Cmasterclay Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Very interested to see Lone Survivor preview numbers. Started at 8 last night, and the 8 showing sold out, so I had to see it at 10 (and that nearly sold out.) Very diverse crowd too, Still have a feeling this does 30+ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tilko Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) I really hope Lone Survivor becomes a HIT in USA, Peter Berg really deserve it. Battleship is so much better than GI Joe 1-2, Clash of Titans, Transformers 2, Taken 2, Cawboys and Aliens, Battle LA...and it grossed so little !

grim22 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 (edited) The Simpsons pay tribute to Studio Ghibli Wrecking Ball This reminds me of my coworker, who admittedly does not follow pop culture. Apparently he kept hearing this song while driving (makes sense, it got a lot of airplay) and for around 2 months he actually thought that the song was titled "Rainbow".

Cmasterclay Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Congrats to CF. My favorite blockbuster of 2013 except maybe Pacific Rim. Really wonderful movie. Also, Lone Survivor is really great. Won't be a hit on the internet, but I think it will smash among general audiences. Nice preview number 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
