Looks really solid

[TStechnij]

You have to exclude J.Edgar and Revolutionary Road. Those were 35m budget award plays, they weren't going over 100m even with a BP win. So that makes Leo's track record 6/8 in the last decade over 100m. Sure Leo wouldn't take Birdman to blockbuster level but The Reverant has a more commercial-friendly premise than the "meta" industry focused Birdman.

You can't exclude those two because this is just a 165m "awards play."

And The Revenant isn't commercial. The only people who care about this movie is the forum and like the bro types. It isn't going to make money.

Considering how well my sold out showing of Martian reacted to this trailer, I would say you're wrong. 

[DAR]

This will appeal to bro types? Is there a scene where Leo and Hardy do a beer bong?

[CoolioD1]

Wait until The Revenant 2: Talkin' 'Tang.

Anecdotal. That won't neccisarily equate to big box office receipts. But maybe it will breakout like AS, who knows.

And by 'the bro type' I mean the people who show up to Tarantino films.

[Cmasterclay]

I too like to make my box office predictions by shuffling people into stupid groups that have no basis in reality.

Well considering Taratino's films are pretty successful that bodes well

[Ethan Hunt]

I don't expect too much from this at the box office. Definitely don't see it hitting 100M

We don't know this yet. I'm just saying as a premise is more easily marketable to mainstream audiences than Rev. Road, J.Edgar and Birdman.

[Ethan Hunt]

I would just like to point out that based off the second trailer Leo's character looks like a legitimate lunatic.

Yeah, it's a revenge flick starring Leonardo DiCaprio.  It should have mainstream appeal.

We all would probably be loony if we were attacked by a bear then buried alive. Just sayin.

[TStechnij]

Screening in LA tonight. Hopefully will get reactions.

[TStechnij]

I could totally be wrong about this screening. It was group think speculation. Rumor says that it might be Deadpool instead?

[TStechnij]

No joke. My contacts didn't even get into the screening despite RSVPing. This might be a flop showing.

[TStechnij]

It was The Revenant! First reaction was very meh and in all the ways some of us expected. Let me find more.

First impression: visual and technical masterpiece, narrative a mess. Hardy is MVP.

[TStechnij]

lol. I'm so propagating a fake reaction. Carry on.
