[Jandrew]

Another question, do you think we'll ever see an R rated movie released on a non holiday, increase from Friday to Saturday?

[Kevin Bacon]

Passion of the Christ 2, with Mel Gibson playing God (both literally and figuratively).

Maybe PARADISE LOST but WB scrapped it.

[Neo]

Maybe PARADISE LOST but WB scrapped it.

Maybe AtMoM if Del Toro ever makes it.

[fishstick]

50 Shades of Grey or sequels.

[pinocchio]

Of course an R-rated flick will make 1 billion in the future. In ten years or so we will have dozens of flicks that made one billion thanks to general inflation and ticket price inflation. And if the US dollar tanks you can expect even bigger numbers. Yippie. One of those flicks will surely be R-rated I guess.

50 Shades of Grey or sequels.

I actually flipped through a few pages of 50 Shades of Grey in a bookstore. It was horrible! If they make the movie, it would be the Last Tango in Paris of our time, controversy wise

[Bitcher]

What did you expect? It's basically porn for chicks. Next time a woman accuses the male kind of being sex obsessed perverts in my presence I'll just wave this book's sales figures in her face.

Hey Jack, great Porco Rosso avatar.

Hey Jack, great Porco Rosso avatar.

Thanks. Love that movie.

The 10 Commandments!

50 Shades of Grey or sequels.

Is this an universal thing or just US market?

I'm telling you folks it's going to take Matrix 4 3D released in July (2015 or 16) to do it:

This X 1000000

[Neo]

Would it get a release of pre-Memorial 2015 2 weeks after TA2? Tough competition. Also F7 that month, maybe. Thinking July 17 like the poster.

Well Neo They got "Jupiter Ascending" next and I think they could do it after that. But it's up to Keanu, Let him have a few more flops, he will eventually, Like Stallone with Rocky/Rambo, Harrison with Indy and Bruce with Mclaine, he will come back to the character that made him an worldwide actor. Also in keeping with the "R" in the title:

THE MATRIX: REBIRTH OF THE ONE

THE MATRIX: REBOOT

THE MATRIX: REJUVENATION

THE MATRIX: RECALIBRATED

THE MATRIX: RECOVERY (Saving Neo)

THE MATRIX: RESURRECTION (But Alien already used it)

THE MATRIX: REACTIVE

THE MATRIX: REASCEND

You get the point, lol.

I think July is better but May is still good. Obviously July 17 is TDK, Inception & TDK Rises so Warner has already had a lot of success with that date. Edited July 5, 2012 by filmscholar

. Also in keeping with the "R" in the title:

THE MATRIX: REBIRTH OF THE ONE (cool but long)

THE MATRIX: REBOOT (nice one, ballsy...and quite meta!)

THE MATRIX: REJUVENATION (too oil/ cosmetic / beauty thing)

THE MATRIX: RECALIBRATED (great!)

THE MATRIX: RECOVERY (Saving Neo) (sounds too "franchise need success")

THE MATRIX: RESURRECTION (But Alien already used it) (why not!)

THE MATRIX: REACTIVE (minimal & cool!)

THE MATRIX: REASCEND (sounds religious, why not)

You get the point, lol. (The Matrix: Returning)
