I like the fact that Hacksaw Ridge is holding up pretty good at the box office.

How high will it most likely go?

[timurfincuk]

Maybe 70?

[Jake Gittes]

Should end up in low 60s unless it gets a lot of Oscar love (which I kinda doubt it will even after seeing it).

[MrHardapple]

Another good weekend hold (minus 18%) - I really hope HR can get to $65 Million.

For a $40 million film without much hype, this would be pretty good.

Guns are Evil.

War is violent.

And Private Jesus Prevailed.

The End.

 

Alleluia !

You realize how annoying you are @The Futurist, right?

You can do that for any movie.

7 nominationf for Hacksaw Ridge from the Critics Choice Awards!

 

The real surprise here, however, goes to Hacksaw Ridge, the World War II drama directed by Mel Gibson. The film picked up seven nominations, including for best picture, best director, and best actor. Gibson, it would seem, might actually have a comeback on his hands.

Great! Though not sure why VF is surprised. It's a great movie. And I'm actually ticked Hugo Weaving didn't get nominated.

Cool but they might be slightly biased.

Why??

 

Theres no bias here imo. HR is that good.

[Elessar]

That was not a slight. I'm sure HR is very good but the fact is it's an australian director with a mostly australian crew filming in australia.

[baumer]

Fair enough.

With $61,898,104 (domestic) - Hacksaw Ridge is the fourth highest grossing Lionsgate film of 2016 so far.

Maybe it can even reach #2 (Divergent Allegiant: $66,184,051).

I think 70M is still in play.

When everybody is leaving the ridge and he's still there with Smitty body and ask God

 

"What is it you want of me? I don't understand. I CAN'T HEAR YOU"

 

And then comes a voice from deep in the battlefield, with heavy artillery still hitting the ground

 

"MEDIC! MEDIC! 

 

And then he's like 

 

"Alright" 

 

And he's going in, alone, fearless.

 

It could've been so cheesy, but it wasn't. Fu!k!ng goosebumps
