Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Agreed.
Really happy that both Fences & La La Land have carved themselves an audience this holiday season despite the noise of Rogue One - Fences is performing much better than I would have imagined, the powah of Denzel.
And for lolz, Monster Trucks begun it's rollout overseas before its domestic release and grossed $2.2M in the UK.
Any thread can be a Star Wars ranking thread if you're brave enough.

Seriously, with a line-up like that, I almost feel like this Fuck You, It's January deserves it's own OT.

Have we had an OT for it before? That sounds like fun.
sing looks like what everyone thought zootopia was going to be.
Nov/Dec 2017 is pretty stacked...
Thor 3: The Rock World (Nov 3)
Justice League (Nov 17)
Coco (Nov 22)
Star Wars Episode VIII (Dec 15)
But then I looked at Nov/Dec 2018 and OMG:
Untitled MCU Film (Nov 2)
Live Action Mulan (Nov 2)
The Grinch (Nov 9)
Gigantic (Nov 21)
Animated Spidey (Dec 21)
Avatar 2 (Dec 21)
Mary Poppins Returns (Dec 25)
If those dates stick... Disney is going to run fucking wild at the end of 2018. I feel like Mulan is going to be pushed back, if anything. MCU does well in that November slot.

Yep, remember the trailer threads with a lot of people saying it would bomb big way...
Everybody and their momma knows Star Wars.
wasn't it just the first three or four episodes of the show shoved together into a movie? i heard it was pretty bad too.
the show is not bad, and has some fun with its setting and characters... which is weird considering it's got poopy prequel stink all over it.

My friends who love animals and have young children liked it. I haven't watched it yet because of how bland it looks visually.

RO should be on par with TFA and TPM last. I actually can enjoy AoTC because of Ewan McGregor and the Gungans are more irritating than Anakin
Speaking of TDK numbers, I've always wondered if it would have done so well without the publicity of Ledger' death, seeing as how Begins didn't do so hot at the box office.
I remember being a Freshman in High School when the news broke, and suddenly EVERYONE, Batman fan or not, was talking about the movie.
Dudes were showing up to class with Joker makeup and all that. It was stunnnig.

A Star Wars prequel beating Avengers 2.5 is pretty telling.

These new Star Wars movies are still new and exciting while everyone knows what to expect from the MCU formula.
Not after TFA made 1.5x as much as the Avengers.

Is R1 beating Civil War WW? Seems unlikely?
Yes it will. It will finish between 550-600 mil domestic. Civil War finished at 408 mil. Destroyed Civil War domestically.
WW Civil War ended at 1.1 bil. Rogue One should be able to push past that.
Domestically Rogue One will beat ever Marvel Studios film outside of the first Avengers.

Also Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone in this
Looks like Priyanka Chopra has started the Bollywood actresses flock to come to Hollywood
Hilarious that their exporting them here, while porn Actress Sunny Leone is becoming a mega hit over there, she's already reached the boss that is Shah Rukh Khan
See for yourself:

They took an old school classic and remixed it to 2016 version
Wtf does this even mean lol?
Are you white? Have you watched the movie yet? Did you leave the theatre feeling as if you'd been satisfied sexually?

I remember pre-TFA when some GAFers were claiming Marvel has easily surpassed Star Wars and that Avengers 2 would easily beat TFA in the box office.
As I tried to point out at the time in that thread the fact Star Wars kids toys sales were much much much larger than Marvel's even during the height of Iron Man & The Avengers without any live action Star Wars media in sight and was the #1 "boys" toy brand year after year consistently was a major sign that as franchise Star Wars was much much bigger than Marvel and was just a sleeping giant in waiting. Kids were buying Star Wars backpacks and action figures more than any super hero and there hadn't been a live action Star Wars film in a decade, it was just waiting to be unleashed on the modern blockbuster market.
Pre-TFA is was obvious it would run circles around any super hero film imaginable, people just refused to pay attention to the signs.

Part of that has to be the very strong dollar.
The dollar isnt THAT much stronger than a year ago. TFA would have made about $40M less on a $1130M overseas gross.
What a useless post.
It's a feel good movie in a down year that has catchy music and excellent visuals. It's gonna be a hit for good reason. The two white stars are great in it too.
Vastly exceeded. 400-450 were the high end predictions domestically for the most part.
I think that Civil War has the edge in the Rogue One vs Civil War worldwide Battle.
Unless fortunes had a big turn around this weekend, overseas (minus China) is probably going to finish in the $450M range. Things can change in the next week, but it doesnt look like Rogue One will match TFA in China ($125M) based on presales. So that's around $550M international total with a $100M in China.

In what way though? TFA proved that Star Wars is the biggest brand in film by a large margin.

Yeah, but SW GAF only cares about domestic grosses so, eh.

Pretty sure Emma Stone is at least half Asian.
No. I mean, it is, but it isn't.
It means that we haven't had a single film take all three crowns (domestic, international, and worldwide) since Avengers in 2012.
