We got Minions instead of Inside Out.
We got Pixels instead of Jurassic Park.
We got Spy instead of Mad Max.

No Trainwreck.
No Avengers.
No Southpaw.

You know not the horrors of the resort town movie showtimes, LV...
heh when i lived in Irvine there were a little over a hundred screens within a five mile radius of my apartment. Still not much selection though.

Inside Out and Spy were roughly as popular as Minions and Mad Max, respectively. That's not that absurd. Southpaw and Trainwreck were mid-level movies. Though I find it very hard to believe they never got Avengers or Jurassic World. Not that you missed anything.

I can take your point on Spy vs. Mad Max. Despite the fact I wanted to see Mad Max, I can appreciate Spy's appeal to a larger audience.

But fucking Minions over Inside Out?! That's just silly.
They made just about the same amount of money, dude.

Just checked this, and shit, you're right. IO made $20M more than Minions worldwide, but that's not much. I'm shocked -- I thought Minions looked like such an obvious cash grab. It didn't even have Carell's Gru character.

Because you care about our moviegoing experience? Or because you want to be right?

Either way, I want it too.
I just want you to be happy, trag

Fanbois have spotted a mandalorian flag in the bit we're behind Han and the robot coming toward the camera(Boba Fetts flag or somethin)

The island in the lake underneath the X wing taking out the tie fighter looks like skelig Michael from above(Lukes hideout).
