Well when you put it like that...
But that description also reminds me of Dracula Untold and that was...yeah
A Dog's Way Home was absolute garbage and nearly entirely false advertisement for the actual tone of the movie.
That said the ticket was worth it alone for the laugh I got from the Wilhelm scream.
Honestly the best i'd ever seen, so amazingly out of place and random for this movie.
Me, my brother and his GF were destroyed.

Past years have shown that one musical breaks out and does really successful (La La Land, The Greatest Showman)
Everyone was just expecting Mary Poppins Returns to be that musical and not Bohemian Rhapsody.
I honestly liked that movie. Wasn't high class or anything, but damn if it wasn't well acted, fun, interesting movie
Who didn't? Queen is an internet darling and one of the few dad Bands that are still cool. WB didn't hammer Bohemian Rhapsody into the SS trailers for nothing.
actually, doesn't Danny Boyle have a Beatles movie coming out this year?
Watched Spider-verse a second time.
100% my favourite movie out of 2018.
Top 5 would be: Spider-verse, MI:6, A Quiet Place, Aquaman and Bumblebee.

I call absolute bullshit on anybody who called BR hitting 500 mil much less 750
That supposed deal with Tencent essentially had half the movie's budget already paid for, and it's still making money so good news!
That also shows the importance and growth of the Chinese BO. It has/is becoming a huge monster and something that changes the narrative. Aquaman and Venom would have done okayish-good if China wasn't in the picture. If only studios can negotiate for higher percentage...
I'll be very interested to see how the 4-5 CBM (CM, Shazam, Endgames, FFH, Joker if it gets released) will perform in China and if Aquaman/Venom are the new norm or outliers for CBM BO in China.
My guess is that they will be outliers. Both movies had very good ad campaigns in China; Aquaman with the power Tencent and Venom with the power of good boyfriend Venom.
lol we'll have reached peak "cinematic universe". Leading up to the Beatles and Stones crossover event "I wanna be your man"
I mean the entire trailer makes the movie seem like its a dog having a long "fun" adventure/journey home
in reality
its a damn sad experience from a little in till the very end
Dog racism
Evil capitalists
Bad cops
evil wolves
Bad pet owners
Homeless, old, sad and sick veteran

Venom was also Tencent. So is Bumblebee and that seems to be doing good too, though not exactly setting the world in fire.
Not sure which CBM Tencent will co-produce next. The Endgame will do big numbers in China just like in the rest of the world but I'd say Captain Marvel wouldn't be so big here. Shazam depends on the ad campaign. Wonder how WW 84 will do in 2020 as the first one was co-produced by Tencent but back then they didn't have their marketing game down like now. If Birds of Prey releases in China expect that to be do around Venom numbers, Harley Quinn is super popular here.
If IW made $360m and with the recent success of Aquaman and Venom what would be realistic for Endgame? $400m?
Broly is stronger than Thanos would be more accurate.
Now imagine a Garlic Jr solo movie. Goodbye Avatar, we now have the first 3 billion dollar film.
Bryan Cranston must be sighing heavily into his coffee right now. Hart's homophobic antics have put the film at risk.
The film being a shitty remake of a not great film that was originally going to be distributed by Weinstein put the film at risk.
(Sadly) I doubt that Hart being a jackass plays majorly into its box office.
yeah I was reading ow this film has been in production in some form since 2011, then when it was made it was shelved due to the weinstein mess.
Friendly reminder Charles Martin Smith is also famous for being "guy wearing glasses" from American Graffiti and The Untouchables. Also directed Air Bud.
Didn't realize that Upside was a remake, but now remember seeing long ago a trailer for a foreign movie that was essentially the same plot and totally forgot about.
Sony stays winning wtf.to add to that:
and via BOM:
Holy fuck at the spoilers
what a twist!
I'll admit.
I didn't expect Aquaman to reach a Billion. And it wasn't because of Justice Leagues reception or whatnot.
It was the character of Aquaman. Didn't think they'll be a interest in the character. I did think it was gonna well. Like Suicide Squad numbers.
I was way off. Personally found the film mediocre, but highly entertaining

I think the superhero fatigue argument is nonsense, but I do wonder if there is an advantage with superhero properties having a chance to explore new environments or concepts within the superhero umbrella (Dr. Strange with the trippiness, GoTG with sci-fi, Aquaman with underwater, etc...).
Not for long. Think their next(miss bala) is gonna go the way of proud Mary from last year but I guess it shouldn't affect them too much. An overall great year for Sony anyways
Congrats James Wan! In Aquaman with the rich environments and different kingdoms he introduced us to, he effectively setup a potentially new cinematic universe...within a universe! The Aquaman Universe. Hail to the Fish GAwd.
