Look! An Undead Movie Column: New Releases of 9/15/17
Posted: September 14th, 2017, 2:15 pm
IT dominated and made the box office float again.... Reese Witherspoon couldn't figure out how to counter-program successfully and Rebel tried and blah blah blah.....
American Assassin is trying too hard to look cool, which means it's terrible. while seeing advertisement for the movie everywhere, It'll have trouble getting past $10M. Partly because IT is sucking out all the air ( to fill his balloons) at the box office, but mostly because it'll suck donkey balls.
Storyline
Mitch Rapp (O'Brien), 23, lost his parents to a tragic car accident at the age of 14, as well as his girlfriend to a terrorist attack just as they were engaged. Seeking revenge, he is enlisted by CIA Deputy Director Irene Kennedy (Lathan) as a black ops recruit. Kennedy then assigns Cold War veteran Stan Hurley (Keaton) to train Mitch. Together they will later on investigate a wave of apparently random attacks on military and civilian targets. The discovery of a pattern in the violence leads them to a joint mission with a lethal Turkish agent, Annika (Negar), to stop a mysterious operative, nicknamed "Ghost" (Kitsch), intent on starting a world war in the Middle East.
I’ll predict a $10M OW and $25M overall.
mother! looks insane, said to be loosely based on Rosemary's Baby, but i don't really see the connection. guess you have to watch the movie to find out. The reviews have been wild, some loving, some hating it. Not that that is unusual for Aronofsky. Again though, It seems to have no chance to breakout against IT. Maybe everyone is hoping for long legs or maybe Lawrence and Aronofsky need to release a sex tape to try to steal some headlines away from IT. You can't tell me Darren hasn't directed one of those. I'll wait for the reviews before i decide to watch it...
Storyline
A young woman's (Jennifer Lawrence) tranquil life with her husband (Javier Bardem) at their remote country home is challenged by an unnamed couple (Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer) who arrive and lodge with them.
I predict an opening of $9M with a total of $30M.
Hello. What? that's the wrong poster? oh yes you're so right, i'm sorry.
Here it is
Really can't get a read on Brad's Status or Because of Gracia, both will have middling IMDb scores, and might garner a PTA or 2 if they're lucky. save your money for some weed.
My predictions for the weekend of September 15 - 17, 2017:
1. IT $48M
2. American Assassin $10M
3. mother! $9M
4. Home Again $5M
5. The Hitmans Bodyguard $2M (how many top5 is that now?)
PTA:
5. IT
4. mother!
3. Dolores
2. American Assassin
1. Because of Gracia
Next week we have 2 films vying for glory and money and power, The Last Kingsman 2 and Ninjango Narruto, wait whats it called? Also a movie called Friend Request, which about 5 years too late, nowadays people just follow people. Also Battle of the Sexes wants to make a splash...
The Octopus always finds his nemesis so distracting. it sure does doesn't it..... sorry about losing my post again. I'll do better again next time, I promise, i just really didn't want to find all those quotes again. it takes forever, plus no one is guessing... should i keep the quotes for next time?
