I plan on seeing the movie again this evening. LOL...I've been browsing the internets and apparently it was something to behold. When I got back to the theater Jordan Belfort had already made it back to the house. Baumer - let me ask you this, did you see Belfort as a villain? I agree with this quote from a Slate review: It may be great cinema to document his exploits, but there's a fine line between satirizing Wall Street's excess and celebrating Belfort's lifestyle. Put simply, the film could have done a better job making Belfort look like a villain. http://www.slate.com/blogs/business_insider/2013/12/25/_the_wolf_of_wall_street_reviewed_by_bankers.html The reason why I gave it a B was that I thought Scorcese's balance between the excesses and consequences was imbalanced. Sure, the last 30 minutes or so, everything came crashing to a head but he lived an immensely enjoyable life up to that point. He then got out of jail and apparently has a successful career as a motivational speaker. I'm all for redemption but I wonder how young financiers will view this film. He seems to have gotten off pretty easily after living the alpha male lifestyle for so long at the expense of ordinary people.

Interesting. Thanks for the link (I went to the bathroom and missed the quaalude overdose scene...lol).

That is impressive! I was expecting a drop.

Elysium

comedy about a man who knows he has 30 days left to live. Next Christmas

Any word on Frozen numbers?

How are you old friend?

Am I the only projecting at least a 35% drop for Frozen today? Maybe 45-50% (perhaps unlikely due to lack of competition)?

We'll have to see. I see your point though. While this Christmas is very crowded (not sure what Mitty's audience will be) but on the other hand Treasure Island had Thornberry's, Santa Clause, and HP: COS to contend with. The direct comp for Frozen is less severe.

DOS had better have a better increase on Wednesday than TTT did (59%)

bump...this one was first. Please delete other thread

Comparable weekdays http://www.boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2002-12-23&p=.htm Frozen is similar to Treasure Planet

MERRY COMMEMORATION OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST FOLKS.

Look at the last comparable year, 2002. Frozen's jump is normal. It will have a 45-55% drop on Christmas Day.

Looking at 2002 Dailies...it looks like Frozen's performance isn't abnormal. Expect a steep drop on Christmas Day. http://boxofficemojo.com/daily/chart/?sortdate=2002-12-23&p=.htm

Hope you're right but how so?

Wait. Frozen increased? That's it! I'm going to see what all the fuss is about. #lastpersononearthwhohasntseenFrozen

I LOOOOOVE THAT PREVIEW!!!!
