Movies/TV Movie Box Office, Releases, and Discussion

I, um...I actually want to go see "Sausage Party"...my mom wants to see it too.

By all means, don't let our grumbling stop you. It'll appeal to some people and not to others, like everything else. There's always the chance that it might actually turn out to be quite good.

It'll be the fourth R-rated film I'll see in theaters, the others being "Jackass 3D" (mom made me go), "Ted 2" and "Deadpool".

 

[Sunsette]

Well if you like comedies in that vein, there's a good chance you'll like Sausage Party too. I hope you do enjoy it if you go to see it, at least. Doubt I will, since I'm not a huge comedy fan in the first place and as I said, shaky cam does nothing good for me.

Yes! Finding Dory is no. 1 again

To bad The BFG didn't at least make the second spot, but to be fair it was another Disney movie released after one of the most anticipated sequel to an amazing Disney film; it still did pretty good though. I'll still see it regardless, same with The Legend of Tarzan.

 

[Sunsette]

So is The Purge: Election year good? I see it's doing pretty well at the box office.

So is The Purge: Election year good? I see it's doing pretty well at the box office.

Out of all the Purge movies it had the best opening for midnight showing, so it might be pretty good. Not sure if I'll see it though, the first one was pretty good, but the second one wasn't as good imo.

 

[Sunsette]

I felt both the previous Purge movies were sort of a letdown, the first one felt like it really didn't capitalize on its premise like it should have, and I didn't really care for the main characters in the second. If I hear good things about Election Year though, I might give it a chance.

 

[Avapatch]

The Legend of Tarzan - Budget $180 million - FAIL
The Purge: Election Year - Budget $10 million - SUCCESS, get ready for 4, 5, 6
The BFG - Budget $140 million - FAIL

Movies Coming Soon July 8th, 2016​

07/08/16
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates
Plot: A pair of hard-partying brothers think they have the perfect solution to getting dates for their sister's Hawaiian wedding - the wonders of an online ad. But the ad goes viral and just when they think they've settled on the perfect match, they find out they may be outmatched in the game.

07/08/16
The Secret Life of Pets
Plot: Max is the lord of his Manhattan castle - being an only pet has its advantages after all. But when his owners bring home an uncouth mongrel, Duke, it changes the dynamics. Yet the two will have to learn how to get along, especially when they discover a plot by the adorable, maniacal rabbit Snowball to unleash the wrath of abandoned animals everywhere on unsuspecting pet owners.

 

[Avapatch]

The Secret Life of Pets should do well
Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates looks dumb, so it will do fair.

I don't know if I can watch the new Amityville without seeing Bella Thorne as her character from that Disney show she was on. The pitfalls of being a child star.

 

[Tactician Karina]

Seriously, another Amityville movie? We already have enough movies about the damn house and it's murders, I hate how they made it into a movie series.

 

[Sunsette]

At this point, they don't have much to do with the Amityville case itself besides names. It's basically brand recognition for haunted house movies, and given how a lot of the movies haven't been great, they could probably do better without the brand.

^Not sure what that movie is, but it looks really weird tbh.

Shaky cam?

Secret Life of Pets looks so cute, definitely going to see that when I can. Finding Dory is #3 now, but that's still really good, I kind of figured that the pets movie would take the #1 spot this time.
