Avengers had a big decline, more than $100 million the second weekend.

 

LOL...yes, but it also had a 2nd weekend of 100 million dollars, which has never been done before and probably won't be for another 15-20 years.

What s so hard to understand that declining from a 200m ow, 100m ow, 50m ow & 15m ow are not the same thing ?

I really wonder.

Just saw Captain Phillips and what a riveting movie! I'm really glad the moviegoing public supported this as well.

Snyder and Shyamalan are two of the luckiest directors. If it weren't for MoS, Snyder would be done for, and he should have been for except he was signed on for MoS before Sucker Punch bombed.And, Shyamalan, I honestly don't know how he has managed to pull it off over and over again. He even got Will Smith to star in one of his bombs.But, with that said, until Cuaron proves otherwise, WB is likely to take bigger risks on him, especially now that Nolan has left.

Smith personally hired Shyamalan to do After Earth. Probably because he wanted an easily controlled director

What's so hard to understand about sarcasm?I contributed to Avengers both of those weekends. Just a joke above.

Basically if Gravity opened to 207M, it would have made 160M+ 2nd weekend.

I hate 3-D and actively avoid it. I was content pre-relase to save Gravity for DVD. 

With my FB page and phone blowing up of people asking me about it, cause in my circle I'm "that movie guy", and telling them I hadn't seen it due to 2 jobs and would wait they pushed me to make time.

 

Impressed with Bullock big time in this film.

 

Having seen it now I can't help but also wonder what the original actors tied to it might've been like: Rachel Weisz and RDJ

[XenoZodiac]

If you look at M.Night's resume as a director, it's actually much better than Snyder's. He had ups and downs but for one or two flops he can give you one hit. Snyder is another story. He's been cashing in the goodwill from 300 even since, and the result is three flops (in three different genres lol) in a row.

 

I suppose both will be a hired gun for most of their rest career. They both can write but they won't have their own projects breaking out big like Nolan and Cuaron.

Umm...when did M. Night ever had ups?

[Noctis]

He'll have more freedom, provided it's a smaller budget project. Dude directed the best-received Harry Potter movie and still couldn't get financing for a movie budgeted at just a few million.

DH2 is the best-received Potter by critics and audiences. PoA is second, though.

PoA is my favorite. I still like it better than DH2.

You have got to be joking.

I think Angelina was the first asked to do it. Rachel was only another name in the running.

This cover still amuses me every time I see it.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

Well his first three films are among my favorite movies. Signs is my favorite movie.

[lilmac]

You have got to be joking.

 

 

I hope he was but to answer his question...Sixth Sense, Signs, Unbreakable, Village, Lady in the Water.

 

 

I know I'm in the minority for the last two.  Don't care.

[XenoZodiac]

You have got to be joking.

Weren't every film he made was worse than the previous ones, and the only up was like after he directed TLA (after which, getting lower was as difficult as creating a masterpiece)?

[lilmac]

 

 

It's amazing how they always skip over his finest movie, Unbreakable.

English please.  

[tonytr87]

His first three films were home-runs in my opinion. The cover was understandable.
