Amazing that Lone Survivor will likely outgross Battleship, the directors previous film

[Ezen Baklattan]

There's a picture floating about of Leo crying made from a collage of people winning Oscars. It's quite hilarious.

[MrPink]

TDKR did this.

 

I think they mean domestically.

 

This is not a fight we can win #ED. The numbers, they don't lie.

I read an interesting story that said that Peter Berg had been trying to get Lone Survivor made for a long time and the only way the studio would agree to do it is if Berg directed Battleship.  

 

So maybe we shouldn't blame him for Battleship, blame the studio for it.

Yes, Berg has talked about this repeatedly in interviews. The "One for you, one for me" concept.

Battleship certainly doesn't strike me as a passion project, so I can believe that.

[baumer]

I had no idea.  I've never even seen an interview with Berg, not since Battleship.

[BadAtGender]

Battleship was hilarious. I mean, it's terrible, but there have been few movies that have so thoroughly entertained me like that.

Increase is the key word you missed.

 

TDK: 533M

TDKR: 448M

 

Both films grossed over 400 million, but TDKR did not increase over its predecessor.

Well Bergs poor directing certainly didn't help the film.

CF will be the first non-3D movie to win a yearly domestic box office crown since TDK. Five years. Wow.
