  1. Still kinda disappointed in Croods number. No breakout, but at least it did not bomb. 

     

    Great for Olympus. 

     

    Eh, looks like bad WOM is killing Spring Breakers. I guess that is what happens when a film mocks it's target audience. 

     

    Good hold for Oz, 

     

    OMG SLP so close to 130M! :D

     

    I don't think Spring Breakers' weekend gross is an indication of WOM one way or the other. It's simply not the type of platform release that breaks out. Doesn't matter anyways since it already made its budget back. Also, I'm pretty sure teenagers and young "spring breakers" were never the target audience.

    Trailers: The Bling Ring, The Hangover Part III, Disconnect, Pain & Gain

     

    Movie: A truly wild ride. The large theater was about 70% full, and it seemed half the audience consisted of teen girls under 17. One group of girls who looked about 14 in front of me in line were escorted by someone's mom. They sure got a whole lot of shaking boobies and booties.

    Is Franco as good as the reviews say? It's funny how obvious it is when he's invested in a role (Spring Breakers, 127 Hours, Pineapple Express, Milk) and when he's there just for the paycheck (Apes, Oz, Eat Pray Love).

  3. It's been a crappy year so far, but IT IS late winter. Did you guys forget that this time of year always sucks? Even March doesn't look that great. I'll probably watch a few because I like to sample a wide variety of movies (good and bad) every year, but The Place Beyond the Pines and Evil Dead are literally the only two films I'm legitimately excited for between now and May. And that might change for the latter if reviews are bad.

     

    Edit: the new trailer for Spring Breakers piqued my interest as well.

  5. Okay but people should just stop with the " a movie not doing at least 150m dom-500m ww is a flop/disapointment" mentality.The Expandables 1 & 2 are great successes not big or enormous, they are making money and a third is in the pipeline.FYI, the number of people who went to see The Expandables 2 in America is the population of Sweden.The nostalgia audience for Expandables is enough for its producers but it seems this audience doesn't care if the old farts aren't together.We ll see if Stallone and Willis can do better, Willis obviously will have no problem doing better than Ahnuld...

    Nobody said they were flops/disappointments. LMAO. That was exactly my point. These sorts of movies only do well nowadays if there's a gimmick added to it i.e. The Expendables.
  6. Does nobody realize that, unless you've got a novelty gimmick like The Expendables, these old school action movies don't appeal to people anymore? Audiences were inundated with them in the 80s and 90s and now, after they've been wowed by the likes of the Matrix, Pirates, Transformers, Avengers, etc...why would a concept with simple shootouts and explosions appeal to people?You all saw how The Expendables II, despite being a better movie, made far less than the original. Why is that? The novelty had worn off for the most part, and the Arnolds and Stallones are no longer the sort of heroes that modern audiences identity with.
