20 million? wtf!

[Ando918]

Pro Bowl on late Sunday afternoon may take some viewers away from Sniper.  Yea, it is probably only 10 million viewers instead of the 100 million for The Super Bowl, but it is still something.  Sniper's weekend will likely be somewhere in the 50s.

[DeeCee]

I think it needs $68.5m for the 2nd biggest weekend in January.

Why would anyone buy a bootleg in the age of the internet where you can easily get it for free?

 

Still plenty of people buying bootleg copies at car boot sales here in the UK. Some people are terrified of downloading/streaming a movie because they believe everything they hear in the news.

Holy crap that's massive for American Sniper. 70M+ is in play now and 400M+ as well. It's over for Katniss.

I wonder how a movie would fare consisting of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence playing opposing assassins.

[Overpassassin]

50 million people watching Sniper lose to Boyhood, a movie the majority of them probably won't even have heard of, will  be good to see.

And the same people who were like "Nothing's wrong with the Oscars. No minorities got nominated because they just weren't good enough" will be going on about Hollywood's liberal bias.

On my phone. Just arrived from AS. Fantastic movie, a near masterpiece.

The Pro Bowl did not affect Lone Survivor. I doubt it'll affect American Sniper. Still hoping for as much money as possible this weekend.

Nic Cage did Raising Arizona...which gives him a free pass for life in my book.

 

I'd like to see Johnny Depp and Eastwood work together. Just imagining Clint's death stare when Depp turns up on set in some goofy getup/voice is cracking me up.

That image made me lol

[Heretic]

This is probably the most mind boggling run of all time. Seriously, where the hell did this come from?

Same here and I think Raising Arizona is way better than anything Depp has ever done. One of my favorite films of all-time.

[Ozymandias]

Warner Bros is acing the TV spots.

Like I said once before, if it's going to beat MJ1, I want it to do massive! I want over $500m for it and I think that's possible with these over $70m 2nd weekend projections.
