Give Mr. Nolan a blank check to make a Star Trek TNG movie. Harry Styles returns as Westly Crusher.

Honestly these threads have been annoying with this crap in recent weeks. Between straight trolls, in-jokes, and FUD from people looking to pick at various rivalries it's making stuff toxic. I pretty much only pay attention to KSwis and BGE for comments about relative performance at this point.
We know, we read the Thor thread.
No in-jokes, here, buddy.

Emoji Movie review time?
Biggest-Geek-Ever

Yep. Looks like it will be making a run for worst reviewed film of the summer.
edit: Scratch that. Emoji Movie has shattered the glass bottom of the barrel with a 14 on Metacritic.
I genuinely think that the majority of stuff in here is good natured and in no way bothers me. But looking to our saviors (Swiss and BGE) is never a bad decision.

Nolan will only reach God-Emperor Cameron status when he directs 5 sequels to Insomnia at the same time.
Yes. Give it to me.
Tom Hardy as super buff Picard. Christian Bale as Tasha Yar. Henry Cavill's mustache as William Ryker's beard.

that is my side-bet for biggest bomb, assuming 'the billion dollar man' even still makes this year, so I'm invested in seeing that fucker drop like the bomba it should be. And no, I cannot imagine any kid getting excited for that crap.

I don't think it will do better than $25M this weekend, but I'm guessing there will be plenty of dread when it opens higher than Atomic Blonde.
So Valerian is f-...ine?
China saved Pacific Rim so you never know... (though let's be real, it probably won't help that much)

Wait, where's this report that Dunkirk cost less than $100m?
Could have sworn I read a THR article yesterday that claimed otherwise.

When are you contributing your $15 to the Emoji Movie?

Bitch I'm Hopeman CUE THE MUSIC
And yeah, an opening north of Atomic Blonde is gonna make sense, but it's also gonna feel bad, I think. Still, the fact it won't cross 30 is sorta positive.
But it apparently cost about 50 or 60, so it'll make budget probably unless it completely cliffdives in week 2

Hmmm. Jupiter Ascending made $44 million in China.

Boxofficemojo now shows $100 million as updated by studio IIRC.
http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=chrisnolan2017.htm
Those associated with the film have noted multiple times its way below the $160 million mark of his recent films.
I'm not sure why it's such a surprise as it seems fair to me the film could be made for that unless I'm missing something:
- mainly practical effects using actual available Spitfires, boats, etc.
- likely low salary for cast (excluding Nolan himself who got a big wedge)
- clever use of simple effects - a number of articles I read in UK papers noted cardboard cut outs of distant objects were used as an easy, cheap option
I mean $100 million is still a tidy sum but the film's not that huge in its effects/sequences nor does it appear to be paying huge sums to big name starts.
Nolan and WB would surely have considered likely box office and other revenue when considering the budget and approach for Dunkirk and targeting a manageable budget would seem sensible to me.
Having said all that it'll probably turn out if cost more but it certainly seems doable to make it for that to me.

I don't see why it is hard to believe Dunkirk cost just $100 million.
Saving Private Ryan had a budget of $70 million (unadjusted) and that is with big name actors. Dunkirk has a lot of new names and there aren't visual effects laden scenes. There is no reason why it should cost as much as a Super Hero movie with star studded cast.

A coin toss meaning that it will pass $300M by $10M on the low end. Dude should just admit to being wrong instead of shifting goal posts and doubling down NPD GAF style.
Edit: nothing is opening this weekend to cause a big slide. I think that Homecoming will see a 45% or better drop. Closer to 40% would be ideal if we are doing the Homecoming vs Suicide Squad race.

I honestly remained somewhat optimistic on The Emoji Movie.
At worst it would be generic and forgotten.
How naive.

The person that wrote both crappy X-Men movies got paid 8m for each....
And people think Nolan is overpaid ?
Sometimes I think, you know, Bronson gets too much shit. This guy's alright.
You are alright.

This is better. A below average movie fades away. A truly awful movie is remembered.
That's why I'll be bummed if Justice league is like 20% better than BvS. That's just boring.
Wait. I definitely quoted the wrong post.

If it does, I am blaming you. LEGO Batman deserved to gross more. It still did well, but deserved better.
