be a fantastic result and about as good as anyone could expect, $2b is still an extraordinary feat and takes something truly special with everything falling in place to reach.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 21, 2019, 09:53 PMWhat If is the worst offender in my opinion but as a tv show that is more reasonable.Well what would you name what if...? I think its a great name for what it is.
Loki and Hawkeye just feel lazy. Marvel really likes movies named after the lead character but it's kinda different since these characters have already been in a lot of films and are side characters. A subtitle like Spiderman Homecoming would make more sense to me. Black Widow is the same but for some reason the name works a bit better imo, maybe since she has been treated as mysterious and not an open book.
Wanda Vision sounds like a play on words, like smell-o-vision. Is this a joke they're going for or are they trying to be serious? I just don't get it either way.
The rest are just really wordy besides Eternals. Kinda feels like a modern trend though. We're past the period of having hard gritty titles for movies and are now having ones reminiscent of old adventure novels. I'm sorta down for it.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 24, 2019, 10:17 PMI remember that too. Pre Avatar I was really into the box office and movies in general. A big thing back then was reaching a billion worldwide. Now it's almost disappointing if a major film doesn't reach that.Depends on how major, there's still 'only' been 39 films to hit $1b. And $400m Dom is still considered a fantastic amount for most films.

I'd say it's become standard for major blockbusters haha.

It was funny back then. Iron Man and Hulk were the two big movies Marvel started with after becoming their own film studio. Iron Man was the nobody character while Hulk was the big deal. Kinda ironic that Iron Man launched the most successful movie universe of all time while the Hulk movie was retconned away.

There's a reason Cap, Thor and Iron Man are at the top in this image (Them not being in the show is why it also only lasted like 10 episodes.) Iron Man was always big, it's just that the X-Men were bigger at the time.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Sep 04, 2019, 02:09 AMWatched Interstellar again. It's been a while. Mixed feelings about it.I think it's an amazing movie. The robots are some of the coolest things in sci fi and as you say the music is incredibly fitting. The love plot has weird moments but mostly works I'd say.
On the one hand I find the "beings" aspect of it just not good. It's also really long. Part of the plot shouldn't work.
But I think the music does wonders to keep the intensity, so even if it's been 10 minutes since anything has really happened, it doesn't hurt because it builds up anticipation wonderfully. It's also a pretty emotional movie.

Its good, but I won't go any higher than that. Its way too long, only the music stopped me from falling alseep at points and I never sleep during movies. Should have been an hour shorter than it was. I watched it again a year or so later and my opinion remained the same. And of course the whole ending sequence is just pure battleship.
Only film I watched in cinema which bored me more than Interstellar was Dunkirk, so go figure. Its a shame because I do consider The Dark Knight and Inception to be two of my favourite movies, but he's gone downhill since then. I don't have any excitement for Tenet, may well skip it in cinema if its anything like Dunkirk.

Quote from: Xevross on Oct 13, 2019, 03:43 PMJoker's run just gets more and more insane. A 43% drop 2nd weekend domestic, which is probably a slight overestimate as well. That's the best ever for a comic book movie.Funny what happens when you make a good movie.
The international hold is even more insane, with just a 32% drop in the same markets and strong openings in France and Germany as well. UK hold is a crazy -20%.
This is a zeitgeist movie, everyone's talking about it. Could well be on for $1b if legs stay this good. An R-rated movie with no action, not releasing in China, only a $60m budget. Simply bonkers, in a year of Aladdin and Endgame this may end up the most impressive box office run. $544m is the total after the second weekend.

What do people think?
Presales also went up with this and its a fairly strong start. We need to hear from Fandango but so far it looks to be inbetween Infinity War and Endgame day 1 sales, just like TFA, TLJ and Rogue One. I'm very interested to see where the OW will fall, will it bounce back from the drop of $247->$220m between TFA and TLJ? Will it set a new star wars record? Exciting times, although we got a long time to wait.
Quote from: Legend on Oct 22, 2019, 11:30 PMWhy are they riding horse things? ???Yeah that's what I thought as well, it was an okay trailer. Anyways here's the top 5 first 24 hours ticket sales as estimated by a BOT insider/ expert (US only):
Outside of that, trailer didn't really hit me one way or another. The audio felt off with the voiceover being way too quiet. Probably will go see it on my birthday.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 04, 2019, 04:43 AMJoker is the 4th biggest DC movie.The Batman brand is so incredibly strong at the box office. Joker may well overtake the Dark Knight films and give Aquaman a run for its money at the rate its going.
And not terribly far from second place. About 150m.

Optimistically, there's a small chance Joker tops Aquaman domestically. Pessimistically, it'll fall below Batman v Superman.

Pretty impressive how well Joker is doing internationally though. It's beaten all of the Dark Knight movies. I think Aquaman is the only DC movie above it there.
Quote from: Legend on Nov 08, 2019, 03:35 AMWe thinking Terminator will have an ok drop for its second weekend?Opening weekend was real bad and legs are looking fairly normal so far, so its not going to get close to recovering from the bad OW. I'd say avoiding a drop bigger than 60% into its second weekend would certainly be okay, but not enough to send it on its way to matching Genisys' $89M total. Whatever the legs look like, this film is making a loss. Performance globally is just too way, way too bad for a $185m budget.
I don't remember which website was talking about its performance but one thing seemingly hurting it is just how bad the last terminator was. If that is the case, the drop might be relatively small.
Quote from: Xevross on Nov 10, 2019, 08:07 PMJoker should hit $1b within a week, which is a phenomenal achievement for a $60m budget R-rated non-action film. After never having more than 5 $1bil+ films in a single year, we're going to end this year with at least 9, crazy.In a year with Endgame, and honestly I think this might be the craziest run this year.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 12, 2019, 12:05 AMI'm not really sure. There's a lot of unknowns.You're mixing certain numbers up. $500m was Endgame's approximate profit from its box office run, it will be much more in total.
Supposedly between actors taking a cut, China and the $500 million production and P&A budget, Endgame's profit for the studio was closer to $500m.
Which is about where Joker is now in terms of profit due to low P&A and production budget.
Although who knows how the numbers actually turn out. I would imagine only Disney and WB know their numbers and they probably wouldn't want to share it.
Quote from: Xevross on Nov 12, 2019, 10:40 AMYou're mixing certain numbers up. $500m was Endgame's approximate profit from its box office run, it will be much more in total.*Facepalm*
Infinity War's total profit was $500m, and that was based off $900m box office returns for the studio. Endgame's returns are $300m higher, and the movies were made together, with the cost for each essentially being equal, about half of a big total. So if you assume costs were the same as for IW, then Endgame is heading for $800m+ profit.
Now, perhaps there is a bigger budget on Endgame for various reasons, but I think that's counterracted by the fact that Endgame is setting home entertainment records, and TV deals will be super favourable for the new biggest film ever. Endgame's profit should be at the very least $700m.
Quote from: Xevross on Nov 16, 2019, 10:02 PMTerminator has not had good legs at all. A big ol' flop all round. An even bigger flop is Charlie's Angels, with a disastrous $8m opening weekend.

Box office is all set for Frozen 2 next week.Frozen not getting the excellent reviews I was expecting. Might not have the legs like frozen 1
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Nov 16, 2019, 10:34 PMFrozen not getting the excellent reviews I was expecting. Might not have the legs like frozen 1Indeed, legs were always going to be worse but who knows where it will go now. If audiences still love it then reviews don't matter.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 16, 2019, 11:40 PMI don't think reviews are going to matter at all.You're right of course. This movie could have gotten godawful reviews and it'd still make a boatload of money. Like even 10% on rottentomatoes and it'd be $800m+ easy. With solid reviews, the film is at least good, so $1b is locked already. Question is does it beat the first film ($1.27b)... right now I'd bet on no, mainly due to Japan most likely declining massively.
The first movie has so many lines of toys, clothes, etc that are still selling, it is obvious there is huge staying power with the first one. The second one will do decent numbers just by virtue of being a sequel to Frozen.
Bet on it.

Oof, rotten indeed. 54% so far, only 1% above TPM which is the lowest rated film in the franchise. Meta is 53, also the second lowest of the franchise at the moment.
Looks like Disney have upset critics for the first time with Star Wars. Both TFA and TLJ were over 90% and even Solo was over 70%.
Edit: remarkable recovery, its reached 60%! :P
Edit 2: back down to 55%, double oof

Quote from: Legend on Dec 20, 2019, 05:51 PMI decided to not bother seeing it this weekend. Seems many are in the same boat.The star wars stuff is super mixed overall, contributing lots of good and bad. I think without star wars brand the enjoyment that was there would be gone. It's a very mixed film just from a critical standpoint, so without star wars it would be just bleh
In isolation (aka no last jedi and no star wars brand in general) how would you rate it? Are most of its problems due to context or is it just a poor film regardless of how you slice it?
Quote from: nnodley on Dec 21, 2019, 12:44 AMI'm glad i'm not super into star wars. Haven't seen any in theaters, but i'll likely enjoy it when I watch on digital/bluray.

