ecstasy Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 It is not ? I dont think so ... Well I saw the movie. It's funny but it's no comedy. It's more of a dramady. It's really a tear jerker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Gary Scott Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yeah CS was not a joke for past 30 years until weeks ago people here knew it is just got from 5 theaters .... lolI trust flixster user ratings much more. Just have to wait a week or so for it to be accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 LOL Best Man Holiday is not a comedy I don't care what IMDB says. It's a drama that's funny but super serious. It's nothing like those other movies in your list. A drama that is funny = comedy. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) I think Best Man Holiday will increase as well. Sell outs are still strong for Saturday and are starting earlier. Maybe, but African American themed movies don't tend to increase on Saturday, unless their inspirational dramas (and even then though tend to target a wider audience).

Cmasterclay Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 TBMH is a comedy in the same vein Funny People is a comedy, though Best Man is both much funnier and much more emotionally effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen Funny People. I was trying to think of a movie it was like. But I just can't call this a comedy like Think Like a Man or a Madea movie. I cried too much watching this one.

Well there isn't an African American movie like this you can compare it with. I'm just going by the sell outs I see anyway. Not basing it on any comparable statistics. It could decrease but if it does, I don't think it will be by much. Edited November 17, 2013 by ECSTASY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I think 100m is possible if WOM is any indicated by CS ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I think TBMH either stays flat or increases slightly....it sold out a ton last night but tonight it started selling out earlier, sold out just as much in the evening, and added a ton of shows to the back end, indicating heavy late night demand. I say it does right around 11, and so close to 30 for the weekend its unfair. WOM is off the chain for this, and that has nothing to do with CS for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I think people are seeing "black ensemble comedy" and giving it the same IM and legs as something like Think Like A Man, when in reality it's a holiday movie and it hasn't even hit Thanksgiving yet. It should play very well throughout the season, with a lack of true holiday films and the great WOM. I think 100 is a strong possibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually "Black Nativity" is targeting a similar "Black ensemble movie" as well the "Holiday movie" niche. Then "Madea's Christmas" also comes out with the same audience and holiday movie thing going on. But yes, looks like TBMH will be the leggier one among the three.

A Marvel Fanboy Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 If it has similar legs to Think Like A Man, it should get close enough to 100m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, even black folks think Black Nativity looks corny as fuck. Nas is the man but that ain't gonna be too much a hit. Madea will do very well but TBMH would be very close to 100 by Dec. 13 anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I don't think I've ever seen estimates this early on a Saturday. Nikki and Mason would post Saturday estimates and than last year Rth started with TA but so far this year we're lucky if get something by early Sunday morning.
