Universal's pretty pissed at Berg right now, I bet. Wouldn't surprise me if they stopped production on that.

[ZattMurdock]

Kitsch isn't in Lone Ranger, is he?

He better not. I want to like Lone Ranger.

They should be equally pissed at themselves. The entire concept of Battleship sounded like a disaster from day one.

With so many awesome kid stuff to adapt like Thundercats, they go with Battleship instead. Completely agree with this.

[AniNate]

Could've been worse. They axed that big-budget Ouija movie directed by McG.

[MovieMan89]

Oh dear lord, Kitsch is Lone Ranger!? Nooo! If that's true, we can kiss its success chances goodbye right now!

[AniNate]

He's not. It was just title confusion.

Is The Avengers 3rd weekend really gonna be around $55m? Why were people predicting $60m+?

Thundercats is a no brainer.Take the nostalgia factor of Transformers and add the cat people of Avatar.Seems like easy money to me.It reminds me how most studios passed on doing a Transformers move because they didn't see the blockbuster potential.

Not set in stone yet. If it has a $29m sat and a $18m sun could still make $60m.

[HeyItsMoses]

But why would it increase that high? That most I see it increasing is around 55%

[lilmac]

Has anyone actually seen Battleship? Based on the review thread it sounds like it is pretty good.

[ZattMurdock]

My bet is that this is more of a family movie, with people going more in the weekends than the weekdays, i could be wrong, and I'm probably wrong, but... who knows?

[lilmac]

This is him in the upcoming movie Alex Cross

Oh my! That pic may give me nightmares

[lilmac]

Well, I don't know about "better" ... but I'd probably watch John Carter again before I watch Battleship again.

Well, I guess that answered my question as to the quality of BS.

All it needs for 60M weekend is a 26M Saturday followed by 19M Sunday.

[rockNrollaDIM]

Alex Cross? I thought he was a cop... James Pattinson...

[ZattMurdock]

All it needs for 60M weekend is a 26M Saturday followed by 19M Sunday.

And that's completely achievable in my book.

[Deep Wang]

And that's completely achievable in my book.

Of course it is.