I'm glad SW is taking a few years break now, because I don't know if I'd have any desire to see a 2020 SW film in the cinema.
That's kinda sad :'(
Quote from: Xevross on Dec 21, 2019, 01:46 AMWell it is the way it is, loads of people didn't see Solo in theatre as well. I'm glad SW is taking a few years break now, because I don't know if I'd have any desire to see a 2020 SW film in the cinema.I don't have Disney + so don't spoil me if I'm wrong but it seems like the key right now is to make movies and shows that are fully separate from "Star Wars." Throw in an awesome cameo like Darth Vader in Rogue One where it is 100% fan service but that's it.
I'm just kinda tired at this point, Star Wars has nothing new or fresh to do or say. TLJ tried and was trashed to hell and back for it, the fans won't change so this won't change either. The bigger problem is now that they're struggling toeven make great, memorable films. Solo was good fun but not memorable at all, Rise is just really incompetently made (although I doubt I'll forget the film with how many baffling decisions there are).
At least Mandalorian is great fun to watch. Seems like the SW IP is much more suited to TV shows nowadays, I guess letting actual hardcore SW fans do their own thing helps as well.

Opinions for TROS are a bit all over the place but reliable metrics show general audiences think its the worst of the bunch. I agree with you second paragraph basically. 8 is the best film but in the context of the saga its almost irrelevant.
I wonder if history will end up being kinder to this film and put all three new movies in the same boat ala the prequels. This has been a funky ride now that we've seen it from start to finish.
8 had the coolest parts imo, force projection luke was great, but they have all been so aimless. 7 was a super safe reboot of past plots, 8 could be skipped without confusing the viewer, and 9 follows the "rule of cool" 100% of the time without actually being cool.

Film continues to be extremely strong DOM and pretty much everywhere overseas. Depending on how long it can go in Japan it may well make it to the $1.5b mark, which is incredible really. Likely range is $1.48-1.52b total.Weird that it's been in cinemas here in Iceland for a few weeks and is only now opening in Scandinavia
Frozen 2 being almost 50% bigger than the big finale to the star wars skywalker saga, wowzas.

I agree with you second paragraph basically. 8 is the best film but in the context of the saga its almost irrelevant.I liked phantom menace and attack of the clones a fair amount when they first came out but they were really focused on wee kids. George sure made his merchandise money off me lol. Revenge of the sith was darker and significantly better in many ways but it still very much has that distinctive prequel feel. It's super easy to lump them together as a monolith and I'd argue the general public has. It's not like prequel memes only focuses on the first two films haha.
Box office wise its been funny to see lots of people, who aren't particularly knowledgable in the box office, claiming TROS has been doing amazingly well since its now only $6m behind TLJ launch aligned, people saying that means its legs are better and its going to fly past TLJ's $620m dom total.
Of course, the reality is TLJ released 5 days earlier and its second full week was massive. Monday onwards TLJ starts to smoke TROS. It did $27.5m on its second monday compared to estimated $14.5m for TROS. TLJ grossed $149m in its second full week, TROS will be lucky to add $90m... and the gap will keep growing. $14.5m monday means it may well miss the $500m domestic mark after all.

With a budget of about $100m they might make a loss.

Quote from: Xevross on Feb 10, 2020, 02:47 PMThat definitely lowered hype and expectations, but doesn't explain how the film came in so far below tracking from earlier in the week.Yeah seems like you are right. Because everytime I see an add to this it does feel like it wants to appeal to that demographic. And if a few curse words are what stopped it then it seems like a bad decision.
Apparently 35% of the film's audience are under 25 compared to 54% for Suicide Squad and teens are giving it the most positive scores, seems like the R rating was just a disastrous decision. Teens who want to see the film and will probably enjoy it and create WOM aren't being allowed to watch. Marketing was very much trying to be teen appealing as well. Just a really weird clash of ideas on this one.
Overseas opening is possibly even worse for the film with a global opening of $81m (expectation was about $120m). It will probably squek past $200m but not much more, which is very much the territory for being in the red.
Looking forward to seeing how much Parasite jumps in the next week.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Feb 10, 2020, 10:44 PMHow the eff do a few curse words make it R rated though lol.Its not just a few curse words but its very heavy on the swearing, lots of motherfuckers and stuff like that. Add that onto the violence and some naughtiness and drug references and they got themselves an R rating. Apparently all the swearing adds nothing to the film, its just there for the sake of it. And without all the swearing it would have got by with a teen rating.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Feb 10, 2020, 10:44 PMHow the eff do a few curse words make it R rated though lol.It's not the naughtiness and violence that made it R. It's the sexy violence. 8)
Quote from: BananaKing on Mar 09, 2020, 10:46 PMOnward looks so dull. I cant believe it's a pixar movie. Seems so devoid of soulWow that's really harsh and from what I've read far from the truth. It definitely doesn't look like a pixar film but apparently it still has a lot of soul and is an emotional tale. I guess its just quite simple and wasn't advertised very well.
Quote from: Xevross on Mar 09, 2020, 09:57 PMOnward debuted with $39.11M dom. Awful, no other way to put it. That's Pixar's worst opening for 22 years sing Bug's Life in 1998, and that's not adjusted for inflation of course.How are the markets in general? Bond was delayed to Thanksgiving due to coronovirus so maybe Disney will view the loss from that angle.
International debut is even worse. With a big budget of $175M+ this one is making a massive loss for Disney.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 09, 2020, 11:49 PMThis is the second time I've heard of this movie.
Quote from: Legend on Mar 10, 2020, 07:45 PMHow are the markets in general? Bond was delayed to Thanksgiving due to coronovirus so maybe Disney will view the loss from that angle.Not great, they're trending down although its not a disaster.
Not a good sign for Mulan though.Ironically, I think it looks better than their next movie, "Soul."
Having a dad with just legs sounds like a classic Pixar premise. Sure the rest of the film feels like Dreamworks but that core story gives me hope.
I've seen a lot of adds but I forget its name every single time.

Quote from: Legend on Mar 22, 2020, 09:51 PMIs this the lowest weekend in history?Well that was thursday like I said but it may be the lowest in history. The drop from the start of the week is mad, Onward grossed $750k on monday (and that was already really bad).
I don't know how far back the numbers go but I don't think even WW2 was this bad.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 20, 2020, 11:23 PMBoxoffice: only 14 movie theaters open in the US. And the top film this week made less than $2000. Crazy.First time watching spiderverse?
Me: am watching Into the Spiderverse. Very delightful movie. Visuals are really special.
Quote from: Xevross on Apr 20, 2020, 11:39 PMFirst time watching spiderverse?Yep.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 21, 2020, 12:00 AMYep.Makes me sad, Spiderverse is such a slept-on movie. People who would really enjoy it just haven't given it a chance, mainly because it still hasn't been watched by too many people. Hopefully with how positively the film is viewed the sequel will do much better at the box office.
I don't watch many movieslatelyever
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Apr 21, 2020, 10:07 AMSpeaking of sleeping on movies. People need to watch Klaus on Netflix (yes it's a Christmas film).

Dunkirk doesn't sound like my cup of tea, but eh.

I've read some mixed reviews about tenet but I will see it soon

Interstellar was way too long and the last hour or so was pretty terrible in most ways. It should have just ended.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Aug 27, 2020, 08:14 PMI never wanted it to end. Music and cinematics were just amazingMusic was terrible, just a loud horn than didn't stop. I'll agree with you on the cinematics though :P

Quote from: nnodley on Sep 06, 2020, 11:41 PMTenet opened with $20million in the US and $146 million world wide. Which is actually not too bad considering everything. And if they keep the movie in theaters for long enough more and more might start opening back up so it should hopefully be at least profitable.they should have just held onto the movie until next year.

