Not to good.

Well, I hope that's what it is, I'd like to see it succeed. Right now though, I don't see it hitting even 400M. More like 340-350M WW. We'll see.

Yeah, I expect the OS numbers to pull Wolvie up. Right now I'd think OS could be around 200M.

Oh are they that up? Last time I saw they were in the 50's. 68% is actually pretty decent.

Oh okay, phew.

If this makes 60M OW, I would have to think that this would make probably in the 130'sM DOM. 140 would be the top for me, given the reviews. I'm leaning towards 130M.

Lmao. Seems to be common theme. God forbid a movie doesn't hit the mark, and maybe falls 10-15 million short it's now being considered a 'flop'. looool. A 60 M OW is still great for it, although I guess Firedeep would disagree....

You can find them on the tumblr page! http://catchingupdates.tumblr.com/

Aw, seems like I was closer with my first prediction with 63M OW rather than 70M. Oh well :/

Lol. There's no time this time around for her to be in trees anyhoo. Very excited to see this game on the big screen.

Yeah, I will say that CF arena is....hmm....without spoilers....I'll just leave it as deadly.

I really was surprised at how funny this movie was. I'd give like an 8/10. The story was a bit eh, but it did have it's funny moments. Overall good funny film.

Really? I disagree, I thought the games in the book were really good. Problem is that your in Katniss's head, so you don't ever really have dull moments or ever really notice it (in my opinion). Not to mention they took away parts like Katniss's almost dying of dehydration, changed how some tributes died (clove for example), and some parts were sped up too quickly in the movie version. When watching what Katniss is doing in terms of a movie, I guess it would look boring since we only see the physical aspect of her being just in a tree, whereas in the book we get lost in all of the thoughts.

I gave THG an 8.5/10, B+ range (there is only a B or A rating on the poll, so I went with the A to round it up). I'll sum up my points as best as I can: First, things I didn't like: Honestly, the shaky cam in the actual games didn't bother me. What bothered me was the filming in the first like, ten minutes of the movie when Katniss is running through District 12. Like, the fast cut scenes, the camera moving all over the place bothered me. I hated it, I waited so long to finally see Panem and more importantly District 12 and you never get to see it. Also, there were moments in the film were Ross, I guess he really liked the actors/actresses faces, would have the camera zoom in so close to the characters faces that it was really awkward. Other thing I didn't like was the ending. I felt that the ending was very rushed, like I mean Katniss and Peeta win and then literally the film ends in like 3 minutes. Seriously? I know the movie was 2 hours and 22 minutes long but they could have just added, say, 5 more minutes? For me, they really really really needed the last scene or so that the book had, where Peeta finds out that Katniss did what she did not out of love, but out of survival. That her affections were fake and just for the sponsors. I noticed that my friends/family who didn't read the book thought either A) the romance was awkward; or that it was great to see them love each other so much (technically point A is somewhat right, but for the wrong reason). People who didn't read the book didn't really get Katniss's actions, and the last scene where Peeta finds out would have been a really powerful scene (not to mention some character development for Peeta) and would have made much more sense. I didn't like how small Panem felt to me. Granted, the budget was small, but when I read the books, the world of Panem felt so huge and alive to me. When watching the movie, I couldn't help but feel how small the world looked, since Ross never opened up the movie. He kept the camera also so confined to people's faces or just on two people. It just felt really small to me. Okay okay okay, I'm done ranting, now for what I liked: I loved loved loved the tone that Ross gave this film. Unlike a lot of people, I'm glad he didn't put songs from the album into the film until the credits rolled. I think having none of the songs, and a lot of the time just complete silence, really made the tone of the movie dark, gritty, and pretty much how I felt when reading the book. He did turn this movie into the usual, teen-girl fan movie, but kept it true to the book. I loved the whole cast, thought everyone was good and pictured them pretty much they way they were depicted. Peeta was okay, I know his character didn't shine in this film, but hopefully CF will develop him more. Jennifer Lawrence and Stanly Tucci to me were the two best in this film. Hands down. Woody is a close contender as well, I really liked him as Haymitch. Yeah, I know he wasn't as much as a drunk in the film as the book depicts, but for the film sake they did kind of needed Haymitch here to fill in the gaps in terms of story wise for the people who have not read the books. I, personally, loved the score. I liked that it wasn't overally dramatic like super hero level score, because that is not what this story is about. I actually liked how they changed Cato's character at the end, and actually made him a bit more vulnerable. I felt that this would be more realistic of a 16 year old boy (I don't care how much training you've gone through, when you know you are probably going to die anyone will break down, especially at a young age). Not to mention, it seemed to me that what he was saying at the end was that I think he knew that the Capital wanted "The star cross lovers" from 12 to make this whole time, and never him and Clove (that's just how I take it) and he knew he fell for it. I don't know, I just liked how the film showed that Cato was after all not really the villian (as the book mentions) of these games, but the capital themselves are to blame. Cato was just another puppet, and he knew it. There's a lot more I could go on, but I'll stop here. I'm soooooooo excited for CF.

I'll say 450M.

Daaaaaaaamn. I knew R.I.P.D. was going to flop, but not this bad!!! I thought it would be at 15M OW......I guess I was being generous!

^Aaaaaaand with that vote, CF broke the tie!

One that blew me away was Million Dollar Baby. Watched it for the first time with the family, none of us had no clue what it was about. We just knew it won awards and stuff, so thought it might be good. Boy....that movie is probably one of my all time favorites. It's a really powerful movie, great dialouge, great story. Those who haven't watched should.

That, or I would even redo some scary movies that could have been better, like Phantoms (based of Dean Koontz novel, really great). It could have been really good, but it was just bleh.

Not now since it came out in 2012 (and they are I guess doing sequels) but there should be a remake of the Rurouni Kenshin series on film. The one they did last year was blah. It left out big characters.

Catching Fire!

Hunger Games- 10/10 Catching Fire- 10/10 Mockingjay 8.5/10 If I HAD to chose the order of books I loved the most..... Catching Fire> Hunger Games> Mockingjay

Jlaw and RDJ!!!!! Those two have to be in some film together! Although, the Jlaw and DiCaprio mix sounds good too!

1. Mockingjay Part 2!!! 2. Jurassic Park 4 3. Star Wars 7(really really really hoping it doesn't suck....) 4. Prometheus 2 5. Warcraft!!! (the dork side of me is really excited) 6. Assassin's Creed 7. Finding Dory And that's pretty much it....don't really have 3 more to think of. (If your wondering why I have no superhero flicks, it's because I'm not really interested in any of them).
