Really enjoyed Bridge of Spies. Tom Hanks was awesome as usual.
Wkd BO 1016-1815 - 'Crimson Peak' sounds like a euphemism for menstruation... _

Despite being a mediocre movie, Prometheus actually made decent money.

$55 for Crimson Peak? The movie looks way more expensive than that, Memo knows how to handle budgets.
I still can't believe that the Hellboy sequel cost less than $100 million. Del Toro may not have much mainstream success, but he's a master of making shit look way more expensive than it actually is.
All the more fitting to wait and rent it from a Redbox.

I watched Hellboy 2 earlier this year and it definitely looked like a movie made under $100 mil. You may be misremembering how good it looks.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
We ditched seeing Crimson Peak when I found out it's a "gothic romance". Barf.
I rewatched Prometheus this weekend, and despite the flaws it's a much better movie than the tepid The Martian. Other than Jurassic World, The Martian is the most disappointing film of 2015 imo.

Good, wouldn't want too many people to see what he gets up to in High-Rise. Animal lovers would hate him. Saw him in the LFF screening, he's a total geek XD

the Del Toro gipsy curse is real isnt it?
At least family members aren't being kidnapped during production anymore.

Crimson Peak was at least entertaining. But whoever decided to promote it as a horror film should be fired.

This is why I didn't rush to go see it. I've been promised a horror movie for years. I thought it was a horror movie. Then del Toro is like lol nah not really, and in conjunction with the marketing just led me to believe that it's a film that isn't quite sure of itself, so I can wait on it.

Gonna try to get a screening in before next Sunday. It was either that, Martian, or Bridge of Spies today and we went with the feel-good sci-fi flick.
Hateful 8 is this winter too right?

Don't forget Macbeth, Bobby. Great film.
I liked Crimson Peak, but the marketing for it was horrible because it absolutely is not a horror movie. As Del Toro said, it's a "gothic romance" and that's exactly what it is. I really enjoyed it though myself, but misleading people to think it's something completely different was a bad idea that clearly backfired on them. I can only assume it was in an attempt to make it seem more appealing. Maybe if they had promoted it for what it really is it would have done better? Guess we'll never know.
The last few weeks have been packed with great material.
Everest, Sicario, Beasts of No Nation, The Martian, and Bridge of Spies. All films which did an excellent job.
I saw it today, I would say its closer to horror movies like The Shining, Psycho, etc. Its not a "jump" horror movie. Its obviously romance, but their are definitely horror elements too. Not sure what you would categorize it as, definitely not the same as most recent horror movies though.

Every time I hear about this movie, I expect Tommy Wiseau and "oh hai, Mark."
I'm very confused.
After what happened today, I imagine that movie is going to bomb hard.
Early numbers are pointing to bombs a plenty this weekend.
Deadline and Boxoffice.com are both forecasting The Martian re-taking #1 and Goosebumps holding onto #2.
Both sites are forecasting $10-12M for Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension, $9M or Steve Jobs, about $10M for the Last Witch Hunter, and between $2-4M for Gem and the Holograms and Rock the Kasbah.
At least most of those films were fairly cheap to produce.

Jem and the Bombas, Paranormal Activity: The Bomba Dimension and Rock the Bomba.
For real, jebbus.
Jem has released? I thought it was a 2016 film for some reason.

Paranormal Activity series really fell off for people after 3, huh? 3 made $104m domestic, 4 was $53m, Masked Ones was $32m, this one is gonna open even lower.

Best post of the threadCrimson Peaks sound like having an organism while menstrating.
This one's going to VOD in two weeks, right? So theaters really didn't care about pushing it. Not sure how/where the marketing focus has been.

Could be, but Pan seemed like it had flop written all over it. Though whenever not-Disney tries to do what Disney is doing, i usually doesn't turn out well, lol.
And Paranormal Activity at least tends to be cheap. Across all of the sequels, they only really spent like 30 million and made nearly a billion worldwide.
