Hideous.  I don't understand why this went wide.  Was Paramount betting on Sandler fans showing up outside the larger cities to a non critically praised Indie drama?

It was always going to go wide. You'd think there'd be an audience for a film exploring contemporary angst with a huge ensemble cast (after all, American Beauty adjusts to $200m.) I wonder if Paramount knew they had a turkey on their hands and literally just threw it into October to make it seem like there was promise here. They really downplayed the film's release.

Maybe it's OH MY GOD THE INTERNET-isms would've played better in 2005 or something.

Men, Women & Children bombed so embarrassingly hard. I was just reading a long and detailed article on some movie website the other day talking about the almost depressingly fast fall of Jason Reitman's once very promising career.

The difference was that American Beauty was really good.

[Frozen]

Only $25 million for Fury? I have to think they expected more.

What will Dracula Untold finish DOM with? $60 million?

[CoolioD1]

I have a feeling American Beauty would get a bit more shit if it came out today, but that might be due to all the awful clones it's inspired. Really that whole "Suburbanites are darker than they seem" shit is one of the worst sub-genres.

At 608 theaters, 'Men, Women & Children' earned $99,000 yesterday. That's less than what 'Birdman' earned at four: http://t.co/d78xQJMpB5

I think it will fall just short, but it will come close to 60 (55-59M)

'Gone Girl' will pass $100 million at the domestic box office today: http://t.co/KnuyFjxsvA pic.twitter.com/fIggbGQycO

Yeah, there's a reason people are calling it the "Reefer Madness" of the digital age.

Maybe he will have to accept a marvel or dc movie to feel again the thrill of success. Juno was a long time ago.
