Can't really blame you, the biggest releases were Iron Man 2 and Jonah Hex that year.
Was that in response to questions of superhero fatigue from the the 2011 slate of 4 major films?
Yep, I def want him to continue to play with other genres, and I'd imagine we will get a new (hopefully) original Nolan flick in 2019.

It was about Avatar's success meant sci-fi films would be ascendant, and cape flicks would wane.
The Avatar thread had me looking back for old posts of mine around Avatar's release.
I've been remarkably consistent about it-- I liked it as a ride, but not as a story/movie, even back then.

I also didn't realize I'd been a regular BO-Gaf follower that long.
I guess something had to replace NPD threads as I went to the gaming side less and less.

We need to do GAf trades. BO-Gaf should trade Bronsonlee for half of Gotham-Gaf's lineup

You do not trade the franchise for 8th round draft picks
He would do a great Gremlins. Kinda already did with Krampus, so fuck it just give him the thing.
If BO Gaf was Alpha Flight, you would be Wildchyld

I was trying to figure out which film you were talking about here and then finally realized it.

That doesn't seem too terrible for American Assassin really with a 33 million budget. If it gets a 16 million weekend I don't thinks it's really a bomb (depending on foreign markets)
Certainly not a big hit but it could have been worse

That's a bit over 50% drop from last Friday, excluding the Thursday previews. That seems...pretty good? for a horror film. Guessing it drops less than 50% for the weekend as a whole (excluding previews).

Sculli is the BO GAF equivalent of the Wendigo curse. He only appears when people start shit talking AVATAR or Cameron.
Probably. Deadline has the weekend at $55M, would would be almost exactly a 50% drop, not counting previews last week.
$300M will happen for IT. I don't think that beating Passion is in the cards though, unless this weekend trends up.

Would TFA qualify?

Thor Ragnarok vs IT is gonna be an interesting Box Office race to watch. I could see the 2 having a pretty close domestic gross

In what universe?
Nah, TFA can't generate the posts like the others can. At least not in the BO thread itself. Maybe after the next round of Star Wars movies when folks that hate TFA retroactively decide it was great all along

That Kingman opening is about what I've been thinking as well. Above the 1st film but not a huge / substantial increase

I'm honestly not seeing a lot of hype for Kingsman from people. The only person I know for sure that's excited is my dad.

In that thread I linked (or maybe one of the others I found in my search) I mentioned that I wasn't excited for Avatar (hadn't seen it yet) and he replied proactively against backlash. I hadn't even put it down.
I basically ignore anything he posts about Cameron these days.

Same that's why I'm not expecting it to do all that much better than the last film

The fuck?
Say it with me: Paramount Doom Watch
I think they might be heading for one of, if not the worst result* of a major studio in modern history unless Daddy's Home 2 is a big hit.
*domestic box office
That would be a great OW for BR2049.
I don't know if tracking usually goes up or down, but for a while I thought 2049 could do similar numbers to Alien: Covenant's opening weekend (I don't remember how that one was tracking before its release). They both had/have similar big online hype that perhaps won't match general interest, but I could very well be proven wrong.
Even if I'm not really interested in it right now, the movie deserves big success based on its director alone.
I think that Star Wars doesn't generate a ton of fighting in these threads because most of the BO regulars who are big Star Wars fans are pretty positive about the franchise. They are actually excited for new films, and are not bitter fans reduced to hate watching anything that came out after 1983.
Those who don't really care for TFA (Bronson, maybe yourself), don't really care about Star Wars in general. There's also a bunch of us who like the newer films, but aren't super invested in any of it.
There's also no good rivalry for Star Wars right now. Trek fans are reduced to talking about the glory days, hoping that Discovery isn't a complete tire fire, and asking what went wrong with the marketing for Beyond. The MCU and DCEU are probably the two largest genre film fan bases right now, outside of Star Wars, but they are too busy fighting with each other.
Paramount has no chance at catching up to Lionsgate at this point. I wouldn't be all that surprised if Lionsgate increased their lead by the end of the year.

I still maintain that TFA took a dive the second that old man showed up to steal his ship back
