Weekend #s: Neeson 40.4M, Selma 11.2, ITW 9.75, Hobbit 9.4, Unbroken 8.3. All #s pg 15. Happy now Kayu?

The film glorifies Chris Kyle. A fucking sociopath of the highest degree. 

I don't know much about him, but if I had killed 160 people, I would commit suicide.

[GiantCALBears]

Strong # for a franchise that should have never made it past a second movie in Taken.

[Noctis]

It's not that. He LOVED killing. He said so in his book. He didn't care which side they were on. As long as they were Iraqis, he'd shoot and feel absolutely no remorse. He'd gloat about it. He's killed more than a handful of women.

 

It's gonna be a huge hit, where the vast vast majority have no clue about how he really is.

#LiamNeeson's Taken films cost $120M combined to produce. Total global BO for franchise shd reach about $900M. #Taken3

Yeah, I'm reading about it now. E.g. "The number isn't important to me, I just wish I had killed more" - he sounds pretty disturbed. If he's killed innocents in Iraq then he should be in prison.

[kayumanggi]

I'm sorry but I have noticed that thread-makers and moderators have become lazy when it comes to editing thread titles. Responsibility people. lol

He also said he punched out Jesse Ventura at a bar for talking shit about the Navy Seals and killed Hurricane Katrina looters, both of which were proven to be bullshit.  I think after that many tours in Iraq and taking out 255 people messed with his head and hes just running his mouth.

This.

He was probably a completely different person before Iraq.

Well depends, I think Soldiers either like it or just tune it out. 

 

 

About the film, it is quite a controversial figure however the type of film that Middle America will love.

Was it you who edited it? lol

Really strong # for Tak3n. Should come at least very close to 100m now. Hobbit with a mediocre drop. I really hope it's still gonna inch past DoS. Also, American Sniper continuing to kill in limited release. It seems like Gran Torino's domestic total is going down.

How's Hobbit 3 doing so far compared to the other Hobbit films worldwide? What's it going to finish at?

Needs a miracle from China to make 1 billion. 950 M would still be a great number though.
