MJL Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 “Godzilla” has the goods, showing plenty of firepower on its first day to wind up with an opening weekend in the $90 million range in the U.S.Early estimates for the iconic monster showed the Warner Bros.-Legendary Pictures’ title tracking to gross about $35 million on Friday. That figure included an impressive $9.3 million from latenight Thursday screenings.“Godzilla” will likely wind up dropping at least 10% on Saturday to the $31 million range, then pull in around $22 million Sunday.So the monster has a decent shot at cracking the $90 million barrier for its opening weekend — surmounted twice so far this year by Disney-Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” with $95 million and Sony’s “The Amazing Spider-Man 2″ with $91.6 million. http://variety.com/2014/film/news/godzilla-destroying-u-s-box-office-for-90-million-opening-1201184080/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 When I saw Sleeping with the Enemy, the old Julia Roberts film, there was a group of black women, yelling at the screen things. "Mmm girl he's no good, I'd have left his ass." Or "shoot him in the head." When I saw 12 Years a Slave, there was a black woman behind me who yelled at the screen "Typical white woman; only caring about herself" "Can't ever trust any white man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Apparently not. btw, to date LOCKE is still my favorite of the year. Nolanites, why aren't you supporting it?! I would've seen it already if I had the option. Unfortunately, suburbia Indiana doesn't get many independent films 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
