How would you feel about Steve
being teleported/rescued out of the plane by the Green Lantern Corps and put into stasis due to his injuries (to explain why he's still young in the present day) and he's trained to become a Lantern. AND THEN it's revealed that Steve Trevor was his code name and his actual name is HAL JORDAN! (too far?).
I'd watch that movie. Why not?

Is Jake Gyllenhaal a big gamer in real life or something? I'm just surprised to see him attached to another video game film when he already was in Prince of Persia (which is underrated. I thought it was a fun flick)

I think even if actuals fudging is found to have happened by Monday (which is, I think, for a lot of regions a holiday, so numbers should be up) I don't know that Diana can close that gap and pass Optimus on the left.

Baby Driver made $27 million this week, the best opening an Edgar Wright movie has ever had, and 4 million short of breaking his record of the highest total gross he's ever had ($31 million for Scott Pilgrim)
It's a weird feeling to be happy about something like this but about time this dude got some success at the box office.
Hooray! Good film getting some love. Get as much money as you can Baby, cause Spidey, Apes, and Dunkirk are coming for you.

He might make it to $60!
Question is whether the film starts picking up word of mouth amongs THE YOUTHS

Doubt it, it's the money.
No reason why it wouldn't imo. Wright built up some hipster cred after Scott Pilgrim.

Will be seeing Baby Driver tomorrow. The cinema I go to has it on their biggest screen with Dolby Atmos until Spidey takes it on Friday (tho it releases Wednesday).

I've been hitting people trying to see Baby Driver at my local theater with a chop block

I'm probably seeing it at The Grove tomorrow or tonight.

Shaun of the Dead must have just come out at the wrong time or something. That's easily a $40m+ domestic movie in today's climate.

You're just mad both Baby and an actual baby can see over the steering wheel but you can't

It hit right around the time that early 2000s zombie renaissance was starting to seriously take off.
I think it was just that nobody knew who was in it, it was British, and I don't think it was in a lot of theaters.

Is there a chance transformers wont make more than $600 million?

Well, they sure know what it is now. No doubt it's made more than $13m on DVD sales/rentals.
It came out under Universal's Focus Features label, which is their specialty release outfit. I guess being a British film counts as a foreign film, or something?

The Despicable Me franchise is going to end up answering the question of "What would have happened if Dreamworks made a Shrek 5?"
I feel like Pirates 5 is the only sequel to a poorly received film that's actually beaten my week-of-release predictions.

47 Meters Down with the best hold of the weekend.
That's pretty crazy how this thing is trucking along. I can't imagine the budget was very big at all so the studio must be pretty happy with this performance

Not a big enough drop for that to go from 1B to 600m. Then again, Alice 2 did much worse. But that was neither a franchise nor relatively devoid of equivalent competition. Until Spider-Man and Valerian release, there's not really another 200m action movie around to take its lunch money.
Though originally I thought that TF5 would do that the legs of Wonder Woman, and that did not happen at all. Nor with Pirates 5, a movie we've already forgotten it was even in cinemas recently.
And of course, Are You My Mummy? I think it's dead though.
God no. I want those anti-shark movies to go to hell already. And for Hollywood to stop recycling the same bullshit setups too.
Sharks are basically extinct at this point, yet Hollywood is still pretending they're a thing and that global warming isn't happening. Seriously, the only movie I've ever seen a serious shot in of the effects of global warming is A.I. back in 2002, which of course had to be a partial Kubrick movie because that's about the only person in Hollywood who understood basic science.
This is killing me.
