There's been nothing decent aimed at the female audience since THG, so I expect this will be so. I do expect a decent male audience as well though, it seems like a perfect date movie too - there's something for everyone.
If it does 55m+ I'll be really pleased, I was hoping for 60m+ which is still possible. That would be awesome. I'm really pleased for the cast, who I love.

It's funny how much better the writing was this episode than the last. Martin isn't afraid to take whole sections of dialogue from the books, you don't have to change things just for the sake of it.
Awesome episode - best of the season. Sansa was awesome in every way. It's a pity she hasn't been given much to do this season.And The Rains of Castamere was brilliant.
He deleted some people's and didn't delete others - I guess he got tired after awhile and just copy and pasted JUST TOP 11 over some peoples 12th film. But he says he's gone through and deleted them all now.

I completely agree baumer, I can't believe everyone's so up in arms about this. Those 10 people were right, GI Joe 2 didn't make the top 12 and to be honest, I don't think it would have made the top 12 anyway and if I had it to do again I'd remove it. Clearly, the studio agrees or it wouldn't have pulled the film.
I disagree personally that it was locked to make the top 12. But the decision's been made. If TDKR moves to Wednesday or any other due dates are changed I don't want people clamouring for a do-over, because changes are always possible and you have to take that into consideration.
They shouldn't be penalized for making a correct call. Take Totem for example, he didn't have GI Joe 2 in his top 12 - which was the right call. But he's now lost his 12th movie 'That's My Boy', but has had to keep Battleship and Dark Shadows. Now if That's My Boy makes the top 12, he has a legitimate right to be pissed - he's lost out on those points through no fault of his own.Those 10 people correctly predicted that GI Joe 2 wouldn't make the top 12 (you generally need to get $120m to get there). Well, they were right and the studio obviously agrees with them or it wouldn't have been pulled. I think everything should have stayed the way it was - unpredictable things happen in box office - so what if a movie gets pulled or an opening day changes?
