That's a $50M opening, which is just the first weekend.

People are still hedging their bets on whether it'll beat the animated film The Life Of Pets which had a huge opening last week and is still going strong.

there's no way in hell it's coming close to life of pets. it'll be lucky if it gets ahead of life of pets in terms of revenue for this weekend not just opening weekend.

Freddie Got Fingered is way overdue for a revisit. No one is expecting it.

And gently caress the chinese market. No one should be tailoring anything to sell to an dystopian autocracy that is just as superstitious as it is oppressive and evil.

I wish i could start a production company out of Taiwan or Japan called gently caress You Nongs, every film would be about kaiju destroying mainland china and using the Mao's tomb as a toilet.

the hell is nong? I hope it's not a racial slur because it's pretty cool sounding and I want to try and use it

I was taking a look at upcoming films on Rotten Tomatoes and here's one I'm actually interested in (and is relevant to the thread)

Can We Take A Joke? posted:

In the age of social media, nearly every day brings a new eruption of outrage. While people have always found something to be offended by, their ability to organize a groundswell of opposition to-and public censure of-their offender has never been more powerful. Today we're all one clumsy joke away from public ruin. Can We Take A Joke? offers a thought-provoking and wry exploration of outrage culture through the lens of stand-up comedy, with notables like Gilbert Gottfried, Penn Jillette, Lisa Lampanelli, and Adam Carolla detailing its stifling impact on comedy and the exchange of ideas. What will future will be like if we can't learn how to take a joke?

Sounds neat and I hope it's good.

also the chinese have no taste so hollywood can shovel poo poo onto them and make money

Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't China had Hollywood films banned for an incredibly long time and just recently started to let them in? I think part of the reason it's doing so well is that it's new and unique.

It's actually in a three way tie for third between Ice Age (which flopped) and Lights Out (which has had little to no marketing outside of generally positive reviews.) Star Trek is also having the lowest opening of the three in the series.

It's been a rough year for theaters. What's the next bomb in the pipeline, anyway?

Lights Out is a fantastic movie first of all, if you like horror you should go see it. Secondly, like you said it had little to no marketing. Finally, it had a budget of $4.9m and according to Box Office Mojo it's made almost $30m worldwide. I'd say that's pretty good especially since it's only been out 3 days and a lot of it is probably going to come from word of mouth more than advertisements.

Edit: New Ghostbusters is #3 in the Ghostbusters franchise right now apparently.

Lights Out is a remake of a 10 minute video.

Also I'm pretty sure many people in CD like Lights Out.

It's a 3 minute short done by the same director and was expanded into a full length movie.

Years ago a guy who was a UFO researcher was claiming that people with a fear of clowns were abductees. Their fear of clowns came from their subconscious memories of these pale humanoid faces with exaggerated features.

that would be a cool movie
