The Sub 10% Club

Someone is upset that a 50 Shades movie is being beat by The LEGO Batman Movie?

I mean, there's nothing inherently wrong with that, it's just that I never thought I'd see the day when that happened.

No, they're upset the Fifty Shades Movie is beating John Wick: Chapter 2, I believe.

I am, too.

Well....their arrow is pointing at Spino's post.

Maybe I misread it, though, and they're upset that 50 Shades Darker is even getting that high on the box office...

That's what I assumed. It's so high (John Wick's at 3rd).

I felt bad about Rings being awful. It tells me how good a director Gore Verbinski is.

Baywatch is at 8%.

Not even the Rock is able to save it?

Damn.

1. Not even he could even save Roman Reigns, either and 2. I don't think it'll personally hurt him... or his chances against beating Trump in 2020... and I don't know if that's being sarcastic/facetious or not.

But can he beat Kanye?

It's now at 15% (with an average rating of 4.5/10).

And I doubt The Rock expected to play in a deep and complex auteur film when he signed for it.

I don't think this'll hurt Rock's momentum though as it looks like he's just in it for the fun of it rather than a big risk the same way Lucy 2 was for Scar Jo.

@Spinosegnosaurus 77 I think Kanye'll self-destruct looong before things get serious/even more surreal. Bossip has an interview/article where an old friend of his basically said, "He's a sponge," (in the sense of being super-influenced by the people around him,) still anchor-less since his mother died that said friend promised her he'd look out for Kanye for her and that he "thrives off White recognition" hence being immersed in the Kardashian Clan and the weird-ass support of/photo-op with Trump, so basically he'd be a combo of looking like Carson/Cain yet with Trump's insecurity/impulsiveness.

...This shit's insane and I'm afraid it's gonna be the new normal all the way into 2020.

If Kanye was going to self-destruct, it would've happened back in 2009.

If you're referring to the death of his mom then I'd almost agree with you except said friend was among others helping him, but it's questionable just how genuinely helpful being among his new family's really is (I just went back to Bossip to check the articles about him and had an eye-roll moment over a White guy in the comments section deflecting the issue about White Privilege.) Anyway, it's one thing to have the kind of pressure from an album or even a death in the family compared to the daily scrutiny as a politician.

Back on topic, 1. It says something that Baywatch somehow managed to fail at even the low-bar it was given * insert obligatory Trump joke * and 2. The title of this thread had me thinking this was spam about discount sub sandwiches.

I was referring to that combined with the Taylor Swift VMA incident.

Baywatch Season 1 had a 35 Metacritic (no RT score), so the film has yet to reach the heights of the original.

Oh wow.

The Emoji Movie is at 0% on RT & 8 on Metacritic.

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. It was never gonna be anything above mediocre.

The movie that looked like a soulless cash grab was a soulless cash grab?

I'm stunned.

What kind of cash was it supposed to grab, though? Were there really people impatient to see a movie about… emojis…?

Executives have strange ideas about what makes money.

How Sony executives think.

It's painful how out of touch these people are.
