The Edge of Seventeen | Hailee Steinfeld | Moved to November 18

[ban1o]

Oh wow I completely forgot this was rated R lol. What a silly choice in terms of boxoffice potential. And you know I'm sure if they just removed all the f bombs it would be rated PG-13 and you wouldn't lose anything from it. It doesn't seem like the type of film to warrant an R rating. I mean Easy A was Pg-13 lol. 

 

Yeah it won't make 60 million then.

This is rated R? Welp, there goes its box office chances probably.

"Fast, full-hearted and graced with a beautifully modulated lead turn by Hailee Steinfeld, the movie takes the risk of playing it straight and sincere - and the risk pays off."

 

"Steinfeld makes Nadine a hellion you can't tear yourself away from. She isn't just the star of "The Edge of Seventeen" - she's its center of gravity."

 

"But Nadine isn’t defined by self-pity so much as self-loathing, and Steinfeld’s fantastically lived-in performance never forgets the difference."

 

"Steinfeld’s incredible performance keeps the audience on Nadine’s side. "

 

"Against all odds, Steinfeld nails it. Even when Nadine is at her most unlikable, she’s always compelling. Steinfeld consistently shows the audience that Nadine is more than a two-dimensional whiny brat."

 

I'm so glad that my Queen is finally being acclaimed again, it's been 6 years since True Gift after all, it was about time! Golden Globe, here we go!

Hailee's music career is also doing quite well, her current single "Starving" is at Top 10 on Spotify and iTunes USA.

interesting. It seems they are trying to appeal to adults with that trailer lol. They need to try harder to appeal to teens. I guess the R rating might hurt it in that regard though.

"I should go in there and be like 'excuse me, where are the Betta fish and do you wanna have sex right now?'"

"Hell yeah!"

"Not you!"

So does she get with the Asian guy at the end? 

[Gumby]

I really like Steinfeld, but who's the audience for this?

yeah the audience is confusing. I don't see this getting an audience even if it has good reviews. Should have been PG-13 and had more typical teen jokes in the trailer 

[Hatebox]

It won't be that big, but going by the trailer it would be a completely different movie if it wasn't rated R. Certainly didn't hurt American Pie, lest we forget.

this won't be a big hit being r-rated

 

may do similar to The Duff, under 40m

[75Live]

doesn't look good and a definite pass for me, but at least Woody Harrelson was funny at the end

[Blankments]

First predicts:

 

OW: 14M

DOM: 46M
