I imagine as long as it does $40-50m dom and $100m WW it won't be seen as bad all things considered. 

 

I think even those numbers could be a stretch. But obviously I've been wrong before.

Looks too much of a religion bashing film. Not really appealing to me. Especially if its 3 hours long as people say here.

Lolwut? How could you interpret this as religion bashing?

I'm definitely predicting that with the assumption that it gets a lot of critical love and Oscar noms across the board. And it feels like the kind of film European audiences will embrace more readily than the Americans do.

I think they are supposed to be Portuguese. @CJohn's ancestors.

 

Ah, so we'll see the invention of the playground.

Sorry to be that guy but Scorcese got paid zilch for this movie while being paid 10m dollars for Casino commercials in Singapor.

 

Just saying.

 

And he s real short in  person.

All the critical comments in here show exactly why Scorsese had so much trouble even getting this movie funded.  It's not a mainstream-appeal story, but it's one he's apparently been passionate about for many years, so I expect parts of it, even if not the whole, to be an immensely powerful experience, in the same manner as Last Temptation (which is probably one of my favorite films).

 

Would this have more potential with Leo?  Most definitely, but I hope people give it a chance.  Where is the running time rumor coming from?

He's considered tall in Sicily where his family is from. Average height over there is Danny DeVito's (another Sicilian).

Just a stupid way to point out that I saw him up close near the set of Hugo some years ago, his bodyguards looked freaking huge next to him.

i remember during wolf of wall street press he was saying that he had to hold onto his AD's shoulder walking through crowds of extras just so he didn't get lost among the tallies.

Perhaps he hired giants.

Looks beautiful to me. Of course it's Scorsese so i'm in no matter what.

The depressing story and all that didn't hurt The Revenant or Unbroken or even The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (not a great example i know) much.

I don't see it doing blockbuster numbers of course but given the decent budget it could do some fine numbers (50-60m dom).

[Jake Gittes]

I think it'll be somewhere close to There Will Be Blood, another long and challenging (for the GA) period piece with a lot of critical acclaim that came out in late December and expanded through January on its way to many Oscar nominations but few wins.

Love this shot. Religion encapsulated in one visual analogy.

 

I don't know how people can be meh about this. The cinematography looks gorgeous and the imagery is powerful. Scorsese channeling his inner Kurosawa. That trailer is already more interesting than the full length of Wolf Of Wall Street.
