I have not forgot how bad "Beverly Hills Cop 3" was, it is one of the very worst films I have seen. |

| Apparently no "big" movies being released this weekend.
Coming in June:
BAD BOYS 4 (Will Smith) INSIDE OUT 2 A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE
I can't recall a summer this low key since the 1990s. |

| Really horrible weekend at the box office with Garfield making an additional 13 M and Mad Max about 11 M. The latter cost almost 170 M to make |

| For anyone needing a "big shark eats people" movie this summer and Meg 3 hasn't been made yet, tune into Netflix's new #1 entry "Under Paris". Now I did not find it as good as some reviews seem to imply, not one of the best shark movies ever, but it's entertaining enough for the runtime. Lots of floating body parts and the most rewarding character is the girl who will kind of remind you of Greta Thunberg. Things don't turn out too well for Faux Thunberg. The actual plot could have been a bit more logical of course, but the French actors, none of whom I really know, have a nice chemistry together and you will finish it if you are inclined to put it on. This sort of stuff is why streaming will win. |

| Godzilla Minus One also just showed up on Netflix. Maybe we should start a thread just for films released for streaming.
I liked it, but it was really more of a war/family drama and Godzilla was kind of a prop to pull everyone together. I'm happy I didn't go to the theatre to see it, even though the visuals would have had more weight. The Godzilla design looked less impressive than the rival Godzilla to me. Of course, this film cost a lot less and still had good enough effects.
It was the personal story that was most compelling here. Also, the version I saw was dubbed fairly well and only sub-titles were available when it first came out. It's worth a watch for the acting and story even if you aren't into Godzilla. |

| I guess audiences are easing up on Will Smith as Bad Boys 4 hits $56M for the weekend. Looks like IF should hit the $100M mark. ____________________ Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's valuable.

| Ok I know I said Fall Guy was probably a good movie....I lied. I always make fun of how Hollywood fails to depict any career field correctly. Fall Guy fails to even remotely depict Hollywood in any realistic frame of reference. It would have been much better if it did. Also watched Boy Kills World....AMAZING!! Imagine an ultra violent dystopian world narrated by ARCHER. ____________________ Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's valuable.

| Planet of the Apes has passed the 150 M mark domestically. Bad Boys is likely to be only the 6th film to make it to 100 M in the days ahead. |

| IF is going to cross that line this weekend as well. quote: Originally posted by Tommy C: Planet of the Apes has passed the 150 M mark domestically. Bad Boys is likely to be only the 6th film to make it to 100 M in the days ahead.

| Inside Out 2 grossed 155 M domestically this weekend, the biggest 3 day opening since Barbie last summer. This was the first film of 2024 to open at more than 100 M |

| I think Inside Out 2 found our missing movie audience. The Bikeriders looks interesting but not worth a trip to the theater. ____________________ Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's valuable.

| Inside Out 2 just passed Dune to become the #1 film of the year domestically. It will pass 300 M in another day or so |
