The Great Gatsby (2013)
Spidey Freak replied to baumer's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
Whoa, you found it better than Moulin Rouge!? Gotta check this out now! -
Wasn't there a STID Over IM3 thread floating around?
-
Wouldn't ST09 numbers or sub ST09 numbers be considered a huge disappointment for STID though?
-
Uh, I am pretty sure expecting it to make 200m DOM weren't exactly "high hopes". And TS3 releasing just the year before is relevant as Pixar is the studio which is most recognized by the GA as a unique brand of its own. The immense goodwill generated by Up and TS3 should have worked wonders for Cars 2 if it hadn't been so shitty.
-
Not an out and out bomb but a disappointment in that it won't come close to TH2.
-
It is telling that Pixar's lowest grosser in years succeeded its highest grosser ever though. What does that tell about Cars 2?
-
True. Or ParaNorman. That little movie took me completely by surprise with its unexpected brilliance!
-
I don't see Hangover 3 coming close to its predecessor considering the competition involved. I also see STID being a one-week film with a disappointing run. So I see those two being the biggest disappointments, if not outright bombs ala DS and Battleship last year. AE may end up surprising with a decent OW and run. Never underestimate Will power and M. Night, despite his record critic wise, only has one true bomb in "The Lady in the Water" so far.
-
Pixar and animated movies were on a roll in 2010, with Pixar's pinnacle and highest earner ever in TS3. Cars 2 managed to squander away 80% of the goodwill TS3 and its predecessors earned for Pixar, that was its power of crapiness.
-
Only because that year (2011) sucked ridiculously for animated movies. The previous year had 5 animated movies make it to 200m DOM and beyond and 2011 had 0 animated movies reach 200m!
-
It really is an enjoyable movie that deserves all the $$ that it got. Not an awards-worthy flick and weaker than its predecessor but still loads and loads of fun and one that I can watch again and again and again, without getting tired.
-
And for minimum wage!!
-
400m should be the goal. Anything above that is pure, delicious gravy!!
-
Sam is a girl?
-
I could really see STID being a one weekend movie with a disappointing run. Especially since reviews are saying it isn't as good as its predecessor and the weekend after STID is a goddamn blood bath.
-
It is near TA's level. Which is why it is getting such good WOM and bumper weekends in the first place.
-
Wouldn't that CA number be ANYTHING but boring, considering Cap is assumed to be the weakest link of TA and his solo film is expected to have the lowest gross? Also, didn't you say earlier that you really liked IM3? What's with the negativity all of a sudden man?
-
Armor porn and that awesome sauce mid-air rescue sequence don't hurt either!
-
OMG, official estimates plz be the exact same!! That is stupendous for IM3 Cool for Gatsby too. It didn't free-fall like some people feared it would.
-
They have these special dance numbers called "item songs" featuring hot girls shaking their stuff in every Bollywood film to cater to the horndog audience! Baz's inspirations from these Bollywood item songs can be prominently seen in Moulin Rouge!, where he even features one called "Chamma Chamma" (originally from the film China Gate).

It looks absolutely divine but "Donor" kebab makes it sound like the traditional snack of a cannibalistic dystopian society where folks are raised just so that their organs are harvested for future kebabing purposes!
-
OMG, having to watch shaky hand cam movies from the front row would be an outright punishment!
-
Yeah. 127 Hours too. If you have a really charismatic and engaging actor playing the subject around whom your survival movie revolves(which they have here), people will be interested. It all depends on story and treatment.
-
I mean sure if ( 'when' is more suitable here since its Cuaron ) the movie is great they oughta forgive it but still its nice that such a big star decided to do a supporting/cameo kind of role ... its probably cause its gonna be a kickass movie and he/she felt it DAMN, I was kind of daydreaming and accidentally clicked on that spoiler button without paying attention and read the spoiler.. and now this movie is ruined for me! Ruined, I tellya!
