GuardianDevil Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) I still haven't seen this. I'll probably make it a point to buy a ticket on the day it's supposed to hit 100 million. It still has 8 daily showings in my town. Edited March 28, 2017 by GuardianDevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatebox Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Despite everything, this can probably be chalked up as a very minor win for Lawrence's career. Few others would have helped it do better. Jury's still out on Pratt in a non-franchise vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost a major win for her Despite controversy and poor reviews, JLaw stardom helped this to reach solid DOM/OS milestones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) I think the concept of the film and the winter Holidays were a much bigger factor then JLAW. If this came out now it likely would have bombed. Edited March 28, 2017 by Lordmandeep 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this came out now it likely would have bombed. It always a bit hard to really isolate factors, the excellent release date and release (screen's worldwide) was because of the star power of the cast. But many winter Holidays failed (in part why Passengers achieved to not flop), not having a Life release (date, world screen, media attention) is certainly a big part of it, but where does the star power begins and ends is not easy to trace. Will Smith last 2 holidays release didn't do as well nor did Assassin Creed and many other, but I don't think it is necessarily possible to put a number on individual number, having the studio exit poll can help, but even people don't know exactly why they bought a ticket exactly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was only playing Saturday in most theater I think, they are simply using the same number of theater of the weekend for every individual day it look like.

The Futurist Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I want to see Jlaw in an R Rated comedy where she says fuck as much as Leo in Wolf of Wall Street. She says fuck like no other, it s like music to me. In real life, she actually swears like a sailor so it s natural to her. She would probably make Seth Rogen blush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why these 'star power' discussions never convince anyone of anything they didn't believe going into the discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true.....her use of the word FUCKER in SLP was one of the reasons I enjoyed it so much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
