#Notable Box Office Stories
-
Aided (slightly) by a $66.5 million opening weekend in China, Black Panther surpassed $1 billion in worldwide box office on Saturday, joining an elite club of less than 40 films (without adjusting for inflation) that have achieved this. As /r/boxoffice pointed out, it is the first MCU film that does not have an appearance by Tony Stark to reach $1 billion worldwide. The domestic gross of Black Panther is now 7th overall and exceeds that of The Dark Knight ($534,858,444), as well as the combined domestic gross of Justice League and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ($228,977,297 and $330,360,194, respectively). Black Panther came in second place behind A Wrinkle In Time on Friday ($9,972,000 vs $10,214,000, respectively) but regained the lead for the weekend, with a weekend domestic box office of $41,136,000. This was also Black Panther's fourth consecutive weekend at #1, and while we still have a long way to go before we see something like Titanic's 15 consecutive weekends at #1 again, Black Panther could be the first film since 2009's Avatar to spend five consecutive weekends at #1 if it beats Tomb Raider (the only new major release) next weekend (more on that later).

Saw it probably 11 or 12 years ago when I had first moved to Korea as a teen. Scared the shit out of me back then even watching with subtitles. I just rewatched it for the first time while understanding enough Korean to be able to watch it without looking at the subtitles, and it really holds up. I have much more appreciation for it now that I can watch the movie and not have to pay attention to subtitles. I just wish my teenage self could have had the experience of watching the movie without using subtitles, because that was before I was desensitized to horror so to get the full effect of this movie as a teen who could still get scared by movies would have been great.
Side note: didn’t entirely hate the uninvited, but it really missed the mark as being a “remake.” It essentially was a worse version of the original, but with less terror, better film quality, and it was in English. Worse acting too and all around worse filmmaking just to tell what is essentially the same story. The remake didn’t really set the mood in the same way as the original, and the scares in the remake always felt cheaper and less earned than the scares in the original.

The more you know
Prove me wrong. With the initial arrival of The Cat and the way he villainously chases Sally and Conrad through the house as they try to escape and acting as if nothing is wrong because he's so powerful he can take the situation lightly. He eventually convinces the kids to sign a contract that probably gives away their souls to him to own in his own personal hell pit. It's obviously supernatural because more than once there is more than 1 of him and they are all portrayed as the same person in 2 different spots. He shows extremely violent and dangerous behavior especially shown during the cooking scene with one of the "other" Cats. He even has his own evil henchmen in the form of Things 1 and 2 who were blatantly created solely for the purpose of mischief and ruining lives because they only do the OPPOSITE of what they're told. In the end the Cat leaves with subtle hints that someday he may return like the second coming of Christ. He leaves with no eye witnesses except the kids and the eye of the camera itself.
I remember the end being them going to save Charles Wallace. My daughter just finished reading it to me(for home school). They saved him at the end. The fact IT still had him was why I read the second book.
I read this book back in 2003ish. The plot as I remember is there is a dad who built a box for his kids, a box that is somehow enchanted. Later the dad goes missing. The son goes mute after the dad goes missing. The boy and girl play with the box and find that it can take them to another world. The other world is enchanted and dangerous and I vaguely remember that falling asleep in that world is also dangerous. There’s an evil person that is the ruler on that world. I never finished the book but I wanted to say that the dad was trapped in that world and even possibly the evil person himself or at the very least connect to him.
Every time try to find this book people say it’s a wrinkle in time. I’ve read that book and I get there are similarities but it’s not what I’m remembering. The brother is definitely mute and I remember it being a like pine box not a scientific object like a tesseract.
8 years ago, I was living in a 2 bedroom apartment by myself with 2 cats. I had a girlfriend (who i will name Elsa for this story) who lived 45 minutes away, on her college campus. Most weekends, she would drive into town and stay at my place until she had class again on monday.
We did regular things, as we didn't get to see much of each other. We liked to spend time alone together, watching movies, playing games, or the like. Please keep in mind that neither of us were drug or alcohol users, as I have a good job I can't risk losing, and she just simply never cared for intoxicants. Nor were either of us on any medication.
So here's the scene. It's Saturday night, 11pm. Elsa and I are sitting on the couch, watching a movie (I can't remember which). We are dressed, sober, and alert, as we slept in that morning and had plenty of sleep. We are chatting, laughing, talking. The tv is illuminating our immediate area, and I kept the light on in the kitchen to provide some ambient light for the living room as well. My cats are asleep in their favorite chair, all is well. Everybody is safe and comfortable.
Suddenly, without any kind of warning or inkling, the 'Jump', as I have come to call it, happened.
You know when you're watching dialogue in a movie, and they're using two cameras to film? When they switch from camera to camera to capture the one speaking, it is seamless? With no clipping, interruption, fading, or transition effects? It was that sudden.
We were having a good time together in the living room when in an instant I found myself sitting on the foot of my bed, clothes removed, in the dark. For about one half of a second, a million thoughts entered my mind. Had something fallen off the wall and hit my head? Did I have a seizure? Was I dreaming the whole time? Where is Elsa?
Then the scary part.
I turn to my right, and Elsa is also sitting on the foot of the bed next to me, clothes removed. Her eyes are the size of golf balls and she's trembling. I realize I am as well.
I try to speak and ask her if something happened, but I'm so frightened. I only stutter. After looking around the room and realizing we are alive, she managed to ask me what happened. I didn't want to answer, in case it was just me, and I didn't want to come off as nuts. I just looked at her.
After a pause, she started asking me again if I had turned off the lights, or removed our clothes, or if I knew what was going on.
I didnt. Neither of us had experienced grogginess or confus

This is more of a rant because I need to get this off my chest but I HATED A Wrinkle in Time. The whole thing. I just didn’t care for it. I liked book 3, I think, barely, but found it more pleasant than the rest of them. I hate that series and seeing the high ratings it has on Goodreads annoys me. Fight me. Actually, please don’t fight me, instead let me know which popular series you just can’t get into. I also hated Battle Royal. Thank you for coming to my TEDRant.
