The Justice League review thread will probably be amazing but won't reach the crazy heights of the BvS thread.
Lets test that theory.
Yeah everyone already has their pre-written talking points
It's just a matter of which way the wind blows

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
Only way is if the movie is really, really bad.
Heights?

The last time I got involved WB sent agents to try and kill me

WB's got snipers on you like all those poor Marvel actors who cry out for help during interviews.

I'd like to take this time to remind people that I have dibs on the JL Review Thread. And to bring popcorn.
Can we make box office predictions for JL?
OW - 201.234 million.
Dom - 999.99 million
WW - 3.14 billion.

Deadline mentioned that only 9% of American Made's audience was under 25. Lower than I expected. Wolf of Wall Street seemed to catch on with the college set, but maybe Jonah and Leo helped there. I was sorta expecting it to run in the same lane.

The late 70s/early 80s is probably already too "old" for some young people.
Denzel
Those legs are like Homecoming legs.
Damn, I'd say that movie will do very well for itself.

I gotta admit that I've developed a slight aversion to period pieces set in that era. The minute I hear that, I roll my eyes a little. And yet, I'm watching & loving The Deuce on HBO
Equalizer 2 is going to be the hit of August or September 2018. Calling it now. Denzel and Pedro Pascal? Day 1 for me.
I'll allow it.

Have there been any substantial updates on this?
The first one's way better than I give it credit for. Denzel's the only man in the industry who can spend a quarter of a movie sitting in a cafe drinking tea and make it fascinating.
Still sad the Denzel as Luthor rumours were bullshit. He'd have had that script locked down before they shot a frame.
Dude's films aren't always winners, but he doesn't do anything unless he's happy with the material. And him staring down Cavill Supes would've been some good shit.

Yeah, I was surprised by how thoughtful it was at times. Denzel just takes these movies to the next level.
I guess they just moved the release date up. It was Sept, now it's August. Don't know if that'll stick. I think it'll do fine either month.

Paramount got the Sonic movie.
Actuals are starting to trickle in, American Made dropped from $17M to $16.8M.
I'm curious about the jockying for #1 this weekend. Estimate for Kingsman is $17M. The estimate for American Made was $17,016,000 - just $16K higher, probably done to put it over Kingsman. IT was $300K higher. All are from different studios, so I'm guessing they released estimates in that order. I don't see actuals for IT or Kingsman yet, but I'm curious if the final order shuffles.

Got it? Or was the ones left with it?
That sounds so pitiful.
No question about it, I'll be there opening weekend.

Heh, still no actuals for IT and Kingsman. WB and Fox must still be trying to figure out who gets to claim #1

Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
Plot Twist: they are both trying to justify losing to American Made.
Cross post of sorts, I originally compiled this for the Sonic thread, and kswis did it first so it's more of an update, but it is still pretty damn amazing:
