Movies/TV Movie Box Office, Releases, and Discussion

Movies Coming Soon August 5th, 2016 ​


08/05/16
Nine Lives (2016)
Plot: An uptight businessman finds himself with nine lives... when he finds himself transformed into the family cat, and he's not exactly happy with the furry change of scenery.

08/05/16
Suicide Squad (2016)
Plot: You know them as the most devious and dangerous super villains of our time: Deadshot, Killer Croc, El Diablo, Enchantress, Slipknot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang and The Joker... but the government knows them as The Suicide Squad - recruiting the baddest people on the planet for black ops missions in return for clemency. But how can you control those who have no control of their own?
 
From what I can tell, Nine Lives looks like The Shaggy Dog but with a dude turning into a cat instead of a dog. Probably not going to see it. Suicide Squad looks pretty good and now that it's coming out we can stop writing internet articles about Jared Leto being weird and I know a bunch of people who want to see it.

Also going to see Lights Out sometime this week with my dad and sister, looking forward to it!
 
NERVE was really good, surprised that it got the no. 8 spot. Anyway, not interested in the two movies that are about to come out, I'll probably watch Nine Lives though when it comes out on television.

I honestly wasn't expecting Suicide Squad to be number one, given that I've heard like, nothing good about it from anyone I know who saw it. Disappointing because I was looking forward to it.

I've heard surprisingly positive things about Sausage Party now that it's out. I'm mildly curious, but the shaky cam is probably still a dealbreaker.

Click to expand...

The reported budget was $65 million, and that doesn't take into account additional costs like marketing, distribution, etc. It won't be a massive flop on the scale of The BFG, but unless it performs significantly better at the international box office, it won't be much of a success story either.
