RIPPA Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I am going by what I am seeing on Twitter so I am not sure how many of these are official critics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 9 (7 fresh, 2 rotten) with those two rotten being from top critics. IMO too early call if it's going to trickle in slowly. Considering how badly a lot of these films got trashed early on, it could be significantly worse though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Spider-Man did $117M but I think it's a bit front loaded, the Sunday drop wasn't great. It could fall behind Wonder Woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the only person in North America that is stupid enough to want to go and see that movie. I have a complete set of the graphic novels in my man cave. Valerian is a beloved part of my adolescent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 It seems to be a very polarizing movie, which is interesting. The majority of the early reviews are positive, but those who don't like it really think it's terrible. Dane DeHaan is having quite the year for weird movies, with Cure For Wellness and now this. I wasn't planning on seeing it and probably still won't, but if a friend was trying to get me to go, I wouldn't say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with the source material, but I'm up for a good new science fiction property. And am still holding out hope that it's good.

Elsalvajeloco Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Fortunately for most of you, Girls Trip wasn't on the list of available of films for this year's contest. Currently, 8 out of 8 fresh reviews on RT. It seems like people really love Tiffany Haddish, which it is funny because she kinda struggled to make a name for herself as a standup for years and it seemed like being on the Carmichael Show for however brief it lasted was probably going to be the highlight of her entire career. Good for her considering I remember her being on Foxxhole Radio almost a decade ago and being known as a female comic who was destined to toil as an opener/middle.

Kevin Wilson Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hopefully with Cars 3 doing poorly (currently #17 of 18 Pixar movies) it will be the last in the series. I enjoy Pixar but more when they are being creative, don't think anyone was really clamoring for another Cars movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Incredibles 2 is coming out next summer. It has a release date and everything (June 15, 2018) In fact - concept art was released earlier this week So not sure why you are still doubting its existence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbarrie Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I find his skeptical attitude refreshing. Myself, I'll believe it exists when I'm in the theater and a full hour into its runtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was stunned recently rewatching the second season of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' seeing her as a random stripper with about two lines of dialogue.

Every now and then I see like a Luenell show up in Taken or Borat as an under five, and it will weird me the fuck out. Then someone like Leslie Jones, who was doing standup forever it seemed like, gets a gig on SNL and blows up from there. It's like the inverse of a Issa Rae who was popular on the internet for like 2 or 3 years max among a certain section of black folks and then boom...got her own show on HBO. Never know when it's your time, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.K.o.S. Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Post-weekend, Spider-Man Homecoming has $207.3 million after 10 days in theaters. Wonder Woman had $206.3 million after 10 days so that's shaping up to be a close race. (Spider-Man started out $12 million ahead on its first day, but it's been flagging a little.)
