DAR Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Is there an objective biography of Walt Disney out there? I'd love to read one.I'd give Walt by Neal Gabler a try. Walt's daughter didn't care for it, but Disney did sell it at the theme parks and Gabler did have access to the archives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahnamahna Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Is it insane that 4 movies have a legitmate shot at $25 million this weekend? (Frozen, Hobbit 2, Wolf and Anchorman 2) with 2 others potentially being able to top $20 million (Mitty and Hustle) not to mention 3 OTHERS possibly being able to top $15 million?!? (Banks, Ronin and Grudge) with Catching Fire, Dinosaurs, Mandela, Madea and Believe all having a shot at over $5 million?!?!!! The top two could also get over $30 million EACH (Frozen and Hobbit 2) This Christmas will be huge in a big way! and seeing 4-6 different Christmas releases have a shot at $100 million does my heart good 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got three over 30M (Hobbit, Wolf, and Anchorman 2,) two over 25M (Mitty and Frozen,) and two over 20M (Hustle and Ronin.) IDK if it's possibly, but hey, I'm optimistic! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 To add to this, movies that were really good IMO but missed a spot: Man of Steel Thor: The Dark World Oz, The Great and Powerful Prisoners Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Instructions Not Included Fast and Furious 6 derp, I missed Walter Mitty on this list. Must've copied-and-pasted an older list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Way Way Back 7. Star Trek: Into Darkness 8. Pacific Rim 9. Catching Fire 10. The Hobbit: DOS 11. Mud 12. Anchorman 2 13. Gravity 14. Thor: Dark World 15. The Wolverine 16. Pain & Gain 17.

The Great Gatsby I updated my list to a top 20 as I thought it would be better than leaving it at just a top 15 like I had it at. This list will really change after I see all the movie from 2013 that I want to see. Also, I forgot from my other post, I really want to see Inside Llewyn Davis before making my final list.

a2k Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I can't see how Hobbit falls short of 30m. Looking at 2002, even if Hobbit performs worse than all films, It can do: Thu 10.2 (+10%) Fri 11.2 (+10%) Sat 11.7 (+5%) Sun 9.1 (-22%) Weekend 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Just saw a little boy and his mom leave the Anchorman theater to use the bathroom. LOL. Atleast you didn't see them leaving The Wolf of Wall Street. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Fuck the critics. Since Hustle got noticably better reviews than Wolf, I'm agreeing with this, but just for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
