Just because I have not seen the movie does not mean I do not care and am rejecting it. They release 1 to 2 blockbusters every week. I am lucky to see 4 movies a summer. At most 6. At $15 a pop (plus refreshments) and that does not included everyone in my family just me. I want to see this but just haven't. We get bombarded my new blockbusters this time of year. If a have to wait a few weeks to see it doesn't mean I rejected it. You people need to relax and stop being negative nellies about everything.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees this and makes it a point to bring it up! This year has been easily one of the more overstuffed in terms of franchise sequels, big blockbusters and "must sees" and let's face it. No matter how bad you want to see every film, there just isn't enough money to catch them all. I missed more than a few films already because of that, and it's a shame that when I do see them, and come here to comment, all anyone wants to do is use the box office numbers to paint some "grim" picture.
One example is Independence day Resurgence. I've dealt with posters comparing 1996 box office to todays as a gauge of success. Seriously, Check out the timetable of how movies came out in 1996(the original) and what movies were the competition, and then look at what's come out already this year. Its no wonder the new one barely made 400 million. There are just too many films these days competing for the same time frame. Hopefully Hollywood has learned to space these out more in the future. Just look at Spielberg's BFG. Another example of a film that had no business being released in June, with all the other big budget franchises hitting. Who the heck thought BFG would be a "summer blockbuster"?
Who's strangling the cat?
