Posted by David (aka David) Jan 12 '10, 09:52

People who read my 12 Days of Box Office column know the answer, so I would request that you refrain from commenting.

Bowfinger? -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:02
Chaplin -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 10:01
Soapdish! -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:00 2
- Ignoring the correct answer (where he's the son's friend), this was correct at one point. - David Jan 12, 10:08
- I need to rewatch this -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 10:02
Zodiac -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:56
I will guess Air America. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:55
Weird Science? -- nm - landbeck Jan 12, 09:55
Guess: Something that earned more than Serenity. -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 09:54 16
- Actually, ignoring this film, it took him 12 tries to have a title beat Serenity's domestic take. - David Jan 12, 09:59 14
  - This is inherently why they are not compable. -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 10:12
  - Body of work makes a difference. As in RDJ has one. - Reagen Jan 12, 10:02 12
    - See below. - David Jan 12, 10:05 10
      - You know me better than this. - Reagen Jan 12, 10:11 4
        
        Which is to say, Fillion has the talent to carry off that kind of role but no where near the exposure to open it. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:12 3
        
        Michael Keaton as Batman? Oh hell no! Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man? What's a Tobey Maguire? - David Jan 12, 10:17 1
        
        again, movies vs. TV. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:28
        
        And this is entirely the point. -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 10:13
      - I love the way you state that first half of the IM's first sentence. Love, love, love it. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 10:07 4
        
        (And I mean it, too.) -- nm - David Jan 12, 10:09 3
        
        It wouldn't be David, if you didn't. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 10:12 2
        
        The best part is that everyone is looking at his early resume now going "Oh." -- nm - David Jan 12, 10:13 1
        
        wrong again. -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 10:15
    - He'll just pull some more junk out of his butt, attach it to his brain and make another ridic comparison. - Diva Jan 12, 10:04
- This is easily my favorite non-baseball grudge match, in the last year. (nm) - musubi Jan 12, 09:56
The one with Michael Douglas as a professor/author? -- nm - Loyola Jan 12, 09:54 2
- Wonder Boys was woefully unappreciated imo. -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 09:55 1
  - Yeah, pretty solid film. -- nm - Loyola Jan 12, 09:55
US Marshals where he was a semi-lead? - Will Hunting Jan 12, 09:54
I have no clue. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 12, 09:54 1
- Weird Science? nm -- nm - groiny Jan 12, 09:54
Shaggy Dog or Natural Born Killers. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 09:54 1
- Or Air America. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 09:56
US Marshalls? -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 09:54
Back to School? -- nm - Inigo Jan 12, 09:54 3
- Back to School is correct. Eag and you are correct. - David Jan 12, 10:04 1
  - Yeah, hollywood tried to make him a star in the late 80s/early 90s, it just didn't work out that way. -- nm - Inigo Jan 12, 10:05
- Unless there are some other qualifiers David isn't mentioning, Back to School is right at $91.25 million. -- nm - Inigo Jan 12, 10:02
tropic thunder? -- nm - Capstern Jan 12, 09:54 1
- that was post-ironman -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:54
Back To School -- nm - eag Jan 12, 09:54
I will guess Zero. -- nm - loosilu Jan 12, 09:53
