Interesting. I thought this would be the easy call. the buzz pre opening was way higher than anything else. -- nm - MDH Dec 28, 10:27 1
- Not after the way MI3 crashed and burned. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:39
i'm more surprised by Dragon Tattoo's lackluster start -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 28, 10:00 27
- Dragon Tattoo is not a Christmas movie. Most people don't want to see this kind of stuff this time of year. -- nm - sycor Dec 28, 10:21 11
  - I Am Legend made $250 million at Christmas. Black Swan over $100 million. Dark films can do fine at Christmas time if the audience is interested. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:25 9
    - Legend was a zombie flick, BS was loved by critics... - Mel Profit Dec 28, 10:27 8
      - I don't think dark zombie flicks are any more Christmas friendly then murder mysteries. Also, BS was 87% fresh at RT, TGWTDT is 85%. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:34 7
        
        The age old discussion (I like). You're trying to compare movies based on Time of Year and some fairly subjective interpretations regarding mood... - Mel Profit Dec 28, 10:42 6
        
        The funny thing is, I would describe lackluster interest in TGRLW as not wanting to spend 2 hours with Rooney Mara the way they've made her up. It - pmb Dec 28, 10:49 4

        TGWDT had some hot scenes with her riding james bond like a cycle on a rough road -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 28, 11:07
        
        i still gotta rent that shiz. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 10:50 1
        
        yes, yes you do. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 28, 10:58
        
        for the record, Black Swan only made 42 million Dec 5th to Jan 2nd, it took until the end of Feb for it to cross 100 million - crash davis Dec 28, 10:49
  - It's the feel bad movie of Christmas -- nm - oblique Dec 28, 10:22
- I meant to look at those numbers as I'd only heard of it's disappointing opening. - Mel Profit Dec 28, 10:07
- will that kill the sequels? -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 28, 10:06 3
  - It still has a decent chance at $100 million domestically. Overseas will be the deciding factor, imo. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:14
  - no, it's Sony's franchise of the moment -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 28, 10:07 1
    - Is Fincher locked in for all three? -- nm - Reagen Dec 28, 10:32
- That one is a bit under expectations. Tintin and Alvin 3 are bigger disappointments, imo. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:02 6
  - Tintin has pulled in $240 mil overseas. -- nm - Remlik Dec 28, 10:17
  - Tintin is doing fine overseas, which is probably what they expected - jingle pixie Dec 28, 10:06 1
    - It's decent overseas, but nothing special. Below $300 million for a high profile, computer animated film isn't really good anymore. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:08
  - Alvin 3 is *exciting*. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 28, 10:05 2
    - The sequences at the end apparently gave my son nightmares. -- nm - Mop Dec 28, 10:24
    - So true. I hate real chipmunks because of this series. -- nm - Inigo Dec 28, 10:11
- it is kinda dark. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 28, 10:02 2
  - Yeah, but the books are very much so, and they did quite well. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 28, 10:03 1
    - What I'm willing to read in a book and see on the screen in the company of others are two somewhat different things -- nm - oblique Dec 28, 10:19
I know I'm surprised. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 28, 09:58
