That reminds me, wasn't Miller supposed to do a prequel graphic novel for 300: Rise of an Empire? I just remembered thinking how weird it was that the movie was "based on" a graphic novel that wasn't even finished/out yet.

Dear all other films....
Well deserved.
That scene was better in the trailer than it was in the movie. The lack of censoring took away some of the humor.

showtimes from my local cinema for sin city:
Standard 2D 8:30pm 9:50
3D 2:50pm 4:10 5:40 7:00
this movie wouldn't be bombing so hard if standard 2d showings weren't so hard to come by

No, it would have tanked regardless.
nothing. if a second marvel film bombs, they will start to adjust (down to 1 film per year, lower budgets maybe, more mashups ala avengers...).

most likely, but i wouldn't imagine it being at this scale. people aren't willing to dish out extra cash for the 3d showings

Good hold for Guardians.
Bomba city.
Bomba city.
25 mil? It will be lucky to make 15.
Speaking of, I was just in Disney and they had zero GotG stuff other than movie posters on all the buses. I was bummed. Even the Lego store didnt have any merchandise, they were sold out. I finally saw one dude with a black GotG shirt on and asked him where he got it but turns out he got in back home before he came.

People aren't willing to dish out cash period. The 2d/3d thing is a minor concern next to the fact it's not appealing to anyone but maybe 500k people in the entire country, looking at these numbers.
And yeah, 25 million is probably an optimistic prediction for its domestic haul at this point.
Frank Miller destroyed Frank Miller's career. The Spirit was just collateral damage.
Lucy making banks worldwide too. Will very likely be Besson's most successful movie as a director. (Doubt it'll beat Taken 2 so it won't be the highest grossing movie he's been involved in though).
Guardians is now pretty much guaranteed to reach 285m, might have a shot at passing the 300m line but we'll see.

Expendables 3, which leaked on the internet weeks before opening and did much worse than its predecessors,scored higher in its second week than Sin City's opening.
"Bomb" doesn't quite sum up how horrible that is

This can be applied to Iron Man.
GOTG is just over $19M behind Man of Steel after 24 days. It gained $6M on MoS this weekend, and with Labour day next weekend, it has a shot of gaining upwards of $9-10M on MoS next weekend. Coming off a $17.6M fourth weekend where the film dropped just under 30%, I'd easily give Guardians a 90% chance of hitting $300M domestic. September is dead. Drops are going to continue being good.
Age of Extinction will be the 10th or 11th highest grossing movie of all time. Domestically, Turtles are $100M behind Guardians. 0% chance

I think even if drops did start coming steeper and faster (and looking at September, Kswiston's right in that such a scenario likely will not be happening) Disney/Marvel would do what WB didn't for Man of Steel, and keep it in theaters anyway just to get to that 300 mil mark for marketing purposes.
Yeah, it's just that it's starting to fall behind IM and I wasn't sure how well it was going to keep up considering the grosses are starting to be similar to Captain 2. The complete absence of competition should take it there eventually indeed.
And people said GOTG was going to flop
Indeed, I cannot believe I thought it would brick now. Its just sprinting right now. Crazy.

Lucy is going to make more money than Expendables 3, Hercules, and Sin City combined.
But yeah, Black Widow is "too risky" for Hollywood.

Great to see GOTG's continued success
Too bad about Sin City 2 but well I'm not sure what they expected

This is for you Old Fugly Ninja Turtles:
There's a lot of trash talking for a movie that lost to those "Fugly Shrekos" two weeks in a row.
that apparently doesn't count as crow eating
I thought this was funnier with the graphic. It was ruined when it wasn't there.Dear all other films....
Well deserved.

Okay?
Agreed. I was disappointed that it was uncensored in the movie. It worked a lot better in the trailer version.

I actually think that the Transformers films are truly underrated. They get a lot more hate than they deserve.
It was only censored because it was on TV & was shown to everyone.
Think they put the line in on purpse?
Disney is like "John Carter who?"

It's a shame, really. I thought that movie was fantastic.
Blame the rest of the world for that one, though it did make some bank stateside too.

TMNT was added as a reference to 80's culture.

Agreed, though that movie definitely had a pretty noticeable hate campaign going against it.
