Friday, Dec. 26 Box Office: Hobbit 15.6, Unbroken 12.3, ITW 12.2, NATM 7.4 (full BOM weekend #s on p14)

I actually like Burton better when he is on Big Eyes/Big Fish/Ed Wood mode than when he is in Alice/Batman/Sleepy Hollow mode.

Big fish is my all time favourite movie!

[CJohn]

I kinda want NATM3 to cross the 100M, even if I am not gonna see it. 

 

I still don't understand what happened with HB2. It is also underperforming over here, and usually comedies do incredibly well here. Did they wait too long?

[FilmBuff]

Sondheim's the best but Rob Marshall is not and I loathe James Corden. Dilemna.

James Corden was one of the weak links for me in the movie. His story line really didn't lead anywhere, and his character had nothing to do. He was outdone by his costars. Musical composition was great. I'd say still see it, even though the ending is crap.

[Ezen Baklattan]

Will see Imitation Game tomorrow. Big Eyes sometime next week.

And ddddeeee, Marshall's direction is sorta weak, but Corden is actually better than I thought he'd be.

Seriously? It'll be up towards $310 after this weekend, then we have another holiday week/weekend next week, so it'll be at LEAST at $320 after next weekend. Another $13m (will probably need less) is a given.

 

Happy birthday, Cozmees!

I've little to no idea how he is as an actor but he's a huge media personality over here and I can't stand him.

Corden's a pretty good actor. tony winner, and I saw that show when it was at the west end and it's not undeserved. But over here his presence on lots of tv and what not have made him pretty hated, I don't really pay attention to that stuff, but I dont know anyone who likes him.

[Cochofles]

I had no idea that Corden was so...disliked. All I have seen him in is that Paul Potts film, and he broke my heart in that.

[CJohn]

I have no idea what a James Corden is.

BOFTA should be around 36-40m ahead of DOS before part 2 starts to catch up on dailies for a week.

He's pretty much an unknown on this side of the pond.

Horrible Bosses probably was just too forgettable that it didn't generate interest for the sequel.

[forg]

I only knew Corden in Begin Again and that he's replacing Craig Ferguson on CBS

[miketheavenger]

Penguins had a nice increase but still not gonna save face. I really feel bad for Dreamworks

[Heretic]

I've little to no idea how he is as an actor but he's a huge media personality over here and I can't stand him.

I don't think I hate anyone more.

[Chaz]

It took me forever to realize that people were abbreviating The Battle of the Five Armies into BOFTA. Battle of Five The Armies? GORL.
