Get Jim Caviezel to reprise his role as Jesus in Venom 2
Box office discussion has been pretty slow lately. I don't know if I should anticipate or dread the influx of discussion that will come from Joker.
It's a pretty slow month until 9/20, when Downton Abbey, Ad Astra and Rambo: Last Blood come out, which could generate a lot of talk (especially in the case of Ad Astra), but yeah, it's hard not to think that most theaters are waiting for Joker to come out.
I didnt like how the Rambo trailer used old town road but only Billy ray cyrus voice like it was his song.
Everything can't be the greatness that was Avatar's run. Those threads were LEGENDARY at the old place.
It could just be me, but it doesn't really feel like a good time to put out anything cartel-related in theaters. Not that I don't think it doesn't have a built-in audience, but I don't think there's much appeal right now for someone mowing down Mexicans, even if they are the bad guys and it is Sylvester Stallone doing the mowing. Just seems like it's in bad taste, even if it's not trying to be.
It 2 opened at 400+ more theaters than the previous one but made $90m+ could it have been the reviews, it'd length that hurt it or a combo of the two?
It is a monster out of the gate in the height of Stranger Thing, its pretty hard for Chapter Two without the cute kids to surpass it and especially for horror movie. I expect the same for Halloween sequels. Long run time will ruin its legs not opening.
But its still the second best opening ww for horror movie I hope no one complaining. It could make big numbers in the end if China dont ban R rated movies (this will hurt Joker and Birds of Prey too)
If you're wondering why I'm quiet this week, it's because the only positives I have to say/good films I acknowledge on the top 11 are literally just Ready Or Not and Scary Stories ⚰
Watch Ready Or Not if you haven't yet

I think the trailers alone are gonna hurt the movie. It doesn't look like a Rambo film, and every scene in the new trailers takes place around a farm house. It just seems like a really boring looking man defends his home movie really, after how bombastic and crazy the last movies were.
The marketing is weird, I get the vibe the movie is mostly Brad Pitt looking wistfully out into space. It will be this generation's Contact
Downton Abbey is going to murder Ad Astra. It will probably bomb. Critics who saw it at VIFF thought it might not be the most audience accessible movie even though they thought it was great.
I can't imagine it might upset audiences more than High Life.
High Life rules.

They would've needed to film the 2 straight back to back for your timeline
The marketing I've seen of it seems to say "Y'all saw Gravity and Interstellar right? Please sir I have kids to feed"
Will whoever makes the thread make it very Downton Abbey? I will consult about humor and entendres.
I liked Contact until the ending
Are you saying they are better than Micheal J Fox?
I'd say worldwide? Not that shocked by the domestic. It has done well worldwide. They knew their audience. Question is enough for a sequel? It's certainly profitable but you know.
I thought It Chapter 2 was decent...not a patch on the first part. Kind of like the original mini-series in that regard. I wonder if the length will put people off, or if word of mouth will dent it a little. For me there was too much loud, bang and crash spectacle and not enough of the smaller, more intimate scenes. The best scene in it is a smaller, more intimate scene...just Pennywise and a little girl under the bleachers. Wish there was more like that really.
It's definitely getting a sequel and they'll remain split until Rock and Diesel squash their beef.
Crawl is one of those movies you have to admire if only because it does everything it needs to and does it as well as you could want it to. Folks came in wanting some killer gators and some rad set pieces on a low budget that never once betrays the quality of everything else, and that's exactly what you get.
I wish it was as good as Contact.
Anyway, Contact seems to have been a minor success at least.
Crawl was really fun. Stupid, took itself just seriously enough, lean, and efficient. Not a moment wasted in it.
God I fucking love Arrival. It was the first movie I saw in a theater after Trump was elected.
I cried so hard when the credits came. Beautiful beautiful movie.

No, because by the time Contact happened Jodie Foster already had two Oscar wins.
I think she will eventually get one, but her win percentage aint looking too hot.
I think at I am rooting super hard for Doctor Sleep.
I need one Stephen King adaptation to be great this year. PLEASE.

I just need Doctor Sleep to not be the worst movie I've sen this year with a Shining reference or that features Rebecca Ferguson. Hello the Fanatic and MIB.
Outside of IT 2 this week kinda sucked for movies people were looking forward to, but Hustlers is going to be an interesting one to watch. TIFF reviews are really really positive and it could break out in a dead zone of the calendar.
