Just got a phone call a few of my friends want to go and see this movie again this time in 2D we already all saw it in I-Max 3D and what a beauty that was. Asked me if I wanted to go again and I said sure 2D is probably going to be more crowded this time around.

Bizarre but fascinating how the leads in Gunn's last two feature films were beloved supporting actors in The Office and Parks/Rec. Donald Glover his next leading man?

Il wait for the blu ray around Christmas.Hopefully this holds well against TNMT next week and EXP 3.

For the record, I think that $90 mil total is way too low. $100m should happen, thinking of Inception OW/midnights as a weird comparison.

It has a chance to get a 100 Million OW like I said if it gets an over 40 Million Friday it has a pretty good chance.

Saw GOTG earlier today...very good movie...I would rate Cap 2 ahead of this one with it being neck and neck with XMen...The theater (biggest screen at the multiplex - 300 seater or so) was half full and the crowd seemed to enjoy the flick as well...And did see the newest interstellar trailer which was cool...

[Godzilla]

I will say the cast in GOTG is really impressive.Close....oscar winnerDel Toro....oscar winnerCooper ....oscar nomineeHonsou.....oscar nomineePretty cool

John C. Reilly - Oscar nominee

The Expendables 3 is looking to be an almost total non-event, so I don't think it has anything to worry about on that front.

RTH gave an estimate last Friday at around mid afternoon, Pacific time. Hoping he gives one as well in hour or 2

Close has never won an Oscar, sadly. If it were up to me, she would have one for Fatal Attraction and one for Dangerous Liaisons.

[La Binoche]

Glenn Close deserved the Oscar for Dangerous Liaisons.

I think HR/Variety are trying to be conservative and safe. It clearly has a great shot at $100M+.

 

Deadline too.

Glenn Close deserved the Oscar for Dangerous Liaisons. 

 

Oh man. She was absolutely chilling in that movie.

[Cochofles]

Glenn Close deserved the Oscar for Dangerous Liaisons. 

 God, she deserved the Oscar just for that last scene in Dangerous Liaisons.
