Watched Whiplash today for the first time since it was in the cinemas and it is as tense as it was back then. Great performance by Simmons, Teller was great, too.
Also watched To the Bone. It's okay. Keanu Reeves as doctor is such a dumb casting choice.

I haven't seen it, but it can't be worse than Denise Richards as a world renowned physicist.

His role is not that big, but it sticks out.

Suburban Chicago is about 11 for regular ticket and 16 for fake IMAX. There's IMAX with Laser at Navy Pier, and I know that's over $20, but not how much over.
In Toronto:
General Admission 2D: $13.25
Ultra AVX (Reserved Seating): $16.25
IMAX (Reserved Seating): $20.25
I almost always watch in Ultra AVX because there's more leg room for them than there is for Imax.

Is the scotiabank theatre mega escalator still out? Both directions last time I heard, elevator was the only option. That's kept me away from the place and not sure if they got that fixed yet.
I want gunslinger to make money so they make a sequel but the movie was so bad it really doesn't deserve to make a dime. As someone who has read the books the movie is totally offensive. My gf who hasn't read the books thought the movie was fine. I just can't help but feel like the movie was the absolute worst take possible on the gunslinger series. A complete bastardization of source material.
Ireland:
5.50
That's for 2D or 3D, in the largest and most comfortable seating I've ever experienced in a cinema.
No premium format nearby, can't speak to that.
MoviePass. Standard prices at the Regal in Atlanta I frequent are $12-15 for the standard viewing. I've never cared for 3D and will gladly paid the price of admission for Dunkirk in IMAX 70mm or any other good movies that are filmed primarily with IMAX cameras. I've been seeing 3-4 movies a week, but that's partly because it's only a 5 minute walk.
Can it crack a billion?
Feel like I should move to Ireland!
Glad to see LA gets boned like us, but yeah... sigh
Maybe I'll look into MoviePass, but don't think Alamo accepts it yet
Maybe. It will get very close. Somewhere over $950M.

Logan Lucky has 100% on RT thus far.
I made a review thread weeks back that I will resurrect next week when the bulk of the reviews start pouring in. The average is pretty high as well. Should be a fun film.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
And with a decent amount of reviews in too. Not bad for a supposed first time screen writer.
I might watch it on a matinee. Trailers did nothing for me.
ASM & ASM2 both cracked 700M as well. And those films were turrible too.
I agree, critics are just mean to Kevin hart

I swear I saw trailers for this like a fucking year ago. How is it just now coming out?
I hate when movies do this. Because half the time I think the movie came out already.

After opening weekend it was already booted from my local 12 screen Cinemark theater.

Still strange to me how horror movies are such safe bets.
Next week, The Conjuring series (including both Annabelle films) becomes the first horror franchise to break $1B worldwide. Annabelle 2 opened to about $70M worldwide, bringing the franchise total to a bit under $970M.
Depends.
AMC theaters are typically the 10 bucks a pop.
But Cinemark typically are 7-8 full priced, and less than 5 most of the time.
Same is for Imax though.

I think getting scared with a group of people in a theater is a communal experience that people enjoy.
That and horror is a rush. People like having a safe scare.

Plus horror movies are great date movies.
Horror movies still the best dollar-for-dollar investment around.

With a combined budget right around $80M.
For a filmmaker trying to break in the Biz it's also the cheapest and most creative. You can basically make any situation a horror film.
It's not driven by special effects or name actors.
The guy who made this movie broke in the Biz on a 2 minute simple YouTube short.
Is the Wonder done?

Horror can be done incredibly well for super cheap,
it can easily work in both quality or camp/cheese
it has a relatively wide enough appeal.
And seems like the average person just enjoys a horror movie every now and then.
I know I do and I don't actually get scared or anything, its just fun.

Wonder Woman dropped 36% to $1.5M, but knocked Transformers 2 out of the domestic Top 25.
Baby Driver hit $100M this weekend.

They were up pretty early actually.
$402.2m total.
This. Horror movies are typically the one sort of movie where I enjoy see people screaming, shouting, etc.
As long as Wondy takes down the Spider before it goes, I'm happy.

Certainly made that Elm Street reboot more memorable and enjoyable.
It's finally tracking ahead of Spider-Man launch aligned.
Spidey was at $402.0m after it's 11th weekend, Wondy at $402.2m.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Wonder Woman is the biggest success of 2017, considering the uphill battle it had to climb.
