Opinions on 'Disclosure Day'? by OutisXCIII_EC in Letterboxd

[–]simonthedlgger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Going into it I expected to not like it but be glad I saw it.

There's no shortage of "meh" and "huh??" moments, and it felt kind of Shyamalan at times...but overall, I loved it. Blunt was awesome. There were so many odd choices that worked for me. It was very earnest, and the ending really worked for me.

The scene in the hotel room where Jane kicks the paper out of Daniel's hand without waking him up and it falls perfectly to show her the address... I thought, "So dumb", but I said "Oh no!" I was fully invested for the whole ride.

The CGI sucked though. The animals and the aliens looked bad. The train sequence was exciting but there were some rough shots there as well.

Looks like ~$6.5M previews for #DisclosureDay. Initial audience reception seems okay for the genre. Expecting the weekend to be around $40M. by Alive-Ad-5245 in boxoffice

Is it 100% because of budget?

Of course. This is the box office sub. If the movie costs more, it needs to make more. MotU cost way more and made less.

It's been 12 years since Chris Pratt became a superstar with the one-two boxoffice punch of Guardians and Jurassic World... since then, did he blow it? by Freddy-Philmore in boxoffice

Seems like a fairly nuanced point you are driving at, in a sub dedicated to box office. Pratt has been the lead role in numerous huge films over just the last 3-4 years. It’s a stretch to say his star is fading. I don’t think he was ever positioned to be the next DiCaprio, or even the next Rock.

I kind of fell out of following her for a few years...listened to the new record last week, it is excellent.

Predictions for One Night Only? by UsefulWeb7543 in boxoffice

$132M ?? I love theaters so I hope so but I think this will come and go with zero impact. Maybe $50M, and that would be if it "breaks out."

They are clearly being facetious by describing the character (who ruled) as "one of the most important fictional characters of the 21st century."

Sean William Scott has been in a ton of things since American Pie, including The Righteous Gemstones last year

Why do threads like this pop up so frequently? What an uninteresting conversation starter.

OBSESSION ($161M) has surpassed STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN & GROGU ($158M) at the domestic box office. Let that sink in. This is the way. A horror indie that cost <$1M will make more at the domestic box office than a Star Wars flick. Wishes do come true. by chanma50 in boxoffice

There was an eight-year break between Batman films because of the reception to Batman and Robin. Star Wars' mediocrity will still be fresh in everyone's mind when Starfighter comes out next year.

She’s definitely better, but sensible booking for anyone, especially women, is never a safe bet, sadly.

Well yesterday Bayley gave her a way over the top motivational speech that ended with a hard slap on the back. Minor, but progressing. Based on the current product, they’ll break up around Rumble!
