Oh my god, I can only imagine fish reaction when she sees that...

She said she was going to see Les Mis, not sure why she isn't back yet. She's been gone for like 6 hours now.

Basterds had very good legs, but I think that one was in the line between what people think it is acceptable violence and crazy violence when they go to a movie like that. Django just rapes that line.

Basterds got a 2.24 multiplier off of it's first week. I'm thinking with a mid 40s 6 day that it gets to just over 100 million on roughly the same legs as basterds got.

I've heard that it's a dirty, uncomfortable, gruesome violent (something about a dog eating someone). That plus a zillion n-words, I'm not even sure if I'm going to like it, and I usually love QT. We'll see tomorrow, I think I'm seeing it then.

That just makes me hesitant to go see it now.

I honestly think the high end of these ranges are the low end for what these films (Mis and Django) end up doing at the end of today. The theater was insane for both of these films, particularly Les Mis, which had the most business I've seen since TDKR. Both have sold out all remaining shows for the night.

[CJohn]

That just makes me hesitant to go see it now.

I have to say that after hearing about the extreme violence of it my anticipation dropped greatly. For that and for ZDT because of the Saw-like torture scenes. I hate Saw. Edited December 26, 2012 by CJohn

We've had 9 sell outs in Pre-sales and a lot of shows apparently are close to full or have gotten sold-out with walkups.

I think that ZDT won't be that much of a problem because it is so clinical. Django on the other hands seems to be bordering on tasteless.

[Jack Nevada]

*sigh* I guess all good things have to come to an end

Yeah, you are likely right. Django violence is just crazy. WOM won't be very good and it isn't definitly the right movie to see on Christmas Day with your family. This isn't True Grit.

We may be safe from being banned, tho

[Dragon]

Come on Django snatch Les mes wigwell i can dream okay

[MovieMan89]

I knew Les Mis was gonna be huge, but shit that's almost Sherlock Holmes numbers! Also about double what I expected for Django today. I can't even talk about The Hobbit's performance anymore if those numbers are right. I mean seriously, W.T.F.?

[riczhang]

Yeah, you are likely right. Django violence is just crazy. WOM won't be very good and it isn't definitly the right movie to see on Christmas Day with your family. This isn't True Grit.

Shame, I loved True Grit. I don't like Spaghetti Westerns so I never expected myself to like Django, but now my interest in it is dropping like a rock towards zero.

I'm getting that feeling as well. There's something about QT... I know the rationale is "It's slavery, this is how it was, don't pull any punches", but at the same time I have this vibe that he seriously gets off on it. It's not an inviting feeling.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Why wouldn't django have good WOM?

[rockNrollaDIM]

Back on topic I see?

Fuck Tarantino and fuck Django. I dont care if DiCaprio's great in it, but I wont go see the movie

Parental Guidance description from IMDb (they don't say who his on each scene, but the scenes are very well explained with all the details):