International opening weekend was about $50M, domestic was about $11M. Its still doing okay considering the times but only thanks to Europe really. Asia and domestic are a lot worse than people thought.
Quote from: Xevross on Sep 07, 2020, 01:31 PMAnyone seen Mulan? I heard some people say its good, some say its terrible. I'm not watching because I don't want to support that shame. Kinda hoping this fails for disney and loses money, it'll be interesting to see if they release numbers for the gross of this one.don't have disney+ and I also don't want to support this shame.
Quote from: BananaKing on Sep 07, 2020, 02:02 PMThe more i think about it the more i dislike tenet. Honestly at this point I'm feeling its a shame movie. The plot was just so stupid. The characters were one dimensional at best. Abd the villain was horriblenow that I've seen dark no time travel themed show/movie deserves to exist. too much the disappointment.
There where just a couple of fight seems that were somewhat cool
Quote from: kitler53 on Sep 07, 2020, 02:27 PMdon't have disney+ and I also don't want to support this shame.Funny, I watched season 2 of umbrella academy right after finishing Dark and it seemed so cheesy and unrealistic in comparison
the review I liked was the one that said it is following in the foot steps of star wars and marvel for being crud. the plot and characters were cut to make room for visual effects. sums up perfectly why I think modern disney is shame so i'm quite certain I will not like mulan.
now that I've seen dark no time travel themed show/movie deserves to exist. too much the disappointment.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Sep 07, 2020, 04:28 PMFunny, I watched season 2 of umbrella academy right after finishing Dark and it seemed so cheesy and unrealistic in comparisonsame. i really, really like umbrella academy but the time travel aspects are not the focus or the part worth bragging about. umbrella academy has style, and amazing soundtrack, and a refreshingly quirky unique set of characters. time travel is obviously key to the story line but also not exactly the focus. ..more like the prerequiste.
Quote from: Legend on Sep 12, 2020, 11:56 PMTenet was amazing.It was shame, good sir.
Had issues with the early parts of the film but they are great in hindsight. Need to watch it again.
Only movie or game that actually handles time travel right.
Quote from: BananaKing on Sep 13, 2020, 12:07 AMIt was shame, good sir.Best movie released in years.
Quote from: Xevross on Sep 12, 2020, 11:51 PMMulan is a massive flop in China. Kind of expected given the last week but earlier in the year this was expected to be a massive movie in China. Overall seems Mulan will make a huge loss for Disney.given the shame show that is america's mismanagement of covid i wouldn't be caught dead in a movie theatre right now.
Tenet is doing well in Europe but below expectations everywhere else, particularly in the US. US performance is pretty dire actually, other studios are seeing this and are staying the hell away still. WW84 was trying to release October 2nd but now delayed to Dec 25th. I think studios will be constantly monitoring the situation and if it doesn't get better by even Dec then everything will be pushed back again.
Quote from: Legend on Sep 12, 2020, 11:56 PMTenet was amazing.Yeah the time stuff is so awesome.

Quote from: Xevross on Sep 14, 2020, 10:11 AMSeems like Tenet is doing so badly in the US that most theatres are actually losing money due to it. They agreed to put it in the majority of their screens and its doing nowhere near enough business to cover theatre's costs of being open on that many screens.weren't they losing money before too? i would have figured this was more like optimism on both parts that a good movie could get people to go to the theatres.
Quote from: kitler53 on Sep 14, 2020, 01:33 PMweren't they losing money before too? i would have figured this was more like optimism on both parts that a good movie could get people to go to the theatres.No, they weren't open.

Quote from: Legend on Oct 03, 2020, 11:02 PMWhat will movie award shows do?you assume we will have covid fixed in early 2021. the roll out time of a vaccine is like 6 months. even if we get a valid vaccine in January that still means consumers afraid to go out until at least June.
2020 had so few movies and 2021 will have tons.
Tenet best picture!!!

2021 will be devoid of releases too. we probably have another year of this and by then the economy will be Soo trashed that perminate changes are likely.
...and tons of movies released on netflix each week. the stupid theatrical release only idea will die and things like mulan, trolls world tour, ebola holmes will be considered. the preduice against streaming was always dumb anyways.
Quote from: Legend on Oct 04, 2020, 04:26 PMNo problem with streaming but that's what I'm talking about. Tours world tour was so bad compared to the first yet of course it will get nominated for best animated film.we'll I can only speak for myself but Xmas 2021 is the absolute earliest I could imagine my family going to a movie theater. a well destributed vaccine is a mandatory prerequisite.
I loved Tenet. Not joking that it should win because it was the only release.
No clue how 2021 will go with society, but figure they'll have to open the floodgates in theaters or streaming eventually.
QuoteHollywood got a huge shock Saturday night when mega-theater chain Cineworld revealed it is closing down again, including many of its Regal locations in the U.S.
With no new product in the marketplace, a rerelease of the 1993 Halloween cult classic Hocus Pocus was almost able to banish Christopher Nolan's Tenet and take the top spot at the weekend box office with a mere $2 million.

Tenet was also great. I liked it less on my second viewing but I still love it.
Quote from: kitler53 on Mar 08, 2021, 01:46 AMI really like tenet as well. the reverse time machine was a pretty cool take on time travel.Well the main character had some of the usual female traits as well. Just not that one dimensional like before
I don't have anything in particular to complain about but I did feel like the idea wasn't as fully realized as inception was. still a great idea with some pretty awesome fight/action scences as a result of the premise.
a sign of the times. no one wants to see a damsel in distress type movie anymore.
personally I'm a bit disappointed that so much of "equality" is making women be agressive, violent, and independent. it is basically writing the role for a man and casting a women. I genuinely think the quote "femine" qualities deserve to be idolized more: kindness, empathy, community, ect.
I suppose that doesn't make for as entertaining of a movie though.
Quote from: Legend on Mar 08, 2021, 03:33 AMRaya was great. Had dumb baby humor but I'd recomend it. No spoilers Kitler, but watch it. Plot was original.Yeah lol the humor was one thing that wasn't great but the kids in the cinema laughed quite a bit

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Mar 08, 2021, 05:26 PMWell the main character had some of the usual female traits as well. Just not that one dimensional like beforefor the record i wasn't complaining about raya in particular. just the general shift to establish equality by making females adopt traits traditionally associated with males. i think it's great that the world is becoming open to the "female bad dog". i think it's not so great we aren't also seeing an openess to the "empathetic male".

Disney gutted the best parts of Mulan to try and make it better for Chinese audiences so it'd explode in China, but they assigned the task of doing it to four American writers... so yeah.
Didn't fully understand how bad Mulan did in China.

Quote from: Xevross on Jul 09, 2021, 04:16 PM$13.2M previews for Black Widow, by far the biggest since Star Wars Ep 9 in 2019. Expectations are its heading for about a $85-90m weekend given that its on Disney+ and fewer families will turn up at the cinema. Without D+ probably would be thinking over $100m with those previews.Weekend is gonna turn out way lower than thought, gonna be about $78-81m. Seems disney plus premier access has really killed the money from family audiences at the cinema. Saturday for an MCU film would always increase from friday before but now we're looking at over 10% down. There's no way BW should have only opened $10m about Fast 9. If they both came out as expected last year you'd be looking at a $30m difference at least according to expectations. But the main difference here is F9 was a theatres only release.

Wrote it off as just a dumb Netflix film. Ended up liking it more than soul too. Wish this team/studio earned more recognition.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 19, 2021, 09:29 PMI can't get over a lot of stupid elements from the film lol. (no spoilers beyond what is in trailers)Good point. It felt weird. And the whole family dynamic.
Like Black Widow escapes from the "Red Room" which traumatized and tortured her growing up, but this movie retcons/reveals that her name, her outfit, and her symbol all come from this organization. It'd be like a person escaping their life as a hydra soldier yet they still wear their hydra uniform and put hydra logos on all their branding.

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jul 19, 2021, 10:33 PMGood point. It felt weird. And the whole family dynamic.I enjoyed Florence Pugh and David Harbour's acting. Just re-editing the movie probably could have put it in the upper half of Marvel quality for me.
Was a better movie than I was expecting though. Very nice action scenes. A bit disappointed with the villain not being more fleshed out.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 22, 2021, 02:24 PMIt looks good. I wonder how faithful they will be to the book. I also wonder how they will do a sequel, because the second book sucks and certainly doesn't work as a block buster movie
I love how they can only tease the weird stupid stuff in Dune. Can't wait to actually see the bad guy floating around like a balloon.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 25, 2021, 04:58 AMWatched Soul on the airplane.i thought the same thing. felt like a soft sequel to inside out to me. not really a direct sequel but a big recycling of some core concepts. made it feel derivative especially because the ideas were poorly executed.
Was a good movie, feels like it is missing something though.
Also felt like some weird combination of a few other movies like Coco, maybe Inside Out, can't place it.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 27, 2021, 04:27 AMWatched Raya.i thought the length was good. not sure what one would add,.. i can't think of anything right now that felt rushed. maybe a "growing up montage"?
Was very good. I think it could have been better if it was a little longer.
Definitely thought it was better than Soul.
QuoteScarlett Johansson, star of the latest Marvel movie "Black Widow," filed a lawsuit Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court against Disney (https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/DIS), DIS -0.42% (https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/DIS?mod=chiclets)alleging her contract was breached when the media giant released the film on its Disney (https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/DIS) DIS -0.42% (https://www.wsj.com/market-data/quotes/DIS?mod=chiclets)+ streaming service at the same time as its theatrical debut.
According to the complaint, Ms. Johansson's representatives sought to renegotiate her contract after learning of the dual-release strategy for "Black Widow," which she has said is her ninth and last Marvel movie. Disney and Marvel were unresponsive, the suit said.
The decision to put the movie on Disney+ is projected to cost Ms. Johansson more than $50 million, a person familiar with details of her contract claimed.

Seems like a straightforward lawsuit, even though dear gosh big actors are overpaid. Surely that $50 million loss is miscalculated in some way.

