PERFECT
I imagine he'll show up in WW during the present day bookends ala Nick Fury in Cap 1
Saw Sing opening weekend (free T-Mobile tickets) then saw Moana last weekend.
I feel like this is the minority. But my family and I had a lot more fun with Sing than Moana.
It's not that Moana is worst than Sing. I just think that Sing is more comedic which appeal more to my family and I than Moana did with some of it heavy moments. I love both though, but Sing was certainly a nice surprise considering how much GAF been bashing it.
My mom want to see Sing again once it come out on Blu-ray and she's not the type of person who would see a movie again.

I can't believe A Monster Calls is doing this poorly. Like, did the studio just decide to actively sabotage it, not market it, or...?
I mean, I get that Schlock 5: the schlockening is more appealing for watching a dumb movie in Fuck You, It's January, but still.
Probably the same reason a really bad thing is 'beating' (2.0m fridays isn't exactly losing) Affleck's movie. Though I'll admit I saw the trailer and gained little interest in seeing it either.
You know what they should have released this January? X-Men: Age of Schlockclown.
btw, Sculli is already back, but Bobby isn't. Seems a bit eh... unfair. :\
Well, there goes the "predict the biggest flop" thread. Flip that magazine rack, y'all.
I'm not *that* surprised by it though.

I'm not shocked... first it was due for release in like, July? Then October...then Christmas (except the trailers still said October, even in December), then Christmas was one of those "it's only in one theatre" releases, then with zero fanfare, it was out January 6 or something. And still only released in a limited capacity in my area so I'm sure it's the same elsewhere.
If I hadn't been following it, I would have had no idea.
It makes me sad because it's a beautiful movie, beautiful book, I wish it would have not been thrown out to die.

Affleck, bro. How you going to get clowned by the Bye-Bye Man and Monster Trucks?

Bobby said his ban was 2 weeks, so unless that changed, he should get his posting privileges back in a few hours. I'm pretty sure he got banned during new years eve.
Rogue One is heading for a drop over 70% this weekend in China. It is currently at $50M. It might not make it past $60M.
Alice 2 made $59M in China. Independence Day Resurgence made $75M. Now you See Me 2 made $97M.
Domestically, all of those films put together made less than half of Rogue One did.
Passengers ended up not bombing in China. It should finish the weekend with a decent, but not amazing $15-16M.
Hacksaw Ridge is wrapping up its run with $59M in China.

That Kong trailer was so depressing, especially coming off the horror vibes of the teaser.

Yeah, I think the tone of the trailer and presumably the film is going to be a big mistake. Especially considering how Godzilla's marketing was so effective.

I'm seriously hoping the new "It" is good. Just read the novel last fall and it's due for a fresh adaptation.
I gave up on it when WB chased Cary Fukunaga off the project.

the cover ehm ... "design" screams generic though. The Curry one is scary (well, then) and straight to the point.
also, one of the production companies made The Boy...
and Poltergeist...
and other cheap crap.
and the combined budget for two parts (??) is 35 million. I expect little from it.
Wow! So Hidden Figures actually edged out Rogue One for No. 1. Nice
Box Office Mojo
I've told almost everyone I know about it (just like everyone I know who has seen the movie, lol). Should have some good word of mouth.

truly, the darkest timeline
Okay so I get China really doesn't care for Star Wars but how is it going to get beaten by Independendys Day Resurgence? It's not like China could have seen/loved the original film.

IDR has got a chinese character or two I believe
Rogue One vs The Dark Knight has been an interesting race.
The Dark Knight was ahead almost every day of the first 9 days of each film's run, eventually reaching a maximum lead of $30M on Day 9 (X-Mas Eve for Rogue One).
Then the holidays kicked in, and Rogue One was massively ahead almost every day (except New Years Eve), until Day 19 (Jan 3rd for Rogue One). By that point, Rogue One had a maximum lead of $41M.
Since Jan 4th, The Dark Knight has won every single day, narrowing the gap to less than $29M as of yesterday.

Geez, Rogue One dropping hard last couple of weeks and making a wet fart in China. I didn't see that coming.
And not even Batman can escape Fuck You, It's January.

So, what you're saying is that it is an Underworld movie?
Perfection.

Underworld has always been poor man's Resident Evil, which itself was poor man's... I dunno, something. At least RE movies are kinda fun. UW was only worth watching for Bill Nighy hamming it up and he ded.
Haven't seen Blood Wars, but Awakening was so bad I couldn't even finish it. An hour of Kate Beckinsale crying about her boring dead lover was more than I could handle.
So does Rogue One.
But IDR is complete garbage, so that might explain why it did so much better there.
Kidding. Kind of.
The best kind of Underworld.
Too be fair it seems that most people like Affleck as Batman. Batman and Alfred were the highlights of BvS. That can only mean WB needs to cut the fat and just give us Batman films. I like it when Batman ignores Superman and acts like he doesn't exist.

China eats that stuff up.
Donnie Yen?
I remember a year or so ago people were saying R1 was actually going to outperform TFA in China because of his inclusion.
How is that any different than Rogue One?

Weird, I recall the trailer hype for Live By Night was off the charts.
Is there some kind of curse with prohibition-era America breeding bad films?

That's why Underworld 3 was the best movie in the franchise. Despite the fact it's a Prequel thus you knew the ending it had plenty of Bill Nighy hamming it up and the werewolf dude and knock off Beckinsale had a more ineresting dynamic the Kate character and Michael who you really wondering during the entire franchise why they're even together. Helps that Werewolf dude isn't as boring a plank of wood and knock off kate is a reasonable copy.
What hype? The trailer was mocked mostly online.
It isn't easy to predict how Rogue One will end in China as its release will go into the Chinese New Year period, which normally does not have foreign films (but its hard to say how many screens it will get). It also seems likely that it will get a second month, like they seem to do for many foreign films these days.
Hacksaw Ridge was extended for a second month. It has 3 more weeks or so.
That's disappointing. Moana deserves so much better.

1: WHERE IS BOBBY
2: Live by Night looked gud visually
3: YOU ALL FAILED ME ON MOANA

I'm pretty sure those two last films don't belong in the same category, lol.

You're right, Suicide Squad had more well developed characters. (lol SS is worse, but I disliked both films)
I think, objectively, it's pretty easy to determine that one is far worse than the other, lol..
Sheez. That's a huge budget.
Problem I'm having is every theater near me have only two showing time. Weekdays 1.
Really. I thought it looked great.
