 Time for another box office update, to see where we’re up to with Avengers: Endgame. Has it taken enough money to become the highest grossing movie of all time?

It’s official – Hellboy is a huge flop

 *Sigh* Remember the Hellboy reboot that came out a few weeks ago? The reboot that I called “really shit”, with a “piss poor script” and “atrocious effects” (read my rant in full for the details).
