  - That's The Mummy 2017 with Jake Johnson. Movie isn't good, but it's not as bad as the critics said. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:04 5
    - We watch this frequently and I don’t know why. It’s good but bad? -- nm - Pippy Jul 7, 14:08 1
      - I think the critics wanted to smack Cruise down -- and since it wasn't really good...they had a chance. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 14:25

Related to below: watched “Beverly Hills 4.” Netflix spent $150M on this for no revenue when this would have been $200M domestic no question. -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 10:18 13

  - Yeah I turned it off after 5 mins. -- nm - Loyola Jul 7, 12:18
  - It's weird -- most of the people I've seen online have really enjoyed it. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 12:11 3
    - It's decent. It's better than 3. But it lacks the bite that 1 and 2 had. They really could have done something if Eddie had been up for it - Remlik Jul 7, 12:47 1

- Netflix's quarterly revenue was $9.37 billion. - David Jul 7, 10:21 3

    - Taylor Swift already took care of that. -- nm - David Jul 7, 09:27 12
      - Weird in that people would both pay to see a movie in the theatre and then still pay to sign up for a streaming service to see it again. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 09:29 11
        
        "Movie" -- nm - David Jul 7, 09:36 9

        Serious question: if it's profitable if done smart, why is Disney the only one turning a profit? - David Jul 7, 10:42 3
        
        WB turned a profit for the year with Max. - Inigo Jul 7, 12:31 1
        
        Only technically. We've got into this on the podcast. WBD changed the calculations so they're including HBO numbers. It's a cheat. - David Jul 7, 13:24
        
        Disney is legitimately the only company that has the library to make this a valid chance. And they seem hellbent on fucking it up by spending - Will Hunting Jul 7, 10:53

- I know that's not the case but it's funny that it looks like Denver just got in there with its hand out "Money pweeease" -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 07:55 1
