Am I the only one who still hasn't seen Kingsman?

I was going to go see Kingsman, but I'm having problems with my car at the moment. So I can't go. Oh well.

Isn't there any public transport near you?

@RamboOnRedBull You mean like a bus? I guess. I mean, it's not the same as driving your own car though. With your own car, you can just go straight to the movie theater whenever you feel like it. But with a bus, you got to plan all this shit out and wait and all that shit. It's not worth it. Even if it was a big movie like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I'll just ask one of my friends to take me.

When walking and taking a bus is too much of a struggle, you know you're American.

@RamboOnRedBull I don't think I took a bus (besides a school bus) since I went to LA many years ago.

I was, but conflicting schedules with friends and the fact I broke my glasses a couple days before prevented me from going. Also the temperature was below freezing and I'd usually have to wait about half an hour for the bus.

Welp.

What... the... fuck? They'll more likely change the characters age to 18.

And here I thought my Porn was good.

Box Office Time!


1. Furious 7 - $143.62 million
2. Home -$27.4 million
3. Get Hard - $12.9 million
4. Cinderella - $10.2 million
5. The Divergent Series: Insurgent - $10 million

Furious 7 completely dominates at the box office with $143 million in its opening weekend and already has passed the $300 million mark worldwide and nearing the $400 million mark fast and furious (yes, stupid pun intended). Furious 7 also broke records as it now holds the highest opening in April beating out last years Captain America: The Winter Soldier along with being the highest Easter opening weekend.

I wonder if it'll cross the billion dollar mark? Also I'm doing something new so people can tell what films are in their opening weekend, case in point: Furious 7 above being red.

I say it has a very good chance of making over a billion dollars at the box-office. Which I never thought I would say about the Fast & Furious franchise. It's crazy how popular this franchise has become. Sure the death of Paul Walker has something to do with it, but that will just make the series even more popular.

Avengers: Age of Ultron Tracking $200 Million Opening!

To no surprise! I think this film will get close to the 2 billion mark, but won't cross it.

250 million in the US alone in pretty much one week? Yeah this film is surely to hit the billion mark if not get extremely close to it.

Yup, this is going to make a billion without a doubt.

Furious 7 set new opening record in china and already has 800 million worldwide!

It's nice to know that Universal finally has a billion dollar franchise in their hands now.

Furious 7 is now the 5th highest grossing movie with 1.3 billion. I think it'll beat Harry Potter by the end of it.

Also Age of Ultron has already made 200 million worldwide!

Furious 7 managed to make all that money without the help of 3D.

Age of Ultron passed 300 million worldwide and got $27.6 million last night. Also broke a record as it made 3 million from IMAX.

I see at least another 1.5 billion.

I was a fan of comics, before it became mainstream.

Anyone think Mad Max can beat Age of Ultron this weekend? I believe it can, but by a small margin. Like at best 5 - 10 million dollars.
