    At least this is a remake of a literary classic. How many endless comic book (most decidedly NOT literary classic) reboots must we be subjected to?

    That's actually not too terrible for Abe Lincoln, because most of the 17 markets were small. It's comparable to what it did domestic OW; not very good, but not the disaster that was expected. It should manage 60M or 70M OS but most it will comes months down the road, as the opening dates are very spread out and most aren't for weeks, if not months.

    SWatH got over 8? Nice!

    I haven't seen much in cinemas this year.Snow White and the Huntsman, A.The Woman in Black, B+The Raven, BWrath of the Titans, C+Prometheus, CAbraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, DI guess I should count Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy since I saw in the cinema in '12, when it finally arrived here. That was a B+

    I beg to differ. Snow White and the Huntsman was the absolute definition of a masterpiece. It was anything but bland or forgettable.

    They could go to see Brave.

    Allen is a legend, a Hall of Famer, and he needn't worry too much about this "wasted opportunity".

    Ah, it was probably only a few seconds of pain. I felt much worse for King Robert; he must have been in agony for hours, if not days.

    It's not that I wasn't listening to you. I never read any of your posts about it. Anyway, we'll see what happens.

    Not when it comes to sci-fi, comic book movies, art house movies, post-modern movies, etc.When it comes to period movies, rom-coms, chick flicks, Nicholas Cage movies, yes.

    For a movie like Brave, a family movie, 22M on Friday will possibly be closer to 70M than 60M.

    I was referring to this forum. Most people I talked to in person were kind of skeptical and a bit snarky about it, but the true venom against it was on the movie boards, including this one.
  13. rb02
    True, but hardcore fanboys at places at AICN tend to despise period settings (exceptions, most like Game of Thrones and about half don't despise LotR), so that's a factor as well. Even with a fanboy director, a period setting is going to repel many fanboys.

    There was a club for over 100M (which was ridiculed), but the vast, vast majority of projections on this board have been for a colossal bomb of Jonah Hex proportions.

    Eventually, that will happen. Or at least we can hope and pray.

    How so? If it makes 20M this weekend, it should at least make 40M at the absolute worst, and probably is going to make 50M. The budget was 69M, and the overseas numbers should be decent. It isn't going to be a hit, but it is hardly a bomb, either.

    As I recall, it hit 7th on the NYT bestseller list. It was a bullshit book, but very popular, which is why I was pretty confident that this movie was going to avoid bombitude.

    It helped that the real world liked the movie about 10,000 times more than the Internet liked it. That helped its legs, which were very good. No matter how much the Internet hates this movie, the fact is it sold lots of tickets, and not all were sold on OW. In fact, only around a third of them were.

    It's probably going to do OK overseas. Not sure if the audiences would be all that interested in a Lincoln biopic but a vampire movie directed by the guy who did Wanted, and produced by Burton, and it's kind of a fantasy, which plays well overseas, could be more attractive. I could see it doing around 100M if it gets enough theaters and markets.
  21. rb02
    I'll definitely see that one on Netflix, but it's the type of movie that seems just as good at home as at the theater. Glad to see it doing so well.

    Glad to see SWATH surpass both of the two weekend releases already. Notwithstanding that crappy 2nd weekend drop, it is slowly but surely showing solid legs overall. Who knows, maybe by next week, it starts to catch Prometheus.
  23. rb02
    Looks fantastic. Gave me memories of the Illusionist (the Neil Burger directed movie) which I absolutely loved.
  24. rb02
    It's not a disaster. However, if a 60% second weekend drop against two turd new releases is not a disaster, then a 59% second weekend drop against two successful new releases is most certainly not a disaster, either. Yet, there were more than a few people who implied or directly said that it was exactly that in the case of SWatH.

    Hardly disappointing. It will finish considerably over 200M OS.
