Cairo Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I was expecting Rush to make more money but I guess it's my fault for underestimating Olivia Wilde's box office track record. She should make a movie with Taylor Kitsch, maybe they would cancel each other and the movie would become a big hit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Olivia Wilde is not box office poison, she s arsenic, cyanide and leper altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Enough Said is the winner of the weekend. It should have a very solid run for a specialty movie. Still somewhat surprised Cloudy 2 opened behind HT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I know you guys are kidding about Wilde but really, most people have no idea who she is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Regardless of whether or not her name is used for advertising for her films (and sometimes it is), Wilde shouldn’t be getting offers from major directors, given her box office track record. I think nepotism definitely played a part in her career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I know you guys are kidding about Wilde but really, most people have no idea who she is. True. Yet she's been the leading lady in a lot of movies. I don't watch House M.D. but it is obviously a very popular television show and she was on it for years. Pretty lady and she must have a hell of an agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think nepotism definitely played a part in her career. I was just wondering about this. I thought it was a good agent. Who is she related to?

ecstasy Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 Apparently her parents helped with getting her career started. Well that's pretty vague. That happens a lot in the business anyway. But who are her parents and do they have that kind of clout? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think nepotism definitely played a part in her career. Well, to be fair, she looks exactly like her character in Rush did in real life, so I get why she got this part.

Ruthie Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It's strange. I have seen lots of people saying that KFP2 was great, some asserting it was better than the first one. But I've also seen not a few people telling that it sucked.... I think KFP 2 was waaaaaaaaaaaay better than the first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 A year ago I would of predicted Cloudy 2 to do around 30M, but after Hotel's OW and the high predictions it seemed likely it would do better.But when this was first announced I didn't think it would do as good considering the fact Cloudy felt like a stand alone film.

John Marston Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 3d share for Meatballs 1 was 60% but only 28% for 2. That means it can sell more tickets but barely make more. This could be a problem with Dragon 2 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonwo Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I think had Cloudy been released a year ago, I think it would done a bit better, 4 years is too long a gap between films but still a solid result for Sony and it'll crack $100m for sure. I think Sony will likely have a film that will break the OW record for September in the next four yeaes, I'm thinking it'll be either The Equalizer or Hotel Transylvania 2 although if Popeye manages to be released in 2016 or 2017, that has the potential to be a hit.
