The NFL and MLB are killing Sunday's right now.

The Yankees are killing me.

Argo has a ton of F bombs, so the rating at least as defined by the MPAA is deserved

But the MPAA still believes in 2012 they are protecting the ears of children from F Bombs by giving an R to movies like ARGO ?My God, they are so out of touch with reality.

I knew what the f bomb was by the age of 10, I don't think language is a good enough reason to give an R rating, maybe graphic sex talk like in some of Apatow's movies, but TKS getting an R rating for 10 f bombs is ridiculous

Atrocious for Perks.

Noctis, if it makes you feel any better I'll be watching Perks within the next 10 days or so. I went to the movies twice this weekend (Argo and Looper) but didn't catch Perks because both times I went and tried to sell it to the person I was with, they said said no So Perks will have to be a solo trip.

Plus NBA season is starting up. But yeah it's the LCS and football that are bad for the box office. I haven't seen a movie on Sunday for a while. Drops seem to be around the same as last year, maybe a little higher, so it doesn't look like its much of a surprise.

Especially the NFL. I wouldn't dare go to a movie on Sundays for the next couple of months. Can't miss my Sunday football. Sorry box office.

The MPAA is probably filled with a bunch of guys who look like the two old men from the Muppets.

I'll go with you!

[Letsuseournoggin]

I'll go with you!

Can you believe my gf was like.. "ehh, not this one". Pfft, eff you too then JK I love her to death because she puts up with my nerd movie loving but she wanted to sit this one out and I can't for the life of me figure out why. It looks like a stand up film. She preferred to go catch Looper, so I guess I can't argue there. But something tells me she wanted to go see it more for JGL than the actual film, itself.

@ERCboxoffice

Fox's TAKEN 2 is the #1 movie in America...again--$21,873,127. Total is now $86.1M.

[baumer]

That's a 700K drop. Sunday was over estimated big time.

[John Marston]

All films will drop probably

[baumer]

All films will drop probably

They did. Rth already posted that most films fell close to 50% on Sunday. Edited October 15, 2012 by Halloween baumer
