The media is touting this as the highest grossing opening weekend of the franchises, but adjusted for inflation, the original grossed $61.7 opening weekend.

I think that 4,145 locations might also have something to do with it. That seems higher than most movies.

It's an action chick flick from what I understand. My daughter wants to see it but I doubt I will.

I could not make it through Atomic dumb Blond. It's not like it was Tank Girl or Tomb Raider(2001).

If I cared about Hollywood and it’s success I would go but I don’t so I won’t. It could have billion dollar opening and it would no longer impress me. I used to be a big movie fan years ago. Going was a lot of fun. No longer. It shocks me how indifferent I am now to what is being offered. The last movie I went to in theatre was The Last Jedi and that pretty much killed the Star Wars fan in me. In what might be called collateral damage the rest of moviedom is also close to dead for me as well. The rest of the mass media complex is also in the same sinking boat.

I think the one thing that can’t be countered is Sandra Bullock is one of the most likable actresses on screen.

She is, pretty much, today’s George Clooney.

Since this is an offshoot and not an attempt to remake there isn’t the anger we saw at Ghostbusters.

Just chalk it up as another chick flick like the that Yaya Sisters of Traveling pants.

Don’t be surprised if hey start integrating from both sides of the Franchise.

Just my 2 cents after watching the industry for all these years.

The original remake of 11 was awesome. The original was awesome.Oceans 12 was a disappointment and 13 was pretty good.

I’ll give this one a shot.

I could care less if it has all women leads. Is it SJW junk or a good entertaining story well told?

YEah, with ticket prices always going up, and considering inflation, every year its fairly easy to beat a previous years movie.

Gone With the Wind is the highest selling movie of All Time.

I just checked and this picture had a $70 Million budget so they may make their money back. I see there have oped this film is as many locations as possible which leads me to believe they are trying to make as much as they can fast because this picture is going to fade quickly.

Question is will this thing play overseas?

My guess is the drop off next weekend will be at least 60% or more.

Awkwafina?

Sounds like some kind of upper colonic.

I find it easy shorthand to go to Rotten Tomatoes and quickly compare the Left and Right (how appropriate) ratings numbers:

Left = Commiewood Critics. Right = Regular Folks.

L > R = High PC Quotient.

L < R = Low PC Quotient.

Not perfect, but it serves me well.

Well “Ocean’s 8” did pull in just about $41.5 Million and that will the high point. Next week it will drop about 65% and head on it’s way to Pay per View by the end of July.

It had a budget of about $70 Million so they may break even on this thing, will depend on overseas Box Office.
