  1. Tuesday should be the biggest of the lot but not all movies will benefit equally obviously. Wednesday is Ladies' Day so that should be good as well. Tomorrow will probably be similar to today, perhaps slightly weaker.

     

    Also, I'm surprised how weak sunday evening business has been given that tomorrow is a holiday. I thought it would behave more like a saturday in that regard.

    RDJ on indie movies

     
    “...they’re exhausting and sometimes they suck and then you just go, ‘What was I thinking?’ " Downey Jr. explained about why he wouldn't sign up for an independent film.
     
    "But I’m interested in doing all different kinds of movies. Sometimes the little movies are the ones that wind up taking the most out of you because they’re like, ‘Hey, man, we’re just running a couple of days behind. Do you think you can stay through your birthday and then come back on the fourth of July. And, by the way, but, like, the crew — can you pay for the craft services? And, oh, by the way, man, when we go to Sundance, it’s like, can we just sit you in a chair and you can sell this for six days in a row so that we’ll make 180 bucks when it opens in one theater?’” he continued warming up to his subject, pretending to be an indie moviemaker. And then caps it off with his own rejoinder.

    “Actually, most of you are kind of inexperienced and lame,” he said.

     

     

    He'll only accept indie movies with spanish subs.

  3. Oh lord franchise wars. :lol: Harry Potter while still chugging along is no where near as huge as it was at the height of it's popularity. It will get a resurgence eventually but trying to argue that it has more American cultural relevance then Marvel which has last about 50 years or so not counting their time as Atlas/Timely Comics is just silly. Maybe in 50-60 years Potter will surpass Marvel but at this point, I really don't see how this statement can be made. Also have no idea the state of both worldwide so if someone from Europe like James says Potter's more popular there I'll easily believe him.

     

    It is. Easily.

     

    I don't know about Asia in general but in Japan there's no competition either, Potter wins hands down.
