It unreasonably annoys me that this proven hack keeps getting work.
At least Ben Affleck won't feel bad anymore about being the only AAA actor dragged into a stumbling Cinematic Universe debut
Placing Into Darkess in the same category as dumpster fires like TF2 and ASM2 is so unfair lol
That movie is totally fine

Works in politics
Ouch
Edit:
The Scorpion King Cinematic Universe will probably have more movies in it than the Dark Universe when all is said and done.

In fairness, The Mummy doesn't have Godsmack supporting it.

Too late. It's already got the "Dark Universe" indent and everything. They can't Dracula Untold this.

So I check BoM and WW did $148m through Thursday. That sounds familiar.
You are a beast, kswiss. Do you do lotto numbers?

Man my interest just evaporated for The Mummy.
"will be at premier"
"maybe Friday night"
"will go at 1:45PM on Friday"
"eh, not right now I'll go a bit later like 4PM..."
"Even with a free ticket and snacks, do I really want to go see it? eh"
"maybe Tuesday or later after E3 stuff"
Its not even the scores that get me, its the specific details that are just destroying it.

Same.
Eh. A logo doesn't mean much. I mean if they can change the Hulk's actor mid-universe that ain't an issue.
The thing is, Kurtzman already has different plans for the Dracula in Dark Universe. So even internally they don't t want it. :|
It's a better movie so it makes sense.
just gonna have to go see it again on saturday

Fuck maybe I should drop my prediction to 28m?
This is just sad.

Me too.
It looks like The Mummy made $20.5M overseas through Thursday. China's opening will be about $55M, which could end up being double the domestic opening. Expect Universal to spend most of their time ignoring the domestic take, and talking up what will probably be a $150M+ worldwide weekend.
boxoffice.com updated their long range predictions
Their initial prediction for The Dark Tower is $42M OW / $107M domestic total
They also bumped up All Eyez on Me to a $20M opening weekend, and dropped Rough Night to a $22M opening weekend.
Baby Driver's OW projection was left at $15M, but they bumped the domestic total prediction to $60M (up 20% from what they had previously). The power of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

I finally saw a preview to Baby Driver and it looked pretty good. Maybe I shouldn't have teased it over that title ;-)
Nice Friday number for WW
Nice Friday number for WW
That's a great Friday number for WW! Second viewing tomorrow, just as excited as the first.
My daughter and I are going a second time, and taking my older daughter along, who hasn't seen it yet.
Saw trailer. They kept calling it a groundbreaking graphic novel. I've never heard of said graphic novel, even in passing.
Bomba.

Doubt it but let's hope.
Even in France, it's not that well-known. It is groundbreaking though.

Why wasn't Wolfman the introduction to the Dark Universe
Holy shit, that would be fucking incredible if that happens. I was worried that this movie get eaten alive in such a crowded season, but it may have a chance yet.
She did some TV and was signed on for Thor but left over creative differences. I guess WB give directors more freedom for their vision even when it comes to DC properties.

Michelle McLaren left Wonder Woman because of creative differences.
Remember, when the Russos said, that they could do whatever they wanted in Winter Soldier and just were forced to take SHIELD down in the end? Or how Wakiki tells all the time how much freedome he has?

If wonder woman hits $54M this weekend, it will top $350M domestic.
He's a white man. It's not his fault. He'll rise again.
There's no way that it's going to hit a 3.5X OW multiplier.

She has said that she was worried that if her first blockbuster failed it would set back women directing blockbusters in general, so I think it was a combination of Marvel moving away from her pitch (which would have focused more on the Thor/Jane romance), and general anxiety about the whole project.
Remember when Alan Taylor was forced to shoot a new opening for Thor 2 and do reshoots with more Loki?
Thor 2 was fucked from the start. Blessed Patty saw it.
Would 60 million lifetime domestic be good? Feel like that's weak considering the marketing.
Chill dude he cited one incident. I also have trouble believing those directors when the Bros have been given the biggest in the franchise and Waikiki has his movie coming up.
