How long until someone starts an "Annie over Interstellar's total" thread just for the shits and giggles?

LOL get out.

Interstellar might make less than Ride Along. I can't imagine what the reaction would've been like had someone said that on January 1, person probably would've been stoned to death.

Yes, it was overestimated. Yes, it likely will miss $150M at this point. No, Nolan's career isn't in any kind jeopardy. Life moves on.

The movie is doing fine, people. Some just got too carried away and overrated Nolan's drawing power, I guess. The fact that this will end up with around $150M in the end is pretty remarkable. The movie wasn't an easy sell at all, so really, this is pretty much a best case scenario.

If you had told me several months ago Gone Girl would make more in total than Interstellar (and it's looking like a guarantee at this point), even I wouldn't have believed you. Funny how things work out.

Yep.

It's kind of pity Touchstone has gone away. I'm surprised they decided to let it vanish shortly after The Proposal became a massive blockbuster (and made much more money than most of the Disney-labeled wannabe blockbusters that have been made since then).

It's going to be pretty much gone by Christmas (due to the plethora of releases forcing theaters to clean house).

Great start. Should have no problem doing well in expansion.

The legs for Interstellar will sure be interesting. It'll either hold moderately well or completely collapse, neither of which would surprise me at all.

This was so much fun. Disney's recent string of success continues with this exciting adventure that also deals with issues like loss and how revenge solves nothing with a surprising amount of depth for an animated film. The animation is beautiful and colorful as expected, and the voice work is great across the board (Baymax is freakin' awesome, it must be said). Also, the short that runs before the film ("Feast") is delightful. A-

Wow. This was definitely an experience. While it won't be for everyone (this is arguably the most 2001-esque movie since...2001: A Space Odyssey), Christopher Nolan has crafted an astonishing and emotionally rich sci-fi epic that will give the viewer plenty to think about. I'm still processing the movie, actually. There are a lot of interesting themes presented here, dealing with time, space travel, pain, and love. Matthew McConaughey continues his recent string of excellent performances with a central performance that is moving in an understated matter. Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, and Michael Caine all deliver strong support, with special mention also going to young actress Mackenzie Foy (who was previously seen as the daughter in the Twilight finale). And Matt Damon (yes, you read that correctly) is also very good as a character who doesn't appear until the third act and plays a rather important role. But as good as the cast is, the star of Interstellar is really Nolan's incredible direction. This movie is a full-on big screen spectacle that should be seen on as big a screen as you can possibly find. The special effects and sound design match what we saw in Gravity last year in terms of perfection, while Hans Zimmer delivers another excellent score to accompany the sensational visuals. While not quite Nolan's best (which speaks more to the strength of his filmography more than anything else), Interstellar is nevertheless an effective, emotional motion picture that is a spectacle that needs to be seen (especially on an IMAX screen) to be truly believed.

After seeing the movie: really, Paramount did the best they could trying to make Interstellar into an event movie. It won't be everyone's cup of tea.

Then it's your fault for having expectations so high. Don't blame the movies.

This thread makes the Baby Jesus weep.

Trolling in the morning, trolling in the evening, trolling at suppertime.

That's quite good for both openers, IMO.

Movies are among the few things on this planet that are immortal, silly.

I will give one thing to Nikki: she's better than Anita Whatsherface who randomly throws numbers out early in the day and often ends up wrong.

Nikki just called me up and I think she was trying to tell me Interstellar was underperforming and Big Hero 6 was overperforming, but I wasn't sure. She was slurring her words so sorry!

Selfie (ABC) is cancelled.

Can't we all just...get along? Anyway, I, for one, think that's promising for both movies.
