To people arguing about Les Miz:

Why so serious?

[Dementeleus]

Even the fact that this dude has engaged me in this "argument" is silly. I have not bashed the film or called it crap. I have not said that it flopped. I have only mentioned that it's not the smash blockbuster that Mizheads predicted it would be, ...

With an end target of $150-170m, I'd say it's definitely a smash blockbuster for its genre.

Even the fact that this dude has engaged me in this "argument" is silly. I have not bashed the film or called it crap. I have not said that it flopped. I have only mentioned that it's not the smash blockbuster that Mizheads predicted it would be, and it's too early to determine whether non-Mizheads love it. WOM is still undetermined among mainstream audiences.

Wait, since when were people calling this a blockbuster? It's a big hit, you could even say it's huge compared with what many analysts were saying it'd do, and what musicals have traditionally done but it's not a blockbuster. And is this seriously what we've been arguing about this entire time? If it's a blockbuster? Edited December 28, 2012 by riczhang

Box office forum: it's serious business

This forum is like the street. If you aren't born here, you don't belong here.

Musicals are even more serious.In fact in honour of Les Mis I demand the rest of this argument be done in song.

You can take the man outta the box office forum, but you can't take the box office forum outta the man.

It's more of a medium-low budget huge hit than a blockbuster.

This slap fight actually fits better to the situation.

Just joking, no need to get serious.

[riczhang]

We need Friday numbers

Nobody was predicting 300 million. Stop trying to make Les Mis sound like a disappointment.

Les Mis is a bigger diappointment than The Floppit. Floppit couldn`t make $600 mio, Les Mis can`t make $300 mio. Les Floperables. Edited December 28, 2012 by fishnets
