HSX wrong again! {nm} Moviesnob Jul 01, 18:54

D+ Day is likely in early September I'd expect them to hold it to then ala THOR4. (July 8th - September 8th in that example) {nm} notfabio Jul 01, 19:01

GOTG3 physical media date is August 1st which I anticipate will also be the D+ date. {nm} notfabio Jul 01, 19:04

TOP GUN 2 continues to mystify {nm} Moviesnob Jul 01, 19:07

No matter what it does but had way better reviews, no divisive sequel, significantly less competition and a lead who doesn't need CGI notfabio Jul 01, 19:22

Remind me how many people picked TOP GUN #1 last summer {nm} Moviesnob Jul 02, 11:36

Heroic character allowed to be heroic, man allowed to be competent and masculine, young men repeatedly go see it, a wonder for the ages {nm} Fitch3k Jul 01, 23:10

Yes its a cliche. Pt is the cliche isn't working (as well) for most movies now (vs recent past) so why did it for the few (incl TG2) it did? Tallwonder Jul 02, 01:35

Literally the exact opposite happen. The longer it played the more women went to see it {nm} Moviesnob Jul 02, 11:37

So women like strong male characters too? Good. Time to bring them back and end this incompetent male + hyper aggressive female experiment {nm} Fitch3k Jul 02, 13:26

fo what its worth i grew up with indy and owned the vhs sneak Jul 02, 04:15

The nostalgia for more Indiana Jones already happened in 2008. {nm} Antibody Jul 02, 08:30

and nobody was particularly nostalgic for it then, even before it turned out meh {nm} my mate paul Jul 02, 12:50

so will INDY5 2nd weekend be worse than FLASH? I think INDY5 will be on fumes too next weekend worse than FLASH. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Jul 01, 22:59

Most of the main movie goers were not even born when INDI1 came out, have no history with the movie = less interest. {nm} Flash Jul 02, 07:42

Same could be said for Top Gun, only 5 years younger. {nm} Antibody Jul 02, 08:50

It will be interesting to see how M:I plays out. $290 million budget & last one did $220 in US. jonjon Jul 02, 10:22

studios have mostly come to Jesus on streaming alone being an unsustainable model. not sure they’re in the same place yet on collapsing the my mate paul Jul 02, 13:55

still a work in progress but we'll hopefully get there {nm} Moviesnob Jul 02, 14:02
