Borat did a $31,607 PTA in 837 locations in November 2006. If The Interview manages 1/4 the number of theaters and scores the same PTA, that would be an opening between $6-7M for the weekend, which doesn't sound like a stretch at this point.

PTA should be higher than Borat though.

Are they still doing that whole "look at us pretend to be gay" joke?

It's been 5 years.

A crappy Seth Rogen movie being released is probably not the biggest piece of news in the world.

Wow, that's simplifying it a bit, don't you think?

 

This is about international relations, North Korea censoring American art, a massive corporation being destroyed from the inside out by terrorists, and threats of attacks on civilians. And no matter what you think about it, this is the most talked about piece of news at the moment.

It's still funny though.

[Jack Nevada]

Pity a decent movie wasn't given this much free publicity.

Bullshit.

PTA should be higher than Borat though.

Screen space might be an issue though due to how short notice this is. A number of theaters won't be able to show it until next weekend because they can't rework their schedules. Although who knows, maybe the opening will be explosive enough the major chains will be pretty much forced to show it by next weekend.

Meh. There's bigger shit going on.

I'm not saying it would open higher than Borat. I'm just saying the PTA will be insane. Yah. It might open on only 200 or so theaters, but those theaters playing it should count insane sellouts.

Bullshit.

 

Even the 'good' reviews are basically shit.

 

I just think it's funny that a totally mediocre comedy will unwittingly go down as one of the most notable releases of this generation.

I'm expecting more theaters might cave in for the 25th

Have you seen it?

The Interview: The cinematic equivalent of a child running away from home after a bully yell at him, only to return home shortly after leaving the driveway.

I would love it if it stays at #1 on IMDB for a few years.

So we can expect hackers to start leaking stuff again.

so much hype around something that's bound to be underwhelming

YES!!!!!!

It's been such a slow week.

I know the FBI said that the NORTH KOREA is behind the hack, but I won't be surprised that someone at SONY is behind all the drama to generate more interest on the film. Good or bad is still a publicity.
