In those Sony/Jobs emails as it was falling apart and they were losing Fincher and couldn't get Leo or Cruise  Sorkin's reply to the suggestion of Fassbender was he didn't know who Fassbender was and the rest of the world isn't going to care, that it was insane. He later agreed because they were running out of time and he was a great actor.

In fall anticipation surveys, interest in Steve Jobs dropped 7.9% when people were told Fassbender was the star. And while I kinda get that one given the lack of resemblance, interest in Macabeth drops 23.5% when Fassbender and Cotillard are paired with the film- which baffles me and makes me wonder if Fassbender isn't sparking any interest in audiences.
 

Though it wouldn't surprise me at all, if they only interviewed like 30 people.

That literally makes 0 sense. Did someone asked if JGL was pushing people away from The Walk and The Night Before?

Plus.. “MacBeth,” an adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Scottish Play” with Marion Cottilard and Michael Fassbender, saw it score plunge 23.5% when its stars were listed alongside the film."

Caught Crimson Peak Thursday night.  Maybe the most gorgeous film I've seen this year.

Having a name would have helped a little but i think going limited for two weeks really hurt the film, they should have gone wide on the 9th October first

Though it wouldn't surprise me at all, if they only polled like 40 people.

Well, Fassbender isn't a big name, so it isn't that surprising. Christian Bale as Jobs or DiCaprio as Jobs would probably spark more interest.

The Walk, forgot about this movie s existence already.

 

Poor robin ...

The only reason I went to Slow West was Fassenbender.

Yeah, I wouldn't take it seriously. Very few actors are draws these days. It's all about concept and execution more then anything.

This quote from the article tells me that shit is not reliable at all:

“Rock the Kasbah,” a military comedy with Bill Murray and Bruce Willis, received a 39.7% surge in popularity when the cast was revealed.

Jobs is flopping again?

That confirms Nolan is not perfect. Dude wanted to make JGL the future of Batman.

This quote from the article tells me that shit is not reliable at all:

Imagine how badly it would flop without Murray and Willis 

[CoolioD1]

Slow West one of those movies I can't decide if it was fun or an annoying piece of shit. fassbender was good though.

Yes, but even Bale has little major box office success outside of Nolan's Batman trilogy, though to be fair, his appearance would spark more interest, it just doesn't always lead to good box office.

[moviesRus]

Well, why is a well-received movie about a super famous dead guy and with Oscar buzz flopping when this weekend's output is literally all garbarge?

Bale would have worked but I think Tom Cruise who looks more similar to Jobs would have been more interesting but given his Mission Impossible commitments, he was always unlikely

This quote from the article tells me that shit is not reliable at all:

I was more interested in the project once I saw Murray and Willis were attached.  I became disinterested when I saw the reviews.

Everyone already spent their movie-going allowance from their parents on star wars this week.

Ha, ha! That's great. Just shows how pointless polls can really be.
