I haven't lost it. I've found clarity and peace
Dunkirk was shot on 65mm, so it in 70mm would be pretty gud. It isn't exact like how Hateful Eight was tho

The correct choice is a Valerian/Dunkirk double feature. I already have my tickets.
I am jealous

Ayyy, indy theaters are the bomb. The one in Philly has three locations, and they've got cool food and shit so it's worth the trek.
Now you can take the bugger to all the Minions films!

Indie theaters are great, especially for their trailer choices actually being appropriate. I always find it annoying when I watch something like, say, The Big Sick at an AMC and get a preview for The Dark Tower.

I only know of one independent cinema here in London (Prince Charles Cinema) and I've never been there. They mostly show older movies, like Dune, Highlander, Scarface, Blade and Evil Dead II coming up in the next month and then have some newer releases sprinkled throughout, though they'll get them a little bit after wide release.
Funnily enough, it's a cinema chain (called Picturehouse) that gets all the good stuff like new indies, foreign films and blockbusters. Also Q&As. They're real serious about film, though. I guess they're kinda the UK equivalent of Alamo Drafthouse except they don't have as many perks.

It just makes it less likely you will run into Bronson.
I'm already driving 30 hours further away from Bronson.

You guys should get a copy of Street Fighter V.
Then you can meet Bronson whenever and literally mop that flop up
edit: Actually, the idea of BO Gaf playing Street Fighter V more than anyone in the actual Street Fighter threads do is pretty funny

Box Office GAF feeding on the latest big budget flop.

When Box Office GAF talks about a big success.
Speaking of Estimates: I'm thinking $45M for Dunkirk this weekend, but wouldn't be surprised to see something closer to Gravity's opening.
I'll say $25M for Girls Trip and $16M for Valerian. I think that Valerian is going to suffer from having so many solid films currently in circulation. Realistically, it should be closer to $40M this weekend with the budget it carries. Anything under $30M is pretty bad.

Do we know what Dunkirk's production budget is? I did a bit of checking and couldn't find it
WB reserved June 5th, 2020 for a DC film. That has to be Wonder Woman 2, no?
They also staked out Feb 14, 2020 for DC. I can see that slot becoming a battleground if future years. Especially if Black Panther is huge.
It should pop up in the next day or two.

Wonder Woman was my guess in the other thread for the June slot.
I actually had Cyborg for the Feb 2020 slot, but apparently WB never moved it from the April 2020 slot, despite not having a a director, screenwriter, or anything...

Do we actually think Cyborg is still happening? He doesn't seem like he's ever been that popular of a character outside of when he's part of the Teen Titans.
Then again, maybe if he's really well liked in Justice League DC can ride that momentum.

We are gonna be looking back and comparing / studying WW's run for years. Its pretty unprecedented
The last Spider-man film lost to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, so take a look at how War is currently doing for a pretty reasonable approximation of where a third ASM was heading.
Wonder Woman is bigger than most people thought, but I think that Homecoming is in a good spot, all things considered.

You guys live in the wrong countries for easy indie access.
This is a list of all the movies one can see in the cinema this week (all names are translated so apologies for that, but you can click on the names and it'll take you to a page with the original name, some data and a IMDB link)
The list shows 25 films of which only 10 aren't indie, and of those 10:
- Boss Baby is done
- Everything, Everything is done
- Wonder Woman is done
- The Mummy is pretty much done
So technically is more like 6 out of 21
Not all of these are being shown in all or even the same chains, but even then the ratios are not bad overall. For example the cinema nearest to my home is currently showing a total of 12 movies, of which 5 are indies.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Justice League isn't going to turn Cyborg into a fan favorite. Maybe it's because his entire suit is CG and they're still working on the effects, but what little they've shown of him has been bland. And nobody seems to care about him being the Black member of the team. The Culture is focused on Black Panther.
I could see Aquaman getting a popularity boost. Seems like this version is just a underwater bro.

WB isn't going to kill the film with the black lead from Justice League. At least not with nothing else to replace it.
Green Lanterns will likely have John Stewart, but that won't work since it's a buddy film and Johns' involvement means Hal will likely take center stage. Essentially, they need a somewhat answer to Black Panther and Cyborg is all they got.
Going from their tier list of anchor characters, the only other black leads they have are Vixen and Firestorm (which could present the same problem as Green Lanterns).
I agree the Cyborg wasn't the best choice, but Hal Jordan is ascendant, so here we are.
I don't why they're not just doing a Teen Titans movie.
Can 2017's America handle a Justice League comprised of four illegals and only two real Americans?
The twist will be Cyborg is actually MM in disguise all along.
In a better world we'd have a JSA movie with Mr. Terrific front and center.

Same issue I was highlighting. The optics of losing the "black-starring DC superhero vehicle" for a team film. They could go the "Cyborg and the Teen Titans" route, but it's going to be primarily pitched and marketed as a Cyborg-led project.
Martian Manhunter would be a better choice, focusing on man's inhumanity to man and black police detective John Jones navigating that problem a bit.
I'd be fine with that.
YES

It pisses me off that because of Johns inexplicable boner for dry white toast Hal Jordan the entire world is refused a Green Lantern that isn't just automatically better in pretty much every way, but also more recognizable and more liked.
And Manhunter doesn't make the cut because when they were building this shit David Goyer's dumb ass vetoed even the idea of it out of hand.

In a better world, Mr. Terrific would have taken Cyborg's slot on the Justice League when New 52 happened.
