Apparently Fox's last weekend over $15m was The Wolverine. Damn.

In their defense, Walter Mitty would have probably made over 15M if it opened on a Friday.

 

Still, they only released crap since Wolverine. FOX is a shit studio.

Just watched Kiss Kiss Bang BangIt was obvious that it's directed by the same guy who did IM3. I thought it was pretty good, and RDJ's character is basically Iron Man lol.

 

It's the role that got him Iron Man.

 

Fucking great motherfucking movie.

Fox have Son of God (which will probably do really well compared to its budget), Mr. Peabody and Sherman, Rio 2, X-Men and HTTYD2 coming up. Not a bad slate.

Son of God is going to bomb. It is the tv show The Bible, but made into a 2 hour movie. Nobody is paying to see that.

Shit, Bill Murray was at the school basketball game! I knew I shouldve went. Crazy hes got a movie out in a few weeks.

Still better than 2010. When their highest grossing film came from Fox Searchlight, and only one other even topped 100 million.

That show had 14 million viewers. A lot of potential viewers for the movie. Especially since a lot of church congregations will but tickets in bulk. Noah will also benefit similarly, but Noah of course has a much larger break-even than Son of God, which has no budget effectively.

Her didn't make me cry but it was really great. Type of movie I can see myself loving more over time

[Blankments]

I will say this: the people in front of me in line were going to August: Osage County but ended up arriving at the wrong time. They ended up seeing Her instead, thinking "it's supposed to be a cute romance that was nominated for Oscars." They made a good decision IMO

I got my eyes on that sexy jump of Gravity. 260m will be passed eventually.

Wow, that sucks.

[Lordmandeep]

Son of God is just gravy for the producers.

 

They already made a killing from the Bible Tv series.

That's like choosing to get a massage after arriving at the wrong time to be punched in the face.

Of course, how much can it bomb when the production costs are little more than an editor and some post production. Not like they made a new movie here.

Plus don't underestimate the appeal it will have to a big part of middle America
