Nah, it's been invalidated several times and yet they hopelessly cling to it as if it still meant something. And if some LGBTQ+ friendly film happens to bomb or at least not make that much profit, they will parrot it once again with further gusto.
It could have done without the car chase Chevy ad, but I thought overall it was far above my expectations. Not surprised it's doing well, the whole movie theatre were laughing out loud.
I thought it was pretty fun and enjoyable. My GF thought it was a bit boring though. Not for everyone surely, and I think it could have been better but still a solid 7/10 by me
Just finished watching it maybe ~2 hours ago. I agree with the 7/10. There were parts that were boring (and imo cringey), but overall it was interesting. Nothing game breaking and could be better, but still a good watch.
Well it’s not something I like so what arbitrary metric can I use to dismiss this accomplishment?
Ugh, there's that mean-spirited, "let's assume the worst about people" attitude I hoped we left at reddit.
I'm a cinephile with an interest in film history and I want to know where the new film stands on this list.
If it knocks out Gone With The Wind, that has real implications not just for cinema history, but as an indicator of the health of the movie theater industry.
I also stated that I want to see the film, so assuming I'm trying to "dismiss" it isn't reasonable.
strange that two weeks ago the opening was like 150 mil a giant success, but maybe that just goes to predict or correlate with this number in some way. Giant opening means great buzz, means more sales. etc. guess it worked out. I need to watch it but probably will just do so at home.
I thought it was very mediocre, even disregarding how gross it is as a transparent advertising vehicle that tries to lampshade its intent with a few throwaway lines about capitalism being bad.
It seemed like a cash grab from the trailer and yet you paid to see it in the movie theater, and helped it set a record, which is what this article is about.
