I keep saying it - if it was just a server outage, and the IMDB redirect is some kind of existing automatic fail-safe when the server completely dies, why didn't anyone say "The BOM server is completely down, the URL will redirect to IMDB until we've fixed the site." Why did everyone, including Ray Subers, go quiet and leave us in the dark for over 30 hours?

Public relations. You suck at it.

Let's just hope they're better at damage control...

Fury and that Nicholas Sparks movie both look like crap. Hopefully they don't eat too much into Gone Girl's grosses next week.

I think Fury looks good.

[FTF]

I think Fury looks good.

I agree, I think Fury looks good and if it has strong reviews it could have a decent ow and run.

BOM was Gone Girl, but now it is undead like Dracula Untold. It was just doing a theme for the week.

Keanu Reeves 450M for Matrix in total!! (Bet yu guys didnt know how paid in the shade the one was right lol) 

He was so loaded he didnt like how the crew was paid and give them 30-40M to make sure they were taken care of.

 

Now thats my kind of hero.

 

Do you have any source for that? Since I find that number to be unrealistic.

 

According to Imdb Keanu got $10M + 10% of the gross for the first Matrix, and $15M + 15% of the gross for each of the sequels.

 

I don't know if that means he got percentage of the gross just from domestic, or from foreign too.

 

However I counted his upfront salaries and percentage of the worldwide gross, and got $260M, from all three movies.

 

Out of that he would of course have to pay his management, agent, and taxes. So he might end up with "just" over $100M.

 

Again, that's just simplistic math, in reality it's very much possible that his gross profit deal had certain stipulations in it that prevented him from getting that much.

 

I have also read conflicting reports on him giving money to the crew.

 

Some reports say that he gave some stunt guys motorcycles, another one says that he gave the visual effects team millions of dollars, however that hasn't been confirmed anywhere so those seem to be just rumours.

 

I have read on VFX forums where some of the artists who worked on the Matrix films wrote that they haven't gotten any money or gifts from Keanu, and haven't heard of anyone else getting anything either.

 

I like Keanu and think he's a good guy, but I think this story of him being charitable with the crew has been widely exaggerated and misconstrued on the internet.

 

I find it very hard to believe that he would have given the crew tens of millions of dollars, without there being any evidence or even first hand comments from the crew members. Just rumours.

Now that BOM is back, a question: What the crap happened on Thursday? Some decent increases - not as big as two weeks ago, but was it possibly due to Sukkot starting the night before, like how the spike two weeks ago was due to Rosh Hashannah?

[Jessie]

Keane Reeves gave away 70M away to the crew. It was the bonus he got for one of the sequels if I remember correctly. They are not rumours.

[Donald]

@day tripper. He got bonuses as well. Thats diff from his original deal. He also got a cut from home video

Ain't It Cool claims the ending ruins the movie.

It can't be that bad, right?

He really did take the red pill.

Holy heck.

Fury will most certainly eat into GG's market, lukewarm reviews or not. Pitt and Affleck's name draw many a similar crowd.

I think Keanu is one of the more genuinely nice guys in Hollywood. You think?

[zackzack]

Dracula's Saturday's drop is very good for the genre.

I was going to say those Sunday drops seem slightly generous, but I guess with Columbus Day, the drops will be more like 30-40% instead of 35-45%.

 

Still, Gone Girl seems a tiny bit high.

 

Gone Girl - 26.9

Dracula Untold - 23.3

Alexander and the bad day - 19.5

Annabelle - 15.1

The Judge - 13.5

[picores]

Very good drop for Annabelle.
