Is it an app you can put on the phone or are you just looking at it through the Internet? I always scroll to the bottom of the page and press on the FULL VERSION tab so it looks the same as it does when I look at it on my laptop.

When I do that the text is way smaller though. Strains my eyes.

That is just soooo bad! That has to be worse than even their worst case scenario. Edited May 20, 2012 by FTF

So Avengers made more on its third weekend than all three openers combined (barring Wed. and Thurs. gross for Dictator).

YEP. they were expecting 35-40m opening

I wouldn't say this for other films, but I'm so glad Battleship bombed. It looks so bad that it would be unfair for it to steal other movies audience lol And I'm not feeling any hype for MiB 3, maybe for Will Smith comeback, but not for Men in Black, I wouldn't be surprised if it disappoints.

Well Kitsch handled the challenge with aplomb, outdid himself in the bomb department.

Whenever I think of Battleship I think of this:

After I finished pitching one of my ideas for a low-budget romantic comedy, I was met with silence. One of the execs sheepishly looked at the other execs. He finally said, “Yeah, but we’re really trying to focus on movies about board games. People really seem to respond to those.”

Yea, I can see where it would bother some people. I just do a lot of zooming in and out.

To be fair, Brad Pitt wasn't always Brad Pitt either. I'm not sure when he became a bona fide draw, but it was the middle part of his career:3/2/01 The Mexican DW $66,845,033 3,162 $20,108,829 2,951 1212/8/00 Snatch SGem $30,328,156 1,444 $27,932 1 2510/15/99 Fight Club Fox $37,030,102 1,966 $11,035,485 1,963 2311/13/98 Meet Joe Black Uni. $44,619,100 2,527 $15,017,995 2,503 1910/10/97 Seven Years in Tibet Sony $37,957,682 2,103 $10,020,378 2,103 223/28/97 The Devil's Own Sony $42,868,348 2,504 $14,274,503 2,504 2110/18/96 Sleepers WB $53,315,285 2,080 $12,305,745 1,915 1812/29/95 12 Monkeys Uni. $57,141,459 1,629 $184,776 3 179/22/95 Seven NL $100,125,643 2,528 $13,949,807 2,441 1012/23/94 Legends of the Fall Sony $66,638,883 2,038 $101,670 6 13So before you bury someone, just know that Brad had a lot of medium hits before he did Ocean's Eleven.

So before you bury someone, just know that Brad had a lot of medium hits before he did Ocean's Eleven.

But did he have two outright bombs this early into his career?

[baumer]

except all those above movies are cult favorites

And that has exactly what to do with being a box office draw?

[YoursTruly]

Avengers more than doubled Battleship. :lol:That TA estimate seems a bit low. Don't see it dropping 33% on Sunday.
