Searching continues to impress. We're probably going to get plenty of films attempting to copy the formula now that Searching has proven that it can be a success.
Unfriended: Dark Web was even better with the format to me. It does feel like this is gonna be popularized but I dunno how many premises you can use effectively with it.
Eli Roth's name being attached is what is making me NOT want to see the movie.
However, Eric Kripke writing does make me sway back.

A remake of Down Periscope shot entirely in Periscope.
It's perfectly enjoyable and weird.
This is probably heresy, but I liked it more than the first two Harry Potter movies.
I had no idea that the House With The Clock In It's Wall would end up with that three day gross. Presumably it has some built in audience already because most people I spoke to assumed it was a Netflix series or something.
It seems like the 'middle' for studio films isn't completely dead.
And what is the thinking on The Nun's final worldwide gross, $325m or even as much as $350?

I saw it Friday in a mostly-empty theater with my wife and kids. I assumed it was going to bomb, but I guess these things just do far better in matinee and Saturday night.
I haven't seen the new trailer but the thought of watching a new Transformer movie after the one that ended in china(i don't know which is it because they blur together) makes me fatigued just thinking about it
If Wikipedia is correct, Bumblebee only had a budget of $102m, which would give it a huge leg up over Alita and Aquaman; I can't imagine those other movies having budgets lower than $150m-$200m
People, generally, are tired of Trump and politics. They don't want to spend their money, and rising movie tickets prices, on getting upset. They want escapism.
Think about it, lefties will have more things to stew about and righties won't watch their guy get criticized for 90 minutes. Movie was bound to fail.
watch the new trailer
bayformers is putrid dog shit. this looks way better and tonally completely different.
indeed. it's no coincidence that superhero movies are as big as they are in this modern era.
specifically, superhero movies that aren't trying to be dark and edgy.
Robort is known for working cheap. Probably his most expensive movie but I bet it is still cheaper than what someone else would have done
Wikipedia links to an Indiwire article from 2017 that claims $175m-$200m. Not sure how reliable that is, though.
No way, that has to count all the years of development hell. If those numbers are true that might make it the biggest bomb in some time
Imagine watching a Transformers movie where you actually like looking at the screen.
That's Bumblebee.
That movie was a literal asswhoopping to watch. I felt like I had been in a street fight after watching it
Age of Extinction is the one I never saw in theaters.
I realized about halfway through the final fight watching at home that I wasn't even watching anymore despite staring at the screen.

I saw the first Transformers in the dollar theater and disliked it, so I didn't see the others. I almost got fooled into seeing the second one after its first trailer, but MovieBob set me straight.
Made it halfway through the first DVD at home. Never looked back.
Saw Predator last night. I kept checking my phone to see if it was almost over. That was real bad.
People in my friend circle were hyping up that first movie in almost exactly the same way that they would hype up The Dark Knight the following year, so as you can imagine I was extremely disappointed with it.
I have an errational hatred of the 2nd one because they miscredited the Air and Space Museum in the movie. They claimed that they were at the DC facility when in reality they were out by Dulles. I thought I was going to see the front of that building open and a transformer was going to fly out. Instead I got lies and robot balls.
My 15-year-old ass got suckered into the hype circle for TF2 somehow. I remember that movie being the first time I actually became critical of blockbusters I watched.
That said, I can't be mad at summer 2009 because goddamn was Star Trek a great blockbuster that year.
Last time I got drunk and watched Age of Extinction (I have a habit of drinking and watching Bay movies in their entirety) I started writing a musical in my head about how terrible of a parent/human being Cade Yeager really is.
It was when they boarded the ship is when I tapped out, visually too much going on and not meaning anything
I never see much now but I've saw both Clocks and Predator and enjoyed them both. Maybe its cause my expectations where at rock bottom.
I like how it's briefly mentioned he was stealing electricity from neighbors, and that he fixes VCRs in 2014 and expects to get paid.
District 9 also came out that summer. That was a good summer for movies.
So thoughts on Captain Marvel after trailer 1?
It's going to do over 40 million views and a million likes in a week, so clearly there is a ton of interest. That said reception to the trailer seemed a bit more muted than I had thought the first reveal would be. I'm still expecting it to be huge but I think the next trailer needs to be a lot stronger.
I'll say this, Marvel is expecting this to be massive. I was in Target and they had the trailer playing on all the TVs in the electronics section on a loop almost non stop. Never seen that for a movie that far out and that quickly after the original trailer released. I honestly think Marvel / Disney are expecting this to be a Billion Club movie

I feel like the movie's going to be more light-hearted than the trailer indicated, and we didn't really see that besides Blockbuster Video and CM punching that old lady in the face
Hopefully the next trailer lightens up a little
As for the box office potential, it's Marvel's first female-led movie, and it's coming out on International Women's Day. Maybe it won't do a billion, but it'll get close, especially if it's really good (which is more likely to happen than not, because Mahvel)
