lilpunkryo Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) I don't understand how Bettman still has his job. That's what, three lockouts under him? And I have very little patience for this when at the end of the day, the players + all the other higher ups will still walk away with millions but the people who work at the bottom of the ladder get screwed over because they can't work for months.

Hatebox Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I could and probably will be horribly wrong, but I have this sickening feeling that ZDT will open to 30.Didn't you say you were looking forward to ZDT, or did I imagine that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmnerdjamie Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) What also helps Zero Dark Thirty? The goodwill from The Hurt Locker. No, it didn't do good box-office. But the home video sales were quite strong. Edited January 5, 2013 by filmnerdjamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopher Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Imagined. I am adamantly against the film. But I will see it, so in a way I am looking forward to see how they handle everything.I think the film will be far more of a deep criticism of all of this than you expect. You may be pleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keysersoze123 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Interesting that Xia thinks ZDT will open between 25-30M. That should be enough to win the weekend comfortably. Baumer's worst nightmare will come true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moviedweeb Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 SLP should be having a run like Lincoln right now. Instead, it is going to finish with about 70 mill if all the stars align properly. Such a dumb dumb dumb way to handle SLP. Shame on them and LG for fucking up Perks as well. This is purely speculative but I think they are actually handling SLP very well lol. If this was marketed with a huge NFL angle, you might get a lot of sports fans in seats on opening weekend but they may spread awful WOM since the film is not exactly a football movie. On the other hand, these people might be willing to see the movie after hearing good WOM from people not focused on the sports-angle and then, it being sports related might help push them over the fence: "hey, I hear this is a good flick, and it has to do with football" as opposed to "I just saw the new football movie which sucked because it was all about depression and personal relationships" If the film was marketed with the NFL as a huge component I think people would see through it–the trick can only last for so long. I think the way the "fat men" are playing it will ultimately result in a bigger gross. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The more ZDT makes the better. 20 years after Point Break, it's about damn time Kathryn Bigelow directed another hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
