In defense of Jude Law, he does have matinee idol good looks ... at least until his hair started thinning alarmingly.

He's been such a RDJ groupie these days, it's kinda hilarious. Good actor though.

[Chewy]

Yeah Furious 6 will be super frontloaded. I don't think there's anything harsh about saying that, it is what it is. It'll still be a monster hit

[Ryan Reynolds]

Jude is a good actor...but remember that year he had like 5 movies and almost all of them did poorly?

I think that weird nanny scandal killed Law's career for a bit. I remember he was in every goddamn movie back in 2004.

No numbers for IM3 and TGG in the title? And I think STiD numbers are 26.5-28.5

Yeah, that was 2004. Sky Captain is still such an overlooked little gem.

[Jandrew]

$100M to $35M just doesnt look good to the eyes

[A Marvel Fanboy]

With 28M Sat, it is still possible to be close to 90M 4 days ...

 I don't think he's ever looked better than he did in Talented Mr. Ripley. But come to think of it. Jude Law got a lot of lead roles in mainstream movies. So at least he's had opportunities.

[Chewy]

I'm one of those few people who actually likes I <3 Huckabees, lol

[Ryan Reynolds]

Looks like at best Trek 2 can hit 225m at best...200m must be the goal now....shocking

[VanAuger32]

Yeah, that was 2004. Sky Captain is still such an overlooked little gem.

 

I didn't like Sky Captain when it came out, but it sure was different.

[Noctis]

$257m is not gonna happen. I'm thinking $210m.

[MovieMan89]

With 28M Sat, it is still possible to be close to 90M 4 days ...

Um, how? Even with a sub 20% Sunday drop it would still be looking at 85m tops for the 4 day. And sunday's drop will likely be more around 25-30%.

[Ryan Reynolds]

Jude Law >>>>>>>>>>>> Colin Farrell

at least

I was about to make the same point! 85m max

Nanny scandal wasn't even a real scandal.  Now Hugh Grant's career was damaged because of scandal. He was on his way to becoming pretty big in American film.

This reminds me of EXP 2.I still don't see a good reason this is happening.

[kayumanggi]

I absolutely loved the Villain.

However,

Must every Villain be caught on purpose these days? Wtf.

This movie was fucking awesome. I hope JJ keeps this up with Star Wars.

I really think it's as simple as the 4 year gap. The GA moved on from Star Trek since 2009. It wasn't an established enough franchise yet for the GA to care about it that long. 3 years is the most studios should wait for a first sequel, imo.
