Wow, there's a chance (even though it's incredibly slim) that Gravity could out gross Thor 2. And that's pretty cool.

I have a feeling Thor won't be all that. Could definitely turn out that way.

No, but the fact that it's even in the conversation is astounding. I remember when I expected this film to be buried in Thanksgiving 2012.

Holy shit!

I'm so happy for Sandra, her career has been going great these past years Hope it'll continue on for a long time.

Just got out of the movie. It was really good, although there were some contrived situations. The Indian astronaut singing "Mera joota hai Japaani" made me laugh out loud. More thoughts later.

I thought you might like that.

Do you think if you put Clooney in Runner Runner it would open higher?  Concept really isn't all that appealing.

No, because Clooney can not open a movie either.

 

Bullock can.

very quick note, think atm RR be around 3m, Grav around 20m (19-22m) see how it stacks up evening think it should be over 20 with over 3500 thrs but we'll see

20m!!! Holy crap, with an OW in the mid to high 50's and incredible WOM there's no telling how high it could end up!

[MovieMan89]

Once in a while, there comes a movie that is made by not just anyone, but by someone who's willing to put his whole mind into challenging the unthinkable, to spend a whole ass long time working his ass off to achieve the impossible. For the soul of film-making, this kind of movie needs to be rewarded both at the boxoffice and at the award season. It's just beautiful to see that Gravity and Alfonso Cuaron are getting what they deserve, and it's time for the acadamy to award a sci-fi.

It really is. I don't even need to see the other BP contenders, I want Gravity to sweep the Oscars this year more than I've wanted any film to since ROTK.

lol

I don't think GRAVITY will win BP.

[MovieMan89]

I seriously wouldn't count 300m out if this nears 60m for OW. 5x multi is in the cards, imo.

[Chewy]

The academy will probably snub this. It's what they do

cloud atlas failed because of its long runtime

 

graviti wins because of its short runtime

[MovieMan89]

I don't think GRAVITY will win BP.

If it's a massive box office hit like it's already shaping up to be, and with the astronomically good critical reception, I honestly don't know how the Academy will be able to deny it.

Er, no...

I hope this is a joke

RR $3M opening, can't wait for July 2015

You mean like all those other times where they gave BP to an action/thriller (big hit or otherwise)?
