Partly because of how I want to see it. But I can't let that bias me.

It just seems like a possible sleeper hit

Indeed, District 9 may yet be another case of geek blinders. Or it could be Blair Witch. -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 08:53
I'm less confident than I was, but there's no hook other than wom -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 08:47
the word of mouth is great, i am thinking definite sleeper hit -- nm - GWAA Aug 14, 08:47 10
- That's sometimes reflects in legs more than opening weekend though. - ty97 Aug 14, 08:49 9
  - almost always in legs. See: that movie that I can't remember right now that had awesome legs. - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:50 8
    - Both of those had strong openings AND good legs. -- nm - ty97 Aug 14, 08:51 7
      - Yes, this is true. Hrm. My memory is always hazy, worse at the moment, so I can't think of a better example. - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:54 5

        Ah, true. There's gotta be a far more recent example, though. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:58 3

        though it's hard to call a $40M opening weekend 'weak' :) -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 09:00
        
        (And ... i would *so* watch a Big Fat Greek Wedding/District 9 double-header) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 08:58
      - lol yeah :) -- nm - GWAA Aug 14, 08:52
The ads do nothing for me; no stars, no nothing...i'm thinking 25mil. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 14, 08:45 1
- The trailer won me over in theatres several months back. Very innovative. Not sure how effective the tv spots are though. - ty97 Aug 14, 08:47
