Jack Nevada Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 When you guys were in high school was The Great Gatsby like the book generally everyone hated and nobody wanted to read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pensivepenguin Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I haven't read the other pages yet, I saw on Mojo IM3 couldn't crack $20M, is there a meltdown? Not really. For the most part, barring the usual folks going into hysterics, most folks are happy that two films can coexist and post good numbers (for Gatsby, great numbers). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i've heard it's the least hated of the books, but it's still hated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Gatsby was forced on us in America Schools. I liked "Lord of the Files" more personally, lol. It's an American Classic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody hated it, but nobody really tried to read it. We Sparknoted, etc. I didn't read it, I just listened very closely to my teacher and listened in our group discussions and I made an A on everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spidey Freak Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Lord of the Flies just wasn't terribly well written, imo, and its not subtle at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Is that from that Woody Allen movie? Yep, Midnight in Paris the best movie ever. Tom Hiddleston was F. Scott Fitzgerald and Alison Pill was Zelda Fitzgerald 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yes, frontloading gets worse and worse each year. So even if it had a similar multiplier to SM3 for instance, it would be an indicator of better WOM than SM3. If SM3 came out today, it would have a 2.0 or worse. IM3 faces a lot stiffer competition than IM2 did and frontloading is worse in 2013 than 2010, so if it matches that multiplier it would be a pretty solid result. $425m would be a pretty good total. how many excuses you guys will invent? and no no no, in 2013 SM3 would still have the same multiplier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Gatsby was forced on us in America Schools. I liked "Lord of the Files" more personally, lol. It's an American Classic though. Pretty much. But I do love the setting and can't wait to see this new version. I love the clothing jewels cars mansions etc. I bet it looks really good. LOL even though the story is full of awful people. Edited May 11, 2013 by ECSTASY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed it while they were back in the period settings. The present day setting was kind of weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
