Frozen!!!

[Godzilla]

Gotta say, Marked Ones did a little better than I thought it would. Another example of the Latino audience bucking weak online buzz.

40M is the target right?

The Paranormal franchise continues to sink.

The Paranormal franchise continues to sink.

 

8.5M is solid for a spin off and better than most were expecting.

That's your own loss; there's three movies worth paying for

It's definitely a little better than I expected, and the movie will be profitable. But... why the industry is blaming the weather when most other movies are doing just fine is suspect, IMHO.

Hopefully The Secret Life of Walter Mitty can hit 10M this weekend.

Is it true that Spielberg got the PA train rolling?

[Shawn Robbins]

Is it true that Spielberg got the PA train rolling?

 

Pretty much, yep. The story goes that he had a screener, watched it home, weird stuff started happening (his bedroom door locked? or something to that effect...), and then he got the ball rolling on a distribution deal.

So saying a movie is Latino is racist? Wow.

 

Calling it "Latino PA"...

 

[Hiccup]

40M is the target right?

 

PA4 was kind of the target. With a 17.5M (that is the weekend number being projected) I doubt it can hit 40M. 

 

While 17.5M will be weak for a PA film, it is a good number for a horror film.

Good number!

Well... that is how they sold it.

Calling it "Latino PA"...

 

I still don't see where the racism comes in.
