Just saw WW and man, I was starting to doubt everyone's impressions because the movie is dogshit until they get to London, I understand this is an origin story but maaan.

Glad it dramatically improves tho.

If one of the MCU films bombs, we could see another BvS type spike. Some people have been nursing that hope for over 5 years.
 
Here's a graph of box office GAF activity created entirely for my own amusement/curiosity. I have mentioned that it feels like we have been more active in the last couple of years, and aside from some huge spikes last year for BvS schadenfreude the tail end of The Force Awakens, we do seem to have some upward momentum going.

(I swear this only took 15 mins)

Well I know as far as I'm concerned traditionally I'm hugely interested / talk about the gaming industry sales data and in the past somewhat / semi interested in Box Office. I would usually post a ton in NPD / gaming sales and was pretty regular in Box Office but only would post a couple times per thread.

I feel like gaming sides sales threads have become so poor lately with fighting and shit throwing there isn't a whole lot of good convo to be had there so I'm hardly even in the NPD threads anymore. Whereas Box Office GAF I like much more lately and the core group here seem much more down to have fun conversation so I'm posting much more in these than I used to.

So yeah props everyone good community we got going

...Top Funny Comedian: The Movie.

I assume each of these characters had their own origin story in the Phase 1 lead-up to this all-stars package?

So I had a dream a week ago about a movie directed by David Lynch starring Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man and Topher Grace as Venom having to team up with Lynch to fight the studio executives trying to interfere with his movie.

Where to I pitch this to Lord and Miller?
 
Evander Holyfield is in Top Funny Comedian The Movie. From the trailer it seems he tries boxing a woman holding a whisk. She bites his ear.
 
Oh god, the thread itself is now getting its own kswiston graph. I expect it to become self-aware around the release of Justice League and Thor 3. It will swallow the rest of GAF and then move on across the internet to absorb Box-Office Mojo and Rotten Tomatoes.

Also, I approve of another David Lynch Dune, but only if Rowan Atkinson plays the baron Harkonnen and Sting reprises his role and wears even less clothes this time around.

I forgot that I made some of the past threads when I datamined xaosslug's "threads created" search page to speed things up. That explains why most of the years had 24-25 weeks when it should have been 26.

Here's the fixed graph

I love that this community has been more active. Definitely a ton of great stuff in here!!
 
It's going to take 2 weekends for a Transformers film to pass $100 million domestic. It looks as if the robo bubble has finally burst.
 
Eh. Transformers just needs 2 films in a row that don't suck to start making money again. The Bumblebee spinoff needs come in at a low-ish budget and not suck. And then T6 needs to not suck.

Not a difficult task from the studio that brought us Transformers 2 through 5 and Monster Trucks.

Speaking of Final Fantasy, are any video game movies in production now aside from the new Tomb Raider?

There's a Sonic animated movie supposedly next year?

And these are not really in production currently/are years away so we'll have to see if they ever happen:
The Division with Jake Gyllenhaal & Jessica Chastain
Metal Gear Solid by Jordan Vogt-Roberts (lol)
Uncharted with Tom Holland
Angry Birds Movie 2
Five Nights At Freddy's
Firewatch
(not counting the development hell stuff like Last of Us, Splinter Cell & Sly Cooper)

Of that lot I only expect Angry Birds & The Division to see the light of day.
