Capcom must love W.S, he's made them more money than their goddamn games at this point right

Does Capcom even make any money off these movies besides whatever they were paid way back when the film rights were first bought from them?

Imagine what he could do with Mega Man.

They should do a Mega Man movie in the style of Dredd.
Effects driven and 3D is an easy sell a lot of the time.
It's not really a question of why RE is popular in China but more of, why is THIS RE movie so popular? The previous 2 didn't do well over there.

Seeing the ad for Beauty and the Beast during the Oscars...yeah, that film is going to destroy the box office when it opens.

Denzel and Viola don't come cheap, even if it is Denzel directing himself.

I don't think it's factored into its production budget, but I saw ads for Fences everywhere. It seems they put alot into the marketing budget, more than you typically see for a small, actor driven drama.
It's interesting where they do well. They were moderately successful in the US, but they actually do comparably less well in Western Europe and much better in Asian countries (especially Japan and now China), Russia, Latin American countries and the Middle East.
The Final Chapter grossed more in Thailand than the UK.
And yet many bigger and better films don't do nearly as well in China.

Get Out is GREAT! I don't think it will get enough praise from me to everyone I know that likes watching movies, even if they don't like horror movies.
My audience was applauding during the movie. It was a great experience. I loved it.

With a hint of blade runner.
also, Bradley Whitford finally getting somewhere (in terms of movie Boxoffice) outside the West Wing by appearing in a horror movie. He looks very different here from his Cabin In The woods appearance too. Nice.
(I also keep forgetting where I know the main actor from, which is as Reggie in Sicario)

Most the of the talk surrounding the oscars still focused on la la land so I still see it picking up a boost from this. Hoping it gives moonlight a bit of a pick me up. It's a shame, here in Australia it was a total non event. It's interesting how a best picture movie can be totally ignored in so many markets.

Do we know what the Academy Award winning Suicide Squad's worldwide totals ended up at.

Get Out wkd actual: $33.4M
Batshit crazy. The question isn't if it makes $100M now, but how far it goes above the mark.

IGN put together a list comparing the Best Picture winner, highest rated film (Rotten Tomatoes), and highest grossing domestic film each year for the last 20 years.
It's a bit messy but the analysis is still interesting enough.

Yup, can't trust things like imdb ratings for any films about racism, sexism, etc.

Love seeing John Wick having some legs, but I am sure Logan will wreck that next week. Still, good run

Great job to the Get Out team
9% above the estimate is pretty crazy for an opening of that size.
Live by Night increased close to 925% from last weekend, making a whopping $21.3k

Biggest percentage increase ever? If so, RECORD BREAKING FILM!
FTFY. xD

The BO numbers for the Australian box office are totally fucked up this week. its been hard to follow the numbers this year, they keep coming late (usually a few days but up to a week late) and it's the second time the numbers have been totally wrong. Not sure who updates the page but it clearly isn't checked. It's annoying because I like following the Australian box office but this makes it near impossible.
Edit: Talking box office mojo here.

It's like the ninth film in the franchise. It's not going to be able to get new viewers without them having to watch like eight films beforehand or something similar. I'm not even going to see it theatres because it's just too much money to rent them all so my gf can catch up.

I wouldn't be surprised by anything between 70 and 100 for Logan. It should do noticeably better than The Wolverine, but I don't have a good bead on whether the reviews plus Jackman's final time as the character will push it over the top.
In other news, Get Out made $4.1M today, dropping only 58% from its huge Sunday. Unlike most films that pull off remarkable Sunday/Monday holds—like TDK, Avengers, Star Wars—the grosses here aren't enormous. It's reminding of the Hangover, actually. So I think Get Out is looking at a fantastic weekend drop. Maybe only 25%.
This gets overblown all the time. Plenty of moviegoers don't feel a compulsion to watch everything ever released in these sorts of franchises before seeing a particular film that interests them.

Than I have no idea what is wrong with them. If they aren't invested in the characters than what is the point of them seeing the film.

Logan is standalone. I'm taking my family to see it at IMAX even though I know they know nothing about Xmen because of all the reviews saying it's not about Easter eggs or continuity but really good storytelling. There isn't even a sequel bait ending or post credits scene.
You've never watched a franchise film without seeing all the previous entries? That sounds like some completionist obsession
A good film is a good film, it shouldn't need someone following all the entries.

I think did when I was a teenager (incredibly ironic it was Xmen: First Class), but that had very little relation to the others.Logan is standalone.

It's not really completionist, I just want to get the full effect of the film, and I don't think I would if I hadn't seen the previous entries.

I can kind of see why Lego Batman didn't set the world on fire after seeing it. The movie whizzes by a mile a minute and it's sometimes even difficult for me as an adult to wrap my brain around the visuals and dialogue, let alone kids. The only things that got huge bellows from the kid-dominated crowd was mostly the physical-comedy gags.
You think people have watched all 26 Bond films, or every MCU movie and the MCU TV-shows?
I spent the middle half of the film listening to my three year old daughter repeatedly asking me to turn Lego Batman off so we could go home. It lost her after maybe 30 minutes. The ending sequence caught her attention again, but I don't know that I would recommend the film for young kids. There isn't a ton of objectionable content in it, but as you say, a lot of the dialogue is not aimed at children. Hell, a ton of the gags would probably go over the heads of a lot of teenagers, seeing as they are dependent on films and TV shows that predate their existence.

Feel bad for the people watching Agents of Shield to catch everything in the Marvel movies 😂
I've only seen maybe half of the Marvel movies and honestly I think I've benefited from it.
