filmlover Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 This was just an off year, filled with odd scheduling decisions and few-to-no titles that really stood out as "OMG I just HAVE to see that!" There were plenty of solid success stories, but nothing more than that, which makes sense in retrospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Via Deadline: Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar has now hit $455M internationally after grossing another $11.4M this weekend. That gives it 621M WW, around 14M more to come domestically and 10-15 to come OS, 640M WW is a lock with an outside shot at 650M WW. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 How boring a weekend is this? The title still says "Friday numbers" and no one actually cares about the weekend numbers. Here's hoping Hobbit somehow manages to open huge, the box office needs a defibrillator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Is there going to be a 4 hour cut like Kingdom of Heaven that is going to be "miles better" than the theatrical cut? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Is there going to be a 4 hour cut like Kingdom of Heaven that is going to be "miles better" than the theatrical cut? The original cut was supposed to be 4 hour in this case as well so it is possible. I will never understand why directors end up with 4 hour cuts when they know that no studio is ever going to release a 4 hour tentpole movie.

I will never understand why directors end up with 4 hour cuts when they know that no studio is ever going to release a 4 hour tentpole movie. It really depends on the director. He basically makes a movie after the script, so if a scene in the script takes a page (which normally means 1 minute), but the director goes more into detail or needs more time to properly put it on a screen, the movie will be abnormally long compared to the script. Lord of the Rings (all of them, separately) is a good example: The script had like 120 pages (roughly 2 hours), yet the director's cut ended up being 4 hours.

DAJK Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 (edited) For anyone who has seen exodus, how was the 3D? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to go, but if I do, I'm wondering if its worth the 3D. Edited December 14, 2014 by DAJK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always film more than what they actually end up using. 4 hours does seem a bit excessive though lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandrew Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I have enough time trying to sit through a 2 1/2 hour movie, let alone 4. And then think about it...how the hell would you get a movie that long on cable? That atleast 6 hours worth of timeslots taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Nevada Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I'm a "95 minutes and you're out" guy but I'm sure 4 hours is good too if the material is strong enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart360 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I feel a bit sorry for EXODUS. I mean i'm biased as i love Bible films but all the 'PC' negativity surrounding the film seems to of gone against it big time. When you take into account that Moses is the 2nd most important person in the Bible and the fact that the US has millions of Christians, i thought this would be at least a good solid hit gross wise. It could still be worldwide to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytr87 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 The critics were pretty harsh with this movie. Yeah, it's not great, but it definitely doesn't deserve a 28% tomatometer. The Metacritic score is more accurate. Overall a mediocre flick with some moments of inspiration. The choice to make God a child was the best part of the movie actually, or at least the most original part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