I doubt she would have filed this lawsuit in the case she was still doing movies as black widow.

Surely that $50 million loss is miscalculated in some way.I'm going to assume that $50 million is a fairly rosey estimate in favor of Scarlett. ...but I think a reasonable estimate would be easy to calculate: for each Disney+ rental assume 4 boxoffice ticket sales were missed and give her the share of those her contract entitled her too.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Sep 07, 2021, 09:02 PMI feel like it might be silly to talk about the Lord of the Rings. They are incredibly popular, but I'm obsessing and I want to talk about them. ;DIncredible trilogy. Watched it so many times. It's so imaginative, exciting, well acted, fun and funny. It's also dark in places while bright in others. Just a wonderful experience
According to IMDB:Top movies (https://m.imdb.com/chart/top/)
The 3 movies are all in the top 15, which is crazy.
But what makes them so good?
I think what makes these movies incredibly special is the combination of great scenes, great movies on an individual level and how they fit together.
The movies each have scenes that I think are incredible and for different reasons.Spoiler for Hidden:
A lot of what makes these scenes great is some combination of good casting, good acting, good special effects for the time.
But most importantly Tolkien's good writing.
I saw it mentioned on Reddit that each movie is a good movie on their own. And I think there's some amount of truth to that.
Even to the point where if for some reason only one of the movies existed, I think it would still be an enjoyable experience. Collectively they'd be worse, you'd miss out on the adventure, and the overall context.
But I think they'd still be good movies.
If you just watched the second one, you'd get a pretty good tale about beating Saruman.
If you just watched the third one, you'd get a pretty good tale about beating Sauron.
I think the first one is a little weaker in this regard, and it would end on a more hopeless note, but it still has a conflict resolution.
Together though, they truly make for an adventure.
Quote from: kitler53 on Sep 09, 2021, 04:38 PMgonna be honest,.. the movies didn't do it for me. amazing books and i will say traslating them to the movies is not an easy task. ...but some of the changes they made to the story was just dumb. i didn't hate the movies.. really i liked them enough. still didn't love them.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 29, 2021, 08:29 PMProbably a controversial opinion.ditto for marvel. ditto for nintendo.
But I feel like Disney (animated) movies are a bit overrated. Not that they make bad movies, but I think there are some other animation studios out there that makes movies just as good, that doesn't get a fraction of the attention.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 29, 2021, 08:29 PMProbably a controversial opinion.Pixar yes, Disney maybe.

Quote from: Legend on Nov 29, 2021, 09:05 PMPixar yes, Disney maybe.I think I'd put Studio Ghibli above them.
What other movies are you thinking of?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 29, 2021, 09:28 PMI think I'd put Studio Ghibli above them.Studio ghibli is great. I thought you meant cgi studios like dreamworks or illumination.
But you may disagree. :P
I feel like Disney's strong point is that they have a long history, and definitely have fewer lows than a lot of other studios, but I also feel like there are other studios that have higher highs (even if most of their content is pretty bad overall.)

Quote from: Legend on Jan 24, 2022, 05:22 PMThink this movie will flop?I think since it has Tom Holland it will do pretty well and hit more than the video game nerds. But it won't be that big of a hit. Will do well enough to get a sequel i bet.
Or will it be big like spiderman?
Quote from: kitler53 on Jan 24, 2022, 09:43 PMis any movie not a flop these days? only anti-vaxxers are going to the movies..Spiderman is one of the biggest movies of all time. And it hasn't even opened in China yet. Could hit 2 billion WW

Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jan 25, 2022, 10:51 PMI think Uncharted could do 3-400m with some luckSupposedly it had a 120 million budget so anything over 300m would be great. I think it could get there. Definitely not going over 500 million.
Quote from: nnodley on Feb 20, 2022, 11:38 PMUncharted made 51million for its opening week and 139 million worldwide. Which is pretty goodIt's been advertised a lot +Tom Holland is now a superstar
More than I was expecting really
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 20, 2022, 11:41 PMIt sounds like it wasn't a good movie, but it was a fun movie and good for fans.Yeah I've heard mixed. But really what can you expect from a treasure hunter movie.

Quote from: Legend on Feb 27, 2022, 03:12 PMAlso saw uncharted and felt about the same.yeah. I was really impressed with Holland. I still think nathon Dillion is the perfect casting but I do suppose he's old. Holland really did great with that cocky, funny, improvisational style that I think is the Hallmark of Drake.
Wasn't a copy of the game but respected it more than I expected. Really looking forward to what they can do with the next one.

I have to get my movies worth somehow... if that means I gotta shame on it then I will do so :P
usually we just say a movie is bad and move on. ...so I guess it must have done something right.

Netflix easily has the best UI. A lot of services do weird things like having each language be its own entry as an episode in a TV series. So it's super annoying to have to jump around, and it's baffling as to why more services don't have it all together.
Or I think Amazon has every season of every series TV series as its own selectable entry, making it bizarrely difficult to get to the next season of a series.

Quote from: Legend on May 07, 2022, 09:57 PMDr. Strange was meh. Multiverse stuff was fun once in spiderman, but they're making Avengers look like a small self contained story.Disappointing about the trailer. After all this time you'd think the first teaser for it would be straight mind blowing
Avatar trailer was also meh. Just a few random shots that didn't show much. Feel like I missed a few details though.
Quote from: nnodley on May 07, 2022, 11:07 PMDisappointing about the trailer. After all this time you'd think the first teaser for it would be straight mind blowingI think I was spoiled by the avatar game trailer, which has a pretty similar setup. That gave me "wow Pandora is back" feelings while the movie trailer was more like "yes avatar is back, but what makes this one different?" TBF it has a lot of different details which are pretty intriguing the more I think about them, but there's no immediate shock.

I really like Kung Fu Panda.
Quote from: Legend on Jun 27, 2022, 11:07 PMWhen was the last time they made something great? They've always been all over the place but I feel like they've gotten worse.Depends on what you consider great. I think Dragons 3 was pretty good, that was not that long ago.
Feels like Illumination has replaced them as the #2 behind Disney/Pixar. Minions Rise of gru was better than I expected.
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on May 25, 2022, 01:12 AMI still remember Ryan Gosling on that Canadian show Breaker High. Then he went and did Young Hercules. How far he's come.

Did they ever finish the story?
Though I think they have a big issue that it's been a long time since they made anything new that was great.
Illumination is way more consistent for sure though. Even Sing 2 I thought was pretty decent.

The Mitchells vs the machines was amazing. Spider verse is great.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Sep 06, 2022, 11:47 PMMy kids have watched Monster's Inc about 40 times. It's a pretty good movie.I think that's just part of the sense of humor. I dont remember the scene tbh but sounds like the type of jokes early on pixar would put here and there
There are a few lines that kind of stand out to me.
"Rule number 1 out here, always.... never go out in a blizzard"
It's kind of odd, like it feels like it's a reference to something, but I don't see anyone talking about it. It's a little odd, because I feel like movies don't usually intentionally have mistakes like that, unless they're for humor or for some other reason. Like accidentally revealing something or causing confusion. But this line doesn't do any of that.
Quote from: nnodley on Nov 02, 2022, 02:14 PMLooks stunning! I just hope the movie is good
Good lord the underwater sequences look like they are going to be insane. Annoying the trailer doesn't have 4k on youtube
Also i was worried with James Horner's death that the music wouldn't feel the same, but dang both trailers so far the soundtrack sounds amazing.

I think a director's cut that's also 48 fps the whole time could be a 10/10.
I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

Quote from: nnodley on Dec 26, 2022, 01:22 AMWay of water looks to pass 900 million Monday or Tuesday. Pretty crazy it's gonna pass multiverse of madness' full run in 2 weeks or lessI'm pretty happy with my ~$2 billion prediction before release. I just meant it as a general "closer to 2 than 1 or 3" but it might end up really close to it.
Not sure it will hit 2 billion but I'd say it will easily pass 1.5 billion
Hoping to go see it in imax this week or next
Quote from: nnodley on Dec 27, 2022, 02:58 AMYeah I think it's definitely getting pretty close to 2 billion. I'd imagine the 1 billion it's about to hit will be enough to break even. No way it needs 2 billion just ti break even. Pretty sure that was taken way out of context when he said thatSure seems like it'll make enough to greenlight 4 and 5.

