he's six billion dollars now actually. which is a lot of money for one guy. maybe he shits gold bricks.
Rebuilding dudes went through hyper-inflation since the mid-70s.
I'm actually surprised that this isn't a comedy after looking at the imdb page. I guess they want some of that post-Star Wars action film cash ala Point Break and Assassins Creed.

Shoulda been a comedy and still only $6m man. Just cheap shit upgrades in today's world just to watch him keep failing.
That pitch is way too good to actually be what the movie is.

hey now, I've got a good vote on that one as biggest bomb of 2017. If you all start talking about it, I might lose!
Personally I'm fond of the six million peso man though.

Now that you mention it glamour hair from the 80s does look like a giant bird's nest.

Lion had a bigger opening weekend than XXX in Australia this week. It averaged like twice as much per theatre. Didn't see that coming. I realise few people here probably care about the Australian box office but I tend to follow it more closely.

Speaking of remakes, soon Colossus: the Forbin Project will be 50 years old, its topic is relevant now with Hollywood churning out 'robot anything' like candy, yet this excellent movie is not (yet) being remade. I get that it would be hard to improve on and you'd probably need Aaron Sorkin playwright equivalent to stick 'the game' of the humans versus Colossus, but seriously, why the fuck is this NOT being remade?

Oh, there is a 'production', but it's in development hell. Oh well. I would volunteer for it in a heartbeat though.

Saw the trailer for CHiPs this weekend. Dax Shephard? In the year of our lord 2017? Did they film that movie in 2004 and just sit on it until now?
Oddly enough the theater I was at (fairly young crowd watching Split) seemed to find it pretty entertaining.

Co-writing, directing, and producing a film gives you a pass to star in it I guess.
Plus they probably got Kristen Bell to do it for peanuts.
EDIT: Adam Brody is also in this film... Maybe it was from 2004.

Can we just add Freddie Prinze Jr. and do like an Expendables of late 90s/early00s teen comedies?

I got 3 trailers before today's matinee:
The Shack: In which a suffering white man is guided by not only a Magical Negro, but a Magical Japanese Woman and a Magical Israeli Jesus back towards....Christianity I think? It's cloudy.
The Last Word: In which a hateful, self-centered old white lady adopts a quipping young black girl as her last act of atonement that should nullify a lifetime of being a horrible human being.
GOLD, which actually looks interesting, but I suspect there's a reason it's getting dumped wide into theaters late January after getting a desperate limited release for awards consideration.

Octavia Spencer is God, the dude is Jesus, and the Asian lady is the holy ghost.

Maybe he got told he was too old for Power Rangers and decided he'd make his own adaptation, except about the bible this time.
Is he get the power of Heart in the trinity version of the planeteers?
What's going on where, out of all of Paramount's movies released over the last year, Rings seems to have the best marketing so far?
On a different subject. Mojo is listing Resident Evil's budget at $40 million, and its foreign gross as $35 million. I wonder how it'll do once it comes out proper.

Torn between La La Land and Jackie for this weekend's movie outing. Maybe if I hate myself enough, I'll watch XXX instead :V

I like the Resident Evil movies enough to see it on Tuesday cheap night.
Goddamn, March needs to get here fast.
Goddamn, March needs to get here fast.
If you wanted to watch one of the major awards nominees in theaters, this weekend is a pretty good weekend to do so. Tons of expansions and re-expansions are happening tomorrow.
La La Land: 3,136 (+1,271)
Moana: 1,894 (+598)
Arrival: 1,221 (+1,041)
Manchester by the Sea: 1,163 (+620)
Moonlight: 1,104 (+615)
Jackie: 514 (+275)
Hacksaw Ridge: 496 (+371)
Being sacrificed this week to make way for all of those expansions are Patriot's Day, The Bye Bye Man, Underworld Blood Wars, and Silence (losing 80% of its venues)
Monster Trucks gets away with losing 20% of its venues. A smaller percentage than Rogue One

The times for those expansions here are so shitty. They are all 5-7 instead of being spread throughout the day, except for Hell or High Water having one at 10AM. (Already seen that one too).

Has anybody here seen 20th Century Women? Debating seeing it next week instead of The Founder due to the great reviews, but all the footage I've seen of it has been relatively uninteresting.
Damn! That's really good for Split. Less then a 50% drop for a horror film is crazy good. It'll have some nice legs and 100M is a lock for sure.

They should have changed the name of "The Founder" to "The Asshole". The movie was really good.
So probably best thread to shill, but since Resident Evil is out this week, I got to do a little thing on THR about video game movies

Deadline is now saying $24.8M for Split. An M. Night film having a sub 40% weekend drop is kind of hilarious.
Chinese films will take the top spots on the worldwide Chart this weekend.
Journey to the West 2 scored an opening day of around $50M in China. I'm not sure how things work there during a holiday weekend, but I would imagine that JttW2 will end up well over $100M this weekend.
Two other films are set to have weekends over $50M in China as well.
Late edit: I forgot that these numbers were for Saturday. So probably $85-90M for JttW2 and less for the other two.
