The Unholy Dragon Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 My wife has been super pumped for Valerian so I'm glad to see it getting solid reviews as I will almost certainly end up seeing it in theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 It's a very close race for the top Rotten Tomatoes spot. War for the Planet of the Apes 198/209 = 94.74% Baby Driver 233/246 = 94.72% Dunkirk 104/110 = 94.55% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm more worry about Dunkirk's box office. It might do too well which is against my interest... Critics really like the Planets of the Apes movie. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of the reboot movies after the shitty Marky Mark joint were awesome. They just don't show up in theaters soon enough for anyone to remember how good the franchise actually is.

Dunkirk is my tie breaker, so it is in my best interest that it be somewhat well received and make not too huge of a splash in the box office. It's already getting rave reviews so that will work against me, but I think that Valerian's positivity will work even more against me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Depending on who you believe - Valerian is projected to make between $16-$18 million (box office mojo) or $20 million (INDUSTRY INSIDERS~!) this weekend. So base your reaction to that on where you placed it Again - this is another movie that is going to be "successful" because of its international box office as it apparently as already made 90% of its budget back before its US release But man is it opening on an absolute brutal weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Oh and Valerian has dropped to 58% on RT so we might want to pump the breaks on promoting its "positivity" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 58% isn't Certified Fresh, but it's not Baywatch / The Mummy levels of Rotten either and it is going to take a lot of negative reviews to drag Valerian's RT rating down that low. Dunkirk's RT has "slid down" a bit to 92%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unholy Dragon Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I did not see that coming. More importantly though, I don't see it lasting. Absolutely positive Dunkirk is going to tank me.

There is a lot to like and a lot not to like about it. The war part of the movie is absolutely brilliant and heartbreaking, but the manner in which the story is told is far better suited for his non-fiction movies like The Dark Knight joints and Inception. Yes, Chris. I realize that time in real life runs non-sequitur, but when I read bedtime stories to my kid, I didn't not fucking "meanwhile" between Goldilocks tasting porridge and the Bears talking a walk in the woods every five minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.K.o.S. Posted July 26, 2017 Author Share Posted July 26, 2017 Still unsure which way Emoji Movie is going to fall. Everyone hears the title of the movie, ranks it low on their RT lists Then everyone sees the trailer, and starts worrying because it actually looks like it could be very good Now we are 2 days away from release with no reviews out yet, which suggests it's going to be bad, like everyone thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that a lot of us have this movie ranked pretty low, so this revelation does not fill me with confidence about regaining a spot in the Top 5.

The Unholy Dragon Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Welp. As someone who expected it to be more middling than awful, that's not great news. I'm just hoping other folks' RT ballots didn't have it dead last to split that difference a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 FUCK. I really needed to replace Wonder Woman with All Eyez on me on my RT list. I had Eyez way too high and Wonder Woman way too low. Other than that it's not a bad RT list. Shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
