CaptainJackSparrow Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well, I just lost respect for Ashton Kutcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I wouldn't quite call $96m a "small movie". Ok for Kick-Ass 2, Jobs too. Ashton Kutcher says "Box office is stupid, I don't know why people care about it". You wouldn't be in movies if people didn't pay to go and see them. So shhh. I'm still trying to grasp that this guy is really playing steve jobs in a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJackSparrow Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I am going to go on a hunch and say The Butler did less than Kick Ass 2 for previews, maybe under 1 mil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezen Baklattan Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Ashton Kutcher says "Box office is stupid, I don't know why people care about it". There aren't enough facepalm gifs on the internet to describe my reaction to this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 He was actually pretty good. OK then so it worked. That's good to hear. I just couldn't picture it. So he has some acting chops and not just romcom stuff. I'll catch it on Netflix when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecstasy Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 As an actor I can see him not caring about box office. That's not his job. That's for the suits to worry about. The producers, and studio execs. When or if he becomes a producer he will care about it then, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcclaine Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Kick Ass 2 - 17m The Butler - 15m Jobs - 8m i think is kinda low for The Butler. I'm going to some low 20's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitik Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 interesting numbers from rottentomatoes critics: Butler: 72%, 6.8 Kick Ass 2: 27%, 4.6 Jobs: 25%, 4.9 Paranoia: 2%, 3.8 audience scores: Kick Ass 2: 81% Butler: 72% Jobs: 53% Paranoia: 50% People aren't going to Kick Ass 2 expecting some profound piece of storytelling and deep insight into human nature. People only go to a movie like that if they want to see some ass-kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep Wang Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 How was the movie overall? I liked it. I don't know that I can recommend it for $10 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMan7 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 ....and here I was thinking that Jobs was going to be the social network of 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) interesting numbers from rottentomatoes critics: Butler: 72%, 6.8 Kick Ass 2: 27%, 4.6 Jobs: 25%, 4.9 Paranoia: 2%, 3.8 audience scores: Kick Ass 2: 81% Butler: 72% Jobs: 53% Paranoia: 50% People aren't going to Kick Ass 2 expecting some profound piece of storytelling and deep insight into human nature. People only go to a movie like that if they want to see some ass-kicking. That percentage is going to drop. It always starts out high. Green Lantern started out at 82% and ended up with 48%, same with After Earth. Lackluster start for the Butler though (I still think it's going to top the box office regardless).

tonytr87 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well, I just lost respect for Ashton Kutcher. Watch his speech at the Teen Choice awards and you'll see why he doesn't care about box office. There are more important things. It's actually an amazing speech.
