I was thinking of early on, for which there was unquestioned surprise success.

I will not, however, be giving any support for arguments that a blockbuster needs more wom than other films do. there's no comparison for something like "inception" and, say, something like "crouching tiger, hidden dragon" or "my big fat greek wedding."

also, there are blockbuster potential movies that badly fail. c'est la vie.

Not quite. It'll be a blockbuster because of WOM. -- nm - the liioulu with sore foot Jul 18, 14:55 5
- I think there's more to the BB thing -- big budget, big star, director coming off a big success, summer release, and, as in this case, growth - b! Jul 18, 14:59
- It could have the worst WOM ever and still crack blockbuster (100m) status. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 14:56 3
  - I'm talking bigger than that, with steady numbers for a lot longer than three weeks. -- nm - the liioulu with sore foot Jul 18, 14:58 2
    - If it's moderately recieved, it's a 175mil movie. It'll be an unquestioned success - Will Hunting Jul 18, 15:01 1
      - I think maybe she's thinking plot/contents vs. something like "charlie's angels" or the like. -- nm - b! Jul 18, 15:04
