Jem was clearly made to make a cheap buck of the pre-teen audience. Too bad for them they didn't realize that audience is in too much of a frenzy right now with new music from OneDirection and Justin Bieber to care about anything else.

I wonder if the epic bombage for SJ will wipe out a lot of its Oscar chances? It's not like it's an indie darling or anything, it kinda needed to be at least moderately successful to continue awards season momentum. On the bright side, if Fass is out for best actor frontrunner, this could finally, FINALLY be Leo's year. Though I won't hold my breath on that.

Including the docs, there are 4 Steve Jobs movies in the last 4 years. All 4 may combine for about a whopping 40m DOM.

That's a disaster for Steve Jobs. The wide OW is going to be right around Jobs, except this one cost 3x more. All of the other openers are probably losing money too. This really has been the banner year for bombs. We've had all kinds of worst wide openings ever.

Well it was all this board could talk about a few years back. I seem to recall the word "schlong" tossed around a lot.

On that subject, maybe Fassbender is just in the wrong kind of "adult" film to be a *ahem* big draw...

I'm sure Meryl will end up no lower than 7th for that movie in Supporting Actress. Hell, watch her still get the nom.

And one was actually deserved!

Serena shouldn't really count. Was just thrown out there in a few dozen theaters for the heck of it because it had two major stars. Anyways, I had no idea that Burnt was the movie formerly known as Adam Jones until I noticed on IMDB that's his name in the movie. Yeah, they clearly have no idea what to do with that one.

AS is 2015 for all intents and purposes. And he has Joy. Another solid year for him in the end.

When I think "Steve Jobs" I don't exactly think exciting move ready biography. Not helped by the fact that there was already a movie done and it was a snooze-fest.

That confirms Nolan is not perfect. Dude wanted to make JGL the future of Batman.

Ah good to know. As long as "they" conducted the study it must be reliable.

Unless legs are crazy and/or OS is surprisingly good, Jobs could be the more profitable of the two now.

Well I'm not a big TV watcher (stream the shows I do watch online) so I can't comment on TV ads. Marketing to me these days equals online+movie theater marketing.

I kinda thought Steve Jobs could go under BoS OW. The marketing for it was either non-existent or boring when it was present. Not exactly a winning combo for a big OW. At this point, the Academy will have to nominate The Martian and SW just to get anyone to tune into the Oscars.

Just looked at QoS on RT for the first time in years, and damn if that isn't one of the most misleading critic consensus write ups. They make it sound like it's actually good.

And Saw 6 was when it happened, so apparently 5 is the max the GA will tolerate for a successful horror franchise.

Kind of doesn't matter now since the third one already corrected that course back to the tone of the first. I just don't think it was ever all that interesting of a franchise in the first place.

Aside from "playing" Groot, watch Vin quit making other films altogether and focus on FF 8-30.

Yeah, that seems to be the case. The last time he was any kind of box office draw outside the FF franchise was The Pacifer 10 years ago. Or maybe even XXX 13 years ago. And no, he was not a draw for GotG before anyone brings that up. I highly doubt his presence added more than an extra $10 to the gross.

Wow, talk about a franchise being a shell of its former self. The other 4 sequels all grossed between 18-52m on OW, but now we're calling a potential 10m OW good. Yikes, what a weekend.

Lol, so Jem had roughly 3 people per screening for its showings last night. Jem putting those Holograms to work, since she's about to disappear.
