Is WW going to pass GotG2 domestically?
Great news for Baby Driver.Mojo has actuals up. Spider-Man's actual was less than 0.1% off the estimate.
Baby Driver increased to $13.0M. Wonder Woman dropped to $9.8M. DM3 dropped to $33.6M
Probably long legs and Oscar hype given the subject matter. Probably a rerelease in the fall/winter even?Man these Dunkirk impressions are through the roof. If final reviews echo the same vibe I wonder what sort of effect it will have on it's BO

I'm gonna be catching Dunkirk in IMAX for sure
Same. And here is my dirty secret, never seen a Hollywood film in an IMAX ever. But this movie seems made for it so I'm driving 50 miles to the nearest one to experience it
*Breathing intensifies*That Dunkirk impressions thread....*heavy breathing*
I figured it would be good, but...

oh man, it's great. the sound systems they have installed for those theaters are next level as well which seems to be a big part of Dunkirk so it's a no brainer

It's on pace to do so.

Hahaha no songs oh god. In case someone was wondering if these unnecessary live action remakes could get any shittier.
Keep destroying your classics Disney.
Beauty and the Beast kept the songs and it was still the worst movie I've seen all year.
With Mulan I think they should just watch wonder woman on repeat in their preproduction because Jenkins pretty much nailed the blueprint for it with Wonder Woman

I like this idea. Skip the songs, focus on the drama. I have a love/hate relationship with Mulan. The songs and the comedic bits just pull me out, but when it is focused on her and serious it is so good.Beauty and the Beast kept the songs and it was still the worst movie I've seen all year.

I wholeheartedly love Mulan. Including the music and mushu. But yeah. They should scrap that for the movie for sure and just focus more pointedly on the story and drama.
And hopefully some kick ass action.

I'll Make a Man Out of You is the only memorable song in Mulan. Reflection is good but can be skipped and no one would care.

That's true for me.
Anyway, isn't Mulan a couple years away still?
Just read John Oliver got cast as Zazu in Lion King, so I'm assuming that's next, followed by Aladdin? What's up with Little Mermaid?

Huh. Feels like I've heard more about Lion King's cast; Donald Glover, Seth Rogen, etc.
Perhaps I've missed the news about Mulan. No actors are attached yet?

Yeah, I don't think $100 domestic is particularly probable, but is it at least possible, K-Swiss?
That 38% hold while Spidey hit was better than I thought it'd do.

Hoping to catch it tomorrow!
That movie made bank and i expect Justice League to do even better.
If Justice League didn't do better than BvS -- which, while doing very well still underperformed due to the badword of mouth -- it would be a pretty big disappointment.
My god, what a flop company of subpar sequels Pixar has become.
You live in an alternate reality.
Mulan is like missing a whole 15 minutes in the middle of it where the huns are actually supposed to be some level of threatening and those characters feel like they're in over their heads. As is, they literally are coming over a hill and get beat by a fucking firework. And then the main bad guy shows up, and gets beat by another fucking firework. And then they brazenly try to recreate what worked in Aladdin with the fast-talking celebrity buddy, and the silent animal sidekicks who actually contribute nothing but acouple gags.
Man, Mulan sucks.

It's the message that counts.

I just like the songs honestly, don't really remember much about the movie except for that ending where she decides to go home instead of being the emperor's advisor, I thought that was really dumb.
It's the message that counts.
We already had our shallow mid-90's-ass "GIRLS CAN DO IT TOO" Disney movie with Brave, and it wasn't much better there either. For all the talking up of Mulan, by the time I actually saw it (a movie I was actually really into conceptually), it's woefully unsatisfying in almost every degree. They need to put in some fucking work to make this story good. But considering how insanely unambitious Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast are, I doubt that's happening.
Atleast Maleficent had some kind of a unique angle to justify its existence, its own flaws aside. And Jungle Book was a technical marvel if nothing else.
Yeah, I don't think $100 domestic is particularly probable, but is it at least possible, K-Swiss?
That 38% hold while Spidey hit was better than I thought it'd do.
John Wick 2 made $28M in the week following its second weekend. Baby Driver made $27.5M. John Wick 2 was a bit more than $1M ahead of Baby Driver after its second weekend.
John Wick 2 finished at $92M.
It is possible that Baby Driver has better legs in its later run. John Wick's weekly drops weren't amazing. It only had one week that was down less than 45% in its first two months.
EDIT: Also, my somewhat local drive-in theatre has Baby Driver as the second feature to Spider-Man starting this Thursday. If that was the case elsewhere, Spider-man could actually be helping Baby Driver some.
So who was the closest to predict Spiderman OW?
It sure wasnt me with my 125 million prediction
Chamber and Harmen were 99.98% accurate.

THR is calling Valerian the Razzie front runner of 2017.
Please let this be the nail in the coffin of Cara's tragíc "acting" career.

Poor Dehaan. He's a good actor, but after Amazing Spider-Man 2, A Cure For Wellness and now Valerian his future ain't looking so bright.
Has he had anything going for him since Chronicle?
