The sheer ignorance that TC continues to display towards Straight Outta Compton is really steering me away from this thread and TC in general. Like seriously shut the **** up, you have no damn clue what you're talking about.

I'd be interested to see how Sinister 2 turned out, I thought that the original flubbed a little on the premise.

The first is one of the my favorite horror films of all-time.

Sinister 2 on the other hand......gets like a 3/10 from me. I was extremely disappointed

You've never seen someone use that before? It stands for "topic creator". Extremely commonly used on some of the other forums I frequent

1. Straight Outta Compton - $13,240,000 - $134,126,000 - 3rd Weekend

Seriously, WTF? I know it barely has any competition for the top spot, but how has it not been dethroned at this point?

There is the slight possibility that it is actually a good film. I know how surprising it might be to find out that the life story of a group/genre you don't like being interesting can be very confusing, but trust me it does occur.

That would be OP.

I'm just giving my opinion on it's run at the box office, and I'm baffled that it's doing so well. Perhaps I'm a little harsh on the film, but that's because it's just not my thing, so I have trouble seeing how it's dominating so much.

I never questioned it being a good film. It's 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes is proof of that.

God I sound like Sansa. The irony.

Weekend of September 4-6, 2015

1. War Room - $9,450,000 - $24,763,458 - 2nd Weekend

Mixing feel good Christianity with the formula of a Hallmark channel movie is apparently a recipe for success.

2. Straight Outta Compton - $8,850,000 - $147,785,705 - 4th Weekend

Still dominating as usual.

3. A Walk In The Woods - $8,250,000 - $10,309,000 - 1st Weekend

Looks like an adult drama that did poorly.

4. The Transporter Refueled - $7,220,000 - $7,220,000 - 1st Weekend

Not only does it not have Jason Statham in it so I don't care, but even if it did, why was another Transporter necessary? The original three made jack **** at the box office, and that was nearly a decade ago. Let it go, Hollywood.

5. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation - $7,180,000 - $180,416,692 - 6th Weekend

I'm not exactly a big Cruise fan, but a part of me becomes happy every time he has a hit. It's like a nice middle finger to the media crusade that tried to destroy his career a decade ago.

6. No Escape - $5,448,000 - $18,449,079 - 2nd Weekend

Why do people still like Owen Wilson?

7. The Man From U.N.C.L.E - $3,445,000 - $39,374,148 - 4th Weekend

Still don't have anything to say about this film other than the fact that it's performing like any other Guy Ritchie movie not named Sherlock Holmes.

8. Sinister 2 - $3,432,000 - $23,766,803 - 3rd Weekend

You can tell that it's the slowest time of the year for the box office when the same films keep appearing every week while barely making anything.

9. Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos - $3,421,000 - $3,421,000 - 1st Weekend

Some foreign animated film, I guess.

10. Inside Out - $3,226,000 - $348,299,280 - 12th Weekend

Nice to see Pixar with a successful movie again that isn't a sequel or a prequel.

So have you, like, seen any of these movies?