I haven't been following very closely. Not sure if different release periods are making a big difference.
All I know for sure is that people were pretty sure that it would not hit the top 5, when it was coming out.
Quote from: kitler53 on Dec 27, 2022, 11:32 PMthe original was pretty throttled by a limited number of theatres technically capable of showing it.But the first didn't have any cultural impact :P
and movie tickets are like 2x the price as they were back then.
gratz I guess but this is no where near the social impact as the original and I highly doubt this will have the legs of the original which was still in theatres a year after release.
Quote from: nnodley on Dec 27, 2022, 11:48 PMLast 2 days of box office have been adjusted up like 8 million each day than what estimates were. This week will be bigger than a normal week as well as New Year's Eve and new years as people are off and kids are still on winter break till next weekI think it really depends on the story of 3, 4, and 5. 2 is very similar to 1 and if all of them are like that, the fatigue will be massive.
Guarantee between way of water and avatar 3 they are gonna be getting near 4 billion easily. Unless 3 is just garbage. 4 and 5 are where avatar fatigue could come in. I personally think there should be a bigger gap between 3 and 4
Quote from: nnodley on Dec 30, 2022, 05:02 AM1.1 billion today. Adding around 70million a day right now. And with it being a weekend again with people off or taking off it's likely to hit near 1.4 billion by January 2nd or 3rd I bet. Which is pretty good. Only movies in the past 5 years to rake in money this fast has been no way home, endgame and infinity warI don't want to celebrate too early since things could drop really quickly in January, but it's amazing how well it's doing. Was so funny just over a week ago when $1.4 billion felt optimistic.
Feels like 2 billion might be a given. If not at least 1.9 billion. Should be plenty to green light 4 and 5

Wonder how the Ubisoft game will do. It feels very "dated" now that I've seen Avatar 2. Without characters or locations from the new film, will people be as interested?
Quote from: BananaKing on Dec 30, 2022, 09:52 PMI think locations from the second can be added as DLC and expansions, which would sell a lot.Yeah it's not like the success will hurt the game lol.
I think this success will only help the game. And the game if its good will help the movies. Smart business so far if you ask me
Quote from: Legend on Dec 30, 2022, 10:02 PMYeah it's not like the success will hurt the game lol.Did they confirm that there will be no water locations from the second movie?
Just at least for me, this trailer feels a lot more bland now. Hopefully the game is holding a lot back.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 31, 2022, 04:25 AMI don't remember if I mentioned this.
Watched Frozen with my son, he wanted to watch it for some reason. I felt like it was a much better movie than I remembered. I don't think I liked it at all the first time, but it was totally fine I thought.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 31, 2022, 04:25 AMOn a different note, does Avatar 1 look kind of off in a few scenes?
Most of the scenes I think still look great. But there are a couple of scenes that look kind of gamey, or something.
Quote from: Legend on Dec 31, 2022, 04:28 PMWow $24.4 million domestic yesterday. It keeps doing better than expected.Yeah and it's definitely gonna do way better than Christmas Eve and Christmas Day domestic too. It's gonna have some decent legs I think. But just to think James Cameron may have 3 of the top 5 or 6 grossing movies of all time. Which is insane
Still such a large domestic range. Maybe it reaches #1 all time, maybe it doesn't crack top 10. We need one more week of data to know imo.
Quote from: nnodley on Jan 02, 2023, 06:16 PMits definitely got really good buzz. The vast majority are enjoying it. It does also help theres not much else noteworthy to watch, but still crazy 2 billion seems to be locked now. CrazyThe deep freeze also really impacted last week, but it's still fun to see.
Quote from: Legend on Jan 02, 2023, 07:05 PMThe deep freeze also really impacted last week, but it's still fun to see.thats true, but i'm still really surprised christmas weekend was as high as it was with that.
Worldwide I'm getting really hopeful that it'll beat Titanic. With Avatar 2, Top Gun 2, and Spiderman No Way Home, I think it's safe to say the pandemic has shifted audiences but mega blockbusters are fully viable again.
Quote from: nnodley on Jan 03, 2023, 10:32 PMMonday estimate was turned official at 21 million. So added 2 million more to monday. 1.443 billion now.

Quote from: BananaKing on Jan 04, 2023, 06:35 AMSo based on projections, where do we think it will end?$2.1 billion is my prediction, but I'm making a lowball prediction so I can be excited when it does better.
1.8 billion? 2? 2.4?
Quote from: Dr. Pezus on Jan 06, 2023, 02:10 PMPeople really like avatarYuuup. This notion that no one likes the franchise and that it was a novelty because of the tech and 3d being so revolutionizing on its first release was such asinine battleship, that a very loud vocal minority spouts online. These are movies that the general population really like to see. And that can be seen in Way of Water's box office in just 3 weeks.
Quote from: Legend on Jan 05, 2023, 05:12 AMAlso I don't understand why so many people think the water is real. How the heck would that be cheaper when you still need a cgi blue person in it?I have no idea about the movie. So maybe we are talking about different things, or maybe this article is misleading.
QuoteThe key to it was to actually shoot underwater and at the surface of the water so people were swimming properly, getting out of the water properly, diving in properly," Cameron said ahead of the film's release. "It looks real because the motion was real. And the emotion was real."
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jan 07, 2023, 12:52 AMI have no idea about the movie. So maybe we are talking about different things, or maybe this article is misleading.They shoot motion capture underwater. It looks like the pic in your link:

Quote from: nnodley on Feb 06, 2023, 12:44 AMI'm still surprised but so happy it even got to where it is. I want all the sequelsYeah after the first trailer dropped I lowered my hype and was prepared for a sub billion run.
At one point my best case guess was it ending around 1.8ish billion
Quote from: Legend on Feb 05, 2023, 11:31 PMYup. Absolutely no staying power. Sure, no movie in the past 25 years has stayed longer at #1 than Avatar 2, but those are all fads too!Well did those movies continue earning money in the box office for years? Or did they have a short run with high earnings then drop off quickly? Because those are fads!!
#AvatarTheWayOfWater hit 2.2B at Global #BoxOffice on FRI as new king of the world beating #Titanic’s 2.19B global run as #3 highest grossing film of all time.

Quote from: Legend on Jan 31, 2023, 07:50 PMHow many months till their plans fall apart?Depends what happens with their new Superman movie. There's a reason why Superman Returns didn't meet expectations and just kind of cancelled everything Superman for a while. If James Gunn can get the children who go out and subscribe to Disney Plus to go out and enjoy this movie he's making, then everything from then on will be popular like Marvel stuff. If he can't, then the movie is going to do poorly and they'll can him faster than Zack, considering he's going scorched earth on everything. A Superman Returns styled movie, is unfortunately boring and his outline sounds a lot like it, just with a younger Clark.

I wonder if it will be able to hit 2.3 billion now. It's really close and seems possible
Crazy how people didn't even expect it to hit 2 billion
Also quantumania had a good opening. Will be near 400million after the holiday weekend(for US)
Quote from: Legend on Feb 20, 2023, 03:21 AMAvatar really blew my prediction out of the water...Their number is including all the estimates through Monday. They adjust as actual numbers come through. So it might go down but they seem to have been decent with way of water
Quantumania will not be that high lol. It's only $225 million through Sunday.

Quote from: nnodley on Mar 01, 2023, 01:26 AMThey are just oversaturating box office and tv screens with MCU content that its just too much.

Quote from: Legend on Apr 28, 2023, 04:25 PMWow that scene does look bad. Why would you make a movie about fire beings without making sure their lighting looked great?I saw the Wish trailer yesterday and was actually thinking it looked like a low res textured game
I'll watch the movie and it'll be fine but it looks uninspired to me. Zootopia already did something pretty similar with a city divided into groups and almost every animated movie involves people becoming friends despite their differences.
I think Disney Wish looks slightly better. I hate the artstyle but half of Disney's recent animated movies have been pretty good.
Quote from: Legend on Apr 28, 2023, 04:25 PMWow that scene does look bad. Why would you make a movie about fire beings without making sure their lighting looked great?I really liked Zootopia and I think that's a pretty universal story; so I'm sure I would like the story.

Quote from: kitler53 on Apr 28, 2023, 08:52 PMnot really trying to defend elemental here but maybe i am...I mean that's not really the issue.
...the thing about "great graphics" is it makes everything far more intense for children. as "great" as puss in boots: the last wish looked to me,.. my kids had nightmares from it. i can show my kids all sorts of things from the 80's and 90's (like the original star wars) but the very comparable thing from today (star wars episode 9) is just too intense to be watched by a child.
elemental may look "bad" to an adult but i know my kids won't care. ..they'll actually probably like it more for it's lack of detail.
know your customer.

