I just hope Mike gets his due in the sequel. He is one of the best characters in It and he got short changed imo
Embrace the clown!Damn that's a ton of people for a horror movie. No thanks.
The shit that the movie got was just the really stupid Forbes article about how it was the worst weekend drop ever or something like that, and then all the anti-Marvel fanboys piling on. I don't think actual informed people ever doubt that this movie would do well.And it has a solid chance at passing it. I think the #1 spidey film is at 890. It will be a stretch but its actually possible. Unreal how much shit this movie got weeks ago and now its about to pass BvS and possibly become the highest grossing Spidey movie of all time.
Also, Dunkirk is now at $492M, definitely locked to pass that $500M mark now. A great achievement by Nolan, who will become the first director with 5 >$500M flicks in a row.
China.Whats with the massive jump in WW numbers for Home coming

So how did It become such a big hit? Like it would of happened anyways considering it's actually good, but what drove all this OW traffic? Do that many people have reverence for the Tim Curry version?

On average, we were wrong by at least $40M.
Congratulations to Biggest-Geek-Ever and AdventureRacing for taking the top two places.
There were two games up for grab, SOMA and Killing Floor 2. I will PM people in order until they are gone. I know some people have those titles, or aren't interested in either game, so prizes may go to places outside the Top 2.
I'm activating my derail powers to address the evil that is this man
EXPLAIN YOURSELF
I mean, I watched War but didn't watch the other two, soooooo
I'm only going to speak for myself here, but every other film in the DCEU sucked and was widely panned. I had zero expectations for Wonder Woman, which I ended up liking a great deal.No, you should blame them for their cynicism. Absolutely.
It's the most tired (and tiring) thing about them.
I've had Moviepass for almost a month and still haven't gone to any movies
There's no way the WB would sign away that much of the gross.If the 20% box office gross contract is true, he will make 100 million dollars plus 20 more of salary.
120 million dollars.
Lmao.
He should start funding his own films cause he is the most bankable individual trademark of movie business today. It's money in the bank.

I, too, am really confused as to what happened to Apes. My only guess is they took too long from sequel to sequel? Couple that with the fact there is no big star carrying the franchise sequel to sequel.
It's disappointing...
I don't believe that. It had its own weekend. When people are interested in seeing a movie, they will see a movie.it also got sandwiched between spiderman and dunkirk. didn't stand a chance.
probably would have kicked ass with an august release date.
My man.Second time seeing Atomic Blonde.
My man.
Liked it even the second time.
I think it's underrated, but as I told my wife, when they make a movie for me personally, I tend to overlook any shortcomings.
Woah.I can see the tagline for the sequel "You'll float 2"
Sometimes, if not often, the success is a measure of the times. And War for the Planet of the Apes is a heavy, heavy, movie not everyone is about at this time.
Hurry up and correct this.I still haven't seen the third Apes, but comparing it to Day of the Dead has gotten me more interested in checking it out than any of the trailers did.

That was me with Baby Driver.
It's probably the weakest of Wright's films but I was having too much fun with how the movie essentially started remixing itself halfway through to care all that much.
The well-reviewed and much buzzed-about film has earned a jaw-dropping $123.1 million in its first Fri-Sun frame.
Sounds reasonable - that 55% Sat-Sun drop they projected was way too steep.Seeing 123 million pop up as It's actual weekend take
Baby Driver's still the most entertained I've been by any new film or tv this year not named Twin Peaks.
also Apes deserved better than it got but I understand why it wasn't a huge hit at the box office. the pacing and tone of the whole thing owes more to a blockbuster epic from the 60s/70s. and it was stuffed in between Spiderman and CHRIS NOLAN
How come y'all are acting so speechless when it comes to the fact that Apes flopped?
Is it that hard to understand that few people want to go see a movie about talking monkeys overthrowing humanity that takes place in the snow - that you have to have seen two others to understand, during the winter?
I don't understand why they didn't save this for fall. They should have done that and put the two previous films up on Netflix or something.

So Spider-Man featuring Robert Downey Jnr's Iron Man actually passed wonder woman world wide? Honestly shocked.

Yeah, I was hoping it would have done better!This hurts
I expect more big budget King film adaptations and HBO, Netflix, all the major cable channels thinking of what books they could adapt into prestige series. I totally expect a new Salem's Lot and at least a big The Stand show (ideally a show, maybe a movie)
The soundtrack in IT is amazing. Gonna need the score.
I read Florida is around 6% of Box Office take, but IT only took 1.8% from Floride. So 4% lost ... $5m~ so I guess it still wouldn't have beat Deadpool's $132m.
While I'm sure the movie is going to do amazingly either way, is it possible Geostorm's gross takes a hit because because natural disasters is hitting just way too close to home this year?
Or maybe people will want to see Gerard Butler literally fight hurricanes. It's cathartic.
