You def should man! It's thrilling. Also, what did you think of Sinister. I know Jack Nevada and a couple of others love it, but I just saw it two weeks ago for the first time and.......eh.

I'm usually scared at least a little in every horror movie (yea, I know, I'm a pussy) not named the Evil Dead, but most of them don't ever truly terrify me, and even less stay with me more than a day after I see them. Sinister and Conjuring were scary the day of.....but not much afterwards. The Ring, REC, and PA all stayed with me for weeks.

Brilliant number for Insidious- I knew the first was very popular (and pretty damn good), but holy shit. Also, alot of found footage movies are the bomb.com. Especially the first three PAs and ESPECIALLY the criminally underrated REC/Quarantine, two of the scariest movies I've ever seen

You're becoming a parody of yourself at this point, man. Pretty damn good number, it should do right around what I predicted (32 mill). Yay.

Very mixed reviews, at that. I kinda saw it coming

We will learn about August: Osage County tonight. Strong reviews for DBC and Mandela, but they seem far more likely to just be showcases for their respective lead actors. Gravity and Twelve Years a Slave are the only sure things at this point, though word on Phillips is probably leaning towards it being very positive. Rush and Prisoners could sneak in depending on how else the year crumbles.

I'm genuinely nervous as fuck for Jesse. I've never felt this way in a TV show except for the Red Wedding GOT episode, and I knew that was coming.

Massive early praise for MM, Elba, Firth, Ejoifor, Jackman, and Hanks from recent screenings, in addition to the already huge praise for guys like Jordan, Hawke, Whitaker, and Redford from earlier this year. And we're still waiting to hear about alot of guys- DiCaprio, Fassbender, Carrell, and Bale. Fucking stacked year. Could be one of the best ever.

2001 is the Citizen Kane of sci fi films- brilliantly made and seriously influential, but I just can't understand how a modern audience would be that entertained by it unless they're dissecting it for a film class.

Uh, what? This doesn't make sense on several levels, and is a completely made up, nonsensical example. It's called science fiction. Aliens are the definition of science fiction. E.T. took place in modern times with one alien and minimal sci fi stuff otherwise- does that make it not a sci fi movie? And wouldn't your fake example put it along the same lines of Green Hornet and Kick Ass? What am I missing here?

Because there's a huge difference between a real life space mission in the Earth's orbit and FUCKING ALIENS

*enters topic* *looks around* *backs out of topic slowly*

That guy looked excellent in the Captain Phillips trailers- glad to hear he's awesome

We could have a good idea about Elba and MM today. Mandela and Dallas Buyer Club screenings.

Much appreciation, my friend!

INI is a very pleasant breakout surprise, or more appropriate, breakout shock.

Last night was the first night of football season, and I figure football and the hard R genre action movie have at least a pretty damn big crossover. Might have done 1.2+ on a normal night. Not an awful figure.

I really think, with the popular book read by alot of high schoolers, an emotional story, and a big star, this could be a very solid hit.

If it beats the Butler's opening weekend, I get some nice bonus points to end the Summer Game

No surprise from One Direction. I know they get plenty of internet hate, but that hate shouldn't have led to as many bad predictions as this one had.

1) Will One Direction open to more than 19.5 mill? Yes 2) Will any film increase more than 12.5% on Sunday? Yes 3) Will Paranoia fall less than 35%? No 4) Will Getaway open to more than Hardball did? No 5) Will Closed Circuit open to more than 16.775 mill for the 6 day? No 6) Will Mortal Instruments fall less than 32.5%? No 7) Will You're Next increase more than 5% on Sunday? Yes 8) Will MI have a Monday drop of less than 15% Yes 9) Will The Butler finish in the top 2 on Monday? Yes 10) Will Millers finish in the top 3? Yes 11) Will any animated film in the top 50 drop less than 12.25%? Yes 12) Will Man of Steel fall less than 15% for the 4 day? Yes 13) Will WHD fall more than 15% for the 4 day? Ni 14) Will Will any film in the top 20 increase more than 200%? Yes 15) Will any film in the top 10 have an increase of more than 17.5% for the 4 day? No 12/15 3000 13/15 6000 14/15 9000 15/15 15000 What finishes in spots: 5 World's End 6 MI 10 Next 11 Jasmine 13 2 Guns Bonus 1: What will the top three films add up to on Thursday? 10,000 5 Bonus 2: What will the top 5 films add up to on Friday? 10,000 16.4 Bonus 3: What will the top 3 films add up to on Sunday? 15,000 11.2 Bonus 4: What will the combined grosses of DM2, Smurfs 2 and Butler add up to for the 3 day? 10,000 20.4 Bonus 5: What will the combined % drop be for Millers, Kick Ass 2 and World's End for the three day? 15,000 98.6

I literally didn't see one commercial or tv spot for Closed Circuit. None. Zero. Never. Nada

Sounds like a potential bemoth in alot of ways- critically and commercially. Could be both a super crowd pleaser and an Oscar contender, ala most of the Oscar movies of last year.

Plenty, though I don't think STID was one of them. Just this summer, I think WHD, Pacific Rim, and 2 Guns were hurt the most. There's plenty of examples through the years. Very fun to debate
