Runner Runner shows Affleck is still not that discriminate with movie roles

 

Wish the guy would just stay out of everything but his own movies. 

[tonytr87]

Also, some are assuming Gravity will stay flat or drop? Why? 

[iceroll]

The Thursday/midnight gross was pretty small compared to Friday number.

Loving that Gravity number

Fun fact for the day.There's a Pyongyang International Film Festival.

Let me guess: Kim Jong Un wins Best Director?

Let me guess: Kim Jong Un wins Best Director?

Only if he has his dad's filmmaking talent.

Knew that Gravity's Friday number was slightly being over exaggerated.

 

I should also point that Gravity probably sold as many tickets at the Heat did (maybe less). It's just high because of the 3D.

Gravity could be frotloaded this weekend due to the insane hype that the film generated over the past few weeks. But once wom kicks in, this should have amazing legs. This was the best 'blockbuster' film I've seen in years! I believe there is 200m+ potential here....and maybe even more. This should have a serious curiosity factor among general audience

Would you elaborate?

Congratulations to Runner Runner for it's future run on TNT every third weekend.

 

But it's a Fox movie. Shouldn't it end up on FX? Because it has all the movies...

Is Gravity really considered a blockbuster?

[John Marston]

Is Gravity really considered a blockbuster?

Yes. 100m budget plus massive marketing. Not a small film by any definition

[John Marston]

Poor Rush

[The Futurist]

Is Gravity really considered a blockbuster?

 

Yes for budget and marketing and no for the kind of movie it is.

[Fancyarcher]

Rush’s Friday drop continues to prove my point about cinemascores being misleading.

A good point

It certainly has become one.

If it breaks $200M domestic, it will be.
