Box office grosses are down 15% from last year. To be expected when Hollywood continues to churn out crappy sequels, reboots, and remakes. Only Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is doing well of the new releases. And not to mention all of the actors who alienated audiences with their political comments.

Good news. Anything that hurts the Left Coast elite is jake with me.

Good

Feel-good story of the day!

Because America’s hero’s do not wear capes; they wear dog tags.

Die, Hollywood, Die!

I wonder how much of the price of a movie ticket goes directly to funding pedophilia.

Sure, blame it on the holiday weekend. Or Trump. Or global warming.

Here, I could hardly drive down our street what with all the vacationers blocking the road a bit ago. There are a lot on the water but not as many as in the past so guess everyone is inside under the A/C and their noses stuck in their phones.

[Bratch]

I suspect that will change next weekend.

Doesn’t bother me none. If Wonder Woman tanks next weekend Hollywood will be in deep do-do.

Movies suck today. What we need is more superhero movies and remakes. When are they going to remake the Godfather for crying out loud or Casablanca? Or even Citizen Kane? All these movies need to be remade. They should even remake all the remake movies that just came out, like the King Kong remake that came out this year, they shouldn't have even released that, they should have made 5 more remakes and released the remake of the remake of the remake of the remake of the remake.

This is one of the ways to fight back against the left. Hit the lefties in Hollyweird in the pocketbook. Don’t waste any more of your hard earned money on the filth and crap they put on the big screen!

Every other week or so my wife and I like to go eat dinner at a Mexican place and then go to a movie. We like the mindlessness of an action movie with Vin Deisel or an avenger movie. It’s just a fun night out together. This has been a regular thing for 34 years.

For the past month we’ve struggled to find a movie we “want” to see.

This is usually high time for releases. This year they are all dogs.

I don’t think there has been an original thought out of Hollywood in years.

Every decade or so, Hollywood comes up with a plot to get people to return to movie theaters. Well made movies that don't lecture or present an agenda or substitute quality and excellence with over-the-top special effects and mind-numbing violence. That's what will get traditional movie goers to return.

Now, even when there might be an occasional such movie, it gets next to no publicity or screens. Meanwhile, the latest movie about comic book characters blowing each other up can have six screens!

Blinders falling off...HELLywood is evvvvvil and anti America!!! Not one red cent!!! Husband was given a movie theater gift card...it’s still sitting in a drawer!!

[DakotaGator]

Memorial Day weekend would seem like the best time for a big summer blockbuster to hit the theaters, but in recent years audiences have been focusing more on their tans and grillmaster skills over the holiday than going to a movie theater.

What drivel! Hollywood is not making movies people wish to see. Don't blame the customer for poor quality product!

Alien Covenant. Nowhere near as good as Prometheus. If you didn’t like Prometheus, you’ll hate this sequel.

Not deserving of the mantel of “Alien”. BY FAR, the worst “Alien” movie.

[Nifster]

Precisely

[PCPOET7]

if you go to the movies on a regular basis you will notice something missing (young people) most the movie goers I see at the matinee are over 40 in age or young mothers with even younger kids. Hollywood does not understand that the 14 to 30 year old age group only shows up for movie spectacles. if they want to return movie goers to the theaters they are going to have to rethink the formula that brings in the young or look at the age group that is going and start making movies they want to see. I would love to see some historical movies. re examine the movies from the eighties and nineties and ask what made them successful but please Hollywood don’t remake the movie.

It’s because the movies out this weekend stunk:
(Rotten Tomatoes ratings)
- Baywatch: 19%
- Pirates of the Caribbean: 32%
- War Machine: 52%

The rest were either art house junk or had no significant set of critiques.
