Didn't hit four billion, guess that's the end of that franchise.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

The force strong

 

[jman2050]

4% RT for Point Break? What kind of disaster did that movie ultimately become?

 

[Dominator]

Daddy's Home did much better than I anticipated... Nice.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Holy shit at that 4% RT score for Point Break. Wonder what the budget was for that piece of shit.

 

[strafer]

Point Break, how was it?

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Star Wars is doing OK.

 

[cebri.one]

Hateful 8 bomba?

 

[vinnygambini]

Thought Daddy's Home would reach 40M OW booo

And Star Wars, dayum.

 

[Penguin]

Sisters and Alvin held up super well.

 

[metalslimer]

Joy is a leading Oscar contender? Wat

Anyway daddy's home did great

 

[nib95]

Joke? What do I care about it's subjective aggregate rating?

You probably don't. But it could act as a reminder that the vast majority of journalists and industry veterans in the world disagree with your sentiment. In other words, perhaps some of your criticisms are overly harsh or even misplaced.

is daddy's home a good movie? or atleast fun to watch

 

[NotLiquid]

I really wonder how everything's gonna look once Star Wars opens up in China.

 

[strafer]

Joy is a leading Oscar contender? Wat

movie was pretty fucking good

and Lawrence was good, she always is.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

150+ million on its second week...has this ever happened before?

 

[DrForester]

 

[Ridley327]

It is 2015, and someone spent over $100 million to remake Point Break. Relieve them of their financial responsibility ASAP.

 

[knitoe]

Ridley and Boyega gonna be asking for a raise $$$

Doubtful. Knowing it was going to be a trilogy, the studio would have contracted and signed all the leader actors for the three movies from the start.

 

[Road]

huge thread incoming

1000 posts about whether or not it'll do over $100 million third weekend.

Spoiler

More like 1000 posts about various subjects, and very little about actual boxx office.

[Fug Slanderson]

It will be nice to see a sci-fi film that people actually remember watching and care about become the #1 film of all time.

Not like, um...that one movie...Cameron's last one. With the blue monkey cat elves.

Not gonna happen.

 

[Gonzalez]

Happy to see Hateful do well on its limited release.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Joy is a leading Oscar contender? Wat

David O. Russell film starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.

I think it's a contender by default now.

 

[PopeReal]

I wish JJ was directing all 3.

 

[Ridley327]

Hateful 8 bomba?

No, that's a really solid number for limited release. The real test for it is when it goes wide on Thursday.

 

[PhoenixDark]

The main takeaway here is that Avatar made a fuck ton of money.

Sadly given that it's a tech demo posing as a terrible film.

So TFA is good huh. Guess I'll see it.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

David O. Russell film starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.

I think it's a contender by default now.

And it's probably not very good at all.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Joy was an Oscar contender on paper, until people saw the movie and thought it wasn't shit

It is 2015, and someone spent over $100 million to remake Point Break. Relieve them of their financial responsibility ASAP.

dont worry, I'm sure that'll be happening shortly!

 

[User1608]

Holy fuck. STAR WARS. Still gotta watch it. Hoping today once my shift ends!

 

[Matt_]

Sisters doing very well
Great average for Hateful Eight, not sure the reasoning for not opening wide over Christmas though

I can't say much about Star Wars that hasn't already been said by others
Although it is LUDICROUS that it managed to have a better drop on it's Friday than Jurassic World or the Avengers despite its massive thrusday preview numbers


Watched Joy today and I liked it, a lot more than I liked American Hustle too. Should net Jennifer a tidy few awards, can't see it doing much for anyone else though. Cooper probably had about five minutes of screen time in total

 

[kobu]

how does daddy's home make 38mil? i guess people will never get tired of will ferrell playing the same man child he does in every movie.

 

[soundscream]

Hateful 8 bomba?

Might want to get your eyes checked.

 

[maquiladora]

Star Wars is back

 

[Animator]

I will see Concussion. It looks pretty decent.

 

[GCX]

Sisters is holding up really well with -0,3% drop.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Wait, point break was 100m? wtf?

 

[Pai Pai Master]

It's going to easily cross $2 billion, no doubt.

Yeah the question is how close it'll get to $3b before this first theatrical run ends.

 

[Currygan]

150+ million on its second week...has this ever happened before?

nope

Star Wars doing good

 

[mjc]

Complete and utter annihilation. Well deserved, let's see how long it's legs can stretch.

Big shoutout to Krampus too, I'm proud of you little guy :_)

 

[foxtrot3d]

Nah, critics are simply happy the film wasn't trash. Hell, Jurassic World has a great metacritic rating and I also thought that film was merely decent. JJ just remade ANH but inserted his constant ADHD into all of the cinematography and writing.

 

[Boogalogist]

Kessel Run in 12 parsecs...
Billion run in 12 days...

 

[Currygan]

just one day less than JW

it's kind of sad

 

[strafer]

I wonder what Bigelow thought of Point Break.

I wish she would have directed this instead.

oh well

 

[Takao]

Hateful 8 bomba?

It's in 100 locations. That's a pretty good result for the limited launch.

 

[BeforeU]

I have never seen this type of split

Domestic: $544,573,329 49.9%
+ Foreign: $546,000,000 50.1%


HOLLYHELL. Domestically this movie is killing it

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

For reference, TFA's second weekend makes the top 10 opening weekends of all time with this.

153 is also more than what many predicted for OW. lol

 

[davepoobond]

it doesnt surprise me that Point Break cost 100 million dollars. There's a lot of stunt shit going on in that trailer


i'm interested in how bad it is, if it is funny bad or what

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Wait, point break was 100m? wtf?

They spent more money on the remake than the original movie made at the box office in its entire run.

i'm interested in how bad it is, if it is funny bad or what

Reviews keep saying it's boring as fuck.

So anyway. Fucking Star Wars, man.
