China has truly the strangest Box Office out there. Just so random.
Yeah I don't even mean the whole Geostorm vs Blade Runner. Just in general. Stuff like Geostorm, Resident Evil, etc just sometimes randomly perform really well there.
It's hard to predict it's box office because it doesn't really follow patterns anywhere else does at times
They are probably showing up mostly for the spectacle. The more wordy and less visual focused a movie is the more than can get lost in translation not just in the words to words sense but culturally.
They're dumb, jingoistic American meathead action movies. Gerard stabs more people than Michael Myers and gets thirsty as fuck. So, yes. They're great.
Nothing happened to Gerard Butler.
If he had made a good movie though, then we would be truly wondering what happened.
We'll always have Reign of Fire.
Also, when he's allowed to actually have some damn fun he's actually amusing to watch, like Gods of Egypt.

So many ResetEra things to keep up with that i just now caught up to the thread. Missed the prediction by a bit, RIP.
But if i had to take a guess i would say:
Thor: $108.4m
JL: $145.6m

Reign of Fire
300
Olympus Has Fallen
London Has Fallen
Geostorm
Gerard Butler is a treasure.

I like Olympus has Fallen fairly well. It was a lesser Die Hard in an era when we don't really see a lot of movies like that. London has Fallen was awful, however - jingoistic, racist, dumb, and not very exciting either.
Olympus Has Fallen is so stupid and bad that it is enjoyable. I mean, there's a scene where
If there is one major problem with the movie, it is
the bad guys beat up Melissa Leo and drag her out of a room all the while she's reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
they set up that the President knows how to box, but he doesn't defeat the bad guy by boxing him to death. Instead, it is just a generic death.
He chewed so much scenery in that movie I just couldn't help but smile. Best bad movie of the last decade.
Had to google Stephen Doriff, only movie I seen with him was Space Truckers.
I love how utterly unpredictable China's boxoffice is.
Do we know how BR did in Japan yet? (not that it will save it)
thoughts on ragnaroks final total?
i just think JL will cut it a bit, and it doesn't have the homecoming luxury of 6 weeks summer holidays across the us and europe to give it legs
marvel should have really pulled it forward a week or two. JL has a month before jedi
if it sneaks over 800 it will have done really well

It kills me Thor wasn't a simultaneous global release.
Gods of Egypt was like 18 months ago. That is what I was referring to.

Based on his posts post-exodus he seemed kind of oblivious that the entire BO community left and said he is going to keep posting his topics there. I really don't get the impression he fully understands what happened or where people went and doesn't seem to care enough to look into it. Oh well.
Reign of Fire was one of those movies during the height of mid-00's DVD collecting mania that everyone seemed to own but no one seemed to like.
Why is the Chinese trailer better than the US one . Also I noticed that the cgi for cyborg has been improved in the tv spots vs trailer which I assume is the final version . The tv spots show a more brushed metal look vs shiny look in the trailers
It's still the worst cg of the group and movie
I'd be shocked if it made 4. It'll top out at 3.5 if it's lucky.
There's just no hook and nothing to recommend about the movie. It exists in a vacuum of nothingness.
Under $5m for a George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Julianne Moore movie is crazy! I saw the movie and it was utterly forgettable and not great but you'd think those 3 would get some butts in seats. I'm not sure anything could have saved the movie but the trailer also implies a movie that is quite different from what the story actually is.
Horror really seems to be the most reliable movie genre nowadays, doesn't it...
I wonder how It will do this week, a lot of the theaters around me are putting it into the best theaters for that Halloween bump.
After 3 months of moviepass'ing now I feel sorta movie'd out, I've been going 2x a week and pretty much seen everything and don't feel like watching those random "not sure if I will like this" movies anymore.

Oh my god, died when Morgan Freeman said "a lot of people died for no good reason."

One thing that I disliked about box office threads on GAF is that the old ones were never locked, causing Sunday afternoon posts to be lost in the wrong thread. So I will be locking these weekly when the new thread goes up.
