Little Women jumping up is pretty good, Knives Out got them legs, Jumanji with the legs too
Anyways, what are the estimates for the wide opening for 1917?

Wkd Box Office - 1•3-5•20 - Skywalker falls, Little Women soar, and audiences hold a Grudge as Frozen 2 becomes the biggest animated film ever.

Yeah must have just meant it felt long cause 2:15 (which includes credits) isn't long at all.

Box Office Pro is saying about $27m, but the estimate keeps climbing each week. The fact that its already insanely high PTA went UP this week while still only playing in 11 theaters shows some hype for it.
Either way, it is going to easily be #1 for box office next weekend.
Thankfully, it looks like Universal didn't pull a Steve Jobs this time around. They really were fortunate to get the kind of January schedule that they did, because the rest of the month is some diabolical badness.

Feels like it has some great momentum going. Getting into awards season, been a long time since we had a war epic, respected director and cinematographer, unique marketing hook to sell it as a "oner" as well. Definitely one that is being sold as needing to see on the biggest screen possible.
Just back from seeing The Grudge and its fine. No idea how it provoked any kind of strong reaction one way or another. Nothing original, nothing too shocking about the ending either. It's nothing as terrible as say The Bye Bye Man. Heck I'd say it was better than the US sequels to the US remake, which is a low bar, but Grudge 2 got a theatrical release and didn't get an F.
I love mother! and Wolf Creek (both also F grade movies), but with those I can see why they got that grade. With this I have no idea. It's far too whatever.
I'm not surprised it's doing okay. The trailer was great. I'd be shocked if word of mouth is as bad as an F grade would have you think. Perhaps a statistical anomaly here?

I should've never doubted the critically acclaimed massively successful starwars sequel trilogy.
I will take this L.
Not on original release. That happened after the SE's released.
People can like trash all they want, Lord knows I do, I just admit when it is <shrrrrrrug>
You can like a movie and admit its bad. I'll never understand people taking film criticism so personally.

Yup. There are plenty of bad movies that I completely love. But I also recognize that they are bad.
Edit: I don't need this today.
Even if you think a movie is "bad" I don't see the need to mock the idea of defending a movie you enjoy. That's all.

It's the messiest AAA film in a good long while, even more say than BvS, but there was just enough that worked for me.
I don't even hate ME3
The Dark Knight Rises isn't that bad. It's easily Nolan's worst film but it's unintentionally fun.
The first half of TDKR is solid. Everything from when Bruce climbs out the hole on is clown shoes.
I read somewhere in the 700's in a trade posted earlier in the thread
I would say the moment Bruce goes into the prison is when things fall apart. Bruce getting his spine punched back into place made me realize what we were in for...
Perfect example, me and ME3 I adored it but would never defend some of its MAJOR failings. Mordin's fate alone was an all time moment for me, rare a game has made me really feel something
Yeah, but only because the rest of the movie doesn't live up to the incredible meme magic of the first five minutes.
Enough of TROS worked for me to like it overall.
Heck, I like Spider-Man 3.
I really like ME3.

I'm not sure why people don't give this movie more of a pass, That they were able to put together anything coherent after Heath died is remarkable
I just saw Parasite.
Fantastic film. Since it's technically a 2019, it's my favorite film from that year. Overtaking The Irishman.

This is the worst take I've ever seen on this forum and this forum is a factory of bad takes
what have you done
I actually have been meaning to watch that Editor Cut
I left the theater and the people I was with were like "that sucked" and I just shrugged. I thought it was fine.
Only the memes make Spider-Man 3 worthwhile
Oh and ClamBuster
People who like a film by a filmmaker will also probably like the next film by the same filmmaker especially if it features similar storytelling sensibilities. I'm not sure why you find this concept so confusing. It doesn't matter if one has space wizards. The people who like Inception and The Dark Knight are probably 1:1 despite the fact that one of them has a guy dressing up as a bat fighting a clown.
(provided there isn't a large drop in quality of course)

Did your sister like it? Since you said she never likes the movies you take her to lol
While I'm super-happy for Frozen 2's success, I'm still very amused that nobody considers the all-animated Lion King to be the highest grossing animated movie and people keep reporting that Frozen 2 now is.
It'll need another $300 million or so to surpass Lion King. It's weird how just because it doesn't look like a traditional animated film, sites - including boxofficereport.com - don't count it as one when 99.9% of it as animated as Frozen is.

Also, I enjoyed TDKR even if it's cheeseball. Though my opinion on the Nolan trilogy has cooled over the years since it leans really hard into the authoritarian, borderline fascist aspect of the Batman mythos. (I mean, more than the average superhero movie, I guess.)
Universal needs to hurry up and give me a Fast 9 trailer.
It's been nearly 4 years since Justin Lin put out a movie. That's 5 years too long.
