03-17-2017 - Beauty and the Beast (Disney's live-action adaptation that will make all the money)

It's going to be insane how much money this movie will make. My prediction is that this movie will end up in the top 10 all-time worldwide box-office. If not top 10, then damn close. And it will propel Emma Watson into the A list of actresses.

I have not seen any of the previous Disney live-action remakes, yet even I'm anticipating this with that cast.

Agreed. When it beat The Force Awaken's trailer view record, that was just confirmation that it's going to be ridiculously massive.

Hope not. She is very annoying and self aggradizing as is.

Why is there a movie crossover with MIB and Jump Street? Was there really a call for this, or are they just trying to see what they can get away with?

So the Rock has three blockbusters coming out in the span of 3 1/2 months? Pretty f-ing impressive.


Anybody else and I'm rolling my eyes. But because it's the Rock , I hope they make a billion dollars each. I don't even like his movies, but I like to see him be successful.

Actually, you know what caught my eye among all of that?


07-21-2017 - Valerian and the City of a Thousand Faces (Luc Besson's return to big-budget, space opera sci-fi)

To this day I love The Fifth Element, and if he can come close to that it'll be fantastic. An original, unusual, clever, fun space action movie. Yes, I know we just had Guardians of the Galaxy, but that's tied into the whole Marvel universe. If Besson can give us another completely outside-the-box movie like Fifth Element....awesome!
I love Luc Besson. I'm still waiting on Portman to do a sequel to The Professional.

I'm with you completely, but we better hope that the movie does well...

If it does bomb and with Jupiter Ascending still lingering in studio's minds, we probably wouldn't get anymore big budget sci fi movies for the foreseeable future (except for Star Wars of course).


Also, I dont know what it is but something about Cara Delevigne just bugs me. I kind of want her to get punched in the face by another girl.

Holy ****! I never thought about it, but a sequel to the Professional with Portman's character grown up and a hit man in her own right?! FANTASTIC!

And yeah, Carla Delawhatever doesn't do it for me either. Those f'n eyebrows!

Basically, they're rebooting MIB with a new crew (which could potentially be the same continuation as the original franchise, just a "next generation" kind of thing - either way, no Will Smith) who will partner with Tatum and Hill for some reason, to take down some aliens. They're essentially taking the end-credit shtick in 22 Jump Street and running with it. And honestly, it kind of makes sense, considering those movies are hilarious, and this is really the only "logical" way to continue the franchise - while also milking what's left of the MIB franchise. Usually, I'd be totally against this sort of thing, but for whatever reason, it really does sound legit hilarious.

It's so ridiculous and so spot on brilliant at the same time. I can't wait.

So I was looking at the 2016 box office so far, and Disney is just absolutely killing it. They hold the top 3 spots in the worldwide BO.

1. Civil War - $1.14 B
2. Zootopia - $1 B
3. Jungle Book - $909 million

And they still have Finding Dory and Rogue One. The only "flop" they've had so far is Alice 2, which is barely over $200 m. But from the looks of it, I doubt they're that heartbroken about it.

Is it possible they have 3 or even 4 billion dollar movies in one year?

I think the MiB/ Jump Street crossover is brilliant. My first reaction was definitely a big giant WTF, but the more I've thought about it, the more excited about it I get. Those two characters thrown into that world has the potential to be absolutely hilarious and I really do think it's a good way to get more out of those characters without hitting a lot of the same material over and over again.

I thought I heard that a sequel to Frozen was coming out in 2017. Is that no longer happening? Because I suspect it would do pretty well.

There's no concrete news yet, but word is 2018. No way it'll be ready by next year.

WTF IS THAT??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

It's one of the first big U.S./China joint productions, made primarily with the Chinese audience in mind. American director and American star, but I think nearly every other facet of the production/cast is Chinese, save for a few other relatively key pieces. And yes, it looks absolutely terrible. Damon must have been paid a fortune to do it.
