I think he's truly become a changed man in the last few years. He was on The Daily Show last year talking about how he used his hiatus after I Heart Huckabees to get his personal demons resolved.

Does groping your own niece count as resolving demons? curious to know.

[lab276]

It's a 2014 release.

But it went wide in 2015.

[Asyulus]

Only $15 million on Monday? That's a 40% drop. I doubt that. This'll have a 10-15% drop on Monday. $109-111 million is my guess for the eventual 4 day actuals.

I think you are overpredicting it. I say 107.3mln 4-day total.

[kayumanggi]

But it went wide in 2015.

 

That's true. But technically, it's still a 2014 release.

Hey, look. A mid-budget R-Rated non-franchise pic just opened to $90 million.

Got to say that might be my favorite thing about all of this.

[kayumanggi]

$21.7 million overseas haul for #SeventhSon this week. The film is #1 in China.

Except Mahnamahna.

You are right that he was the one guy. I would love it if all his big predictions for this year come true.

[4815162342]

That Sunday drop is too generous

#AmericanSniper came within inches of beating record for all-time #1 R-rated opening. MatrixReloaded still holds w/ $91.8M.

we might as well call it a 2015 release. Who cares if it played in a couple theaters in la and new york for 20 seconds so it could qualify for awards.

Why this film did well, look at this poster.

Yep, no patriotism there. What s that thing in front of Bcoop s body ? It's hiding the view. Edited January 18, 2015 by The Futurist
