They cut TDKR off for Pitch Perfect. Than I ended up watching the shit 20x for some reason.

PP is my fav comedy from last year

Would be interesting how a Sandler/Ferrell movie would do, both are capable of $100m+ grosses on their own, would be interesting how a movie with both of them would do

Gotta go with mah man Bradley Cooper and Silver Linings Playbook if you consider that a comedy.

It would have to be a Sandler/Ferrell comedy, not a Sandler comedy that costars Ferrell if you understand what I mean.

l don't love Pitch Perfect (it's quite alright), so I'm appalled that I've seen it five times and I'm not even sick of it.

[Blankments]

Disappointed to seeing PR doing the numbers it is, but I think it'll have great WOM. My two friends I went to see it with said they came to make fun of it; they left loving it and saying it was their favorite blockbuster of the summer.

Don't you all think, that "Pacific Rim" is more of a westcoast movie? Should go up with evening shows.

 

8pm and not a sell out in sight for either Pac Rim or Grown Ups 2. Not even in Long Beach, CA.  Haven't checked LA though. Just checked Ontario, Long Beach and Irvine.

SLP is better but I consider that a dramedy.

I feel quite similar. I love how Anna goes off about how movies end up being so predictable, and Pitch Perfect ends up being one of the most predictable movies I've seen in the past the few years. It's got its moments though and the cast is charming.

 

Dat Anna Kendrick factor.

Ferrell just being in that typical Sandler style comedy wouldn't work for me either.  It would have to be something different feeling.

 

With an interesting concept, writing team & good trailers ... instead of the usual 30-40 million opening they see individually ... I would think 60+ opening (I don't believe it could do uber business opening weekend, but I'll see how Anchorman does this winter) ... legs would depend on if the film is utter shit.

What we see in Sandler style comedy nowadays ain't much of a style. It's mostly just sight gags and not much in the way of one-liners.

As I mentioned earlier in the thread ... haven't seen a Sandler comedy (outside Funny People) since Click, so I have no point of reference ... just what I read and hear.

Probably afraid to give us the truth...

I'm scared of what I'm gonna read from Rth.

I hope PR just does well enough that studio will still give Del Toro freedom.I'm also really thankful that WB is giving The Wachowskis a big budget summer blockbuster next year, even after two consecutive box office dissapointments.

Why should it matter? WB gave him freedom to make Pacific Rim, and they essentially dumped the film and treated it like crap.
