AMERICAN HUSTLE: Swings wildly between brilliance and incompetence. Top performances from Bale & Adams -- I don't get the J-Law thing here.

[Lordmandeep]

Are you kidding me? So many people last weekend kept saying it would struggle to hit $400m. lol.

 

 

Lol it always happen.

 

Im3 was not suppose to hit 400 million either. 

[Jack Nevada]

I haven't really seen Emmy Rossum in anything but she is purdy. Looking at her filmography makes me cringe though.

[Noctis]

DoS has a 66 on Metacritic...DH1 has a 65...

Ray Subers, yet again pissing on all the members here.

I didn't think that movie was that bad. I found it oddly likable. 

 

I'd probably like it more if this lead guy wasn't so aggravating. The supporting cast is super fun

[Shawn Robbins]

It was also "supposed" to hit $420-430m after dat OW.

She's good in Shameless. And also naked in it a lot (not that I care about such things )

 

Goku's in it too.

 

I haven't watched it since the first season. One of these days I'll catch up on it...

haha does anyone know Grady Smith from EW as well? Ray and him are BO rivals on twitter.

Really? I thought the guy was good. I liked how he was more like a normal guy rather than brooding and mysterious. 

The lead chick on the other hand was kinda wooden.

I know the V speech off by heart 

 

Which one?

 

The one where he uses the letter V over and over or the one after he hijacks the news network?

 

Both are impressive but it would take a genius to remember the "v" letter one.

That's an 80% PTA drop for Inside Llewyn Davis. High-profile platform releases are becoming their own kind of summer blockbusters, nearly destroying each other's legs when released closely. This is the first time ever with live-action $100k PTA earners getting released two weekends in a row

[grey ghost]

Just watch Madea get a better multiplier than Hobbit 2.

 

That was uncalled for.

 

Probationary ban?

Frankly it was always assumed a over performance on opening weekend means the film will get a bigger total. 

 

However IM3 and MOS showed us, it just means the film were marketed well and everyone just showed up opening weekend.

Grady's a cool dude.

Saving Mr. Banks didn't do so hot yesterday. I'm guessing that it was a mix of the poor performance at the Golden Globes (Only Thompson got nominated) and competition from American Hustle eating up the art crowds in NY/LA.

And that they sucked.

The speech made mostly out of words starting with V

 

Voila! In view humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the “vox populi” now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin, van guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it’s my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.

 

Totally badass

Considering it's target audience sounds to be much more mainstream than the arthouse, I actually think it's doing pretty well. Definitely a harder one to call though. I'm still not completely sold on the idea of more than $80-90m.
