It's already sitting $75mil under Love & Thunder's and $280mil under Multiverse for their total, world-wide runs. (Which is hard to get weekly data from).Newcomers are Strange World and Glass Onion, which is now in limited release. The Menu kept on holding on with the famous '40% drop week 2'.According to some websites, Strange World is bombing hard and set to lose $100mil, which at first glance I took with a grain of salt, because earlier this year, DC League of Super-Pets premiered to a "meagre" $23mil. And while it wasn't a runaway success initially, it had some long legs, (probably) turning a profit.The biggest difference between these two is the budget behind Strange World, which is reported as $180mil (which is the same as with most new IP's for Disney Animated movies) versus the reported $90mil from Super-Pets. So even if Strange World would follow in the footsteps of SP, it would probably still not turn a profit at the end of the road.Headlines of the weekA recent report alleges Disney's ex-CEO Bob Chapek attempted to make Disney+ appear more profitable by shifting the budgets of various projects.Albert Pyun, Cult Filmmaker Behind ‘Cyborg,’ ‘Nemesis’ and ‘Captain America,’ Dies at 69Irene Cara, the Oscar-winning singer of the title tracks to "Fame" and "Flashdance," has died at age 63, her publicist announced late Friday. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/76wNnxE

What is the greatest James Bond 007 theme song of all time?
The James Bond films are know for their original opening themes written by popular artists and are often played on the radio and tv. 'Live and Let Die' by Paul McCartney, 'For Your Eyes Only' by Sheena Easton, 'A View to a Kill' by Duran Duran, and 'Goldfinger' by Shirley Bassey are just a few. My personal favorite is 'Nobody Does It Better' by Carly Simon. What James Bond theme do you consider to be the best? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/Y1ZDk3X
Babe (1995) is one of the most wholesome gems of a movie ever
This movie...I have watched this movie countless times and never, not once, did it fail to make me smile.I cannot put into words (although I will try) how wholesome and beautifully kind this movie is. Babe is just this adorable, enchanting little soul and Farmer Hoggett is just as loveable.The locations and filming are so picturesque and everything looks like its part of a miniture town. So quaint and untouched by the outside world.Its mature, without being too overly dramatic. Childlike, without being childish. And still is so beloved by all I've showed it to.I adore this movie so much and after a day at work, where things just wouldn't go the way they should, this is the only movie I can put on to put my day right again. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/XBGJQuC
Prey (2022) was really damn good. Even my dad liked it.
(Just for note, we saw the regular English version.)Most people probably know what Predators (no, not those), or Yautjas, have gone up against. Jacked up, gun totin' MAYUN in the jungle, a Riggs-less Murtaugh in a drug and gang fueled L.A, two varying amounts of familiar armed people, and xenomorphs in Antarctica. But what about the Ye Olden Times?Prey rewinds the clock back 300 years to the Native American Comanche times to let us meet Naru, a Comanche medic. Sorry, healer is the correct term here. Even though she's teached in the ways of medicine, she wants to be a hunter, aided by her good buy Sarii. Out hunting, she sees a spaceship, which she believes to be a Thunderbird, something Wikipedia tells me is a legendary mighty creature for Native Americans. Determined it will be her way of proving herself as a hunter, she sets out to kill whatever it is. "If it bleeds, we can kill it." (Which I actually said right before the movie did.)At a tight 100 minutes with credits, the movie holds a tight pace. Tight movies are tight. The movie builds itself up to the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny. Introduce the fighters, show their abilities, have them cross paths, and boom boom boom, boom boom, badilla life.Amber Midthunder (who actually is Native American along with the other actors in the Comanche cast) is as strong in the role of Naru as Naru is in the movie. The Predator's threat is increasingly shown in the beautifully shot action scenes. My lord, this movie looks beautiful. The sound and music is great, building up the tension.Strong lead + beautiful camera work + great action + tight pace and runtime = A damn good and enjoyable hunt, ehrm, movie. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/YQ2LbZg
Sicario is one of my favorite films of the last decade and I was reading some threads on Twitter where people are saying it's a right wing propaganda movie. Do people not get the entire point of the movie is that the CIA is corrupt and Alejandro is a monster the entire time?
I was reading these threads about the movie being a right-wing nihilistic movie and I thought I was going crazy. Emily Blunt's character literally exists to give the movie a moral barometer. She's saying and observing what the audience wants to say and observe. The movie shows that there is no solution to the cartel situation, but doing things off the books and against protocol to " clean up" the streets is also fucked in many ways. I think anyone thinking they glorify the CIA's handling of everything or Bencio Del Toro's character simply did not pay attention to the movie or looked at the movie on the surface level. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/iSCxaPq

What movies make you go, "yeah, this is an objectively bad movie, but man I love this hot garbage"?
Mine is "Rock-a-Doodle", a much lesser known (for good reason) animated movie from Don Bluth about a Rooster who leaves a farm and becomes animal Elvis, basically.I went thru a phase with it on VHS as a kid back in the 1990s, and recently rewatched it when I saw it on a streaming service. It was like unlocking a core memory.The movie is utter tripe and abject chaos, but the absolute audacity of it puts a smile on my face to this day and I can't help but enjoy the fever dream of animation. Had an all star cast too, with Phil Harris, Glenn Campbell (yes, the singer), Ellen Greene, and Christopher Plummer. Of course, despite these big names, the main character is a 6 year old child actor who screams bloody murder every 5 seconds.Wild ass movie.What are some of your shit movies you can't help but love? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/RKtdJkO
