fmpro Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 She's on crack. Nobody expected Arriety to do much of anything, Disney included. It's definitely beating expectations, granted when expectations are that small it's not that shocking. It's not like Disney is pumping a lot of money into advertising this thing.buisy day for you kowhite.. 50+ posts today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomknf Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Why are you given Chaning all the credit for The Vow? I'll put money that Rachel McAdams had more to do with The Vow's success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put money that Rachel McAdams had more to do with The Vow's success.I`m not giving him more cred. I`m merely commenting on the fact that movie buffs jumped to write him off as the leading man and now he proved a draw at least in one genre (don`t forget Dear John). Unlike Hardy who hasn`t been catching fire despite significant exposure. I wish they switched cause Hadry is infinitely more talented but cred where cred is due. Channing has a dedicated fandom, period. Edited February 18, 2012 by fishnets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilmBuff Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) No way is Rachael McRib the draw for The Vow. She is a HORRIBLE actress playing the same role in every film. Film's success belongs to Channing Tatum. Edited February 18, 2012 by FilmBuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 No one knew who Tom Hardy was before 2010. How could he be a big draw now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krissykins Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 And McAdams has never had an outright bomb either:Sherlock $524mSherlock 2 $504.7mWedding Crashers $285.2mMidnight in Paris $148.4mMean Girls $129mThe Notebook $115.6mTime Traveler's Wife $101.3mRed Eye $95.6mThe Family Stone $92.3mState Of Play $87.8mThe Vow $79mMorning Glory $58.8mThe Hot Chick $54.6mShe's never had a wide release gross less than $50m worldwide. and above those 2 every other film is 90+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kowhite Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yeah I find it a pretty ridiculous claim to say McAdams has no draw, whether you like her or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) No one knew who Tom Hardy was before 2010. How could he be a big draw now?Because between 2010 and now he received extreme amount of exposure which should have been enough to guarantee at least double the opening digit of The Warrior from Bane and TDKR afictionados. Hey, what better movie to check out if Hardy is the right Bane than the one where he`s playing MMA meataxe? As it is, nobody turned up for that one. Now, I don`t expect Trekkies and comic book fans to go for TMW but many women like those movies and find actors hot and yet Channing prevailed. Somehow, I doubt it`s the allure of McAdams vs washed up Reese that decided this. After all, Channing did open Step Up without being a big name beforehand.

4815162342 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) And McAdams has never had an outright bomb either: Sherlock $524m (Not a draw factor at all for the Downey Jr./Law buddy action-fest) Sherlock 2 $504.7m (See above, especially since she has a glorified cameo) Wedding Crashers $285.2m (Not a factor, this was the Wilson/Vaughn draw) Midnight in Paris $148.4m (A small role in an ensemble, not a draw) Mean Girls $129m (She was unknown prior to this, so not a draw) The Notebook $115.6m Time Traveler's Wife $101.3m Red Eye $95.6m The Family Stone $92.3m (ensemble film, a supporting role) State Of Play $87.8m (The leads were Crowe and Affleck, not a factor in drawing box office really) The Vow $79m Morning Glory $58.8m The Hot Chick $54.6m (An unknown here, not a draw factor since it was a Rob Schneider comedy) Struck through all the films where she was not a relevant factor at all in bringing in the crowd Edited February 18, 2012 by 4815162342 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishstick Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Struck Notebook because that`s the movie that put her on the map. She and Gosling didn`t open it for they were unknowns, Nicholas Sparks did. Edited February 18, 2012 by fishnets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
