Reviews don't always matter but sometimes they do. Do you guys think Gravity would have opened as high as it did if it weren't for the reviews?

[Maxmoser3]

Maleficent as well.

and Let's Be Cops

What happens when NGD jumps 40% tomorrow?

Gravity had really good word of mouth and had a lot of talk by other people(not just critics) though Piers Morgan loved it and I knew people who said it was really good so....

Lol Tina Fey cannot bring an audience. She needs to go back to TV.

Despite all the praise she gets and the way the industry worships her, most people outside of that realm just don't like her. She's very off putting.

[Jake Gittes]

The opening weekend was big. Thus reviews were useless.

Would have been even bigger if the reviews had been better.

[baumer]

Would have been even bigger if the reviews had been better.

Nope.

[Maxmoser3]

Prisoners was certified fresh the movie had a decent debut and went on to a decent gross but it had a second weekend drop that was steeper than the other comparable WB fall titles from years past. So in conclusion guys reviews don't mean shit unless if it was expected to disappoint in the first place. I'm done

How much do these actors work for if the budget is that low?  Half a mill each?

 

Depends. Some actors are willing to work for lower paychecks for specific projects (unless the actor himself can't demand a decent paycheck, which is often the case).

with good legs Maze Runner can make 100m and maybe 150m overseas and 250m worldwide. On a 30m budget. This is nothing but a success. A new franchise is born.

75 million is a possibility 100 if it holds well in October Edited September 20, 2014 by Maxmoser3

well deserved..well deserved indeed

 

that should be a lesson for Hollywood..stop being greedy..tighten up your hands while delivering quality..keep your budgets low and no movie would ever flop 

[SuperBatman]

Good for the maze runner. I actually saw that on Friday and it was pretty good.

It would have to completely collapse after the OW to miss 75M.

[Ethan Hunt]

I going to predict that Maze Runner is gonna finish it's run somewhere between 90 and 95M

[Maxmoser3]

It would have to completely collapse after the OW to miss 75M.

just depends on next weekend with The Equalizer's screens at IMAX

I just hope Maze Runner doesn't pull an Ender's Game and has a huge drop next weekend.

It doesn't face a big Marvel sequel in its second weekend, so it won't.

I think less people have read the Maze Runnr book so it definitely crossed over more than Ender's Game.
