No way?! I've thought this was WB for ages. I guess Fox have to have something this year.

Bale would have to go full Machinist to match that Penguin's frame.
The Wayne family's wealth came from fur trapping and not tequila good sir.

Funny thing is Oldman is there for his Churchill movie, where he opted to put on make up than pack on the weight. There's talk he might finally get an award for it, too,

Superman Returns kinda tainted him. Dylan Dog didn't do him any favors.
I think by the time everyone figured out you're supposed to use him comedically, it was kinda too late.
He's a guy that works in ensembles, I think.

Too busy having a gorgeous wife?
But I think it was just bad luck or not playing to his strengths. He is best when slightly goofy and awkward, like Scott Pilgrim and Legends of Tomorrow.
Although, he did play a great heel turn on Chuck.
Dylan dog being on TV is what prompted my question lol. I remember the commercials looking pretty good at the time
Yeah he was great in Chuck and glad he got Legends to redeem him for Superman Returns. They tried to have him play Reeve instead of himself.

Perfection.
Claremont's insistence on having one character incapable of speaking a single coherent french sentence in every one of his books is pretty much why I love the X-Men in the first place. That and Paul Smith's art.
I don't know but his constantly bloodshot eyes creep me out.
Hope you're right!
Try me bro February 8 2018 lol
The cinema that I go to here has 7 screens, every single one of them has sold out for the midnight showings of IT tonight, the last film I can remember selling out every showing so soon was The Dark Knight Rises - and those were 5am screenings. I've never seen a single screening for a horror film, let alone a midnight screening for one, sell out in advance here.
They were initially just doing one midnight showing but had to just keep adding more and more to keep up to the demand. It's selling like a summer blockbuster.
The cinema also happens to be in a town called Derry.

80 could def happen, but I think that's too high for a floor.
I don't think Bale will be satisfied until he's actually died for a role.

Damn.
All 4 showings at my theaters are damn near full for tonight.
That said. I just got my ticket for tomorrow night. Can't wait.
I already think my $77M guess is comically low. We'll know pretty quick tomorrow morning.

Variety's got an article up (sans numbers, apparently Fandango and Movie Tickets don't wanna give those up just yet) saying IT is already the most pre-sold horror movie in film history. Which sounds way more impressive than it really is, considering the history of pre-sales is like... less than 20 years old? Something like that.
But Movie Tickets did say that IT is responsible for over 50% of all their pre-sales this weekend.

Interesting question is how much of those opening weekends was accounted for by the presales.
That should give a decent idea how big a chunk the walkup sales were, and maybe a closer notion of what those multipliers in the tweet might point at.

Yeah, we need a baseline. But that's still pointing to an opening that might blow well past the tracking. Feels like all the pieces are in place.
Super anecdotally, on Tuesday I bought Friday tickets for Nat and I, and I never buy advance tickets. But then I also tend to not hit horror films opening weekend; they really bring out the crowds in my town.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Yeah, again totally anecdotally, but there's definitely a sense of buzz about this movie I haven't noticed in a while.
Bold prediction, IT will be the highest grossing film to feature an eldritch abomination in the form a of children hunting clown

Looks like the Thursday previews on those three break down like so:
Annabelle 2: $4 mil, 11% of the total OW
Conjuring 2: $3.4 mil, 8.5% of the total OW
Purge 3: $3.6 mil, 11% of the total OW
Those multipliers that Movie Tickets is providing seem all sorts of weird now, though, considering the relative uniformity of those film's preview numbers. But even looking at those numbers, I'm thinking a double-digit Thursday preview is really, really plausible.
Question might be how far north of 10 it actually gets.
Or if it even gets to 20.

A slight impact, but probably not too significant. The population of Florida is about 6% of the entire US, and some people in the state will be seeing the film still. As bad as the storm is looking for Florida, the impact is just not as widespread as the winter storms that have impacted the east coast.
I'd say IT will probably lose $3-4M at most due to Irma.
Yeah Spider-Man!
