OT: The Movie Thread

[Lord Defect]

This info shocked me today.

TG Maverick is expected to make approx 125 million in the 3 day opening. That will be Tom's biggest opening of his career.

His previous biggest was 65 million for War of the Worlds.

I would have thought one....even some...of his other movies would have opened to 100+ million.

Nah I can see that easily. Pandemic = no one going to the movies + everyone wanting to see the arguably first big summer movie since lockdowns.
How olds his last mission impossible movie, 5-8 years ago?

Last MI movie was 4 years ago.

The pandemic has no bearing on what I am surprised about. I expected that one of the MI movies, or another one, had better openings than they did. Like before TG Maverick, WOW was his top opening at 64 million. That's less than TMNT opening for example. Or Pitch Perfect 2. Or 2012. Or Sonic the Hedge 2.

Cruise is talked about as such a bankable star, I just expected he had to have a few movies that opened to 100+ million weekends....not his best at 64 million.

A friend of mine saw Top Gun and said it was the best movie he's seen in a decade lol

I'm definitely seeing it next weekend

I keep hearing incredible things from every person who has seen it so far. Hopefully the hype doesn't ruin it for us.

 

[Embiid]

Sounds like the hype is exactly that...hype.

I will watch it, but doubt it will be that great. I am sure it will be entertaining but can't see it being Oscar worthy...especially when Tom Cruise is in it....

Confession: I've never watched Top Gun. I saw it was on Netflix recently and decided to finally try watching it. I gave up like 15 minutes in. It was just Tom Cruise and a bunch of other dudes in Navy uniforms absolutely drenched in sweat.

WHY IS HE SO WET? IT'S DISGUSTING!

Sweatiest movies ever made?

Cool Hand Luke is my pick.

I enjoyed Top Gun: Maverick. I had some issues with it, but overall it was enjoyable.

I almost went and saw it by myself at the late showing the other day. I watched the original last night to prepare

 

[Beef Invictus]

This is your last day to watch The Warriors on Prime Video. I'm watching immediately.

Cyrus is proposing a truce. The Warriors have accepted. They're going to check it out.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Whoa every gang in the city is going. Gangs are famous for their elaborate costumes. The movie is now showing this very accurately.

 

[Beef Invictus]

This movie thinks "the stuff" is spray paint, not drugs

 

[Beef Invictus]

Great film score though.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Turnout for the gang meeting is huge! This is gonna go great, I can feel it. A real revolution for the people. Cyrus is a bold leader who will change the world

 

[Beef Invictus]

Cyrus is going to unify the gangs of the world and usher in a utopia

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh oops Cyrus died

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh no the killer is blaming the warriors! People believe him! Fiend!

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh no infighting! Not a good time!

 

[Beef Invictus]

The Warriors tagged a gravestone. Massive victory. Per gang-law they now own that rock.

 

[Beef Invictus]

This orange gang has excellent discipline and organization. Bath robes appear to signify authority.

Oh noooooooooo Central Gang Radio, which every gang member listens to obviously, has put a bounty on the Warriors! I fret.

 

[Beef Invictus]

The baseball gang, truly the greatest scourge of NY's streets.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Gangs are famous for having war buses

 

[Beef Invictus]

This skinhead gang is amazingly integrated

 

[Beef Invictus]

The Warriors think they've succeeded at escape. I have doubt.

Oh no! Fire! Sabotage?!
