Black Panther Top 10 U.S. All Time


WTF? Again? I take another break and all hell breaks loose with the MCU and the fish story wins the Oscar. So another catching up write up and the Oscars review will be in the bonus section.

Update:

LOL, I dont get this at all. It's the same studio! They want to beat Last Jedi count and it's still Disney. It's like competiting against your own twin brother. "Mom likes you better!"

1. Stop knocking off fan favorites 2. Negan needs to be eaten by a Zombie already, so annoying.
3. Nobody count from Daryl! He needs at least  5 minutes every episode to get his freak on.
4. Highest ratings Sunday night? Low ratings + high budget = Cancelled!

Wow, the studio really wants that acknowledge for biggest opening ever. And screw up everyone else schedule and as this Tuesday morning they moved up Rampage a week. Now this is funny. And lets face it, this wouldn't happened if Jumangi made so much money giving Johnson the right to pull this off. Studios, just like spoiled children. "He's got Ice Cream, I want Ice Cream!"

With Black Panther being one of the biggest hits in the MCU, this is a great recap before going to the next phase at the same time keeping it new with their new looks and costumes. Just more gravy before the big premiere of Avengers IW.

This includes a video promo shown in China with RDJ which is pretty cool. Well after breaking the all time top 10 U.S.and the top 50 World Wide,  and on it's way to breaking the $ 1 Billion mark, how much can China help on top of that? And does it matter? Well to the studios it does. but lets face it. Superhero movies and Star Wars franchise do not clear $100M mark but Pacific Rim made over $200M did. Go figure.

Oscars Review: (dedicated to the few who saw this show, lol)
Shades of Water was the big shocker. It was suppose to be a showdown between 3 Billboards and Dunkirk but instead Dunkirk got the tech awards instead of Shades and Shades got the Oscar.  At least Billboards got some of the acting awards. But the best thing is we fantasy/sci-fi/horror fans got one in our corner. The last big one was Return of the King. Now the only thing Del Toro has to do is direct a Godzilla film. Done. Drop Mic.

Really? You nominate films that no one saw and leave Wonder Woman of the list when there was still a spot open to include one more film for a total of 10 films. So what audience is the Academy looking for? Either way they sure miss the boat.  On top of that the show was boring as hell.
Even tho Shades was the big surprise of the evening I was ok with most of the wins especially Roger Deakins finally winning for his camera work after 20 nods. It was about time. The rest? Meh...
But special shout out at the Memoriam Section, they included the first actor to play Godzilla. Now that was cool. And one of our members from our Godzilla community posted that on our page. Good to know I was not the only one watching the show.

If any picture deserves to be trashed it's Transformers. Yeah Emoji  was a waste of time but, hell, there was a lot worse pictures that deserve to be on this list. Sure Baywatch was a waste of time but again, it plays better at home especially those Zac Efron jokes by Johnson. Those were funny. Have to give to Dwayne Johnson for Baywatch accepting his Razzie on Instagram. Well what else can he say? He's got 2 films coming out back to back, so he's gotta smile about it, lol.

Bonus:
So who thinks that Del Toro should direct a Godzilla movie?
My bet? Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. He did Kaiju and robots in Pacific Rim so why not?
Hmm that sounds like a poll for our Godzilla Community, lol.
Directed by Del Toro, listen to the Godzilla roar at the very beginning, right after the zombies.
