  1. I'd be surprised if this grosses more than 500 million. In.
  2. no one cares about star wars in india. its only known second hand via references to it by dorks in shows that indians love like bbt and himym. the star wars prequels were ignored in india.
  3. if cranston gets nominated he will win the oscar. sorry leo.
  4. this movie turned out to be like what jeremy jahns said while reviewing 50 shades of grey. making a shitty copy of a shitty film doesn't make a good movie.
  5. @Grofers do you deliver in rohini ( pin code 110085, 110086)

  6. To kill the competition. Or they thought they could monetize it. And failed. Google is famous for acquiring stuff at hundreds of millions of dollars only to shut it down.
  7. There are websites more popular than BOM that don't make any money. The primary cost of operating BOM is not the software or server storage. Its the cost of collecting box office data. Anything that has been automated is dirt cheap. However the data gathering is expensive. Without people willing to pay for that data it will not survive.
  8. It shut down for the same reason the forums died down. There's no money in it. I imagine Amazon did an evaluation of how many paying customers would be there ( which unlike people saying they would subscribe rarely turns out that more than a 1000 people would be willing) and there is no way they could recover the cost via advertising. The executives will get the data from deadline or imdb as part of a corporate membership. There is no way an group of 1000 amateurs paying 10 dollars a year would be worth it to run a site like BOM. Today the internet advertising model is dominated by the toothbrush model pioneered by Google. Only those things are viable that a vast section of people use at least once a day. 10,000 people checking BOM daily isn't viable for advertising. If it survives its a part of IMDBPro.
  9. Finally saw HTTYD 2 and couldn't believe what I saw. For a company so dependent on franchises the movie is not made for American kids at all. Where's the toilet humor for young boys? And what was that with the entire 20 minute sequence of Hiccup's mom and dad? They seemed to have given up on the domestic market and only concentrated on overseas for this movie unlike the first one.
  10. There has to be a certain quota of writing and directing emmys speeches to be broadcast if they want to show clips from the shows during the telecast. This is a part of union negotiations between the academy and the guilds. All acting speeches can't be shown without wrecking the quotas. Part of the reason why both Oscars and Emmys tend to be snoozefests vis a vis the Globes which is concerned about maximum celebrity wattage alone. In recent times the Emmys have had a hard time even getting the networks on board to broadcast the show.
  11. Can someone give the race percentages of theatre or acting majors in the university system in the US?
  12. Probably but he can enjoy being the boy toy till she keeps him, if he knows whats good for him he'll be the doormat. I am sure he has some money mentioned in the prenup also plus spousal support will be there too for him in his future as he gets a share of her married life earnings.
  13. You mean something critics and GA hate but you like?
