I don't expect them to be 100% faithful, but it honestly isn't that hard to be more faithful than the Fox X-Men movies were. Imo I don't really see a reality where the X-men are less faithful than they were in the Fox movies, but we'll see in good time
I already got my tickets. AMC A-List. Bought them a week ago and they still have listings.
Rbg wins. Cap next.
From the MTV Movie and TV Awards. What a list
Speaking of UNTITLED MUSICAL EVENT, did anyone end up snagging the rights to the theatrical Hamilton release?
Late-reply but when I think a "bomb", I think of something that loses a large amount of money. To me, for it to be a bomb it would have to make less than 350m (if we go off the reported 200M budget) whereas anything between 350-400 WW would be just a disappointment. Idk, I really think China is going to save this movie similar to Venom.
I never was taken out of experience by rocket or thanos. I never thought them like cg while i was watching. Same with all planet of the apes movie ( newnonce) In avatar all i can think of plastic skins and cg.
I should't use the word "bomb" since it's so loaded. Let's just say that I think people are going to talk about how bad the BO performance was for a while. I really think that the stink of the last movie plus knowing the world involved is over will kill it.
The theater I was in yesterday has officially started using the scene from Dark Phoenix where
as their gag "please turn off your phones scene, edited to the terrible drama gets interrupted by a phone going off.
Jean is about to kill Mystique
Gotcha, it's certainly going to be interesting. For all its faults, i'm going to miss this version of the X-men since it was my first real introduction to superheroes as a kid.
I was an X-Men fan since my tweens and when these movies hit, even with flaws, I was over the moon. X1 was so-so, but X2 remains one of my favorite superhero movies.
Some of the movies have been absolutely horrible, but there have also been great ones. I will certainly miss this world. I personally don't think the benefits of being in the MCU universe outweigh the benefits of being off on their own. But I cannot argue that Marvel Studios will hold them to a higher standard of quality.
I missed the train on responding to this tangent, but I agree with this and your last few posts. I do wish we had gotten that X—23 follow up, Gambit, Alpha Flight, etc. It's a shame because we very likely won't if not for a long time, and not in the tones that Fox might have done. Obviously the overall quality of the films will go up as a result.
One of these things is not like the other

Mendelson is confirming the Endgame numbers:

She was champ at the time IIRC. Wrestlemania is a blur. Also she is a very good wrestler. She should never speak on mic again but she's fantastic in the ring.
Hell yeah, watching JW1 and JW2 right now to get ready to see it tomorrow!
But when will we get blessed with more acting like her Oscar caliber performance in Furious 7?
Hope Pika does a bit better, I want it to beat 100m by the end of next weekend.
There's been a grand total of 1 day where Endgame has failed to outperform Infinity War at the same point in time, how about we wait a couple more weekends before busting out the champagne, hmm?

I actually think JW3 has a genuine shot of going over $55m this weekend. Sub 50% would be amazing for Endgame.
Eventually people will realise you can't compare Endgame's legs to anything else. When something opens to 357/1.2b in the future, then it's legs can be compared to Endgame's.
I'll see what?
It's ridiculous to say it's "Doing worse" because it underperfomed IW by less than 300k on one day in its 3rd week.
Saw the people at Box Office forums talking about how good the pre-sales were for this movie at their theater. Glad to see they were right and hope that extends for Godzilla as well considering from what I heard from them
So, if Endgame misses TFA domestic and Avatar worldwide, I wonder when those two will be beat? Maybe Avengers 5, in a few years?
Endgame is not missing Avatar's worldwide record. It's coming for the throne.
OK, when do you think the TFA record will fall? I don't see anything having a chance until Avengers 5. Maybe Lion king?
I remember thinking that releasing John Wick 3 in May was a mistake. Good to see I was wrong.
Don't think any studio has it yet. But Warner Bros is adapting Miranda's other musical In The Heights next year so I'm assuming they'd be the front runners for Hamilton if it's a success.
I truly don't know. Once Disney let's Marvel Studios use the holiday season date? Honestly, it might not be that hard five years from now. I doubt either A2 or the new SW trilogies are the ones doing it tho.
People need to stop underplaying the power of rotten tomatoes for blockbusters.
The Rise of Skywalker
I'd say the only thing that's got a chance now that Endgame failed is Avatar 2, but even that's incredibly unlikely
Oh wow I was not expecting numbers like this for John Wick 3. That's quite a great box-office trajectory this series has had.
I was not a fan of where they went with 2 in terms of story as I preferred the simplicity of the original but I'm happy to see that people are excited for a new Keanu Reeves action movie in 2019. There's something comforting about that, lol.

I thought I was being optimistic for JW3 at $40m as I was expecting it to land between $30m-$40m. Tracking for $55m is amazing.
A -49% would be impressive for Detective Pikachu. It is true that its first two days are promising.
If it does happen, then it should have good/great legs.
