GET THAT BOX OFFICE SMASH, JESSICA.

 

[Avatree]

Go Ridley Scott and go Jessica Chastain! 

Chastain is barely in the movie.

Chastain is barely in the movie.

A few seconds of Jess are better than 2 hours of most other actresses. It's quality over quantity.

Tell that to Jurassica's 2011 filmography.

Will be contributing to the Friday gross in under 90 minutes

Jessica Chastain was great in Jurassic World. Yes, I'm joking but a ton of people think she was in JW.

[Jake Gittes]

Yeah, Chastain is good as usual in TM, but it's a pretty thankless role. She had more to do in Interstellar.

[Jonwo]

Have to say, the landscapes of Mars which was actually the desert of Jordan looked stunning. 

[Fancyarcher]

Solid number for Martian. Should make around 50m this weekend.

[La Binoche]

Chastain is barely in the movie.

 

I know, but her name is still attached to this well-reviewed soon-to-be smash hit.

Ah I see. The first one was for Wednesday. My bad.

Different figures?

That is the Thursday number. The other is the Wednesday number

Visit's starting to lose a lot of theaters, I wonder if Universal will re-expand it if it drops substantially by Halloween.

They have Crimson Peak coming so I doubt it.

[WrathOfHan]

There'll probably be some double features now that you brought up CP.

[La Binoche]

Loving The Visit's success. What a blast that was. I never in a million years would have thought M Night still had it in him. I wonder how much of it is due to Jason Blum (the guy gets horror). 

[CJohn]

Very likely, yes.
