I would LOVE to see a so-called black film that is not about slavery or racism, that doesn't feature the "magic negro" trope, that is not seen through the eyes of a white protagonist, or that doesn't need a major white star to "guarantee that white audiences go see it," and still becomes a major, major hit across all demos. I'm not taling 70-80 million dollar hit, I mean 200 million dollar hit. And no, Movies starring Will Smith or Denzel are not perceived as "black" movies.
Add up all the Tyler Perry Madea movies and that's $200m+...and since they're pretty much all the same there's your one big hit!

Great start for 42...I've only heard good things so definitely want to check it out. And that A+ cinemascore is really impressive.
-
I think you are probably on the money there. One thing is for sure though, the average attention span is declining.

Still remember seeing this movie when I was a kid like 3-4 times in the theater. First real huge summer blockbuster I can remember seeing multiple times with family and friends, etc. Might try to catch it again in theaters, though might not be able to this weekend and not sure how long it'll be out (is this a limited run?)

I'm hungry for a good theater experience.....Die Hard and Broken City sucked and even though Warm Bodies was good, someone brought their entire family with them which included 3 kids all under the age of 8....ya that was great to hear little kids during that movie.
I recently saw Side Effects and it was really good, I'd recommend that (if you haven't seen it already and it's still playing somewhere by you).

till IM3And never understood why WB spent so much on Jack...it was never going to do very well and a $25m ow seem about right. Also, OZ looks way better, has received much better reception and buzz, so it should do much better than Jack...just not sure $70m ow better. $50-60m ow sure.Nah, Iron Man has a built in audience and will get a boost from Avengers.It's the first event movie of the year with 400 million potential.Oz is just a warm up.

Angry Birds Star Wars recently came out...Disney now owns Star Wars and says movie coming out 2015-16...this announcement...now go cry yourself to sleep and have nightmares.

Sounds like the daily numbers threadSaw both Django and Les Mis today. Both were great, although I preferred Django. The crowd was really into it. It was an event. I saw Les Mis second, so my ass was a bit numb and I was a bit tired, but it was very good. Screenings for both were sold out. The audiences ate both of them up (although the Django reactions seemed more visibly and audibly enthusiastic).

Yes, because canceling two movies that will make $900m each to release only one movie that will make $900m makes alot of sense.Can WB cancel the trilogy idea with Hobbit and just combine 2 and 3 or is it too late? As in It's contracted/ they're already in production?

People go shopping last weekend before Christmas (especially when Christmas is early in the week) not the movies. Plus I think the nation as a whole is still in a bit of a downer with the whole Sandy Hook shootings and deaths, etc.These are bad numbers across the board. What the hell happened?
-
This. Everyone is doing Christmas shopping this week, not going to the movies. If TH has so-so drops next week then it'll be concerning. But I still say low 300s is happening.Totally disagree. Pre-holiday December weekdays are not great in general. NARNIA fell 73%, 12.5%, and 12.9% on its first three weekdays, for example.
-
lol, that made me laugh at the end. And I totally agree. TH becomes disappointment of the year(s) though if it can't even outgross IAL, but it will for sure.Did you see anywhere in my post that said it was a lock to outgross IAL? Are you reading someone else's words and interpreting them as mine.And btw....outgrossing IAL is a lock.

This is 40 looks leaps and bounds better than Guilt Trip.Well, there goes my Guilt Trip over This is 40 club. Oh well, I still think the former looks like a good movie.
Fuck This is 40

ShockingFell asleep twice during the first 45 minutes. Just a movie about a really long walk and Gandalf coming to save the day on every occassio even though he would have no idea where they were at times.6/10....easily the worst Rings movie
-
That wasn't his point.TH is no AVATAR and PJ is no JC. This film will not flop, but Avatar legs? Not a chance in hell. Not even close.
-
Well while Pi received a gg bp nom, I'm not convinced yet it'll def get an Oscar bp nom. But regardless I think Pi is sfx front runner (though I think Prometheus and TH could give it a run for its money or win outright).That's an interesting bit of trivia I did not know! Yeah, Pi definitely has it then.
-
Because most of us aren't crazy fanboys and understand this isn't a big disaster. (or that an OD of $35-38m is never enough to warrant stating a movie is a big disaster).There's been surprisingly little meltdowns for this big of a disaster.
-
Do you have a link for that? Cause that's hard to believe as yeah it's def the worst potter movie.Chamber of Secrets got an A+ CS and it is easily the worst Potter film.It holds no weight to me.
-
Totally different...$300m dom and $900-1b ww is still a huge success and not a bomb in the slightest. It's not a huge mega hit like some said, but not a bomb at all.Soooo just because I predicted John Carter would fail to make 100M DOM, that means it was a success?

I don't remember a 10 year gap between Potter movies and a prequel (not questioning Potter's performances, just saying that's not a valid comparison...if TH movies came out a year or so in succession right after LOTR movies then it would be). Also, haters can't have it both ways...they can't post for months to a year before release that TH isn't LOTR and people aren't as interested so it'll only open to $90m and make $300-350m dom, and then now that that's happening say it's bombing...it can't be bombing if it's doing exactly what you were predicting.It was entirely cash grab by WB/Jackson but I don't think they ever imagined this kind of performance by TH1. This just shows how strong Potter's performance was. It maintained it's audience unlike any other franchise.
