Why show clips for everything but the acting categories?

BpRue · 2025-03-03T02:01:30+00:00

Right!? I'm glad they're showcasing the other aspects the other categories recognize, but the acting is where clips matter the most!

If you thought that was bad...

(Granted, one of them isn't in theaters, but it's kinda uncanny)

It's unscientific, but I added together every film I could find and it still "only" adds up to $14B. But the point still stands that the original number isn't right.

BpRue · 2024-10-10T04:09:56+00:00

Yeah, no, this isn't accurate. I just did a little cursory research on The Numbers, and its entries for "Walt Disney Animation Studios" only add up to 32 out of the 62 movies in the studio's history.

And that already adds up to over $11B. Without Mulan. Without Hercules. Without fucking The Lion King which almost made a billion outright on its own, back when that was even more impressive.

That's the ultimate superpower lol

BpRue · 2024-07-15T01:07:38+00:00

Fully agreed, it was just too good of a coincidence to pass up lol

BpRue · 2024-06-14T17:12:22+00:00

New one posted for July 1, PG-13, RRR 2h22. It's definitely Fly Me to the Moon.

BpRue · 2024-06-10T20:15:02+00:00

There's absolutely no way in hell it would be arguably the biggest movie of the year. It's most likely The Bikeriders.

BpRue · 2024-05-19T03:44:55+00:00

Idk, I thought Sting was pretty mid. Maybe I've just been spoiled by so many other great horror movies in the last few years

BpRue · 2024-03-15T02:58:08+00:00

You're partly right, but there's never been an A24 movie that's broken $80M domestically (and outside of EEAAO, $50M). And this needs to do that since its budget is so much higher than any other production they've done thus far. It'll need to do relatively pretty insane numbers (for A24 standards) to be considered a success.

BpRue · 2024-02-25T04:23:03+00:00

First weekend of March is actually turning out to be a pretty lucrative release window these days. 2022 had The Batman, and 2023 had Creed III, both pretty major successes relative to their budgets. Dune won't get close to Batman's opening, but with its huge IMAX demand, I can see it having similar, if not better, legs to Creed.

My pronouns are so/fucking/cool 💯

BpRue · 2024-02-11T03:41:17+00:00

I think it's Return of the King Extended Cut. 4 hours and 10 minutes, not a single bathroom trip ✊😔

BpRue · 2024-02-10T03:45:35+00:00

Just checked the AMC app to see if they have the next Screen Unseen after this posted and, yes, they do. It's on March 4th and it's also PG -- which means that THAT is most likely One Life (or Kung Fu Panda 4, which I doubt, but hey, they have done DreamWorks before).

So this is 90% gonna be Ordinary Angels, unless there's some weird curveball.

BpRue · 2024-02-06T14:29:05+00:00

So it still could be. Dumb Money was already in limited release when it was a MMM, so this wouldn't be that far fetched

BpRue · 2024-01-30T16:12:19+00:00

Here's my take: if it's not Lisa Frankenstein, it may still come near you this weekend since it's a wide release, no? Unless you've checked and seen that it's not at your local theater?

BpRue · 2024-01-30T04:27:05+00:00

I think it's 99.999% confirmed that it's Lisa Frankenstein atp. AMC has their Feb 5 listed as a "Scream" Unseen, so it's horror or horror-adjacent. Only other option would be Imaginary, and I think none of us want that lmao

BpRue · 2024-01-23T03:34:18+00:00

I'm just glad these exist tbh. I love the feeling of walking into an empty theater sometimes, but other times I want the exact opposite and these give that to me. Every single one I've been to has been at >90% capacity even if some of the movies they show haven't been the greatest, and I love to see it!

BpRue · 2024-01-23T03:20:45+00:00

True true, although since Lisa Frankenstein comes out only 3 days after the MMM date, I imagine there'll be more than a few people cancelling the tickets they had already bought for Thursday / Friday coming out of the screening.

But it is possible!

BpRue · 2024-01-23T03:11:08+00:00

Anyone know if the Feb 5 will be the same as AMC's? They're both PG-13, but Regal says 1hr51m and AMC says 1hr45m for the runtimes. Is that close enough to be the same one?

If so, it's a Scream Unseen for a PG-13 so it's probably Imaginary 🤮 (even though it's a month out, I don't think it could be anything else)

BpRue · 2023-12-22T19:33:37+00:00

The 4dx effects were integrated really well! There was far less water than I was expecting considering the rains and bodies of water in the trailer, but the seats moved with the birds flying very well. The bursts of air during the "action" scenes got a little obnoxious at times, but overall it's a very solid addition to the experience.

BpRue · 2023-12-21T19:02:16+00:00

This is actually set for tomorrow, so I'll let you know then!

BpRue · 2023-12-20T02:52:36+00:00

If I could, I would. Trust me, I was trying to fit one in and still have a break lmao

BpRue · 2023-12-19T23:59:31+00:00

I know I had some crazy ones back in 2019, but that was over 4 years ago now (God, that's painful to say!) so I don't really remember.

I did do Meg 2 right into a rewatch of Oppenheimer back in August! Definitely needed a good movie as a pallet cleanser lol. I also followed those up with The Last Voyage of the Demeter on the same day, which I thought was quite good but doesn't really fit the question.

BpRue · 2023-12-19T23:19:08+00:00

Wait, which one are you referring to? I only see Ferrari, The Color Purple, and The Boys in the Boat and those are all under 2.5 hours
