  1. I can't remember the last time I was more dismayed with the box office?

    It appears people want something new before they shell out the money to see something in theaters. AR waited too long to come out and there's not enough fans to sit through a 4th been there done that movie, and Tit's main demo (young/old females) aren't paying the 3D premium to see it in theaters when they've watched it countless times on dvd/tv already.
  2. Care to explain that one? How exactly did you school anyone? Where was your prediction for anything? I don't see one. If you are such a know it all, play the summer game and see how well you do. I dare you. Smart ass. It's easy to say you knew this and knew that and so on and then not predict a number. I predicted Titanic to drop today, in fact I predicted it to drop 10-15%. What do you predict?

    He seems like all talk man, I doubt he plays the summer game.
  3. All of you saying this will fail over the weekend, be prepared to eat crow. Just like the original release, the weekends will shine greatly. I can see near 30M.

    Please post your breakdown on how this gets near $30m this weekend.
  4. Someone should change the title and put that freaking gargantuan 24 M of a Friday there.

    Na, that's risky...don't want the gamers all pissed off if for some reason the number drops to $21-22m. I'd wait until later this morning when it's more official.
  5. still doubting, disappointing indeed.

    The only reason I'm happy your crazy high predictions for THG have (so far) been correct, is I want you to also be correct about your crazy high predictions for TDKR :lol:
  6. I think the craziest/most amazing thing about THG bo run so far is its second weekend is what a month or two ago many of us (including me) thought its ow would be :lol: I wish I liked the movie more so I could be enjoying its amazing run more (which is the same reason I think Baumer hasn't been enjoying its run more either).

  7. Saw this last night (thank you discount Tuesday) and while it was pretty good/ok, it wasn't great at all. Perhaps, like Baumer, this movie just wasn't for me and didn't really connect. I think it partly has to do with me having not read the book yet (I want to now though) and me being 29 and the movie clearly being aimed for a younger audience.I liked the concept, Jennifer lawerence was good, as was Harelson and Banks, but I didn't like the actor playing Peter at all (they had no chemistry, but I know that was partly on purpose) and found hardly any excitement or tension durning the games. Plus, as others have pointed out, I thought the games took weeks but in the movie in seems like only a few days and I didn't like how they "Truman showed" the results and manipulated the games with fire and weird mutant computer dogs. I also didn't feel much connection to the characters and therefore many of their deaths weren't a big deal to me (obviously those who read the book would feel different I'm sure).I also don't think the PG-13 rating, shakey cam and low budget helped things (but the PG-13 rating was always a given). Having seen, and liked, Battle Royal, and this feeling like a watered down kiddie version of that also didn't help things.Anyway, I can see how teens and college kids are eating this up, but it was just an ok/pretty good, but forgettable, movie to me.7/10 or C/C+
