Compliment. Throwing shade is not an easy sport.

Throwing shade...I know that one!

Take that Telemachos!

I rewatched Still Alice, properly this time, via screener instead of on my laptop. Better the 2nd time. Julegend Moore is perfect. 

[LexJoker]

Unbroken looks as baity as any other Oscar-bait.

[Warhorse]

Will someone please explain how Annie "looks like crap" ? How does it look like crap by looking at it? You can look at Seventh Son and tell its crap. You could look st Oogieloves and tell its crap. You could look at all low-budget R rated sex comedies and tell theyre all crap. How does Annie? It looks typical. You guys think if its not for you, its not for anyone, thats wrong and so subjective.

I think it looks cute. It's probably getting bagged because for some reason, elitist film snobs believe kids should be seen and not heard in movies. They tend to bag on a lot of live action kids flicks, especially when it's about a little girl.

Little girls are known carriers of the cooties virus.

That gif parade from Claire and Chaz made me miss Water. Would've loved to see a fight between Xtina and Ke$ha.

Bless at the BOFA increase, MJ1 hold, and Flopdus drop.

[Heretic]

$16m. Better. 

[Filmovie]

Annie and NATM3 could both wind up over 100M Dom; Exodus couldn't hit 70M DOM, I big disappointment.

 

BOFA is a bit disappointing also.

 

Mp1 still on track for +330 M DOM 

[Donald]

Look like its not as bad as it was goin to be!

[Claire of Themyscira]

That's why you should never assume and just wait.

 

Idiotas.

[MonstersandRoy]

Why do Variety seem to think The Hobbit's gross is good and that it could be the best of "them all?" Il-informed?

 

They say a lot more people are talking about the final Hobbit film claiming it has 50% more search activity and twice the Twitter volume of “Smaug.” Perhap perform better over the xmas period as a whole than DoS did last year.

 

http://variety.com/2014/digital/news/digital-tracking-the-hobbits-five-armies-to-plunder-box-office-1201384045/

 

Night at the Museum number not great, looks like it will struggle to get to $20 over the weekend. Also wonder how much Annie was hurt by the film being leaked a month in advance...

 

62% rise for Hobbit better than some were expecting, heard someone say 40% rise.

[Elessar]

Phew, pretty good Friday increase for BOFA. Decent news for a change.

[Hatebox]

Dang, The Interview bombed hard.

[miketheavenger]

I'll still wait for Rth's numbers before I get too excited about Hobbit's Friday, but $16m would be pretty decent if true.
