Don't be that guy, Noctis.

He's not a favorite of mine, but I do always enjoy anything he does. And it's just disheartening to see the hate he's getting from all of the elitist film snobs because he keeps getting nominated for oscars. So what? 

Haters gonna hate, and ain'ters gonna ain't.

American Sniper. The next movie to outgross Amazing Spider-Man 2

[Fancyarcher]

Michael Mann movies are never a waste of money.

 

Well Miami Vice (2006) ain't his finest film as a director.

Last year proved that any time of the year is good to open a movie now. April had Cap, August had Guardians of the Galaxy, Nov had Hunger Games. Put out a movie the people want to see, and make the movie good, and the movie will do good. 

 

Every year there are different movies proving that. Summer was a dead box office season till Jaws, March sucked till 300 opened to over 70M there, Spider-Man showed that May can be used to kick off summer, Fast and Furious showed that April was not a dead zone, Gravity did that for October and so on. 

 

I agree with your takeaway, release a movie people want to see and people will go see it.

wow. I wonder what it is about war films in January?!

He is the #3 Chris on Marvel's roster. Evans and Pratt are bigger draws in my opinion.

The guy had potential, I seen it in Star Trek, but since then, like I said, he's been lucky. In Thor 1 and 2 and Avengers, he got seriously upstaged by other actors like Tom Hiddleston, Robert Downey Jr, Samuel L Jackson and Chris Evans. And don't get me started on Rush. Heck, Cabin in the Woods, no one barely remembers him, because it was the pothead that stole all the scenes, and all he had to say was "what the fuck?!!??!!"

Sure, but one doesn't equal the other.

lol

Chris Hemsworth just isn't a draw that everyone thinks he is. He's just been lucky to be surrounded by others who are draws. I don't care what People think, they got the wrong Chris as sexiest man alive, it should've been Chris Evans.

Nobody thinks Hemsworth is a draw except blind the few Thor enthusiasts who stupidly believe that those films succeeded due to the guy and not the Marvel brand. He is super hot, but his acting is mediocre and his alleged charisma is nothing but people being dazzled by his beauty.

Samuel L Jackson? 

 

The guy's nothing more than a piece of furniture compared to everyone else.

You should watch Rush. 

[Donald]

Deadline updates are under predicting this!

[CoolioD1]

Thor ain't nothing outside those thor movies. He got lucky he suits that role. really I haven't seen anything that puts him above a Josh Hartnett or whatever. (And don't try to come at me like Rush is some great work. plz)

Hemsworth and Evans are both very good but neither is a particularly big draw. Why am I seeing so much Evans vs Hemsworth stuff recently? And seriously, where is this "Evans is a bigger draw than Hemsworth" thing even coming from? Has Evans ever been in a non-Marvel movie that didn't bomb?

[Noctis]

The biggest draw by far in the Avengers is RDJ as Iron Man.

 

Interesting that Scarlett Johansson is quickly becoming a really big box office draw. 

[Maxmoser3]

American Sniper over 60M and Paddington and Wedding Ringer over 30M each?!?! It is gonna be the biggest January weekend ever

probably the biggest since either MLK 2009's weekend or 2010

i think Not Another Teen Movie made little money

[John Marston]

Only Downey Jr. And Johannsen seem to be draws and even then, only in certain roles.
