Oh god, the Special Effects showcase also had a Dark Universe part.

Do they CGI the box office results of The Mummy so it makes it seem like the Dark Universe is a success?

He said his main inspiration for the movie is Jack Kirby, if I remember correctly.
No one will be ready.

The yin-and-yang of Marvel movies is half the people doing that, half the people claiming it's groundbreaking and the best Marvel movie yet, and then starting the cycle all over with the next movie.

Here's the collection of Spider-Man predictions:
FYI, I will be gifting the 3 persons with the best OW prediction one game on Steam. In the event of a tie (Because you fuckers are offered no less than 5 $120M OW predictions) I'll use the domestic total as a tie-breaker, so please provide that if you want to participate. I've got a few games I can gift, so the breakdown will be
1st place: Dishonored 2
2nd place: Doom
3rd place: XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Or, if 1st place wants Doom, I'll give that person that and then 2nd gets Dishonored 2, etc.
edit: Let's also put the deadline at 11:59PM July 5th PST.

While I feel ashamed that my prediction is an Entourage joke, I'm thrilled to see nobody here got the reference. Stay innocent, friends.

Well this puts that whole "avatar bet" bullshit straight to shame, doesn't it.
This is good shit.
Been hearing lots of good stuff about Dishonored 2. It'll be fun to play it

Just checked and he says Kirby was actually the main visual inspiration:
It's time to go 3 for 3.
some old Total Film issue said:
Waititi said it's kinda like Big Trouble in Little China.

This is speaking my language.
Amazingly generous. I am now hoping that Homecoming has the exact same weekend as Spider-Man 1
I can throw in Vermintide and DiRT Rally if you want to have 5 prizes. Maybe just give each winner their pick of what remains in order. I have some alternatives to X-Com 1 as well if everyone has that already. I think it was given away by 2k at one point.
Mine are Steam keys through the Humble store, which should also help if your stuff is actually from Steam and subject to the BS "no more than 10% difference in regional pricing" restriction on gifts. I know that not everyone here is American.
Best MCU movie to be then.

He just means that an Asian will be the actual star of the movie and Thor is just the side piece

In BO news, Deadline has early numbers for today
DM3: $14.5M
Baby Driver: $4.5-4.75M
The House: $1.7M
You know someone with talent?

Now, what if Aquaman actually opened to that number, though?
PM me a reminder when it's time to hand out prizes, and I will send you the keys for dispersal with your other stuff.
It looks like the estimate for DM3 is on par with the average drop from Jul 3rd, 2006.

Holy, shit, Boss Baby in week 14 and still in the top 20, Captain Underpants only in week 5 and already down the 14th place!?! What the hell happened?
I mean I love Boss Baby and am super glad it's such a monumental success but the drop in performance between it and Captain Underpants, which is based off a [from what I understand] very popular series of books, is immense. Did they release them too close together? People not stoked on "The First Epic Movie" subtitle, thinking "oh great another series"? Boss Baby even held its own agains Beauty and the Beast. I still want to see it but what a bummer.

giveaways for predictions stuff is an awesome idea, good shit guys
Half of the 'lol Millennials' stuff on GAF is coming from Millennials knowing the demographics. We're basically looking at 18-36.
Also, xaosslug has been here for over 16 years, so he's early 30s at least.
EDIT: 11 years! I can't do arithmetic today. xaosslug could be in his mid-late 20s I guess.
We should do the next one for Justice League.
EDIT: My unclaimed key list on the Humble site is pretty legendary after 7 years of frequent use, so I am sure I can dig some stuff up.
I bet he is old because he thinks his titles are cool and hip. Instead they read like

I'd have to look at mine too, but I've probably got some things I can throw in for later giveaways

It was embarrassing. 20 minute show where 3 and a half minutes right in the middle were pretty much an extended Dark Universe trailer and a speech later.
They had an actual trailer for The Mummy with Cruise saying how awesome it was to do his own stunts and float in zero gravity in a airplane before the start as well.
I'm now amazed WB did zero promotion for Fantastic Beasts when I was at their tour near London before release apart from having a table in the giftshop with the pocketbook on display.

Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
It's best film was 890 and that was the end of a trilogy.
Civil War got a billion not because it had Iron Man in it, but because it had the entire Avengers cast minus Thor/Hulk. Wonder Woman was a unique concept (female super hero done well). Plus the new Spider Man looks to be offering nothing new, and we have had five films since 2001. It may be a good, even great movie, but nothing new.
Im like the exact opposite.
