Gopher Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Gravity is a beast unlike anything we've seen this whole year. A month ago I wasn't sure if it would open to 30m. Now it's pulling that figure on its third weekend. 250m is pretty much locked and I think 275m is the goal. Captain Phillips won't have quite as strong legs as Argo but a 17m second weekend and -33% drop is nothing to scoff at. It should make its way over 100m. Poor showing for Carrie given Sony's aggressive marketing push. A PG-13 rating could've helped get in a younger demo, but really the movie didn't look like must-see horror, even in October. Gravity seems to have a hold on audiences looking for effective scares this month. I didn't realize Cloudy 2 actually cost less than the original to produce (78m vs. 100m). It'll probably end with the same total domestically and more overseas so Sony has to be pleased about that, even if it wasn't another Hotel Transylvania. Stallone has had a bad year at the box office but I'm still thinking Grudge Match could be the 'comeback' vehicle he needs, so long as it doesn't get lost in the Christmas shuffle. LMAO at Fifth Estate. Worst wide opening of the year. Touchstone/DW totally buried it. Jury's still out on where 12 Years a Slave goes from here but I think it's undoubtedly a good start. Precious opened much bigger but burnt out very quickly. I think 12YS is in for a very long run. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 If we are talking about people who look younger than they are, Mary-Louise Parker will be 50 next year. yeah, this one. She looks even prettier than a few years ago ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Gravity was fantastic especially on a technical level. It is something to experience. It's hard to explain but half feels like a movie and half like something you would experience at an advanced science center. The 3 D makes it almost interactive.

Poseidon Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) So with a good sunday hold, Gravity could even go up for a 26% drop overt the weekend.. Great saturday jump for it. It's amazing, box office at its best, love it. Edited October 20, 2013 by Poseidon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanilla Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Prisoners while having a decent run I just cant help but be disapointed on how it has played out. It deserves so much more and its going to end up at 60 in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fantastic movie that didn't catch on with the mainstream audience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fantastic movie that didn't catch on with the mainstream audience.And a strongly emotional one. All the movies I have watched recently all hit it hard: Gravity, Rush, Prisoners, Captain Phillips and Instructions Not Included. With 12 Years A Slave coming up, I'm afraid I'll dry out my tears supply 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
