My son is really excited about Jurassic World 2. First one was dumb but entertaining, it'll probably be ok.
I'm probably going to end up seeing most of the marvel movies, most of the animated movies and Solo. Mostly because I have kids.

so apparently it turned out to be a fake sequel/remake/franchise flick, and the hype (such as it was) was just to rope people in for a twist super bowl fake trailer where it turns out at the end that the whole thing is an ad for australian tourism. seems like a rather expensive and elaborate zing when they could have just... run an ad for australian tourism during the super bowl. whatever anyway, the poll is unblemished though so that's cool.

Life of the Party (2018)
This--apparently a gender-flipped remake of Back to School (1986)--just came to my attention, and I wish it hadn't.

The existence of Pacific Rim Uprising initially puzzled me, as I was under the impression that the first one flopped, and according to Wikipedia it was "the rare English-language film in history to cross $400 million while barely crossing $100 million domestic." Makes more sense now--the studio is obviously counting on this making a killing overseas--but why is it being marketed so aggressively? I've seen more TV ads for it than for Ready Player One.

Hypotheses:1. If you’re watching things other than basketball, ad space is probably relatively cheap this month2. Given that ratio of domestic vs international earnings, probably easy to justify a much bigger US promo budget for the sequel

It's weird that the campaign is so faceless though. Most of the subway posters I've see are just robots (which don't have super memorable designs) and it's like, y'all know the star of your movie is famous, right?

feel like I should report that I read a really positive review of this one yesterday. Maybe more franchises should stick a decade in between instalments

they're advertising the big bashy robots think a lot over here too. fuckers.

m.a.s.k. had a spirited and memorable theme song, and a couple of kinda neat toys, but really this is bottom-of-the-barrel stuff here

The top 6 box-office grossers of the weekend (and 10 of the top 12) were sequels, so let's turn the lights out on this Hollywood shit, it was a fun century.

Leave No Trace, Three Identical Strangers, Won't You Be My Neighbour, Sorry To Bother You, Eighth Grade and Hereditary are all in wide release this week.
It's true that that only gets you six out of seven days filled with Moviepass, but as sequels go Ant-Man & The Wasp, But Not In Her Vagina is fun, Incredibles 2 is less eugenicist than the first, and I haven't seen any of the Hotel Transylvanias but apparently #3 is the first one that Genndy Tartakovsky has written? [googles: turns out the first one was written by Peter Baynham & Robert Smigel!]

looking through previous summers, 2000 was bad year too -- the biggest hit was Mission Impossible 2 for instance. apart from that, I had to go back to 1976 to find a worse year.
