That they do.

Glad to see you finally figured it out.

Than dont make your name your user name.

It's my nick name, besides that I already gave my reasoning of why I chose and then decided to drop it. Creeps are continuing to use it.

Lol, so now the film clearly has fantastic legs, and will crush 1B, and the goalposts are being move again. Legs in particular are all Whedon, writing and directing. That massive word of mouth keeping this film earning high is proof of it. Trying to argue otherwise is embarassing.

In his defense, Resurrection is really awful.

SUPER awful, in fact. If that movie touched him as a child, that would go a long way towards explaining this personal vendetta

 

[G-Fex]

It helps to NOT buy into their stuff

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Worse movie: Alien Resurrection or Piranha 2

 

[ViewtifulJC]

And Solo/Expendable/Sculli's influence on MovieGAF is no worse then your own over WrassleGAF, Yugi

Oh shit, WrassleGAF politikin'!

This was all manufactured by Feige and Marvel Studios 4 year 5 film build up not word of mouth.

If the word of mouth was bad, you'd see a significant drop. Look at Green Lantern. It had a good opening day and then dropped like a rock after because the movie was so fucking bad. Feige can be credited for the initial turnout, but the soft drops are all Whedon.

 

[Escape Goat]

I love James Whedon and Joss Cameron.

This is like holding a textbook on marketing and, instead of reading it, just setting the book on fire and pretending the material can be learned by inhaling the fumes.

Wanna do some textbook ash? Its goooood shit.

When the textbook is ashes, this thread will have my permission to die.

Also blame Nolan for making okay crime movies.

Best post in this thread so far.
And I actually love the Batman flicks. But it's no denying, TDK was just a tolerable crime movie, nothing more.

I think there's a considerable likelihood that TDKR will be a better film. However, I have absolutely no confidence that it will make as much as TDK made.

Got it. :/

Not yet, not yet.

I love James Whedon and Joss Cameron.

Did you see the graph I posted above? Whedon just overtook public's love for Cameron. Storm's coming lord Xemu Cameron. And the TV King is bringin' it.

Good Job Bob : Whedon :: Erigu : Lindelof

Look at what the Avengers have done to you. How it twisted and corrupted your souls, made you less then men.

On topic, I think Nikki Finke is lowballing it again. Just like she did it last week. Her first estimate for Friday was ~65M and she kept raising it up until she was close to 80M. The final tally came in at 80.8M.

I wont be surprised if this did 30M today.

Bet you expected a TDKR quote here.

eh DKR is getting $215-225 OW and $100+ Opening Day

Does WB pay you by the post, or did you give a bulk rate?

It wouldn't be one of your posts if the picture wasn't unnecessarily changed into something silly. Kudos.

Edit - Ah, you edited!

Tangled cost how much to make?

The strength of the Threadbearer is failing. In his heart, Sculli begins to understand. The quest will claim his life. You know this. You have foreseen it. It is the risk we all took. In the gathering dark, the will of the grudging grows strong. It works hard now to find its way back into the hands of men. Men, who are so easily seduced by its power.

Oh it's worse, it is.

But I don't pop up in the wrasslegaf thread like a pouting little girl and nag nag nag, like you my dear viewtiful friend.

It's in reference to how shitty the LOTR movies are.

Guy Pearce should give them a call.

That..was a good one.
It took me a few seconds, but when it hit, glorious. Well done.

Gimmick infringement!

Yes Sculli, I saw that

Or Avengers is going to do 100M due to Whedon.

Clive Owen's agent is so bad that he can't even get into GAF running jokes now.

So with Avengers going into the second weekend at $803 million worldwide, is it likely to cross $1 billion by Monday?

 

[G-Fex]

Yes.

Avengers is going to have more money than Odin.

 

[Htown]

Oh it's worse, it is.

But I don't pop up in the wrasslegaf thread like a pouting little girl and nag nag nag, like you my dear viewtiful friend.

Bullshit you don't.

 

[DrForester]

Bullshit you don't.

There's a lot of communities that G-Fex "Doesn't pop up in"

 

[duckroll]

If you people have a problem with each other, you can take it to PM. If I see this sort of shit continue, you can all take a holiday.

 

[la flama blanca]

1 billion dollars, got damn.

 

[kswiston]

It depends on Domestic grosses, but I am starting to lean towards no. If the Avengers does $100M domestically this weekend, it would need a really good overseas drop to break $1B. A little less than 40% I think. $975M+ might be more likely, with the $1B mark falling on Monday or Tuesday. Avengers would miss tying the record, but overseas markets opening 9 days before the US release really hurt its chances. Pretty amazing that the movie is so close to $1B already, despite all of that.

 

[duckroll]

1 billion dollars, got damn.

And it's just the second weekend!

 

[Htown]

Duly noted.

So. Box Office Thread. Do we think Dark Shadows is going to be the movie where everyone finally gets tired of the "Tim Burton presents Hey It's Johnny Depp in White Makeup And Acting Weird" genre?
