asked grok and chatgpt to pull early projection, pretty meaningless, most numbers are from just a few websites and reddit

Movies are all gay now. Until they fix that I'm a hard pass on going to the theater.

That’s a long list of shitty repetition. May be part of the issue, Hollywood. None of those excite me at all.

I’ll watch dune in theatres but that’s it. They just retread stories now, have shitty agendas, ugly actresses. Prices are expensive as hell and people are struggling to buy groceries. Watching at home is cheaper, more convenient, and nicer environment. Gee why is no one going.

Jesus. What a horrible lineup.
Pretty much. I think the only movie I'm somewhat interested in is the 28 days Bone Temple deal just because I think it's going to be absurdly fucked up. There's not anything else on that list that I care about, but I'm also not going to go to the theater to see that particular movie.
