I don't get how any one box office record is more important than any other. It's just measly numbers that bring no benefit other than bragging rights for fanboys.

How is that meaningful?

It's 'meaningless' because it doesn't fit the agenda the fanbois are pushing. There are way too many variables to compare box office runs, the exchange-rates, overall expansion of various markets, tickets prices, premium formats etc. That's why the golden number will always be #1WW record. Since, its going down fanbois have to peddle some more nonsense to stan for their favorite movies.

Folks at BOT will do tickets sold breakdown for each territory once EG run is finished, its far ahead of Avatar when it comes to number of admissions. So, that's another thing to consider.

Y'all have got to chill about this Endgame vs Avatar bullshit. While it's fun to look at the numbers and guess how it will do, at the end of the day none of this really fucking matters that much.

So dbs is on tonight and I can't wait to see how this tournament continues! I know that's not really relevant but I'm trying to distract from the Cameron V everyone debates.

Also Broly made 114m so it's nipping at avatars record

Everybody was pretty civil and having a good time till T'Chakku started slinging names and aggression at people out of nowhere.

Look at that cast. Before LoTR. Before Usher. Before The Daily Show(Jon Stewart was in this too). Before Fast and Furious. That's right. Even before La Familia

Invasion of the body snatchers with that late 90s Scream tone. Which makes sense, considering it was written by the same guy. The Faculty had its 20th anniversary last December and no one noticed. Heathens, the entire lot of you

The only thing I remember about this thing is that the kid from Radio Flyer is in it.

It's about time somebody adapted one of the Goosebumps books

One thing pissed me off about the release of DBS:Broly. It came out on a Wednesday, but I fondly remember it having NO showings that same weekend. I feel that did a lot to cut off legs at least here in the states.

It was in the top 5 domestic for that weekend, IIRC. That was super impressive for an anime movie.
Really exploded as far as available showings in North America compared to the two previous ones too. Just give us the opportunity Funimation and we'll outgross japan! Still had pretty limited showings and in January they could have afforded to fill things out more. Was packed every time I went and I went 5 times

And Desperado!
I've never seen this movie but I can tell it's bad cus every movie that came out in the 90s was about. Also, the 90s poisoned movies up until 2003ish. Movies started being good again once Kill Bill came out.
You're probably joking but I'm gonna answer anyway lol.

Written by the guy who wrote Scream. Not the Shining or anything but one of the best horror movies from the era easily. The characters really make it. Like I said, that cast is A-List

Respect The Faculty y'all.

Respect it

Ha! See my last post we're in complete agreement. They definitely left money on the table. Hell it made seven million on that Wednesday and that was in a limited number of screen and showtimes

Here's a question regarding your Han. Why did they not bring that guy from Tokyo drift into the fam in furious 7? Like they visit him and he knows someone killed Han but he just kinda wishes them luck and is in and out in 5 seconds. You'd think he would at least go after han's killer

Cause he aged 10 years in 10 minutes, you really think they want fucking Benjamin Button on the team

You talking about country boy? Idk I too wish they thought him back in full time like the rest of the cast. It is odd how he's kinda just in it for like 5 minutes bad you mentioned. Han was like his bff and he doesn't go on the hunt with the rest of the cast. But I'm sure this was up to the director/writers.

Lmfaoooo dead

It's crazy how he could play an 17 year old and a 35 years old lol

It's a seriously underrated movie. They perfectly capture the tone of those late 90s teen movies that were the pop culture mainstay of my middle school days.

Also, Cabin in the Woods has a great, super subtle reference to it. In Cabin it's said that the US was successful every year in except for 1998. Most people assume it's a reference to the faculty.

You get it!

I had heard that rumor before, and I hope that's true.
