I hope it's for The Martian.

I cant handle long movies anymore. When I see those 80-95m running times it makes me happy. Trim the fat, motherfuckers. 

One thing I love about animated films is that pretty much all of them are 90 minutes long due to cost issues.

[Nutterbutter]

Leaving in five minutes to get my Martian on!

No need for Rth, I am here:

 

Friday number is 18.12M.

Earlier was going with 18.5-19.5, rest DL had probably in the right ball park

Damn.

[FilmBuff]

19.5! Fuck yeah!

[Bigausorus]

Oh great opening Day for The Martian.

 

maybe a good 52-54M$ OW

[CJohn]

You're in a slump I see?? Hopefully, your PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 5 Prediction is right..

Fucking hell, I am stuck.

 

Seems like an eternity ago when I correctly predicted the OWs of Inside Out and Terminator Genisys...

[Ethan Hunt]

I hope it's for The Martian.

I just mean the theatre in general, but yes lots of people here for The Martian it appears as wells as Hotel Transylvania

[Blankments]

You know Summer's over when people are complaining that there are too many quality adult films cannibalizing each other. 

This is just the beginning. Steve Jobs. Crimson Peak. The Walk going wide. Bridge of Spies.

 

We are doomed.

Not a record.

Awesome # for The Martian. Hope it can go up as the day goes on.

RE Long runtimes: I don't mind long runtimes unless it's three hours, it's why I skipped Interstellar in theater. When you factor in getting there early and however many minutes of trailers, it adds up. I sat for a solid three hours when AOU came out and I was stiff after it ended (and not from the mid-credits scene )

SIR RIDLEY IS COMING FOR YOU GRAVITY

I've seen alot of anger and vitriol thrown around by fanboys on this board, but this intense hate here for a well-reviewed, small-scale Robert Zemeckis drama about a guy who walks across the World Trade Center is.........pretty stupefying, to be honest. 

 

I'm not surprised. Users on this board have had it out for The Walk since the first trailer was released.

[WrathOfHan]

So lets assume The Martian plays like Gravity this weekend and it earns 19.5 today. Tomorrow would be 25.545M and Sunday would be 17.114 (rounded), totaling for 62.159M this weekend.

 

[Jake Gittes]

I hope the OW is $55,785,111.

[Blankments]

Open two adult dramas against the much more widely appealing Martian?

 

[La Binoche]

Pan looks bad, Bridge of Spies looks boring as fuck, The Last Witch Hunter and Paranormal 6 look laughable, Goosebumps looks meh...at least the quality films will be able to breathe against this sorry lineup. 

[DAJK]

God is back! How's it going Rth?
