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!

Like Spike Lee should be anyone showing any 'tude after his Anti-Django rant fail.
-
Hmm, good point about "The Running Man" influencing THG trilogy too. Did not realize that at all.
-
I think AiW and Pirates 4, though commercially successful, did a lot to knock Depp off a couple of pegs down in the levels of superstardom. DS BO performance was GA's way of telling Burton/Depp that "Fool us twice.." as trailers kind of showed same old, same old. Plus, DS was based on a really obscure ancient tv show which was apparently cheesy and not that popular during its time. Not so much the case with Gatsby.
-
LotF is such a hot mess. But I guess if it weren't for Flies, there probably wouldn't have been Battle Royale, and in turn no The Hunger Games. Of all these high school reads, the one I have forever been hoping for is a cyberpunk version of The Catcher in the Rye. Holden Caulfield is such love! Make it happen, Edgar Wright or Wes Anderson!
-
Yup, Hiddleston played F. Scott Fitzgerald in "Midnight in Paris", the man who would go on to pen The Great Gatsby. Which is why TGG being the movie to foil IM3's plan of total BO domination is so
-
Just realized, Gatsby raining on IM3's parade was a huge space and time travelling scheme on Loki's part. After being humiliated by the Avengers, Loki transferred his soul to Earth and sent it back almost 90 years to possess Scott Fitzgerald, compelling him to write The Great Gatsby, in anticipation of what would happen in Summer 2013. And HERE is the face of the despicable perpetrator of this diabolical act- Familiar much?
-
I don't really think Dark Shadows/Gatsby comparison is right. GA were already let unimpressed by Depp in Pirates 4, and reaction for last Burton/Depp offering, AiW, was mixed. DS didn't seem all that exciting from the trailers too. Gatsby OTOH stars Leo, fresh off Inception/Django mega popularity and the book is one of the most popular American classics. Plus, Baz movie trailers are always neat and stylish. Gatsby overperforming shouldn't be used as a gauge for IM3 WOM at all. Leo is on a roll and GG capitalized on that nicely.
-
Or TF2. Ugh, TF2 crawling to 400m made the 400m movie club lose a lot of its sheen for me.

Spidey Freak replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
So true about Guardians. Till date, some people I know think I am talking about the Owls movie whenever I mention it. That is the folly of generic sounding big movies. Big Hero 6 stands out instantaneously. Heck, it was the ridiculously fun sounding title which got me to look into the characters and their appearances in comics, when I first came across them in a Spider-Man crossover event. -

To each his/her own. Personally, I find it awesome as it perfectly manages to capture the fun and adventurous tone of the series. Animated movies have had far more awful titles like The Croods, Tangled (ugh, takes the cake in ugliness) and even upcoming "Frozen" is so sounding. -

Eh.. I know who The Lady of the Lake is. It is just that the image made me think of KKBB as I watched it some hours back and there is a whole "chapter" titled "The Lady of the Lake" in the film.
