A movie about a guy landing a plane safely is going to out open Warcraft and make it to 30M. It's out opening Flight too, which had drunk Denzel and actual death and serious repercussions. I was so excited for Flight, maybe I should give Sully a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also This ends on a high note while Flight does not. I think people would prefer a feel good film to one with actual serious repercussions.

James Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Called it with Sully's opening. I never understood why people underpredicted it. Yeah, it looks boring as fuck, but it's the perfect choice for adult crowds this time of year. I expect a 3.5x multi or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did meet Tom Hanks once about 2 years ago On 8/16/2014 at 5:09 PM, grim22 said: So I was in Malibu and while returning there was a road closure, decided to just drive around the closure and took a wrong turn. I must have ended up in some major star home location. I stopped 10 minutes for pictures of the view and freaking Tom Hanks parks behind me. Now that is some surreal timing. Told him the usual big fan etc and took a couple of pics. Still can't believe it. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhawk the Hutt Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I mean, who wouldn't want to meet Tom Hanks? He's one of the greatest actors of all time, plus he just genuinely seems like a great guy. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Wonder if this opening has anything to do with Sully being the first real adult fall movie. If so, what would this mean for films like Deepwater or Accountant? Maybe we get a strong streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deepwater Horizon I imagine $20-25m which isn't great considering its budget and I think around the same for The Accountant maybe a tad higher 11 minutes ago, CJohn said: That can't be stopped OS.
