Weekend Numbers | 19.4 M FATE OF THE FURIOUS | 12 M HOW TO BE LATIN LOVER | 10.1 M BAAHUBALI II | 9.3 M THE CIRCLE

(though The Rock is the closest to BECOMING a huge draw. He doesn't have enough resume to verify)

[Jake Gittes]

This feels like those times when Borat and Hannah Montana pulled $30-40k PTAs from less than 1,000 theaters and out-opened everything else. Obviously smaller scale but still. This movie was not on my radar at all.

No. None of them are the consistent draw that Leo is.

Leo is not even close in consistency to denzel and cruise.

I didn't say they were consistent draw has Leo is. I asked if they were not movie star ?

 

Denzel has been more consistent than Leo, in the 2000's Denzel has opened all is wide release over 20m except one, he is batting 17 on 18, Leo has much better world peak potential, one thing Denzel has is clock work consistency.

 

Are you saying that you need to be as big as Dicaprio to be a movie star ? That the minimum bar ?

This WHO'S A DRAW argument comes up once a month it seems.  It's perpetual and it will never end.  It's exhausting talking about it month after month.

It is. Because it's Leo. Only Leo. Always Leo.

That Baahubali number is insane. Good luck to the KJ Derby...

Okay so this doesn't have to do with "who is a draw" but the topic of picking the right roles came up and I noticed this weird observation. Certain actors/actresses will star in almost everything that comes their way (nothing wrong with that) and other actors/actresses will be extremely choosey i.e. they wait for the right role/movie for them. What I find interesting is that in both situations people will find a way to discredit the work of the actor or call them a box office flop. Like if an actor/actress puts out one movie every year or two folks will say something like "See! No one is checking for them. They're desperate for roles!" And I'm like umm no more like numerous scripts have come their way and they're just not interested in them. In the other case, an actor is more likely to have a long list of films that maybe didn't do so well because well they're in a lot of films...the chances of them doing all well aren't that good and yet people will be like "See so and so is a box office flop!" 

 

Like if you wait for the right role you're considered irrelevant but if you sign up for a bunch of films and only some do well, you're considered a flop. 

 

Its so weird to me.

I mean when a film is chilling at 21% on RT for critics and 33% for audience score, there won't be much to like about the movie. You did this to yourself 

[WrathOfHan]

What my AMC looks like for the rest of the day:

 

The Circle:

 

4:25: 7/124

7:20: 13/124

10:05: 2/124

 

F8:

 

4:10: 0/113

5:25: 0/78

7:15: 12/113

8:40: 2/78

9:55: 0/78

 

The first two showings of The Circle both had around 30 seats sold each where F8's have been in the low to mid-teens.

This talk about who is a movie star is insane.

 

The only answer is Leo. He's it. There is nobody that can touch him.

Wait a minute, are you telling me that movie stars don't have perfect BO records? Color me surprised

[Biggestgeekever]

The only movie star with a spotless record is Newt from Aliens.

It's almost like there's no longer such a thing as a draw and people expect to be sold on the actual movie being made.
