only good(bad?) thing about Pan's single world name is we can't do a Bomba title ala Bomba Ascending or Bombaland

Such a shame about The Walk, cool movie, great use of 3D effects, one of the best IMAX experience I've had in years.

Looks like it's gonna burn through the War Room profits for Sony.

No real need to specify. Pan got panned in every way possible.

The Martian is holding really well. $200M domestic is on the table. $188M would make it Ridley Scott's career best.

YES
it better come through for me in the prediction game!

I'm still trying to figure out who Pan was even for. Its too dark and self-serious for kids, too loud and garish for adults. Its a origin story nobody asked for. Its a narrative that takes place before the fun shit happens.

why

The lure of brand recognition coupled with the high concept notion of extending the original property. I know it sounds malicious but I love to see something like Pan crash and burn. Leave classics alone and don't fuck around with them in stupid ways is my view on something like Pan.

Jupiter Ascending had a bigger opening than Pan, breh

Snap.


And The Walk bombing hard too. But that was relatively low budget, wasn't it? So it shouldn't hurt too horribly.

 

[ezekial45]

Too bad about The Walk. I really enjoyed it.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

$35M budget for The Walk, yeah. Still, $3.65M for its wide release, still in IMAX theaters nationwide? That's awful.

 

[BronsonLee]

Too bad about The Walk. I really enjoyed it.

Yeah, I liked it a lot more than I thought it would. That one definitely needs IMAX 3D, though. Anything less and it definitely loses a lot of the impact.

It's really an interesting movie. When Gordon Levitt is a lead in a movie, he really leans in hard. Carries every damn movie.

Someone once asked who was the movie for.

Shit looked boring, interesting wikipedia article but not something I would pay to see

They definitely pad the movie for timing, but when they get to the walk, it is some real impressive stuff.

You know it is CGI right?

Great second week for the martian. Thats pretty good legs.

That came out?

WHAT

Spoiler

Yes, you clod I mean from the way it's being presented. In IMAX 3D they do a great job of showing depth/distance.

Hook and Pan recruit the Lost Boys and say they hope their friendship lasts. Yep, it ends on a sequel hook.

I didn't think a big budget movie would bomb harder than Jupiter Ass-cending this year. Damn. Panned indeed.

Coincidentally, both are WB releases. This has to be their worst year in ages.

Joe Wright will soon be making mediocre period pieces with Keira Knightly in ridiculous dresses again.

Spectre breaks box office record with £6.3m opening day gross
Thats $6.4M on Monday night and a further $9.2M for the full Tuesday

This means that the Tuesday gross alone beat Skyfall's Friday opening gross, even though Monday posted big numbers
insane
