work in progress as there are a few missing from that chart at the moment

Cosmopolis is absolutely horrible. Luckily my girlfriend and I had free tickets, otherwise we would've left early and asked for a refund.Two people left early, and we were about to leave, but thought we'd stay incase it got somewhat interesting.On the way home we were listening to a review and it mentioned Rob Pattinson doesnt know what it's about - and neither do I.

[Ball Lightning]

We had quite a few walk outs tonight for cosmopolis too.Step up 4 is beating AL:VH, both friday and saturday, with them neck and neck on thursday. TDKR/MM still way ahead of them.

It's seriously a boring movie. Nothing more to it.

Sapphires could do well

[DeeCee]

Rth, what's the status of a US release for The Sapphires?

[Ball Lightning]

Sapphires I think has a good chance of breaking out, been following a similar path to release as Red Dog last year. It just really needs a $1.5+ opening weekend at least.

I saw E.T. at the State Theatre today, and I must say it was a lovely experience. Rth, do the tickets that were sold for the Universal 100 Year Anniversary count for the final yearly admissions and will whatever those films have grossed be added to their totals?

Highly unlikely I'd say - our movies barely do well enough here.

On the news a while back it said Harvey Weinstein managed to get it a worldwide release, although I don't expect great things for it. Over here though, I think it will break out, maybe a good $10-15m.

Yes. Harvey Weinstein has US distribution. Nothing could come of a US release or something interesting could happen. From the trailer it looks like they're actually in Vietnam performing for US troops. It also has that Irish dude from Bridesmaids.http://www.deadline.com/2012/05/weinstein-clarifies-sapphires-remarks-best-actor-race-heats-up-on-a-stormy-sunday-in-cannes/

No. I really want to know how much Step Up 3 made on OW in Australia ?

[Robertron]

1.5m....according to Intl thread report.

[CJohn]

1.5m....according to Intl thread report.

No. WTF? LOL! Step Up 3 did 2.9M on OW. That is a huge decrease for Step Up 4. It is a bad sign. OS is the main reason this was made in the 1st place.