Quote from: kitler53 on May 02, 2023, 03:04 PMjust finished the trailer,.. it honestly looks surprisingly good. i think they picked a pretty smart direction with this franchise to make it not about the game (a generic racing movie) but about the player. it's a unique take in the genre that both highlights the game without having any particular reason to be beholden to it.Yeah I was surprised how well it seems to balance respecting the game and mocking the absurdity of it. Might make a profit.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 14, 2023, 01:05 AMA few random things:Always went with widescreen. It's funny that it was even a thing.
Does anyone remember the "widescreen" DVDs, and "fullscreen" DVDs? It's a little funny to think that widescreen is actually fuller than full screen today.
I'm not 100% sure how big this was. But older movies were captured on film, so those can get reprocessed and turned into 4K basically. But it seems like there's a funny era where quality was basically lower, after film, but before high resolution digital video. So there's a lot of movies in the middle that are basically worse than older ones and newer ones quality wise. And that's a little funny to think about.
It also kind of makes me sad that there are tons of movies and tv shows that are made in 4:3. They will forever have rectangular black boxes on the sides of our TVs. Although VR/AR is a great possibility to get around that....
Quote from: Legend on Jun 14, 2023, 02:12 AMWow. 2 and 3 were filmed at the same time so unless it's doing reshoots, this is just a marketing+polish delay.Yeah i'm assuming with the huge success of way of water that they are gonna make sure he has the time he needs. way of water is disney's biggest succes in the past year

This made so many weird changes to the lore that I doubt Nintendo proposed. I did not like Mario having a family one bit lol.
for me it was the terrible story line and terrible dialog. so much of the movie was clearly motivated by "how do we get a .... reference in?". and the answer was always "no one cares if it it makes any sense just throw ... it in somewhere"
I think Nintendo had a big influence on the script...

I've seen a surprising number of instances where the 4k is cheaper than the blu-ray and even the DVD.
Like Puss in Boots right now on the Prime Deal (I know I'm cheating) is 3 cents more for the 4K version vs the DVD, and $2.64 cheaper than the blu-ray.
The Batman was on sale a couple of weeks ago for $10 for the 4K version, whereas the DVD has never gone below $10.97 all year. And then the 4K version was $8 yesterday.

Quote from: Legend on Jul 13, 2023, 04:52 PMThe narrative/marketing around it is really weird. By all accounts it's just a normal movie that was made in 2018 yet everything else about it has become pretty political: Sound of Freedom (film) - Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_of_Freedom_(film))Lots of weirdness.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 13, 2023, 05:17 PMLots of weirdness.People are definitely stirring controversy as a form of marketing, but I can't find any going "why are these people talking about this random movie?" since everything now talks about its box office reception like: Sound of Freedom: the QAnon-adjacent thriller seducing America | Movies | The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jul/06/sound-of-freedom-movie-qanon-jim-caviezel)
I see Ben Shapiro and other conservatives complaining that the movie was getting ignored by the media.
And then it seems like left wing media/liberal are reporting on it, going "why are these people talking about this random movie?"
I'm pretty sure lots of movies get ignored...
Makes me wonder if some people are stirring controversy to make it more popular.

Quote from: nnodley on Jul 14, 2023, 08:43 PMWhere do you have your Plex located? I'm looking at maybe setting one up for a single base for all my content I have right now.I have my gaming computer set up with a Plex media server.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 14, 2023, 09:06 PMI have my gaming computer set up with a Plex media server.Cool. Yeah i figure i'd just set up on my PC. I plan on upgrading my rig eventually so i'd just then use my current one as a plex server full time.
Jellyfin is another alternative that is free and open source.
Plex has a paid pass, but that's mostly if you want to stream to your phone or outside of the house I believe. Or if you want to share with someone else. I got the lifetime pass for $60 I think, but it's regularly $120. Streaming to Roku and console is free I believe. My parents have access to my Plex.
And a crazy 12 TB of media, mostly ripped from DVDs and blu-ray.
I feel like I would have a hard time recommending it, because it takes a fair amount of effort to set up.
If you already have a collection of movies on your computer that are DRM free, it's easy to set up.
I personally like collecting movies and it's super nice to have all my media in one place.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 14, 2023, 09:22 PMIs it super easy to switch from plex to jellyfin, or do they have different file/folder requirements?I haven't tried Jellyfin, but it looks like the file and folder requirements are almost the exact same.

Great stop motion movie.

But the third act was just horrible. Why do action movies insist on including kids in fight scenes. Its annoying and dumb. There is just a lot of dumb things in it. And at the times the acting was horrible
With movies being so expensive nowadays I'd love if there was a person who's sole job was just making sure things make sense. Like a continuity supervisor but for the plot.

Quote from: BananaKing on Jul 19, 2023, 05:30 PMSo what happened to box office mojo? Why did they stop updating their site with articles and such? They even stopped doing head to head comparisonsYeah they were the best a decade ago but for years they've been cannibalizing it to try and push people towards IMDB.

the-numbers.com is a good replacement.

Why do action movies insist on including kids in fight scenes. Its annoying and dumb. There is just a lot of dumb things in it. And at the times the acting was horribleIt's 100% an exec thing. "If they have kids in there, you can then sell them toys". I remember, either reading an interview, or watching an interview from Bruce Timm. Warner execs went up to them and asked them to make a teen based Batman show. I can't remember how he worded it, but essentially they wanted a high school Batman to sell toys to kids or something along those lines. Timm and Dini were so mad at the execs for wanting them to dumb things down (Batman TAS and Superman TAS were pretty tame and all age friendly), they were going to walk. Another producer was also told about wanting to do a teenage show and he got super excited, he was like "We can do this with this show, and that" so after seeing his enthusiasm Timm and Dini calmed down and were going to support him. Show ended up being Batman Beyond, you know, probably the "darkest" and "adult" of the DCAU... What I imagine WB wanted was something like X-men Evolution (Which is probably why it got made). A high school X-men Evolution style Batman wasn't going to work... It's just that producers have way more sway in movies. It also doesn't help that these execs are old and have dementia. So things are getting increasingly made for pre-schoolers instead of being all ages (Family Friendly). Like, they think the youngens today are all pre-schoolers. Case in point; the new Ninja Turtles movie. "They're teenagers, that's what teenagers are like", except I work with teenagers for a living, and no, that's not what teenagers are like. The new turtles are aged betweened 6-8. Which is fine and I'm sure the movie is going to be fine, but that's where movie exec's mentalities are. They told producers to make a new Ninja Turtles movie and aim it for what they think are teenagers. What they think are teenagers are pre-schoolers. It also doesn't help current day writers just aren't good and you have this mess.
Quote from: nnodley on Jul 20, 2023, 04:07 PMI started The Flash last night. Still have an hour to finish, but overall i'm liking it mostly. Some silly dialogue at times and the CGI even outside of the flash's running is hit and miss.It starts off well. But it it ends badly IMO
I so wish that Ezra Miller didn't do the things he had been doing the past few years. I actually like him well enough as the flash, but oh well. I just hope when they do eventually recast its someone really good.
Quote from: BananaKing on Jul 20, 2023, 04:12 PMIt starts off well. But it it ends badly IMOWell dang. lol. I definitely was enjoying the first hour or so. Guess I'll see the end later tonight.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 20, 2023, 04:13 PMI hope that Gunn is able to turn around the DC universe, and that there's not anymore reboots.I liked suicide squad more than the suicide squad and disliked gotg2, but Gunn can be pretty great.
It's probably just nostalgia, but I find the DC universe to be more interesting than the Marvel one.
For me personally
Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter are all up there with Iron Man, Captain America and Thor. But that's probably mostly because my dad would watch the Justice League show.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jul 22, 2023, 04:50 PMThe kids have been watching Alvin and the Chipmunks movies. It's their current "kick".How many of those movies did they end up making? I think I've only seen the first modern 2009 one.
They're kind of bad. The weirdest part about them has to be when the human people have weird issues with the Chipmunk people.
Like when a teenage boy tells chipmunks not to talk to a girl.
Super weird stuff.
Quote from: Legend on Jul 22, 2023, 05:25 PMHow many of those movies did they end up making? I think I've only seen the first modern 2009 one.They made 4.
QuotePUZO: Yeah, I mean, it was a cinch because it was the first time I'd ever written a screenplay, so I didn't know what I was doing. You know, it's - and it came out right. And the story I tell is that after I had won two Academy Awards, you know, for the first two "Godfathers," I went out and bought a book on screenwriting because I figured I'd better learn...
GROSS: (Laughter).
PUZO: ...You know, what it's about because it was sort of off the top of my head. And then the first chapter - the book said, study "Godfather I." It's the model of a screenplay. So I was stuck with the book.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 03, 2023, 04:15 PMSupposedly the Sound of Freedom had been astroturfed.Reminds me of im_literally_the_only_person_watching_avatar_2 (https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/zn74uy/im_literally_the_only_person_watching_avatar_2_in/)
I've seen a number of people claiming that they've seen an entire theater be reserved for the movie and no one shows up. They are surmising that churches are reserving seats and trying to give them away.
I did see a video where someone showed this, but there were some gaps. Like they showed a theater and showed that all the seats were reserved online. Reasonably possible that it wasn't the same theater.

