Its Smith Leo happened to have a very lucrative 2010 thanks to his Shutter Island 20 mil paycheck and gross participation from Inception Depp also kicked ass past few years thanks to his gross participation from Pirates and Alice Cruise is looking to make a major comeback paycheck with MI4 becoming a success RDJ is very lucrative but still doesn't command as huge amounts as some would think ... he will though

Rappers are people like Wu Tang Clan, Nas, Biggie, Pac and old Jay-z Will Smith is a lollipop rapper

FINALLY someone gets that Will Smith is not an artist but merely an entertainer and a businessman wtg baumer Is Hancock 2 really going to happen ? you guys are talking about it like its a sure thing ... if it really is then Smith and his family will not get a single dime out of me regardless of the project they participate in

Ugh Will Smith has had such a versatile and eclectic career so far I really can't wait for all these sequels to materialize so he can go on with it

Excellent posts guys I agree with most of what you said 9/10 not just a modern sci fi classic but a sci fi classic in general

100 mil for sure IMO I'd say 125

I'm saddened to say that this will probably do some big business OS with the way Smith has been promoting it Probably over 400 mil and I wouldn't rule out an over 500 mil gross too

Shouldn't we have first weekend estimates by now ?

I'm low on Avengers too ( I think I have it at 410 ) But since I totally pulled numbers out of my ass in the last minute I guess I'm ok And for the record I'm not convinced this is doing over 460 so all hope might not be lost

IDK I was entertained but there are just too many praises being given to this film and I honestly don't see anything special about it I was thinking of giving it an 8 to avoid stoning but I'll stand my ground and give it a 7 Well a 7.5 merely cause of ScarJo and her T&A in that gorgeous outfit

It is doubtful, but I hold the right to add a question if it seems right.Bonus Question of all Bonus Questions:This is a four parter:1) Will TDKR make at least 500 million domestically? YES2) Will TDKR make more than 580 million internationally? YES3) Will TDKR do at least 40 million for midnights? NO4)) Will TDKR make at least 1.1 billion WW? YESScoring: All questions you answer correctly are worth 7000 points. You can go for as many as you like.Here is the catch: Every answer you call incorrectly you lose 10,000 points.There are no points for abstaining, with one caveat down below. ***Even more bonus and more treachery:If you go 4/4 you get a 28,000 point bonus. So this means you will get a total of 56,000 points for this question (7000X4 plus 28,000 point bonus)However, if you go for all 4 you must get all four correct. If you get even one incorrect, you will lose 15,000 points. So what this means is, if you go for all four and even if you get 3/4 correct, not only will you NOT get the 11,000 but you will lose a full 15,000 points.This question is worth a lot of points for those ballsy enough to go for all 4, but it will kick your ass if you get too cocky.Remember, you don't have to answer any of them. Or you can answer as little as you want. It's totally up to you.You can choose to go for as many or as little as you want.***CAVEAT***If you choose to abstain from all 4, you will get 5000 for doing so.You must tell me if you are abstaining.NEW QUESTION:This is a four part question. Again, you have choices.Choice A, answer any part of the question. Each answer you get correct you will receive 7000 points. Each answer you get wrong, you will lose 7000 points. If you go for all four parts of the question, you must get all four parts correct. If you get even one wrong after going for it all, you will lose 7,000 points. You can go for all of it, none of it and some of it. Choice is yours.17)A) Will any film listed as a horror film by boxofficemojo.com gross more than 100 million dollars this summer? NOWill any film listed as a horror film by boxofficemojo.com open to more than 32.5 mill? YESC) Will any film listed as a horror film by boxofficemojo.com have a second weekend drop of less than 43%?

YESGet any question right: 7000Get any question wrong: -7000Abstain from all four questions: 5000Go for all four, and get all four correct not only will you get the 28,000, you get a bonus of 28,000. But you must go for all four to qualify for the bonusSOTM 1:Which of these films will hit 100 million in the shortest amount of time? (days)1) Dictator2) The Expendables3) Prometheus This one - I'm gonna guess 1704) That's my Boy5) Rock of AgesThere are some caveats to this. First, more than one film could cross the 100 mill mark at the same time. If that happens, both/either films will be the correct answers.Your answer is going to be in days. So if you think Prometheus will do it the quickest, in say 4 days, you will put Prometheus, 4 days (there is no deduction for putting the incorrect amount of days). Now, if Prometheus and another film cross in 4 days, you will still get full points for calling the correct film.Points:8000: Call the correct film to do so.-5000: call the incorrect film10,000: say none of these films will cross 100 mill this summer15,000: say all of these films will cross 100 mill this summer3000: abstainFor a 7000 point bonus, if you call the correct film, tell me the final gross of that film this summer. Get within 10 mill of the finish to get the bonus. There is no penalty for being off more than 10 mill.Good luck.This is due Wednesday May 2nd at 11:59 pm.

I'm an idiot I know I've just been busy with stuff ... then I was busy with being free for a while ... then I was busy with the idea that BO ain't so hot nowadays and that I'm not interested in most movies BO prospects this summer ... then I was busy thinking that I oughta play it at least for the tradition Then I posted here !

Oh snap This is due tomorrow at midnight I suppose I'll just have to wing every single pre season pick when I get up tomorrow ... this is gonna be fun

What aDIM said 4/10

Nah its a straight up porno movie ... I mean a hard hitting drama about the way young people live in Serbia ( NOT ) Nobody dies unfortunately Here's a trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvWKwZp0rNY Again, this is not the way things are its just a wild exaggeration to turn heads so your movie can get some lame award from some even lamer film festival ( in this case Rotterdam film festival )

I just don't consider it a regular film just because it does all those things as a shock value and that's it ... sure actors were good and a few other things too but its just controversial for the sake of being controversial Make sure you watch Clip ( Klip ) next as you will immensely enjoy this movie that for the half of its runtime consists of scenes with BJ's, anal sex, jerking off on a girl that's rubbing her pussy, regular sex ( yes in that order ) and all that done by 16 year olds ( they are both 19 in real life but you would never guess that for the girl ) There's also an underlining sense of a society that's crumbling down ... but who cares teen buttsex FTW !!!!

btw there's a new 'controversial' movie out of my country its called Clip ( Klip ) ... and its basically a porno movie dressed as some lame soical commentary Yep dick vagina blowjobs penetration its all clearly visible

Lol why did you put this one up ?

Here's my problem As a fan of martial arts films and a fan of Asian movies in general I ma naturally dying to see a 800K budgeted Indonesian flick where 24 cops go into a building and all hell breaks loose However it might not be released for months over here that is if it gets released in the first place So my problem is the following ... hope to see it on the big screen in like 2-4 months ( which is not guaranteed at all ... more likely a 50 % chance ) or watch it online and jerk off to its awesomeness in my home ?
