Rudolf Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 How many Americans would watch a move about Alexander II. who freed the slaves 1861? 4 years later he US followed. Since 1920 even women can vote in the US. Russia was also 3 years ahead in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully the US didn't follow this time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) I mean if anyone wants to write about russian movies and box office that's fine by me. Even great. But making a garbage heap from anything you can salvage on the web that's really dumb. Edited January 24, 2013 by juni78ukr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juni78ukr Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Everyone remember here how hard bombed Burnt by the Sun 2 and 3. Both put together they grossed 9m on 40m+ budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juni78ukr Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 In theaters already reported Lincoln is doing very poor. Selling less tickets than Life of Pi on week 4.On the contrary Gangster Squad looks much stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullbuster Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Lincoln couldn't be a success there, but I'm quite curious about Gangster Squad, it could surprise a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riczhang Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 No surprise. Don't think anyone expected Lincoln to do anything but Flop OS. No one OS really wants to see a film about an American President that's also extremely talky. Just not what OS would like outside of maybe the UK, Oz, and other English speaking countries.

Rudolf Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Lincoln is also a very boring character (honest Abe), not a womanizer (Clinton, Kennedy) or a crook (Nixon). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juni78ukr Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Lincoln wouldnt make even 50,000 on Thursday. Rust and Bone and Great Expectations are doing even worse. Gangster Squad should gross 350-400k on Thursday. Not great but at least acceptable. Hansel and Gretel should stay in the lead and the drop is rather mild.