People will always have funky experiences but it's just people trying to rationalize why a movie they dislike is doing well. Exact same thing happened with Captain Marvel. CEO of AMC (https://twitter.com/CEOAdam/status/1679212647772995586) strongly disputed it.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 03, 2023, 05:19 PMFrom a popularity standpoint for sure.No I mean this exact same thing happens. People claimed Captain Marvel tickets were being bought by Disney to fluff the numbers. They'd see seats were sold out online yet at the theater there'd be empty seats.
Rather curious that people are claiming that tickets are sold out.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 03, 2023, 06:18 PMI figured that was the case. ;DIt's funny that I haven't heard of stuff like this on the game side. A game dev could easily buy a bunch of bots to make their steam activity look better.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 04, 2023, 07:16 PMIs something like this normal?First big hit to use something like that. People can donate to let more people watch it but if no one redeems a ticket, the money can skip the box office and go 100% into the studio. The movie has made $156 million so far at the box office yet there's no way to know how much extra money the studio is gonna make from donated tickets that go unclaimed.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Aug 15, 2023, 02:35 AMSo I ordered a bundle of Little Mermaid movies.Disney's direct to home sequels sure are something.
I thought it would be fun for the kids to watch the two movies.
Got the discs today, and saw a strange message pop up when I put the disc into the computer. "Little Mermaid II and Little Mermaid III"
And that is how I found out there are 3 Little Mermaid movies.

It is legitimately very good.
What did you watch as a kid? Scooby Doo Where are You, I assume?
A lot of scooby doo is very mediocre. Zombie Island is actually great. Witch's Ghost is a little less great. Movie wise. TV show wise, Mystery Incorporated is generally considered the gold standard.

1980's would also include Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo (which is generally disliked relatively), 13 Ghosts of Scooby Doo (which I think is reasonably liked), and A Pup Named Scooby Doo.
The 80's were a big time for Scooby Doo....

not too surprised other than i'm a bit surprised it would be only xbox. i guess maybe it makes sense but i would have thought playstation's physical sales to be pretty close to xbox with regards to being terrible. at least from what i've seen in my personal life nintendo seems to have a bit more in physical sales.

I once got the special edition of Your Name. I don't remember the exact price, but it was $60+.
A notable one is The Lord of the Rings 4k, I spent like $75 on 3 movies.
There are a few 4k movies that I ordered early, that I spent way too much money on. $30 (Avatar 2, Super Mario Bros, Elemental). Kind of justified it on the basis that we were going to see them in theaters and we didn't.

Quote from: Legend on Oct 29, 2023, 03:01 PMMy mom bought the bluray a week ago for a lot more than $13 lol.Was hoping to get the UHD, but decided it wasn't worth the wait/higher charge.
Physical movies need to be cheaper and/or streaming needs to be more expensive. Crazy that you can save money by buying a month of a streaming service to watch a movie vs buying the disc.
Quote from: Legend on Oct 31, 2023, 03:10 AMIt's a funny and creative movie but if you're not liking the first 40 minutes I doubt you'll like the rest.I was liking it.

Quote"'The Dark Knight' was one of the first films where we formatted it specially for Blu-ray release because it was a new form at the time," he continued. "And in the case of 'Oppenheimer,' we put a lot of care and attention into the Blu-ray version... and trying to translate the photography and the sound, putting that into the digital realm with a version you can buy and own at home and put on a shelf so no evil streaming service can come steal it from you."

Both versions of Aliens will be included on both 4K UHD and Blu-ray.
ALL THREE VERSIONS of Avatar will be included on both 4K UHD and Blu-ray.
The Blu-ray versions of The Abyss and True Lies are mastered from the new 4K scans.
The Blu-ray versions may eventually be available separately, but for now they're exclusive to these 4K UHD + Blu-ray Combos.
All 4K presentations will include Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio on 100 GB discs.

I thought it was amazing how the movie layered absurdity and yet still made sense.
Although there's apparently quite a few people that didn't understand the movie...

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Nov 28, 2023, 03:07 AMI love Laika.Missing link was a movie. Don't remember a thing about it. Boxtrolls I at least remember some things.
Haven't seen Boxtrolls or Missing Link, those never looked as good to me. But Coraline, ParaNorman are great and Kubo is one of my favorites.
Quote from: Legend on Nov 28, 2023, 08:29 AMCorpse Bride is my favorite from them. Didn't know the same people were involved in all these movies though.Funnily enough, I don't associate Corpse Bride with them. That was just contract work.

Quote from: Legend on Nov 24, 2023, 06:25 PMSome jokes were pretty funny but others were really lame imo. Felt like a live action Rick and Morty at times and I was already pretty tired of that show. Also the main story was too obvious imo, I was hoping it'd be smarter than that.
Still an ok movie.

I thought it was based off an anime but I guess it's original. Nice.
And I love that part 2 is just in April. I wish more movies with 2 parts could be so close together.

Quote from: nnodley on Dec 28, 2023, 09:42 PMI quite liked Rebel Moon. The cinematography is pretty great. Snyder sure does love his slow mo shots though. Little overkill. No way in hell is the film as bad as critics say. But it is quite the trend to shame on his movies so not surprisingSnyder is becoming the new micheal bay
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 27, 2023, 02:57 PMI watched The Batman a couple days ago.My friends asked me what I think of "The Batman" and I always answer "It's Batman". When my cousin asked he was like "I understand". Closest thing I've seen to Batman since The Animated Series.
I feel like I didn't like the cast as much as the Nolan Batman movies. The movie was pretty solid though.
Quote from: BananaKing on Dec 29, 2023, 04:03 AMSnyder is becoming the new micheal bayI was watching the tail end of Justice League a few nights ago. I'm still blown away by it. A shame people complain about his work the way they do. Like, we're never going to see super heroes move the way he's shown us. I remember when I watched his cut the first time and it got to the scene where Wonder Woman was fighting the bank robbers. My thoughts were "This is Wonder Woman. If she was real, this is how she'd be." We'll never get that again.

There are some fan projects that have been working on restoring the films of the original trilogy in 4K, before the various edits that were made in later launches.
They just finished 4K80, apparently it took several years to procure the film and to work through them for that one.

QuoteThere are some significant developments happening within the home video industry of late, developments that I've been spending a lot of time investigating and really digging into these past few weeks here at The Digital Bits.
And I can now confidently report that one of them is this:
Disney and Sony have just inked a major deal for Sony Pictures Home Entertainment to take over all of Disney's physical media production going forward.
This means that Sony will handle and oversee the actual authoring and compression of discs, that they'll work with the replicators and packaging vendors, and that they'll oversee the titles as they go out to the distributors and on to retailers.
QuoteThe switch was set in motion a few months ago, when Disney execs started getting a look at nearly finished episodes of the long-developing "Moana" series. (...) Soon, a plan was hatched: Could the episodes be combined into a single theatrical experience?

Quote from: Legend on Feb 25, 2024, 03:58 AMI have yet to buy a 4k movie so I haven't really thought about it, but it's kinda odd that they skip bluray most of the time in those bundles. Who still uses a dvd player yet is buying 4k movies?Sorry I worded that very poorly/ambiguously.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 27, 2024, 04:59 AMNot that anyone cares.I wish those digital copies never expired. I've never bothered but one of these days they might be nice.
But I got Inglourious Basterds. There was no digital code included, despite the box saying otherwise.
So I emailed Universal. They asked for pictures of the back and front. I sent them.
I noticed afterwards that there's a small line that says the included digital copy may not be valid after 2022.
I don't super care about the digital code, but eh, I feel like I should have it.

I don't recall having this before.Not the t.v. show thread, but yeah, I've been spending so much time up converting videos, shows, etc that I feel like I'll never get around to watching them. I'll see how I feel once I'm done arching my Saturday morning cartoons and put them on Plex.
Like I am thinking how much time do I realistically have to watch something? Out of these options, what might people here want to watch?
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Mar 04, 2024, 09:08 PMThe 4k blu-ray reddit is getting excited about Walmart. Best Buy used to have exclusive steel books, which they are no longer selling.My local Walmart has far more blu-ray and 4K than they've ever had.
Some Walmarts have set up steelbook sections.
Would be neat if it came over here. My Walmart barely has any blu-ray/4k.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Feb 25, 2024, 04:35 AMSorry I worded that very poorly/ambiguously.Paramount is apparently doing a whole line of them for very cheap.
I meant it seems way more common for a standalone 4K disc than 4K + blu-ray + DVD.
The vast majority of releases seem to have 4k+blu-ray. But a number of releases will omit/skip the blu-ray. But this is the first time I've seen a bundle that goes all the way from 4k to DVD.
Out of the 38 movies I have bought on 4K:
4K only: 7 (LOTR trilogy, Godfather trilogy, Titanic)
4K + blu-ray: 30
4k+blu-ray+DVD: 1
It makes perfect sense for 4k only to be more common than 4k+blu-ray+dvd, but it's weird because 4k+blu-ray just seems to be the norm.

