Black Panther dethroned from top 10. I think TLK will sit comfortably at #7 when it's done at the box office.
Where is it being called F&F9?I didn't know Hobbs & Shaw was being called "Fast & Furious 9" internationally. What is the actual F&F9 going to be called then? :v
Sorry, my bad. For some reason the app for my local theatre had "Fast & Furious 9" :vWhere is it being called F&F9?
So far all I've seen:
Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
Fast Speed: Super Combo
Now I can hate Bob Iger for singlehandedly killing modern cinema.I figure it has a lot to do with the whole "event movies" thing that has taken over the box office. Ain't no one going to a theatre and dropping $15 a ticket to watch a comedy... unless it's Ant Man or Deadpool.
It's kind of insane how much comedies have fallen off in just 10-15 years in the box office. Like in 2005 Wedding Crashers made over 200 million domestically (almost 300 million adjusted for inflation). And then of course you have the Hangover in 2009, 277 million actual, 334 adjusted. I don't remember the last comedy to reach 100 million that wasn't Crazy Rich Asians.

Blinded by the Light not doing great makes me sad.
People really thought Blind by the light was going to break out?
People seem to think audiences nowadays are going to shell out 10-15 bucks for lowkey slice of life stuff.
These kind of movies are only going to survive in theaters if ticket prices go down.
I dont agree at all. Seeing comedies in a packed theater is nowhere the same experience as seeing it at home.These are things will end up on streaming services, which I think is fine. If a movie is not enhanced by being on a massive screen, does it need to be in a theater? Bridesmaids is just as good at home as it is in the theater, nothing lost. Dunkirk is better on the theater, you lose the spectacle at home
Bad example, maybe "a few good men" would be a better one. Regardless, I stick by my pointI dont agree at all. Seeing comedies in a packed theater is nowhere the same experience as seeing it at home.
WB paid $15M for the film at Sundance to open it in wide release, which like never happens for Sundance films. It's an uplifting movie with an anti-xenophobia message and the music of one of the country's most popular artists—seems pretty relevant. (Maybe you shouldn't open things wide these days.)People really thought Blind by the light was going to break out?
LmfaooJust got out from Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark.
Like 45 minutes into the movie a group of people came in all males in their 20s and immediately started talking loudly.They obviously snuck in or something. But my fellow audience members put a stop top it right away after about 1 minute. It was almost a full theatre. A big muscle bound dude who had to be about 6'3 280 lbs solid stood up and told them to shut the fuck up. They did, and then 30 seconds later all left the theatre and never came back.
The movie itself was just okay. Was let down they showed every single creature in the trailer and there was no surprises. It was a very predictable film with no surprises and no real stand out scenes other than the designs themselves. In kind of shocked at how high the reviews are to be honest.
6/10
This was totally unintentional, but sending a movie starring and written by women to streaming and sending a film starring and written by men to theaters not a great precedent. (Also literally what Netflix is apparently doing—The Irishman is supposedly the first film they are going to give a 2500-screen wide release for.)These are things will end up on streaming services, which I think is fine. If a movie is not enhanced by being on a massive screen, does it need to be in a theater? Bridesmaids is just as good at home as it is in the theater, nothing lost. Dunkirk is better on the theater, you lose the spectacle at home
