What the heck? Mortdecai and Blackhat are the two movies that actually go up from estimates?

[JohnnyGossamer]

Because it features the two most hated teams in football?

I love Brady and like the Seahawks. A dynasty in its infancy v. a storied, troubled, aged dynasty. Most excited I've been for a Super Bowl since Steelers/Packers. I didn't realize people weren't hyped?

300k increase, not much but it didn't go down like most everything else.

I'm not really excited. I hate the Patriots and the Srahawks are only OK.

Unbroken went up as well.

[kitik]

what do you guys think about this:

 

 

Strange Magic > Mortdecai + Blackhat combined?

 

 

If not for Spongebob, I'd say it was fairly likely to happen, but I'm not so sure because those sea creatures will nibble at the legs more than usual.

[Frozen]

No. I think Strange Magic is toast. All three movies will finish under $15 million.

[Mattrek]

200m after 2 weekends, absolutely incredible.

[Warhorse]

The main market for this is the south...so

No!

Actually, I would take it one step further and say that the typical people who see this movie are a pretty rugged type, and not easily scared off by some snow and wind.

Wild's story is inspiring.  I loved Wild...one of the 5 best of the year imo.

A good one to watch if you need to write some introspective song lyrics.   

 

The Superbowl is this week? Why does it feel like a non-event this year? 

Might be a lot of people like me who are sick to death of the fake "scandal" and just tuned out of sports talk for a while.   Air pressure in a ball....jesus...

[Claire of Themyscira]

I liked Transcendance.
