Probably not. Unless it gets another 60% drop when Halloween hits. Sony is going to push anything close to 200M over 200M.

Wow, Hitch is a lot more popular than I thoughtCRA is gonna break into top 5 Rom Coms of all time
Well, Venom 2 is happening then. I can't be in denial anymore.

Everything about First Man should be right up my alley, but I can't muster much excitement towards watching it. Anyone else ever felt that way about a movie?

I think sites are being a little too pessimistic about with the Venom drop. I think it will be only a 40% drop. I base this on nothing.
I love space. I love Claire Foy. Ryan Gosling is an okay actor with a pretty choice of movies. Damien Chazelle is a good director.
But yeah, I am kinda in the same boat as you. It doesn't seem that exciting to me but I'll probably still watch it.

kswiston as head Canadian around here, do you think A Wyre movie would work now that Venom is a hit?
I like how that guy can impale superpeople with wires, but still packs a gun on his back.

Tracking was around $20M going into this weekend. It might come in a bit higher or lower than that, but I wouldn't expect big numbers. Probably third or fourth for the weekend depending on Goosebumps: Ken Jeong edition.
Sounds about right. Wonder where the budget is at. It doesn't seem to be doing much new but I like most of what I've seen. Quiet character study movie is gonna be received quietly.

I think that I read that the budget was in the mid 60s after tax breaks. First Man seems to be in awards contention for now, so legs will likely be decent. A $20M opening could easily translate to $80-100M domestic, which would be good on that budget.
I'm curious what parts those were. I heard that before seeing it a couple days ago and I feel like I laughed at what I was supposed. Was a fun bad movie
I wonder how First Man will do at the box office.
Are conservatives still pissy about the American flag not being in?

This is hyperbolic. Being slightly lower during one week day means nothing. Especially since Venom skews younger.
Venom is def showing a little weakness but it's still drawing good numbers overall. There's probably a relatively limited pool of potential late comers who are into seeing a 'bad but entertaining movie' and it's also likely to be a little soft on repeats from the hardcore.
I saw it, it was bad, but the more unique parts were by far the highlights. My friends and GF all also laughed a LOT abd had a great time. I was thoroughly entertained and if the director does come back I hope that they really let Tom Hardy and him turn it to 11 on the weird quickness.
I liked it so much that I'll be picking it up on BR, but I doubt I'll see it in theaters again. So much of the appeal of the movie is just basking in the mush mash of forced by the numbers stuff juxtapositions by moments of hilarity, weirdness, and Tom Hardy somehow making you care about him and this Frankenstein of a production that looks so shoddy and cheap in parts that you can't believe it only cost 3 more than Logan.
Had the Sony suits let them go further I think that the movie could have been legitimately good, and there Is a solid hour of 3 different legitimately good films in there.

I'm pretty sure that the Tom Hardy cut needs to see the light of day, and it will be glorious. I've rarely seen such a bad movie also elevate my opinion of an actor so drastically.

The funny thing is that it's still got the flag in it and it's still CLEARLY America who's leading the space program. The movie is a fucking character study on Neil Armstrong not American history porn, conservatives are pathetic.
getting Bridge of Spies/The Post vibes from First Man's potential audience and box office, with the added exception of IMAX screens
getting flop vibes from Bomba Times at the El Royale. Its hard out here for original R-rated genre movies, especially mystery ones. Only thing they could market was Hemsworth's abs.

Bad times at the el royale was superb and I'll be crushed if it bombs, easily my favorite type of film and this one was a complete banger :(
Hemsworth hasn't been able to have much success outside the MCU besides Rush I think. Wonder how Men in Black does.
Agreed - genuinely the best movie I've seen all year. I really hope it does well - my Thursday screening was about 3/4 full, but nobody else I've talked to has even heard of it.

A Ding Dong Ditch it where you ring someone's door bell and leave a bag of poo behind. They open the door and only find a bag of shit.
I assume that's what this writer meant.
Ryan Reynolds just has not charisma and El Royale marketing is terrible.
Lol. No, it's when you ring the doorbell (ding dong) and then run away (ditch).
The reviewer meant to run away from the movie.
