>Keanu Reeves' John Wick opened with $14.4 million in October of 2014, riding a wave of strong reviews and solid buzz to a $43m domestic and $86m worldwide cume. The film also earned $53m in post-theatrical, which is the kind of post-theatrical bump that is a lot rarer than it used to be during the DVD boom. And now the sequel just notched a $30m debut weekend. So yeah, I'm thinking John Wick: Chapter 2 is a classic breakout sequel.
>No, the Keanu Reeves/Common/Ruby Rose action flick won’t top the entire domestic total of the first film ($43 million) in its debut weekend, but it did open with more than double the first John Wick’s debut. You can’t say that about almost any recent initial sequel save for Pitch Perfect 2 or the comparatively long-ago likes of The Bourne Supremacy, The Dark Knight or Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.
>And in an era where most sequels open smaller than their predecessors, this is a big deal and a big win for all participants. This was a case of a surprisingly good and refreshingly under-the-radar hit building a following both during its leggy theatrical run and in post-theatrical, with the fans and the curious showing up for the next installment in comparative droves. And when you have what amounts to an unexpected sleeper hit, you sometimes get an accidental franchise and get to reap the respective rewards.
Im glad Keanu is back

It amazes me that the film only cost $40 million to make.
I've been watching heuge blockbuster films for so long that I'd forgotten it was possible to make a relatively modestly priced action movie.
>This was Emily Blunt in EoT when she was pregnant
>Scarjo can't even be bothered to get toned up for GITS
really makes you think
>>79430956
She played a drunk loser so well in Girl on the Train, it was good to see her make a movie where we don't have to pretend she's actually strong.
Are you implying that's toned?
>>79430996
>it was good to see her make a movie where we don't have to pretend she's actually strong.
Well to be fair her combat prowess came about the same way as Tom's via savescumming so it made sense
Just watched the movie, worth the price of admission (Zero, because I torrented it). It was a fun hour and a half.
I think it was a fun innovative movie, nothing spectacular mind you, but fun. I do think it could have been a much better movie if it extended and expanded upon the time before he got to discount Tibet. Overall a clever innovative film, but it's still boggled down by being the MCU.
If you have the time, torrent it, it'll probably be worth your time if you don't pay for it. Also, don't call me a shill because I don't watch Marvel movies in theaters or pay for their bluray/dvd.
Curious what did /tv/ think of this movie?
>>79430747
Verdict:
7.5/10 Movie
10/10 Mcadams
>>79430785
Could have been like a 9 if the movie wasn't in the MCU with all the dumb tie ins, and expanded and extended the movie focusing on the important stuff and getting rid of the MCU shit
>>79430747
It looked way better in 3D and a big screen than it could possibly look on a computer screen.
>>79430810
The MCU shit was
>one line from Tilda Swinton
>one post credits scene
>one mention of the Infinity Stone at the end, without which the Eye of Agamotto could've been any other trinket with time powers
>Mordo mentioning the Living Tribunal
That can't have been what brought it down for you.

Fuckers left the other one to die so soon
Why are slasher films always set in some mundane, peaceful lilly white town instead of actual murderholes like Detroit, Baltimore or Cleveland?
Halloween: Boring Illinois suburb
Nightmare on Elm Street: Boring Ohio suburb
Friday the 13th: Boring summer camp
Scream: Boring Californian small town
Texas Chainsaw: Hicksville, TX
Not even mentioning the outright propaganda pieces like Stepford Wives explicitly made to demonize white suburban life. Decades of this shit made people believe that suburbs are SO CREEPY, everything pleasant is just a charade and everyone living there is a psychopathic murderer, a pedophile, a wife beater, a demented cuckold or a demon from hell.
There's no point in having a slasher villain in places that already have a high body count. Nobody would likely notice or care. It's about the contrast of the vicious murders and these idyllic neighborhoods. Anyways, Candyman.
Evil Dead: Small cabin in rural mountainous area
Because all of those would have probably ben gunned out by gangs of niggers if they were in detroit.
Also isn't there a movie where Jason goes to Manhattan?
>We can do this the easy way, or the hard way...

2016 had the record for most box office bombs in a year with a whopping 13 blockbusters failing to make profit and yes, Ghostbusters is in that list.
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED
>>79429913
Remakes.
Power rangers will without a doubt be on the 2017 list the only question is how big will the flop be.
>>79429913

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
How does /tv/ feel about Eraserhead?
Garbage, just like everything else Dabid Lynch has done.

It's good. Especially for a director's first film.

I demand that every copy of BSG be burnt.
It has worse writing than Babylon 5.
It has to be the worst waste of a show than lost.
In fact it seems to be losts scifi counterpart.
It has a great first season then decides to go down hill faster than a thai hooker
le glorified alcohol commercial
I hate this show so much I'm glad I quit before the end
What went wrong?

Who had a biggest negative response? This or Fem Ghostbusters?
What did McNulty mean by this?
Thats Yang Wen-li though.
He meant"I'm depressed and my life is boring"
Are there any other shows out there with the same "feel" as LOGH? With both sides of a conflict being given screen time and fleshed out well
either animated or live action
>>79429440
I wonder if there's a fan cut of "The flags of our fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" showing both sides
WHO HYPED??

Except they are. People are still doing racist italian accents and just the othet day a show laughed about a whacky italain pedophile. They wouldn't dare have made it a muslim pedofile.
Also no one talks of the lynchings of italians in the 1800s
