Have we gotten any good samples of the JL score, speaking of DC music? Looking forward to seeing and hearing it in IMAX.
I only use Vudu.

I dont' know that Danny Elfman's started scoring yet, even.
I'm really, really curious what he's going to do with it, though.
It seems like the Man of Steel theme (What Are You Going to To Do... on the MoS soundtrack) will be making an appearance if the trailers are anything to go by.
Or at least, the marketing team hasn't forgot that it can be useful.
(bonus: this twitter thread I made the other day about why that theme works)

Huh, I just realized this is the first Spider-Man film ever to have a higher domestic gross than a previous Spidey-film. Until now every single film has made less than the previous.

Wait Tobey #1 made more than the next two?
I know SM3 had a great first weekend, guess WoM killed the legs.
If the last Avengers is anything to go by, he could use the theme again and retool it a bit, just like he did with Silvestri's Avenger's theme.
That bubble ain't bursting today.

I had a couple people suggest to me that maybe Clark's theme from MoS gets repurposed to be the Justice League's theme overall. Which could be cool, I guess.
I just don't like HOW it was used in the trailers. Pitching it up like they did, and doing that string rhythm made it sound really cluttered and jittery.

Oh, I would love that, such an excellent theme.

I really wonder what kinda music he'll use for Flash if he gets a solo scene. After seeing how Fox had Quicksilver with period songs somewhat connected to time or travel and Marvel had Quicksilver do next to nothing solo(I can't even recall if he got a fight theme)I'm interested in what direction they'll go.
Diana will of course have her now classic track.

Probably where it will settle. It ain't catching up to the first 2 in the original trilogy and very very very long shot of passing the 3rd.

The real question is whether Elfman's gonna sneak in a reference to his own Batman theme
Sgt. Kabukiman

If Flash gets a theme in JL I hope Elfman will channel his work on Hulk. Really underrated score and it had a weird eccentric sci-fi vibe that would fit the character very well.

Maybe the intro of it in a sad scene with Batman?
Spider-man 3 also had a production cost $260M.
So $10-30M less domestically, and a bit more overseas, isn't all that bad. Especially given the exchange rates.
Don't jinx it, you fool.

It's 2017 and our White House is a carny shitshow that wouldn't cut mustard at an off-air WCW promo in 1997.
so yeah, Emoji Movie is going to make more than Atomic Blonde this weekend.

Funny thing is Danny Elfman already made a Flash theme for the 1990s TV show

Yes, it sounds very similar to his Batman theme.
Bobby Roberts

Shit, now I kinda hope he repurposes that, too.
He's gonna have to come up with a theme for him in this movie anyway.
edit: It really does sound like the Batman rhythm melded with Hedwig's Theme.

Haha, holy shit, I'm tired, how did I manage to forget that? Yeah, it was a great theme despite the Batman similarities. I loved that show as a kid.
My Elfman superhero themes ranking:
Batman > Hulk > Spider-Man > Flash
I don't remember the Ultron score, it's been a while since I've really cared for Elfman's work. Hopefully he'll crush it on JL.

Allow me to remind everyone that 1) there is no evidence to suggest Charlize Theron is an action movie draw, and 2) John Wick 1 only opened to $14.4M.
Start getting depressed. Emoji has no competition in the family film sector right now outside of a few movies deep into their run.
But it's sitting pretty with a 76% on the 'meter.
Ya, $20M would be a good opening for Atomic Blonde.
Also, it looks like this thread is heading for 2k posts. I guess Nolan + Thor runtimes makes for a powerful combo.

Bronson running around like Andy Kaufman on a wrestling show is also inflating the numbers a bit.

Quick Q:
Is Sony cutting back some of Spidey's theaters this weekend to give Emoji full run of the house?
It's highly likely a lot of Spidey's bookings with exhibitors came with the contingency that they had to book Emoji movie on X number of screens when it finally dropped, too.

If Whedon is feeling cheeky he'll tell him to hint at his Batman 89 theme.
But I'll be surprised if Elfman doesn't phone it in. (obligatory)

They used a Man of Steel song in the Justice League trailer?
I love the Man of Steel score and didn't noticed it at all

Listen to the back half. It's noticeable around when the Batmobile drives out

It's used similarly to the Man of Steel trailer, if you listen closely.
MoS https://youtu.be/T6DJcgm3wNY?t=115 (~1:55)
JL https://youtu.be/g_6yBZKj-eo?t=162 (~2:45)
They did something similar in BvS, where Lex Luthor's theme is a remix of a Man of Steel track.
The true test is whether or not we hit 1000 posts next thread when you're on your road trip. BGE has his work cut out for him.
I'm barely above 5% of this week's posts. I used to be good for 10-12% but my market share has apparently dropped!
I may be alone but I don't even recognize the similarities
I listen at least 3 times each and for me, it's different and way more epic for the JL version
I don't have a musical ear, that would explain my feeling
Great news. The movie was really good.

Listen for the horn lines. Same progression, same melody.
The Justice League one really starts closer to 2:56. A-B em, you'll hear the horns doing the same notes in the same order with the same rhythm. JL's is just pitched higher.
The big difference is that the strings underneath the horns are pretty different. Way more distracting in the JL example.

Sorry in advance for allowing this. I chose to watch Dunkirk this weekend over Atomic Blonde :[

In addition to Dunkirk, WB is planning to push Wonder Woman and Patty Jenkins for oscars.
While I really like Wonder Woman there's no chance either will win. Even being nominated is a big stretch, but we'll see.
Nolan has got to be up there, though.

Wonder Woman for Oscars? Ehhhhh
It was good but pretty much just on par with the 5 or so superhero movies we get per year.

Chris Pine for Supporting Actor. You heard it hear first, folks.
Honestly, don't think Wonder Woman has a shot at any Oscars, but it's a good movie tho
