STX potentially hustled its way into staying open for another year.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.
And IT: Chapter 2.
Sequels, man. This is why i get frustrated trying to explain why Endgame being a franchise film (and one basically requiring many films worth of homework) was actually a huge hurdle, not an asset.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?
Pitt is going to be looking pretty gazing at the stars. $100m domestic confirmed.
Sony is gonna be sticking to the Spidey films and Christian Movies from now on.
Think I read the P+A was like $25-30M.$25m domestic on a $6m budget isn't horrible for Ready or Not.
It is already a big success and will be very profitable for WB. It is just a downgrade from the first in almost every metric but theater count and runtime.Why is there gloom about It Chapter 2 like it still won't be a sucess
The problem with IT 2 is that it's 2 hours and 50 minutes of poorly executed tropes and cliches and terribly muddled messaging undercut by an embarassing need to constantly undermine the tension with bad jokes and callbacks.The problem with It 2 is that it's not a big screen Stranger Things movie like the 1st one was.
But was it better than the book?The problem with IT 2 is that it's 2 hours and 50 minutes of poorly executed tropes and cliches and terribly muddled messaging undercut by an embarassing need to constantly undermine the tension with bad jokes and callbacks.
It sounds like someone wasn't brave enough to tell Stephen King they were gonna rewrite the adult part. I'm getting flashbacks to Alita's problems. That movie was so dedicated to being like the source material it replicated the same flaws.
I mean, i enjoyed myself. It's not a movie i really care to see again but I didn't hate it, it was fun.Gonna watch IT Chapter 2 sometime this week. Having rewatched the first last week. Hopefully it'll still be fun, even knowing it's weaker than the first.
Haven't read IT or seen the TV miniseries.
I think it'll be a fun movieSo Charlie's Angels is releasing that single is releasing on Friday. On the two month mark from the movie coming out.
I would hope that means a trailer is coming this week to coincide with the album release.
... I really want that second trailer. I'm just so excited for it.
Yup. TFA was the only sequel ever to be the all time domestic top grosser. And that was just about literally the perfect storm for a sequel. The mega hits over the decades have all been original, as the film that eventually dethrones TFA years from now will be.Sequels, man.

Everyone acts like original films have it harder but they dominate the top BO when adjusted for inflation. They don't demand any prior investment from the audience. Fewer people show up to sequels because a portion of the audience is bound to have either not enjoyed the prior entry or lost interest.

MeSo McAvoy has started in 3 sequels this year that have all critically and financially been worse than their predecessors? Who'd want to be his agent right now?
Hopefully His Dark Materials is a success.
Lol none of those were due to him. He's still a top tier actor.So McAvoy has started in 3 sequels this year that have all critically and financially been worse than their predecessors? Who'd want to be his agent right now?

No but it was definitively a better adaption than the miniseries.
I'd take that job too. Gimme a cut of those paychecks.
I think Joker > It Chapter 2 OW is 100% in play, but It Chapter 1 is well out of reach.buzz for joker feels out of this world right now
then again I'm in Toronto and a lot of that is TIFF hype
I wonder if it beats ITs $123.4m OW
didn't IT have an insane number of views for its trailer or something? joker doesn't have that, but... it's a comic book movie in this golden age of comic book movies, so that should give it a nice bump.
It's turkey time.
And some that people were really excited for turned out bad.A lot of movies that people thought would be bad are turning out to be some of the best movies of the year.
What a crazy year in film.
On one hand the moviegoer in me was like "Ehhh this sucks"I still think King of the Monsters was worth the trip to the theater.
