Hmm. The Holiday season is more exciting than summer.

[Alpha]

I think this'll definitely do well, it's definitely going for the American Sniper crowd along with the Christian audience. I'm thinking there's a possibility of a $30 million-plus opening weekend if reviews are good and Lionsgate puts up a competent marketing campaign.

As it normally is

I think this will open somewhere in the high teens, but leg it out to 70-90M.

Don't forget Nocturnal Animals and Manchester by the Sea in addition to Fences, Silence, Patriots Day and others.

Can I see this movie if I am a hardcore atheist ?

and Billy Lynn unless the reviews are really bad.

The rumor has it the movie is 

 

Spoiler

a bloodbath during the war scenes with guts & severed limbs & gallons of blood that make Saving Private Ryan look like a Pixar movie.

 

 

Not sure how GA will react to this aspect to be honest.

 

And yes I know about Mel's Jesus movie.

I don't know how you can expect anything else from a Mel Gibson war movie to be honest.

[AniNate]

In a movie titled "Hacksaw Ridge", no less

 

Though I'm not sure if any actual hacksaws are involved

A good interview with Mel. Also, he answers a question about that Viking movie some of you were wondering about.

Wouldn't be surprised at a low 20s OW, a tiny drop over Veteran's Day weekend, and some sturdy legs on the way to $100 million+ DOM

That was actually a very interesting interview.  Thanks for sharing it.  

 

I have to admit, I have really liked most of what Mel has directed.  I hope we do get to see that Viking movie one day, and a sequel to Passion?  Hmmm...I don't know, but very interesting that they are talking about it.

Not surprising considering parts of Okinawa made Omaha Beach look like the Hamptons.

[Ozymandias]

Ugh, I'd really prefer that Vikings version of Apacalypto than a Passion sequel which I wouldn't really be interested in at all.   But if he does make it, I'm sure it would make a lot of money because everyone knows Mel Gibson is a strong believer and wouldn't radically alter the story like Exodus and Noah did.

Really good interview
