Donnie Yen wasn't enough to get ya interested? How about Kelly Tran in Last Jedi?
Is age really a factor when Star Wars has since its return in 1997 never gone away nor ever relinquished its crown as the most popular franchise even in non-movie years?
I believe I have read that Star Wars has been the #1 top selling "boys" toy brand every year for something crazy like 20 years straight.

Cheebo don't make me hurt you
MCU vs DCEU is as much of a rivalry as you can call the Pats and the Jets a rivalry.

I stand outside the lines for The Last Jedi and hit the children with ice cubes until everybody leaves
Age wise you should be feeling nostalgic about Jar Jar right about now.
I was thinking more GAF in general.
Homecoming fell off a cliff.
20.5M RMB this Friday vs 135M last Friday. So an 85% drop. This weekend should be around $10M in total, bringing Homecoming to around $100M in China. I don't know what a reasonable finish is at this point. $110-115M? Apes didn't help with the drop today, but I think that next weekend is lighter. Either way, the total will be quite a bit lower than the opening weekend suggested.
War For the Planet of the Apes opened to close to $20M on Friday (plus midnights) in China.

I don't even know what that is supposed to mean.
Guess I haven't been a mainstay in the Box Office threads for years.

You got a problem?!
What part was confusing? People's home countries/towns being put down? Slayven ensuring that he continues to mention Alpha Flight more than the rest of GAF combined? The few posts of Box Office sprinkled in?

Wait, what's the tracking for IT this weekend?
somewhere in the mid fifties?
If it hits 60 at all we're pretty much guaranteed 300mil domestic, right?
As it is, it's kinda likely-ish, isn't it?

Oh sweet. Right up my alley.
I wonder why she's interested in that role of all things. That was one 90s comic series that I didn't read, even though my teenage self was all about similar series over at Image.
Yes, yes, and yes.

I think it will be interesting to see how the rest of Hollywood interprets the success of IT in regards to September releases, "me too" approaches to the tone of IT, etc.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Can't say I'm too surprised. Seemed like she wanted to be part of an action franchise for bit now. Anytime someone mentions a "Jane" Bond, she's all about it. And her X-Men role is probably a one-off.
Sounds like a mid tier kinda movie. As long as they don't try to jam it in summer because "It's a comic book movie!" they should be fine. Basically, don't be Atomic Blonde.
Kanji Klub is one of the worst scenes in the franchise and I refuse to believe JJ directed it.

I remember the TV show being terrible, only watched it because of Kristanna Loken.

In the theater for mother! Let's see if it's as fubar as everyone says.
Good assessment. I still need to watch TFA
Star Wars has always been propped up by nostalgia, the films was never that amazing, especially in the writing.

Amazing writing don't put you at the top of the box office
and
nostalgia don't get you to 940mil domestic, either.

Piggly Wiggly's got better writers though! The example STILL falls apart

Let's be honest, anything more than competent writing in a space opera is not only unnecessary, but also not worth the effort.
Actually didn't feel that at all. I couldn't really get into his character. Kinda wanted more Poe Dameron tbh. Need more Latinos in space, you know?

I am also not the norm with not liking Star Wars so don't think I represent all the heroes
Ice Pirates and Black Hole was exceptional

Didn't help Valerian.
I'm confused as to how IT isn't going to gross massively over Conjuring 2/Annabelle internationally, when it's going to demolish it domestically?
I'd have thought $300m was a shoe in for IT abroad
It hasn't released in as many countries. It'll pass them all comfortably.
So $600m WW is still a go?
You'll know next weekend. It will be super close.
Mendelsen is wrong about it maybe not passing GotG2 though. Even if his worldwide total includes Friday in China. That is locked.
That's just depressing.
I think so. Using Annabelle: Creation as a gauge, it's made $187.5M internationally in six weekends/weeks. IT has made $96.4M in just its first weekend. In the countries that Annabelle: Creation opened in but It hasn't, the former made $58M of it's total.
So backing those out It will pass A:C's accumulated like for like international take in two weeks. Toss in the territories It hasn't opened in, and $300M might be doable. This weekend's hold will probably tell us for sure.
Yeah I noticed it hasn't opened in Mexico yet where Annabell and Conjuring 2 got around $20m. It seems hard to get info on these markets, BoxOfficeMojo still has opening weekend numbers for IT.
Still. $1B franchise here we come! Took Conjuring Universe 4 films lol

Her character's sister is looking pretty cool
I'm not expecting much screentime from her though.
