I got dibs on the review thread. I want a front row seat to that (potential) abomination.

Still got my avatar bet with DeathyBoy that JL doesn't outgross Avengers. I am still trying to figure out what avatar to punish him with when I win.

Nothing will live up to the Batman v Superman review thread. Unless for some reason Avatar 2 is a complete turd critically. That is honestly the only thing I can see overtaking the BvS review thread for most fun to track as things rolled in.
What if Justice League is 100 minutes long?

We will have plenty of Thor 2: The Darck World gifs ready just for you. Don't worry!
Then it will be a better deal at the theater than Thor 3: Ragnarock.

and then Collin Trevorrow makes the first Rotten Star Wars
TPM was fresh until 3D, the animated movie doesn't count

I don't think I made any comments at the time, but did anyone else find that entire recent interview with James Cameron to be borderline incomprehensible
But will Stephen Lang be able to take down Wolf Warrior?
EDIT: Had to dig for that pic again (and repost it off Photobucket before it disappeared). But man, this thread from 2010 as Avatar was within $7m of Titanic's worldwide record was fun to read tonight.

You're right. Justice League won't exist until November.
Or did you mean Th3r: Ragnacock?
Or Thor Too: The Darcy World?

I want Avatar 2, Justice League, and Thor Ragnarok to all be fun and enjoyable movies that do well in the box office.
The Minecraft movie can go straight to hell, though.

Watch Minecraft pull off some weird wizardry like LEGO Movie did. A film that is nothing but some shameless, almost insulting cash grab/advertisement on the surface, but winds up being really damn good and heartfelt.

That's the feel good hit of the summer right there.

I see no reason why it couldn't, though I haven't looked at the people involved so there's that.
It's sort of crazy that it took until 2017 for this to happen.

I honestly have zero interest in Minecraft the film, so I haven't paid attention to the talent either.
Heck, I was rolling my eyes at the LEGO Movie months before release, and LEGO is where almost all my free money goes to (as evident by the LEGO GAF threads). But when the reviews for that were rolling in, I had to see what the fuss was about, and I was very surprised by how well it turned out. I am willing to give the LEGO films the benefit of the doubt now, because they are 2 for 2, although LEGO Batman wasn't as good as the LEGO Movie.
And sad that it took that long.
But it is awesome that it happened.
Mac from It's Always Sunny is writing and directing.
Take that as you will.
One of the Madea movies got fairly close about a decade ago.

Hmmm.
And about the Girls Trip news, Fate of the Furious is the highest grossing film by an African American director isn't it?

Apparently directed and co-written by Rob McElhenney with Steve Carell starring (I did know that part before), sooooo... that'll be interesting. That team sounds a lot like they're trying to emulate the Lego Movie to me.
aaaaaaaaaaaaand beaten
Yes. Gary Gray broke his own opening weekend record for an African American director as well. I can't remember if Straight Outta Compton had the overall gross record or not. If so, it wasn't by much. Tim Story directed the first set of Fantastic Four films.

I'm joking about the Minecraft movie but I legit can't think of a movie I don't want to do well.
And there's a lesson Hollywood should be learning from Wonder Woman and Girls Trip this summer. Can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe greenlight a World War 1 movie with the cast of Entourage.

thoroughly unremarkable in either direction means less than avengers which means dumpster fire failure. There is no scenario that will be unspinnable for JL.

Expecting Coogler to come in second in the top grosses for African American directors. He will most likely come in 1st domestically with Black Panther, but $1.2b is a very steep hill to climb worldwide, so Gray will likely keep that title.

Back in March, IndieWire did the top 33 highest grossing films domestically by Black Directors but used the annoying adjusted inflation that you love so much (LOL) gross.

I'd like to see how that list looks unadjusted, but I don't think I want to take the time to untangle that right now. Maybe later this week. I wouldn't be surprised if you could make the top 50 with a $50 mil domestic take.

Thought it was avatar bet for a month.
You said JL would outgross Avengers. I said it wouldn't.

^ Toa Tak approved
Of course! Toa Tak is a huge Thor 2oo: Darcy's Darck World fan. He has a Kat Dennings signed and framed (in custom built frame) poster hanging in his house.
Toa Tak has no game, confirmed.
BB-8 merchandise and being on EVERYTHING in 2015 says otherwise.
The marketing and mania for TFA and TFA related products and imagery was way, way, way, way bigger than Batman '89. Using every metric under the sun.
And I am someone who saw Batman '89 in theaters and had a Bob the Goon action figure.

Girls Trip basically saved comedy this summer. And it launched Tiffany Haddish into the next level. She got that Kevin Hart movie last week, so she's already reaping the rewards of Girls Trip's success. I hope she gets another project that's strictly her leading.
The rest of the comedy scene is on notice. Stop trying to improv your way through an entire movie. None of you are that fucking funny. Doesn't matter if you're Kate McKinnon or Will Ferrell, the shtick is old.

Darckness has set on Box Office Gaf. Only Thor 3 can save us.
