It's looking more and more like Beetlejuice Beetlejuice will break It's September opening weekend record. Right now I'd say $125+ million. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 07:51 25
- I will take the under, if anyone wants to bet. -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 27, 09:22 1
  - Word. nm - Turd Ferguson Aug 27, 09:29
- I’m torn between this movie crushing it at the box office (and also Rotten Tomatoes) and FUCK ZASLAV. -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 27, 08:19 1
  - I mean, fuck Zaddy, but never ever root against MK. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 27, 08:25
- Why is this opening in early September? Like…this release date is just stupid. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 08:14 19
  - Yup and everyone I've talked to about it has said the same thing. It should be an October release. Joker doesn't need to be in October. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 08:40 3
    - Joker should be Christmas. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 08:41 2
      - Perfect for taking grandma and your visiting aunt Ethel. -- nm - con_carne Aug 27, 09:14
      - April Fools Day? -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 08:56
  - Similar release date to It (and It Chapter 2) -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 08:29
  - Probably because WB has Joker 2 coming out then. - Inigo Aug 27, 08:22 13
    - Beetlejuice is more of a Halloween film than Joker 2 which is why it seems off to have it outside of October. - Krusty Aug 27, 08:41 7
      - I'd have to dig deeper, but I don't recall horror movies doing better in October than other months. - Inigo Aug 27, 08:53 5
        
        I know they release horror films all year long but it just seems like October would be the best time for a film like Beetlejuice. - Krusty Aug 27, 08:56 4
        
        People have been making these comments for as long as I've been watching box office - horror does well any time of year. Just like how - Reagen Aug 27, 09:44
        
        with a 30-45 day theatrical window it will be on streaming by Halloween -- nm - mr mooch Aug 27, 08:57 2
        
        I would think part of the release strategy is Beetlejuice 2 on Max for Halloween and Joker 2 for the Christmas holiday. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 09:15 1
        
        if BJ2 is actually any good (i'm skeptical from the trailers so far) it shoulda been a summer release. zero comedies, woulda had that space entirely - mr mooch Aug 27, 09:17
      - As I explained to Amy all weekend, this is Summerween. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 08:42
    - Also, they can put it on MAX for Halloween. -- nm - Dano Aug 27, 08:28
    - IM, plus that holiday is focused on nighttime activities. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 08:23 3
      - Many people, myself included, will mainly watch Halloween or horror films for the month. It's by far the best month for a Halloween themed film and - Krusty Aug 27, 08:43 2
        
        Halloween is *everywhere* already. It is the reason I finally went to Long Legs this weekend. -- nm* - Spawn Aug 27, 08:44 1
        
        I don't skip over seasons. It's still summer, I'm still going swimming and enjoying the warm days. I'm not jumping to fall and holidays that - Krusty Aug 27, 08:49
- Easily. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 08:07

  - Right? I'm happy for people who enjoy it, but the only way I could do it is... - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 27, 08:08 6
    - My friend and I were talking over the weekend about going glamping(I hate the word so much). I want to spend some quiet time in the woods but - Krusty Aug 27, 08:47
    - I feel that. We lived in a tent for a bit and it's fun.... To a point. The RV def makes it nice, you can "stay in" if you want. -- nm - colin Aug 27, 08:38
    - I mean - how luxury you talkin? We gots the AC, the bathroom, 2 TVs, 2 Rokus, outdoor kitchen. I mean - we still have to setup outside - Turd Ferguson Aug 27, 08:23 3

        this. Like one of the million dollar things. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 27, 08:38

  - First time living with mountains always in view. Love it. -- nm - colin Aug 27, 07:58 3
    - My daughter had a similar reaction when we looked at schools in Colorado with her. We lost her to the mountains then. - oblique Aug 27, 07:59 1
      - Blue Ridge is magical. And I'm not saying that because I'm a biased NC native. -- nm - sycor Aug 27, 08:25
    - 👍 -- nm - crash davis 😺 Aug 27, 07:59

- Yeah we are 96, 96, 96, 97 this week. It's brutal. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 27, 07:48 2
  - Tomorrow is up to 94, and then it thankfully cools off. -- nm - znufrii Aug 27, 08:37
  - we are 97 today! so we all know who I get to fire! -- nm* - Spawn Aug 27, 07:50
Connections gripe for today (spoils) - Inigo Aug 27, 07:35 8
- Isn't that the whole point of Connections? -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 07:39 7
  - I've never seen it where there's 4 obvious connections. - Inigo Aug 27, 07:48 5
    - My opinion - prayformojo Aug 27, 07:52 2
      - I'd go with that thinking more if they gave the ability to check all 4 groups of 4 at once. - Inigo Aug 27, 08:00
      - *ding* -- nm - mud Aug 27, 07:53
    - I've seen ones where there were five obvious ones and the challenge is to figure which belongs in another group -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 07:51 1
      - But in that it's still 4 of the 5 that go together. - Inigo Aug 27, 07:59
  - yes. I totally x'd it today. -- nm - mud Aug 27, 07:45

  - seven? lol - mr mooch Aug 27, 07:30 4
    - That is the joke for sure. But they'll travel separately, and the band is Noel's band (which has former Oasis members). -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 07:47 1
      - I expect Noel will sing a couple songs with them. That would be my drink breaks. -- nm* - Spawn Aug 27, 08:06
