Great stuff again Terry, and like others have said....you add so much to the HTF. I love reading the BO threads. You give the facts without spin and I love that. Thanks...and have a GREAT 2007. :)
After just seeing Apocalypto, I can't imagine this being a big hit. Don't get me wrong, I thought it was great....just really different and kind of bizarre. Hope I'm wrong...:)
Awesome news Terry. Awesome. There was some talk or just speculation that PJ would be busy doing other films. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. :D Glad to know this is on our way.... What's weird about some of this discussion is I have quite of few modern or even recent films that would make...
Wow. Some REALLY nice compliments lately. I'm humbled. I mean it's true...but still humbling. :D Thanks. Great stuff Terry on the Superman & Batman projects. I do eagerly await those. Kind of off topic but it goes in line with one of my posts recently about missing the LOTR films...
Thanks Tino! :) BTW, The Devil Wears Prada arrives on dvd December 12. :P ;) :) ... Looking around today at our local cinemas for The Illusionist. Didn't stay around long. Really wanted to see that and looks like I missed my chance. :frowning:
Thanks Malcolm. :) I wish someone would hire me....and pay me for not working. ;) I do understand this prevented Cage from maybe doing other projects but Wow. That's a serious non working check.
Charlotte's Web does look kind of cool. Man does that take me WAY back. I remember reading that when I was ___ years old. :D Hope they can bring to the screen the beauty and sweetness found in the book. :) The Departed is doing GREAT. I'm glad for Scorcese too. It's a very ROUGH film, but a...
Well said Brett, well said. I agree. Thanks Terry for the new Bond info regarding the studio's expectations. I really do remember ALWAYS being there opening day for Bond. Always. At least from 1977 thru 1999's The World Is Not Enough...I did actually go to the midnight showing of Die...
TerryRL, have you heard what the studio's expectations are for Casino Royale? What about folks like you who analyze these things? :) They had a cool teaser before The Prestige. I have been a big doubter of Casino Royale. Grew up a BIG Bond fan ( I could but won't tell some funny stories...
Well, Adam, it seems you might be stretching it a bit there with that. :) Like I said, I know each of us spins these things. I have before too. But I just don't like the double standard we're attaching to Superman Returns. Yeah, I loved the film and wanted it to succeed. But I also LOVED...
We can say that all these films have made their very last final $$ on it's "dying death"...That doesn't or shouldn't be used against them. Sith, only during it's final "dying days" surpassed Return of the King. Does that in any way in-validate (is that a word :D)...Star Wars box office take? No...
Wow. 1.7 million for Flyboys. :eek: It deserves better but I know the box office can be brutal for alot of good films. Still, I thought it might do a little better. Maybe High School Friday night football got in the way ;)
You're right Chuck. Depp won over many people...even those who really don't like him...as Captain Jack. His character portrays slyness, mischef, arrogance, good character when it counts, bravery, fondness of Rum :D, and oodles and oodles of charm. In addition he's got that good looking screen...
I had only heard of it because my oldest daughter said, "Dad that hot guy from She's The Man is in this new movie, called "Step Up"...and we have to see it!....oh my God he's so hot"......:crazy: Life with girls, what's a Dad to do? :)
Thanks Terry. :) Yes, Dick & Jane grew on me too, along with the box office. I liked it ok, saw it again and liked it much more. Seen it several times on dvd. Not near as good as Bruce Almighty which I believe to be Carrey's best by a long mile but still pretty good. Tea Leoni really helped sell...
Agree Chris. Seems like most new films drop pretty big after their opening weekend. MV most likely will too. Pirates has been out for awhile but could hold more of it's audience than Vice this week.
:laugh: You know the box office is sometimes strange. But maybe I misjudged the quality of Pirates 2? I did see it at Midnight and was kind of tired and we literally just watched Black Pearl that evening on a 120 inch screen with incredible sound. Pirates 1 was so good that I had very high...
