So incredibly bummed that August Osage did better than Her. 

 

It deserved to. 

[La Binoche]

Her is much better than August: Osage. But I'm happy that Meryl Streep can still attract moviegoers. 

[Deep Wang]

Holy shit! 

 

Hercules is so bad!  

 

I probably need to not drink when I do these live tweets, I already don't remember anything about the movie except all the speed-ramping.  It was never not funny.

I contributed to the DOM box office this weekend! Saw Saving Mr. Banks, a lovely film.

It should reach 8 m something then

[a2k]

Yeah, AUJ had a 2.349m fri and a 9.168m weekend, multiplier of 3.9

That would give DoS 7.8m. So 7.5-8.5m sounds reasonable(46-52% drop).

Can't see the number being 2m exactly so let's see

August: Osage County was a piece of shit choked full of campy performances posing as "deep." Proof Streep is not immune to giving a bad performance. But I'm not surprised it made more than Her. That concept was too out there and the public is still creeped out by Phoenix since the infamous Letterman appearance.

Wow, great number for Lone Survivor.

[tonicjr]

BOOYA LS OWNING this weekend!!!

[Krissykins]

I'm pissed at Nikki for getting August Osage County wrong yesterday. Still a solid start. Went to see the film last night, an acting master class. Terrific performances. Between Bullock, Blanchett, Roberts and Streep so far the females have really knocked it out of the park this year. All worthy winners.And I've still to see 12 Years A Slave. Amy Adams loses 100 points for that accent in American Hustle, cringe.

[forg]

Great for LS! I almost typed first 100M for 2014 then I remember it had a limited release in December

[CoolioD1]

Amy Adams loses 100 points for that accent in American Hustle, cringe.

It wasn't supposed to be great. The character was just putting it on. You know that, right?

[Dementeleus]

Woah. Pamela McClintock ‏@PamelaDayM 26m 'Lone Survivor' earns a coveted A+ CinemaScore. First hit of 2014?

Since I always rail about how pointless Cinemascore is when a movie I like gets a low score, it would be hypocritical for me to claim this means anything at all.So I'll just say again: Cinemascore sucks and should be ignored for any large-scale extrapolation.

The accent is supposed to be bad lol. She's playing a con who's faking an accent to trick people.

But if she's a decent con shouldn't the accent be good?

[La Binoche]

She ends up in jail so she's not that good. 

[CoolioD1]

I thought it was the gag that the accent isn't very good but everyone buys it anyway, because as C-Bale said "ppl believe what they wanna believe"

[Jack Nevada]

August isnt bad, it's just not that cinematic. I'm sure it's a riot on stage.
