Wall-e was a great film, possibly even Michael Crawford's best.....after Condor man of course.
I couldn't work out what that sentence meant - never realised it was Michael Crawford in the archie footage!
Have you seen "Chappie"?!
No, but what Elysium convinced me of is that he’s a potentially brilliant director in dire need of a great script. If there’s a spark of what Neumeier and Miner brought to the first movie left in this screenplay, it might be the one.
God. If there was ever a director who might make me feel kindly disposed towards a new Robocop movie, it’s Blomkamp. It’s got his sensibilities written all over it. I can’t believe I didn’t see that before.
Luke's pretty much bound to be in it anyway isn't he? You can't keep a good force ghost down.
I recall the only major concern was the dropoff in Chinese ticket sales, though that would likely have little to do with grumpy Star Wars fanboys as the property doesn't have the pop-cultural lineage over there that it does in the West.
The implication would be, along with the subsequent blu ray sales...
It's an incomplete picture, though. Blu-Ray sales were 56% down from The Force Awakens –in the US– but that is not an accurate picture in itself since general sales of all physical discs have dropped approx. 10% every year since 2015 because of the rise in subscription streaming and digital purchase, so unless you get the worldwide total including all platforms, it's hard to know what the actual 'sales' drop-off is.
Just for clarity, I was talking about cinema attendance drop off rates, NOT comparing total box office of each movie to its previous movie. The drop off rates for last jedi were reportedly more than double (70-80%) that of Empire strikes back (20-30%) in its second week. The drop off rates were much higher than any star wars movie.
Apologies SIP, misread you there.
(That may in part be confirmation bias on my part because the family and I went back 3 times, including twice to IMAX, and I bought the BluRay! I even bought some of the shitty 5POA toys, 'cos who could live without matching Rose & Paige Tico action figures. Now if only I could scare up a few quid for Tallie's A-Wing... )
