In my opinion, the Oscars have no credibility. Not saying anything bad about films that do well at the Oscars, but the system is biased towards... Well Oscar type movies.
And Harvey Weinstein!

Fun fact - AS opened a shade under Godzilla, and will outgross its total in 11 days of wide release.
Wow dem Godzilla legs be so shitty.
Because it was a shitty movie that had a pretty trailer.

It's widely considered a well-made movie, at the very least. Dishonest? Maybe. It's straightforward and unpretentious (if a bit basic and un-flashy). It's going to beat the fucking shit out of Mockingjay (probably both), though. Thank God.
Yeah, I don't care what anybody says, AS is a well made movie. A mediocre movie would never leave the audience stunned and silenced at the end the way this superb movie did.

Yes he reminds me of O.W.Fischer (that is the famous German actor). I am sure Waltz knows him too and tries to imitade him.
Either way, I just think there is definitely something with Mr Waltz that just grabs your attention whenever he's in a scene. I particularly loved him in Django Unchained.

In more bad news, Mortdecai also fell flat overseas, where Depp has remained a bigger draw. The movie grossed just $5.2 million from 33 territories. Germany led with $1.2 million.

Maybe he needs to dump his girlfriend. Since she came into his life, it's been all downhill for him.

I just don't see how it fails to reach 340M now.
Sadly, there are always circumstances that could lead this movie to fail reaching that number. All it takes is some nutjob to open fire in a theater in protest of the movie, and it's all over.

However the Oscars are fading away into irrelevance if they keep awarding films no one sees.
Back in the days people would flock to any film that got nominated or won, however even now films that win best picture people don't even care to check out as they are just so off base with the general consensus of average people.
Yeah, I thought that's what the Sundance was all about, to award and bring awareness to the obscure films no one has heard about. And sadly, I would rather see the Sundance picks over most oscar picks.

But the principal is the same, but it's right that if the public would vote best picture, it would be the most populair one and not the best. But it's also true that the oscars only root for drama's; And I don't think that the gerne have to be drama to be the best movie of the year...
With all due respect, we have several award shows where the public votes. The two biggest ones are People's Choice Awards and the MTV movie awards, and they can be about as extreme as the oscars.

Hurt Locker is better than inglorious bastards
The king speech is better than The Social Network/inception
Crash isn't better than anything
Slumdog millionaire over TDK. Lol
And they are just off the top of my head. The academy just like to be different with their opinions, even if the better film is starring them in the face, they couldn't possible share a popular opinion.
You forgot the biggest travesty.

lol there's a difference between most popular or most watched film and best film of the year.
Let's not get into this bullshit again.
The Academy gives fuck all what you think since people who would vote for Chris Evans as Best Actor or Kirsten Stewart for Best Actress and Transformers: Dark of the Moon for Best Picture. Wait, wait, if the people would vote for it, doesn't that mean that they are the best?
That's like letting children run the school. There is no logic in this recycled argument. Retire it FFS.
I can't buy the oscars knowing what best for nothing, especially when we got the likes of Harvey Weinstein somehow involved with more oscar wins than any other human in existence. I say, the oscars are going to award the ones where the producers are padding their pockets the most. And this is hollywood, where it's just as corrupt as Washington.

if AS makes 450+ and doesn't win BP, it will make future Academy Awards worthless
People will think, what do these old members (and non-members) know
People already do think the oscars are worthless. I bet you 1000 dollars, most people who watch the show don't watch it to see who the winners are, but to see what gowns the actresses are wearing.

Same here, I'd rather Birdman or anything get it over Boyhood.
Agreed. I never seen the movie, but I know for a fact that if it wasn't for it's little gimmick, Boyhood wouldn't have even raised an eyebrow.

It's funny, whenever a phenomenon happens, I never seem to really feel it. I guess Frozen I kinda got to feel the hype, but like Guardians, I saw it three times in opening week to crowded theaters, and it didn't seem anything special. Maybe if I go to a packed Sniper show in a few weeks, then I'll feel this
That's alright. I couldn't feel the phenomenon with the last 3 Harry Potter movies. I found them to be seriously lacking in quality and charm that the previous movies had.

What the actual fuck did you just make me watch?
Looks like Burger King head on Luke Skywalker and Ronald McDonald on Chunk's head!

Food is love. Food is life.
Bull shit. The only reason why people stay more than 20 minutes at a fast food joint is because a fight broke out.

For the record, American Sniper s gross will count for 2015, by the same token, a large chunk of Star Wars The Force Awakens will count for 2016.
Uh, for the record, this is indeed incorrect, since BOM has already got American Sniper climbing up the 2014 chart!

Cooper was spectacular in Pines. I loved him in Silver Linings Playbook, but Pines is the movie that convinced me he wasn't a fluke. I had some problems with the movie, but generally, Cooper crushed it. He also elevates AS, politics aside, from a good war film into a great watch by sheer force of charisma and availability.
Dude's the new king of Hollywood. Sorry Tatum- B Coops is the successor to Leo's crown.
Thank God for that.

"american sniper won't pass mockingjay as biggest 2014 movie because it's rated r and teenagers go to the cinema more often"
"I think that AS will suffer a huge drop this weekend!!!"
- some people on twitter right now.
Twitter? We had that shit here!

Thats good, but please take this discussion elsewhere. Most movies ala 80% IMO dont deserve what they make, but what can you do? Just enjoy this historic run, sheesh.
I just can't believe all the crybabies over this. There are movies that disliked/disappointed in or I found overrated, but I never gave a shit if the movie was making bank at the BO or not. I only get peeved when critics go gaga over a movie that I find to be a turd.

Cage is silly as fuck, but I can buy him and the characters he plays being like that. Depp's silliness always feels like an act
Eh, Depp was decent in Nick of Time.

Sniper gained 150 theaters this weekend, making it the widest release ever for an R-rated movie.
Selma lost 189.
Haha.
Ouch, burn.

You know what's an overrated depp performance? finding neverland. unbearable film in general.
There are very few Johnny Depp movies that I like. The only ones would really be Sleepy Hallow and Nick of Time. The rest were either meh, or ugh.
-
Holy crap that's massive for American Sniper. 70M+ is in play now and 400M+ as well. It's over for Katniss.
I wonder how a movie would fare consisting of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence playing opposing assassins.

Don't twist my words and be an idiot. Of course the majority of soldiers wouldn't do that. OBVIOUSLY.
But a shitload of soldiers either participated in torture or saw and did nothing, among other things.
Of course it's not all. What are you, five? That I need to state the blindingly obvious?
Every single soldier is different. But for goodness' sake, do some research and read about the endless war crimes and human rights abuses the US soldiers did in Iraq. There was a huge amount that knew and did/said nothing.
Come on now, lets not act like US is the only one that has soldiers being accused of warcrimes. [ur]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2627228/BREAKING-NEWS-British-soldiers-investigated-International-Criminal-Court-claims-committed-war-crimes-Iraq.html

Yeah, MTV really did go downhill. When they first came out, they did what I thought they would do, reward the movies that were good that didn't get rewarded at the oscars (like the year when we had Terminator 2 vs Silence of the Lambs, both outstanding movies, but T2 was a bigger draw with the younger crowd)
