Weekend Estimates: Gravity - 55.5M; CWACM - $21.5M ;RR - 7.6M;

$60M OW would be extraordinary. If WOM keeps up, it is very possible.

 

Well I convinced my family to go so thats an extra like 30 bucks to contribute.

Wow at Gravity

[Chewy]

Congrats to those of you who put Gravity in your top 5 OWs

I'm more worried that something like "fizzzy fuck," with three Zs no less, is an actual expression people use, because I can't for the life of me figure out what "fizzzy" has to do with anything in the context of that sentence.

You are fucking fizzzy

Oooh kill em, Sandra.

Is that from The Blindside?

After Children of Men bombed I wasn't sure enough people would support Gravity.It seems audiences have gotten wiser since then.

Fantastic start.

Who was in that movie?

[BoxOfficeZ]

Holy shit, so October record might fall. 

[ecstasy]

So it seems this director is pretty versatile. I don't pay that much attention to directors unless they are prominent (always mentioned in the media). I looked at his IMDB page and was surprised to see that he directed Great Expectations (Paltrow-Hawke) and a Little Princess. Will this be his biggest opening? Never mind. I see he directed an HP movie.

Booooooo!  *cries*

Pretty different sorts of movies. One's a very bleak dystopian future drama, one's a crowd-pleasing action thriller in space.

Sandra Bullock=BO queen

 

You know, there is a time when BO doesn't mean Box Office.

 

Anyway, Bullock opens huge when playing her neurotic/comedic self. Before PROPOSAL, her last $100M grosser is

MISS CONGENIALITY in 2000. That is more than 10 years ago. BLIND SIDE is a fluke and fitted into audience need for

inspirational drama in the Fall. HEAT has McCarthy. The one true one-woman show Bullock blockbuster is THE PROPOSAL.

The low, middling openings of ALL ABOUT STEVE, EXTREMELY LOUD, LAKE HOUSE, PREMONITION, INFAMOUS show she is not a, uhm, BO Queen. 

[Dementeleus]

Oh Gitesh....

 

 

  @giteshpandya
Source puts #Gravity on track for about $20M today. Wknd may break $50M for new career records for Bullock & Clooney both.

Why would there be a correlation? Children of Men is essentially an indie drama (it had action, sure, but it wasn't marketed as "action" or "scifi") with a relatively depressing premise, no movie stars, and obviously no Gravity-esque visual hook.

Relative to most actors, she's a box office queen. There aren't many stars that can claim two huge hits in one year, and if the numbers hold she's now done it twice in the last few years.

So people can't tout Pac Rim as the biggest original live-action movie of the year anymore. What's the new qualifier?

There's plenty bigger.
