RichWS Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I figured the ZDT number would be big. My theater was pretty damn full for a morning show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 LOLI see no sign of great legs so far. This flick is frontloaded. 4x multiplier from OW (excluding midnights) seems like best case right now.You must be mistaking me for someone who wants it to do well. I didn't like the idea of the film at all and I liked the film even less. I'm just saying that the holidays will almost certainly get it past 250.

ecstasy Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Shiiiiit, 22% gave ZDT a 1/10 on IMDB. Who are these people? LOL a political military movie? Could be any extremist nut job or could be some completely sane person that doesn't like U.S. tactics or could be Osama loyalists. In other words could be anybody with an agenda. Could be Cameron fans pissed off at Bigelow for winning best picture with THL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because QT lost writing as well as eevrything else to THL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLK Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 ZDT is a controversial movie for many reasons and maybe I will be proven wrong eventually but I don't think it is an Oscars frontrunner for the same reasons.Secondly, movies about Iraq,Afghanistan and Al-Qaeda never get good ratings from the audience. It will probably finish with an okayish 7.5 on IMDB after.all the trolling has been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I still think its gonna be Argo taking the Oscars. There are rumors that Affleck is going to run for senate. One of the trade mags (Variety or THR) reported that he just dropped out of some movie that was going to start shooting in April/May right when the special elections are likely to be held. If this is true, consider him the new front-runner for Best Director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true, consider him the new front-runner for Best Director.he wanted to go into politics for quite some time. I remember the chatter last year or before that. So it definitely isn`t an Oscar win-booster thing like Chastain`s nude photospread. Edited December 20, 2012 by fishnets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Here is the politico article where he didn't answer the question http://www.politico.com/blogs/click/2012/12/ben-affleck-mum-on-senate-run-152441.html Ben Affleck mum on Senate run Actor Ben Affleck is refusing to comment on reports that he’s being touted as a possible senatorial candidate in Massachusetts. In Washington to raise awareness about the violence plaguing Congo, Affleck was also scheduled to meet Wednesday with other lawmakers, including Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), who is widely believed to be replacing Hillary Clinton as secretary of state, which would open a special election for a Senate seat in Massachusetts. “That’s not what I’m here to talk about,” Affleck told POLITICO. “I’m here to talk about what role we can play in making the Eastern Congo a better place.” Earlier this week, reports surfaced that he was being touted as a potential candidate for Senate in Massachusetts. Affleck campaigned for Sen.-elect Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in her race against freshman Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) in November. There is also speculation that Brown would be interested in running again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLK Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) Huh? Ridiculous.He is already in a pretty strong position. Look up all the actors who have won Best Director in the past. SAG and WGA has a pretty strong presence in AMPAS and they love their actors/writers nominated for this award.
