    - yeah, I have less than seven for EM. I want to say just over 5. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:50
  - I think the fact that the female lead is barely showcased in the trailers alienates women who might otherwise be drawn to it. - amanchester Jan 18, 21:48 3
    - There is no female lead. -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 21:50 2

    - and probably only cuz oprah pushed it -- nm - 'lia Jan 18, 21:48 3
      - oprah pushes rarely if ever have an impact on b.o. -- nm - b! Jan 18, 21:51 2
        
        this is interesting to me. what else has she pushed? I would think she could impact since she impacts book sales BUT - amanchester Jan 18, 21:52 1

    - Does winning a few Golden Globes bump a movie like the Oscars do? -- nm - Redmond Jan 18, 21:23 1
      - Ratings for the Globes themselves were up 14%. Part of that is probably NBC, part Ricky, part Avatar, etc... -- (link) - Qale Jan 18, 21:30
    - I thought Avvie would lose momentum about two weeks ago. I said, I predict a tide turning. I can say now, emphatically I'm wrong. - Qale Jan 18, 21:20 6

        All the way as in beating Titanic, getting her the pee stick, and sticking around to marry her afterwards. -- nm - Qale Jan 18, 21:22
        
        isn't that a given? -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:22 3
        
        Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 21:24
        
        it could have been 'all the way' (spoilers) - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 21:23 1
        
        (spoiler) - Qale Jan 18, 21:24
- The movie was filmed in Portland and I don't even care. -- nm - Redmond Jan 18, 21:14 25
  - You aren't the target audience. -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:29 24
    - Nobody is the target audience -- nm - Redmond Jan 18, 21:32 23
      - wrong, it is going to be a cry fest -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:35 22
        
        I didn't cry, and I cried 7 times during My Sister's Keeper. -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 21:39 3
        
        7 times??? -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:41 2
        
        Yes. Now that's a tearjerker. -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 21:44 1
        
        (even I almost cried once at my sister's keeper.) -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:45
        
        so was titanic. so was beaches. so the people who saw titanic will flock to this? -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:38 4
        
        I never promised blockbuster -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:40 3
        
        ok. just that old people will flock to it? that's all you're saying? they're a huge demographic. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:42 2
        
        To old people, "flock" is like 10 people. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 21:43 1
        
        perhaps I should stop listening to my mom -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:45
        
        How much do you think it makes opening weekend? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 21:36 11
        
        thats not the point -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:38 7
        
        it is the point of Qale's original post. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 21:41
        
        weren't we discussing its box office prospects opening weekend? so how is box office not the point? -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:39 5
        
        no he was talking about "giving it screens" -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:42 4
        
        it is strongly inferrable that he was talking about PSA. so box office was the point. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:44 3
        
        oh for a minute there I thought he got a job as a theater manager -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:46 2
        
        but he *does* kind of. and that's the point. how is that not related to box office? again, it's PSA. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:49 1
        
        it IS...sigh -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:51
        
        just shut up and trust her -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 21:37 2

  - Do old people go to opening weekends? -- nm - Qale Jan 18, 21:15
  - ols people won't even want to see it -- nm - Redmond Jan 18, 21:14 5
    - I know 10 elderly people seeing it this weekend at one theater -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:15 4
      - yeah, I would guess that they're not the norm. this movie is going to tank. tank. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:16
      - maybe they need the cure too -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 21:15 2
        
        Spoilers about the cure - Dano Jan 18, 21:17 1

        oh yah, he had some good stuff. I liked him some. and then he changed/got greedy/lost his mind. -- nm - b! Jan 18, 20:55 1
        
        in terms of fame and money, he's hugely successful. In terms of art he's horrible. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:57
        
        oh yeah, he's actually quite a good painter. He paints sentimental shit by choice. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:55 15
        
        my mom has a whole plate collection of his working, but her Rockafeller plate is worth more. -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 20:57 9
        
        Right about now. The funk soul brother. -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 21:10
        
        do you mean rockwell? or am I missing a plater in my mind? -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 21:01 7
        
        yeah she is Kinkade and Rockwell sorry -- nm - Stacy Jan 18, 21:02 3
        
        there's a reason why Rockwell is worth more. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 21:09 2
        
        he was awesome. and amazingly prolific. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 21:10 1
        
        prolific actually brings the value down, but yes he was awesome. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 21:16
        
        I assume she means Kinkade. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 21:02 2
