Time for Blank's funny story of the day that has to do with box office vaguely!!

 

So my dad lives by RottenTomatoes, like I used to. Naturally, he saw earlier this week that The Interview was getting mixed reviews. Now, my little brother wants to see The Interview because it's playing at a local theater, but when my dad heard this, he was all "I really don't think you should waste your money on a mediocre at best movie." This is my dad who wanted to see Unbroken today, which also has very mixed reviews on RT. I call him out on it, and he says that "I thought more reviews for Unbroken came out that made it fresh." THE INTERVIEW AND UNBROKEN HAVE THE SAME ROTTENTOMATO SCORE. Yet, my dad, who skipped Mockingjay (while loving the first two) simply because of reviews, insists that seeing Interview is a waste of time and money while Unbroken remains his most anticipated movie this break.

 

Sometimes I just don't understand people.

Bias and self-contradiction are like the cornerstones of humanity.

@itsRoyMessiah: Unbroken was hella sold out and Horrible Bosses wasn't that funny too me

Only young people get HB2. Old folks like you go to see Unbroken. That screening probably smells like death and regret.

Box Office: ‘The Interview’ Earns Nearly $1 Million on Christmas; ‘Unbroken,’ ‘Into the Woods’ Surging to $40M

http://variety.com/2014/film/news/box-office-the-interview-earns-nearly-1-million-on-christmas-unbroken-into-the-woods-surging-to-40m-1201387451/

 

Sony’s “The Interview” has delivered nearly $1 million on its opening day on Christmas — an impressive launch for a title playing in only about 300 independent theaters in the U.S.

 

The controversial comedy launched amid a barrage of news coverage with several theaters opting for midnight screenings. The Alamo Drafthouse chain had reported on Christmas Eve that it had sold out all of its opening days screenings at 17 locations.

The opening day numbers for “The Interview” may drop off in coming days, given that Sony launched a VOD release on

Wednesday morning via YouTube, Google Play, Microsoft’s Xbox Video and its own http://www.seetheinterview.com site. Major chains such as AMC, Regal and Carmike are refusing to book “The Interview” due to the VOD release.

 

The awareness of “The Interview” may have benefitted rival titles, which saw Christmas grosses come in well above estimates with three titles — Universal’s “Unbroken,” Disney’s “Into the Woods” and New Line-MGM’s “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” heading for at least $40 million each for the four-day Christmas weekend.

 

Angelina Jolie’s war drama “Unbroken” performed far above forecasts with Christmas Day grosses of about $15 million at 3,131 locations. The tale of war hero Louis Zamperini could wind up hitting above $45 million for the holiday weekend.

“Into the Woods” delivered Christmas box office in the $12 million to $13 million range at 2,424 with the top numbers coming from large cities, portending a weekend in the $39 million to $44 million range.

 

Peter Jackson’s Hobbit finale doubled its $6 million Christmas Eve total to about $12 million at  3,875, leading to a probable $40 million weekend — a hold that’s in line with the previous two films — and a U.S. total around $155 million by the end of Sunday.

 

Paramount’s remake of “The Gambler” opened respectably with about $4.5 million at 2,478 on Christmas, portending a weekend of around $15 million. The Weinstein Co.’s “Big Eyes” looked moderate with an opening $1.5 million at 1,307.

This is really impressive IMO. $3,021 PTA with several theaters not opening until 3PM!
