My prediction is he will come crawling back to Barbara begging for another pay-check. His wealth (probably the main reason he was 'remain') is a lot less after the biggest political event since the Berlin Wall fell.bjmdds wrote:He's done now as Bond after that photo.
BTW my new favourite saying is 'I do not have a crystal ball. I am not a white witch'. I should use this in any casting rumour conversation.

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
Let Babs hire him or some other unconventional actor since she managed to cash in a DC Bond film. I stopped care about the franchise the day Pierce was horribly dismissed. Consider that he is the Bond to end all classic Bonds.bjmdds wrote: This ends any Bond talk.

The UK exited the EU. Now Cr-egg must exit the Bond role and allow Turner to take over and restore the franchise to Brosnan-esque acceptability once again.

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
In news that should surprise absolutely no one, Disney has no plans to end the Indiana Jones franchise after the upcoming fifth film. They may, however, have plans to reboot it. CEO Bob Iger says while we shouldn’t expect a Star Wars-style Indiana Jones universe, the series might head in a new “direction.”
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. At the moment, Disney is still developing Indiana Jones 5. The studio has already announced that Steven Spielberg will be back to direct, with Harrison Ford starring and John Williams scoring. Now we’ve learned that George Lucas will be back as well, serving as an executive producer.

Fbf I don't think ID4 2 will shatter records, based solely on the number of screen time showing up in my local area finding Dory has more screens than this movie

Do not upset FBF big O I am trying to calm him down over Turner being the new Bond. We need him calm. --------- Independence Day: Resurgence reportedly hauled in an estimated $4.0 million from last night’s opening shows, marking a modest start for the sequel.

I wonder why ID4 2 is not picking energy. I hope it's not the case with the rest of the world, especially in China.
Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
$48 million is not bad for a sequel to a 20-year-old movie that lacks one of the original's main stars.FormerBondFan wrote:I wonder why ID4 2 is not picking energy. I hope it's not the case with the rest of the world, especially in China.

Hiddleston is another Cr-egg faced loser as Bond Captain, which seem to be Broccoli's type.

it's not about energy fbf, or how good the movie is, IMO it's the number of times a day it shows.FormerBondFan wrote:I wonder why ID4 2 is not picking energy. I hope it's not the case with the rest of the world, especially in China.
In my area it's clear it's being throttled back. It has the same number of showings as the free state of jones or now you see me 2 . But it can't match BvS or marvel Numbers without the opportunity of the same number of showings

True, it's not doing awful yet, just depends on how well it holds. I don't think they advertised it enough but I know other people who like fbf we're excited to see the new movie last December

As for Independence Day: Resurgence, the 20-years-later, sci-fi sequel carries a reported budget of $165 million into a packed weekend. Fox isn't holding back when it comes to theaters as the film invades 4,067 theaters, which includes 3,242 3-D locations, 386 IMAX theaters and 450 premium large format (PLF). Heading into the weekend the studio is hoping for a $50 million opening, which would put it near the $54.5 million opening for Men in Black III and the $51 million opening for Prometheus. Both comparisons make sense considering their franchise roots and the extended amount of time between prior installments. Of course, 20 years for Independence Day is a lifetime compared to the ten years separating Men in Black from its previous installment and while 15 years separated Prometheus from Alien: Resurrection, the Alien vs Predator films at least kept the franchise in the social consciousness.
Whether this means a $50+ million weekend is what should be expected is tough to say. Given the fact the film received the green light with a budget that big, an opening closer to $80+ million is probably what "should" be expected, but this isn't necessarily a sequel of that sort. This isn't the Jurassic Park or Star Wars franchise and as much as fans may love Jeff Goldblum he isn't bringing audiences to theaters the way the return of Will Smith would have. This is a film selling the fact it's a sequel and it has giant special effects, effects that have become a dime a dozen nowadays which leaves one to wonder "What is it that makes Independence Day: Resurgence special?"
Upon evaluating all factors, including the film's performance on IMDb leading up to release compared to titles such as Godzilla, World War Z and Pacific Rim, a weekend anywhere from $40-55 million seems like a good range for high-low expectations. Mojo will be going in the middle with our forecast, expecting a weekend right around $48 million.
Hopefully working in the film's favor is its release this weekend on 21,700-23,000 screens in 60 international territories including seven of the top ten markets including South Korea, Australia, Brazil, Russia, UK, Mexico and China. After the result Warcraft saw internationally, compared to its domestic performance, it will be interesting to see how Independence Day plays out, though it will certainly have a much better domestic performance than the video game adaptation has seen.

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
BOM:Resurgence, which opened in 4,068 theaters this weekend and pulled in an estimated $16.8 million (including $4 million from Thursday night screenings) is on its way to an opening around $41-44 million, a poor opening given the film's $165 million budget. The film scored a "B" CinemaScore.--------sorry FBF, it's a bust. No more sequels for it.
Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
Best wait for the international grosses to come in before writing it off completely, but it's not looking great.
