"You two sons of bitches are going to college!"
Released: 2012
Directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller
One of a remarkably small number of action-comedies in the past few years, hitting all the right marks with both critics and audiences, 21 JUMP STREET sneaks in to rank #42.
Wow, 8M is great, it will do significantly better than my estimated 14M. I thought it would do awfully, this is kind of okay. WoM will be bad though, legs will collapse imminently.

"Sarcasm is the refuge of losers."
Released: 2006
Directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris
A dramedy with a strong cast and good reviews? Mark it down for our list. LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE parks up at #43.
I'm not convinced. They can still be made on a very small budget and earn a lot of money. If a movie grosses 30M in wide release, that isn't usually very impressive. When it was made for a couple million $, it's actually pretty great.
Horror films will continue to attract teen audiences to the cinema. Teens come out for every single piece of garbage horror film that gets shoved in their face.
Because the film is getting an early VOD release. Not a day one VOD release, not even a VOD release while it's in cinemas, but it is being released online two weeks after it leaves cinemas. So some cinemas are boycotting it as they don't want to support the notion of on demand releases moving slightly earlier.

Poorly made trailer but I'm looking forward to it regardless. It's got the original writer and the original cast, and I thoroughly enjoyed the style of the games, so what can go wrong?
