Dawn of Apes went seemed to make around $100M in China. I had no clue War hadn't opened there yet. Even if it manages to match Dawn's numbers in China, I don't think War will be passing $500M WW.
Wkd BO 0908-1017 - Beep beep, Reese. I- I- I- I- It floats. Oh , yes. It floats.

Second time this week I'm getting 'website blocked' warnings from Malware Bytes. Not sure if it's a false positive or what, but it's almost certainly coming from hotlinked images on that domain.

So we're just gonna be openly posting movie spoiler material in a BO discussion thread now?
WTF?

Okay, mother! was awesome. It definitely isn't for everybody, that's for damn sure. The frat boys a few rows back were definitely mad at the end of it, but I am riding some weird high after it.
And if you see it, make sure the theater has a great sound system. I can't imagine this thing in stereo or mono.

I DIDN'T DO IT!

What spoiler was posted?
No. It came to Canada for about 10 minutes, and I was busy driving across the continent.
No one told you to play Lewis & Clark

A Ghost Story is in my top 10 of the year. You should probably brace yourself for its artsy fartsy-ness, though.

At least the trailer wasnt misleading on that front.
It Comes at Night had the most amusing post-film audience reactions of the year.
One guy turned to his buddy and said "what the fuck did you just make me pay for?"
I also heard "I thought you said you watched a trailer for this", and "I'm not letting you choose the next film" from other people.
LOL why is that so funny. All the reviews i read/heard lead off with "it's not what the trailers make it out to be"
I assume that guy went in blind. It's not hard to miss trailers for A24 films.
Even going in blind, it's atypically paced.
Speaking of reviews, I learned Taylor Kitsch is the villain for American Assassin from Double Toasted.
I learned that Kitsch was Canadian recently. You guys outsource a lot of your generic white dude roles to the commonwealth.
and australia of late
That and shooting locations. It is amazing how Vancover can look like New York, LA, and Metropolis.

And if that's a spoiler for you, I'm going to repeat my earlier statement from a previous box office thread and say you're going to have to avoid the whole Internet this December

I mean, I know people confuse "I don't know a thing" with "That's a spoiler" but that's not a spoiler.
If you're a pre-release toy, nothing about your existence in the movie is a spoiler.

It isn't. And who cares? That's at least how I was reading the comment. I might be wrong.
Agreed.
Stranger Things, Blade Runner and IT
Expect Duran Duran soundtracks and scores that sound like John Carpenter.
They will probably remake Goonies and Stand By Me if that isn't already a thing.

You musta missed Force Friday II.

Finally read the plot of It Comes at Night. Yeah I can see how that movie had some major backlash

If that was it and I somehow spoiled it for you, I am sorry.
Definitely isn't a spoiler though.

Blade Runner is an odd inclusion there.

Carpenter still does stuff and will probably actually provide some of it
I know he's really trying to do his own score for the upcoming HALLOWEEN
Unless you have ever been to Vancouver. Then they all just look like Vancouver pretending to be those places.
I have only seen the synth trailer to the new movie with references to Atari. It may not be a good example if it doesn't make money.
I'm looking forward to that movie.

Of course I did. That sort of thing is on the same level as Nintendo Directs for me. I'll get some highlights from you guys in various threads, but that is it.

I didn't buy anything on Force Friday II, but working in retail I was very aware of it.

Ha, I was working at Walmart during the last two (inventory specialist but mostly grocery)
I had to explain all this crap to the actual department manager of toys who had no clue what she was doing...
My social circle is pretty free of our brand of geekdom (aside from one brother), so I am isolated from any of that in day to day life. I have never heard a mention of Force Friday outside of here, and maybe a movie trade site or two.
It makes sense why there is suddenly merch everywhere now that you mention it, but I wasn't expecting it. Some of those lego sets look cool. Junior high me would have been shoveling a lot of driveways this winter.

I got a Lando, but it wasn't Force Friday, it was because a friend and I were on our way to a screening and hit a Fred Meyer deli for cheap food that wasn't total garbo, and there was an end cap by the checkout with Star Wars toys in it and I was like "Hey, that's LANDO"
First time I've bought a Star Wars toy in awhile.

Only Star Wars toys I buy are some LEGO sets. Which if you all are looking for an awesome Star Wars toy, I highly recommend the new Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike.

I didn't really have Star Wars toys growing up. I think I had a Darth Vader, a Luke, a couple Ewoks, a speeder bike, and a broken TIE fighter. That was pretty much it. Oh, and an Emperor, I think.
Didn't really have too many Transformers, either. Like, KUP, I think? And maybe Thundercracker?
We didn't have a lot of money growing up. I basically had to try and kitbash toys out of household items and whatever LEGO was in the LEGO bucket.

If action figures still work the way they did when I was younger, all the cool stuff will be gone, and the clearance bins will be loaded with 50 copies of Maz, or whoever TLJ equivalent is.

Why is he posed so majestically?
And it looks like his foot is inching its way in front of your screen, cutting off precious pixels. For shame.
