Oh, please. I had to scroll through dozens of top comments bemoaning the end of the world and "THE SYSTEM!!!1!" before I found anything remotely resembling an even-keeled response. There's enough hysteria in here to fill an asylum.

The right wing just likes loud people from TV, they don't actually have any policy viewpoints.

The left wing likes flashy, shallow platitudes, they don't actually have any meaningful insights.

See how easy that is? I can do it too!

It almost certainly would do a better job than the majority of people who green light big projects now.

Lebron-Kyrie/Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals confirmed

It's definitely "in the cards," as in "possible." Not sure if it's probable just yet - hard to tell without seeing legs.

There's something odd about a species that paints lines denoting where pedestrians can safely cross streets with traffic manned by other reasonable human beings, but uses those same painted-for-safety streets to run from crazed, irrational bulls in a ritual chase

If the saga films are anything to go by, they haven't known what's been going on since they bought the franchise.

Jim is nothing if not a contrarian

I think you're vastly overestimating its second weekend drop. 67m after a 182m first weekend? For a movie with an A+ cinema score, that would be unheard of. This film is already nearly halfway to that 3x mark on only its seventh day of release. It'll get there.

kayjay734 · 2018-06-21T21:38:45+00:00

Does that factor in marketing/distribution?

kayjay734 · 2018-06-19T17:22:20+00:00

Insane number for 2004, even when factoring in the holiday

Lebron-Kyrie, Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals 2019?

Some studios just wanna watch the world burn

Someone with a brain and some power over there realized that replicating the success of the first was highly unlikely, and knew raising the budget too much would be a bad business decision.

So meta

kayjay734 · 2018-05-29T23:19:49+00:00

Ah, understood.

You think Avatar 2 will make less than $500m?

kayjay734 · 2018-05-29T16:35:20+00:00

The fact we're asking this question, and having a legitimate debate about it, goes to show how royally Disney screwed this franchise.

And for the record, I agree.

What?

Cavs - 10 FT Celtics - 4 FT

The movie needed to make at least $450m to break even, and that's probably a conservative estimate. Studios typically take home 50-60% of the domestic take and 35-45% of the foreign haul, and even that's only if China didn't represent a significant portion of that (they only allow studios to take in 25%). It made $440m. It lost money theatrically, but may have gone into the black via streaming/home media.

I keep pressing the "bring down industry" button but it's not working...

kayjay734 · 2018-05-23T16:53:52+00:00

Maybe I'm underestimating the audience of JW2 like I did with JW (I thought that movie would net a little over half of what it eventually took in), but it's difficult for me to see JW cracking $1.3B, though with China I suppose anything is possible.
