BS is gonna need some extra charmins to wipe off the stain of bomb.

I am kinda hoping next weekend is good for MIB 3 box office in May will be boring if that flops.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Had they put Liam Neeson saying that with an epic scene after it, it would have locked at least 50M OW.

I was actually excited the first time I saw the trailer, I kept waiting for him to say it, and nothing! Then I find out it's not in the movie at all.. WTF. They make a movie after a ridiculous board game but that one line is going overboard? They want to be taken seriously?

TA alone made this one of the best months, IMO.

Summer is going to be boring thanks to Avengers sucking the life out of the box office.

Nope.There are a lot of films coming out that look to do outstanding business.

I prefer when there are lots of movies doing well, not just one.

Safehouse earned 400k in midnights and went on to open to 40m. Just sayin'...

Yeah I don't know what he's talking about...MIB3, Prometheus, Brave, TASM and TDKR will all do big to huge business. With the start TA gave it, this summer has the potential to be one of the biggest ever.

I don't know why it makes me so angry but I've been steamed about it ever since I found out

[Chewy]

How do you know people want to see MIB3?

[CJohn]

I was actually also expecting some line like that said by Liam Nesson. I was disappointed after seeing the movie and no line like that was said.

[ecstasy]

How do you know people want to see MIB3?

It's one of summers most anticipated movies per Fandango. Rotten Tomatoes User Ratings/Want to See are up there with the Dark Knight Rises. 95% of 165,638.So yeah. People want to see it.

Safehouse earned 400k in midnights and went on to open to 40m. Just sayin'...

Safe House also had Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds as leads, strong critical buzz, opened in the middle of February where it's only competition was Chronicle, and had an actual plot.

Safe House didn't have strong critical buzz. I'll give you the rest though.
