American Hustle (12.20.13) NEW TRAILER PAGE 35
BadDevil replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
I've watched the trailer like atleast 10 times (for research purposes) and I've yet to spot Amy with a bra in any of her scenes. I'm so there opening nite! -

Didn't they have bra's in the 70's? That was clearly the one thing missing from Amy's previous oscar campaigns not enough cleavage, no go get that oscah gurl!!!!! -
Great odin's beard! this is the second crazy Thor prediction thread I've read today. I can see TDW making more then MOS WW but OS, don't think so.
-
I agree for the most part, but I'd say the OS gross for Batman '89 was actually pretty good for its time.
-
I'm actually quite excited for this film, although on a surface level its premise seems to have strong similarities to Elysium, it'll be interesting to see which of the two handles the whole class system issue better.
-
I'm certain there's gonna be a sizeable drop in attendance for the sequels. Despite it's huge bo I don't get the feeling that Avatar is anything like a long lasting cultural phenomenon that say SW was, or even something like the Matrix. To be honest, I think it's largely forgotten save a few internet die hards. But yeah, it's James f*ken Cameron, so only a fool would bet against him.
-
I don't think our positions are that far apart, it appears to come down to how much of an impact each of us feels the OS market expansion has been I think a little you seem to think alot.
-
Inflation has had a bigger impact along with 3D, then the growing markets themselves. But clearly it's basic common sense that the appeal of a movie has a bigger impact then anything on the success of a movie, BB done 374m vs TDK's billion, 3 years of inflation and growing os markets isn't the difference between these two film, it's the wom of one resulted in an increase in interest in the other and a higher gross.
-
Yeah but the bottom line is that MOS will make almost 100m more then IM1 when all is said and done. You can factor in 3D and ticket price inflation all you want, but it doesn't really change that fact. My original point wasn't to belittle IM1 achievements in anyway. IM1 done great overall and I'd like say interms of success they're actually on par with one another. I just don't buy the size of the OS market argument making any significant difference as to what IM would've made.

So do I and I personally prefere Casino to Goodfellas. -
But my point is SM1 and even SM3 came out before IM1 and yet still managed huge numbers OS, thereby proving it was possible for a superhero movie to break out big with existing markets.

I feel dirty after watching that trailer. Bale spanking Amy/Lawrence's butt like a drum is already my favourite scene of the year. Amaze-balls. -

It seems like every man dressed like pimps in the 70's. I'd be shocked if this doesn't atleast get a best custom oscar nom. Lawrence and Cooper's hair alone deserve to be nominated. -
I'm not arguing that the size of the OS market hasn't increased, what I'm saying is that this isn't the reason IM1 didn't do great numbers or BB or SR. It's more to do with the fact that audiences weren't that interested in seeing them so chose not to. The increase of markets isn't going to change that fact.

All I see is cleavage! gonna be first in line when this drops. That cast is amazing, except renner. -
I'm not sure why people keep making this argument to justify why films like IM1 didn't do that well overseas. SM1 done $400m OS all the way back in 2002, yes it's spider-man etc, but BB didn't manage it, neither did SR. Infact I'd argue that Spider-man has done more to popularise superhero's across the globe then any other single comic book character over the past 10 years. As to your other points, well none of that changes the fact that MOS has grossed more WW then either of the first 2 Iron Man films.

I don't really care whose hotter, I'd allow either one of them to nibble on my nutsack. -
My thoughts exactly. It's more the wasted potential then the final gross that I'm more disappointed by. But clearly MOS is a success, and that will ultimately be what it'll be remembered as.

So looking forward to this, the crazy hair styles alone are gonna be worth the price of admission. And the set pics of JLaw in that neck brace was just pure comedy. -
O.M.G! MOS drops have been horrendous, good god, what a disappointing run. Wolvie did alright I suppose, it's OS numbers are gonna save it. Conjuring had an impressive hold, and MU doen't look like it's gonna come close to 300m despite looking it would before DM2 steam rolled over it, competition can be a b*tch.
-
I might actually go see that, I enjoyed the first one. Although every fibre of my being is telling me it's gonna suck.
-
What irritates me most about MOS run is just when it began to stabilize and started developing something approaching legs it lost a sh*t load of theatres and once it lost imax, then good night vienna.

Doesn't surprise me, I think Prometheus could do really well internationally
