We've seen the trailer for The Lone Ranger, and we think it looks awful, yes?
Yes.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Indeed. And the bird on Johnny Depp's head looks ridiculous, and not in a good Captain Jack kind of way.

Girl Rising is simply amazing. I seriously want to force everyone to sit down and watch it.

They should have made it a puppet and had it talk to people.

Helena Bonham Carter's costume looks good? But yes, that movie look horrible.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In another iteration of "equations will ruin art", this article talks about a successful statistical script doctoring process; [link]
Interestingly, (or depressingly) they cite two movies that appealed to me not in the least--Lincoln Lawyer would probably catch my eye on cable, but if it ended up on my Netflix queue, I wouldn't bump it to the top. And Oz just...I like the source material, but how more boring could it look?
So, while it makes sense that you can predict to a point box office and how to pander (it's not like that's a new concept--it's the spreadsheet in the background that appals), what does that to for me? If they could tell me what movies I liked they applied this to, and what changes were at their behest, I'd be fascinated.
But saying guardian superheroes do better than cursed one seems to, if I'm on the same semantic page, predict that Spiderman and Batman should do less well Superman (they cite him specifically), and the Avengers as a whole as successful as it was.
TL/DR: Send me contextualised relevant data, pls.

I saw IM3 this weekend, and boy THAT was fun. Definitely helped me get my mind off of things for a little while.