But Christina did have a vast collection of movies on DVD and Blu-ray, and a portable player that could be charged from an emergency generator.
Word got around. The family's library of physical films and books became a kind of currency. Neighbors offered bottled water or jars of peanut butter for access. The 1989 Tom Hanks comedy The 'Burbs was an inexplicably valuable commodity, as were movies that could captivate restless and anxious children.
"I don't think 99% of people in America would ever stop to think, 'What would I do if I woke up tomorrow and all access to digital media disappeared?' But we know," Christina told me. "We've lived it. We'll never give up our collection. Ever. And maybe, one day, you'll be the one to come and barter a loaf of bread for our DVD of Casino."
Quote"Thank you for your pre-order of Se7en 4K. We are thrilled for you to see it beautifully remastered in UHD. We are working behind the scenes to bring you the most pristine version of the film possible. To that end, we will be shifting the release to 2025. We appreciate your patience and understanding and look forward to sharing the product with you in the near future."

You had Lilo and Stitch, Atlantis, Emperor's New Groove. Some really good to great movies, that feel very different from everything else they make.

Quote from: kitler53 on May 14, 2024, 12:47 AMI have:Well then why the heck have people been calling Avatar dances with smurfs when they should have been calling it Blune!?
1. not read the book
2. not watched the 1984 movie
3. not watch dune part 2 (2024)
...but i've read a lot of news articles about it just because i loved part 1 soo much that i was interested. so according to "them":
1. dune part 1 is a lot closer to to book than 1984.
2. apparently 1984 made changes specifically because they didn't think they had the technical capabilities to show parts of the story
2. dune part 2 is also a lot closer to the book but did some bigger changes than part 1 did.
so in summary, i really though avatar had a lot of Boss Baby vibes to it...
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 16, 2024, 03:54 PMIt's kind of weird being a part of movie collector groups.I loved having a big collection of physical movies but I never cared about all those collector items. I'm just there for the disc.
There's a lot of people that like collecting slip covers (the covers that go over the movie cases).
There's a lot of people that like collecting steelbooks.
Some people have crazy collections of movies.
I saw a reddit post about a month ago where someone had 15,000 digital movies on their Vudu account. One of the comments pointed out that Netflix only had ~5,000.
That's not for me.
I think I own like 350 movies and then I have like 150 movies from my parents and another 100 from my in-laws. There's a ton in there that I wouldn't really care to have. And I feel like I would struggle to find another 100 movies that I would want to buy.
I find it wild that people buy so much. (And I am pretty certain I buy way more than anyone else here)

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on May 20, 2024, 11:43 PMRotten Tomatoes best 300 movies of all time (https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-movies-of-all-time/)Yeah whatever method they're using to adjust scores is really helping animated movies.
For some reason I can't get it to load right now. Web Archive version (https://web.archive.org/web/20240519175204/https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-movies-of-all-time/)
But this is a weird list.
They have Lord of the Rings Two Towers at #40, and they have the other LOTR movies at 201 and 205. That's really weird because most of the time, the first and third movies are more well regarded than the second one critically or by random movie goers. And it's also weird that there's so much space between them.
I also really love How To Train Your Dragon, but I think I love it more than most and even I wouldn't quite put it in my top #15 movies of all time.
Zootopia and Inside Out are in the top #40.

Kind of weird how differences like that can appear on different versions of the same movie. You can click on the image to swap between the blu-ray and 4k versions, but it's like the blu-ray stretches the bottom half of the image.
Quote from: Legend on Jun 18, 2024, 07:43 PMThat is so much worse than I expected. It's not a weird screen distortion, it's a purposeful edit to move his hand into frame. Are you sure those are legit screenshots? Now I really want to compare more frames from the same shot!They're talking about some scene modifications on blu-ray.com:
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 18, 2024, 08:04 PMThey're talking about some scene modifications on blu-ray.com:Wow. I never would have thought of directors getting the greenlight to do stuff like that for just a basic 4K release.

Good middle surrounded by two bad chunks, a sandwich with moldy bread.
Easy bottom of the list for Nolan films imo. So boring a lot of the time and the writing was just hilariously dorky here and there. A 2 hour edit could have been much better.
Quote from: Legend on Jun 24, 2024, 06:41 PMThe explosion was also disappointing. I had heard in advance that it was bad and yeah, it was bad. Why the heck did Nolan use real explosives when a few pounds of tnt look absolutely nothing like a nuclear bomb?

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Jun 26, 2024, 09:14 PMIt's weird to be in a position where I could make you notice things.I'm used to noticing slight edits and cuts for tv versions. I just never thought it was something I had to look out for on home media as well.
It's also a weird change. I don't think one would notice unless both versions were next to eachother like the video.
It's interesting to me that someone would make different cuts for different media (blu-ray vs DVD).
Ifs also fascinating to me that like the post underneath where this video was posted had links to the original audio synced to the 4k movies that someone put together.

Cool but so slow. Movies like this are so common yet they are hardly ever great. Normally I assume they're limited by budget but this was a talking ape movie so idk.

Quote from: Legend on Sep 04, 2024, 04:08 PMIt's really weird artistically. The environments are very detailed unlike the game, yet they still look so fake. It looks like random people off the street walking around on a green screen.Maybe. Maybe not. It can be hard as an adult to predict what kids like but its not like everything made aimed at kids is successful. They'll make snap judgments based on the trailer and either want to see it or not. Also kids talk more than adults so if the movie is good/bad that word of mouth will get around fast.
Based off a big popular IP though so I expect it to make a lot even if it sucks.

But it was very faithfulThe old dune movie just let you hear the voices in people's heads. It was great. I think I like that movie better than the remakes. Had skyrim shouting!
The hard thing with Dune though is that it's written in third person omniscient, so you the writer shares the thoughts of every character on screen, which are sometimes inner thoughts each character has. Which I feel is a bit hard to translate on screen and in movie form. Not impossible, but makes things a bit more difficult

A very well done and interesting movie. I haven't watched anything quite like it, and the closest comparison I can make is the Matrix without much tension or action. But it's very much it's own thing.
Wifey didn't like the flow. We had a different experience because I knew the premise going in.
The movie is kind of low key horrifying.
Watched most of Robot Dreams. A very impactful movie with no dialogue.

Do what games do and take over the resolution and HDR output.VLC just needs to be in true fullscreen right?
So I no-context watched the last 20 minutes of Barbie. Holy hell was this one of the worst, subvert expectations, ending I've ever seen. So I was watching when Barbie was bringing the humans into Barbie world and the Ken's were taking over with their toxic masculinity. Then the Barbie's confused the Ken's and took Barbie world back. I was actually alright with all of that, it's a silly child movie for little girls. What happened after all that is where I was like; "WTF?". So the moral of the Ken's being repressed and treated as second class citizens, which caused them to eventually rebel, is to suppress them again? Toxic masculinity and imperialism is fine if we do it! Turns out men are allowed to have feelings, and when Ken needs to figure out what to do with them, you know, maybe have a compassionate girlfriend help him through them? Nope. "I don't love you Ken, I'm going to the real world to see my gynaecologist. Sucks to be you.". What the hell was that ending?
Quote from: Legend on Nov 06, 2024, 02:34 PMVLC just needs to be in true fullscreen right?VLC full screens into whatever desktop resolution is. I want a player that overtakes Windows resolution the way games do. Oh well.
And yeah the ending of barbie is silly imo, and the rest of the movie only makes it worse. I don't thing they were going for anything with that cause it makes no sense.

It's moving faster than a lot of other things. The Batman II probably would've come out first, but it's currently tracking for late 2026.
Quote from: Legend on Dec 19, 2024, 09:00 PMFinally watched. Not a fan of the casting, looks meh.It bothers me a little bit that he reacts.
Why does he react when hit in the back of the head!?!?
Quote from: Legend on Dec 19, 2024, 09:00 PMYou'd think that would have been a shot they wanted to use to make him seem non human, but instead he feels like a guy on a movie set. I always liked the shot of a bullet shattering off his eye in the movie 20 years ago.But I think that's the opposite of what they're going for.
Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Dec 19, 2024, 09:20 PMIt bothers me a little bit that he reacts.I like supe being emotionally human but how can you make a movie where he's not a god among men?
But I think that's the opposite of what they're going for.
I feel like a lot of the Snyder Superman was "he's a god among men", whereas I feel like Gunn is pushing more on the human element.

Quote from: BananaKing on Feb 25, 2025, 09:53 AMThat's crazy. Why are they having such financial issues?From what I saw a bigger part of it was the strikes that happened a couple years ago. And I'm guessing movies just not doing as well lately at the box office. I also think it's possible they as well have over hired like a lot of the tech industry, and film budgets are so overinflated anymore that it just doesn't seem shocking things are crumbling.

I've only seen two of his movies unfortunately. Most of his movies have a 4k, I'll probably end up getting all of them eventually.
Pulp Fiction feels like it has an atypical arc and I have a hard time knowing how I feel about it.
Inglorious Basterds is more typical - and I guess I want to say a few things about it.Spoiler for Hidden:

not going so far as to say any of this is "bad". just overrated. far too much idolization for movies that are "fine".

Meet the Robinsons is underrated. It's a good time.
Also the Robots (2005) movie is also a little underrated. Not that it's a fantastic movie or anything, but there are worse movies that are held in much higher regard.
