razazteca Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 The teens seem to like that Honey movie.
Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 Elf making 140mil is just amazing, and I'm pretty happy to see that Love, Actually should get 50mil beofre disapearring
Guest Ghettoman Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 Elf surpasses Revolutions, good.
Mole Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 I think it was Thriller who called that on Honey, well done.
Guest Sturgis Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 But why is Honey #2 though? Alba's acting is horriblem, hell she's on par with J.Ho in acting ability and talent.
Guest Retro Rob Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 But why is Honey #2 though? Alba's acting is horriblem, hell she's on par with J.Ho in acting ability and talent. Mekhi Phifer (sp?) is a damn good actor, IMO, and he is the leading male.
the pinjockey Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 It probably didn't hurt that there really isn't much else for the teen demo to go see right now. Most other stuff is to adult or R (Samurai, Bad Santa, The Missing) or too kiddie (CitH, Elf [try convincing a 14-17 year old boy to go see Elf]). I think Honey was just in the right place at the right time.
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Posted December 7, 2003 Report Posted December 7, 2003 Still think i'm on Crack ? Next Week: "Something's Gotta Give" (Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton, Keanu Reeves) "Stuck On You" (Matt Damon, Greg Kinnear) "Love Don't Cost A Thing" (Nick Cannon, Christina Milian) Top 5: 1. Something's Gotta Give 2. Stuck On You 3. The Last Samurai 4. Love Don't Cost A Thing 5. Honey Mekhi Phifer (sp?) is a damn good actor, IMO, and he is the leading male. Agreed.

MrRant Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 Hasn't the Honey movie been done to death? Haven't there been at least one interracial dance movie a year or so? Wasn't O and Save The Last Dance the same thing?
Guest Choken One Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 O? U are a god damn idiot. O was NOTHING about Interacial Dancing. "O" was a modern adapation of Othello. Peifer played "O", the star basketball player for a predominatly white private school and dated the Dean's Daughter and His best friend was the coach's Son whom was the "captain" of the team. The friend, jealous that "O" was getting all the love when he wasn't even reconizged by his teammates as the leader went crazy and hell bent on destroying everyone's life. It was a all right teen movie with serious "tones"... NOT A FUCKING DANCE MOVIE.
Nevermortal Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 The teens seem to like that Honey movie. Shit, I like that Honey movie too. But I don't think I want to see it in the theater, I'll wait until the DVD. I need privacy. I'll stop talking now.

Wasn't O and Save The Last Dance the same thing? No, but they both had Julia Stiles in it, who hasn't done much since, I guess date porn rule about doing interracial also applies to movies too. And Choken One I think you went a little too hard on him, he just assumed because they had the same actress.

Wasn't O and Save The Last Dance the same thing? Its the only movie Mekhi Phifer can draw with.....he also brings in the profits. I think Phifer has been in 4 movies of this type.
Damaramu Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 Well now...at least Last Samurai was one. I would weep for America if Honey was #1.
The Dames Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 O? U are a god damn idiot. O was NOTHING about Interacial Dancing. "O" was a modern adapation of Othello.

There was that little 8 Mile movie...though he was in no way the draw..but it made him a bigger star, and don't forget he's the only worthwhile person on that shitty E.R show.
Mecha Mummy Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 One out of ten, and that was the obvious one, Last Samurai at #1. Oh, well, here's my top ten for next week... 1. Something's Gotta Give 2. Stuck on You 3. The Last Samurai 4. Love Don't Cost a Thing 5. Elf 6. Haunted Mansion 7. Honey 8. Cat in the Hat 9. Bad Santa 10. Gothika
Guest El Satanico Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 No, Honey isn't like Save The Last Dance or O. Honey isn't about a midwestern white girl moving to the big city and learns "life lessons" from a street smart black guy, ala Save The Last Dance. As already mentioned O had nothing to do with dancing. Why the hell are we even discussing this?
Guest Choken One Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 Something Gotta give has no Draw power... Jack might be the big name but his movies rarely these days open at #1. Anger Management had Adam Sandler whom is often *always* BIG on opening day. About Schmidt which had a similar approach (Jack with Older woman) that didn't do anything. The Pledge? Jack does Indy doesn't draw. As good as it gets? Well yeah that was a hit that was CRAMMED with huge stars (Hunt, Kinnear, Gooding etc) However, there are no clear cut #1...since the other new movies Stuck on You and Love don't cost a thing doesn't have that #1 look. SOY likely looks stupid to a good chunk of the country and deservingly so...but it DOES has Matt Damon and he never does any wrong. LDCAT is a rewrite of the 1988 movie "Can't buy me love"...It has steve harvey which means INSTANT coolness but that won't draw... The other movies been out for a while...So expect a tight not so big weekend here... 1. The Last Samurai 2. Stuck on You 3. Something's gotta give 4. Elf 5. Love don't cost a thing 6. Honey 7. Bad Santa 8. Haunted Mansion 9. Love Actually 10. Gothika Yes, CITH falls out.
SamoaRowe Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 I'm going to be cynical and make a prediction: Next week... 1) Love Don't Cost A Thing 2) The Last Samuria 3) Something's Gotta Give 4) Stuck On You 5) Elf
razazteca Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 1) Love Don't Cost A Thing A remake of a Patrick Dempsey movie going to be #1 that is one scarey thought. It shall be #3 if that high.
Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 LDCAT is a rewrite of the 1988 movie "Can't buy me love"...It has steve harvey which means INSTANT coolness but that won't draw... People will see this due to Nick Cannon being in the starring role. It's funny because "Drumline" opened up during the same weekend last year. He wasn't really known back than, nor was the entire cast (Minus Orlando Jones, who isn't a big draw himself) It was a good movie, critics loved it, and it ended up making $55 Million on a $20 Million budget. So... hey, you never know.
Lil' Bitch Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 Can't wait to see LDCAT. It also has Melissa Schuman formerly of DREAM in it.
Guest Retro Rob Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 and don't forget he's the only worthwhile person on that shitty E.R show. Do you have a death wish or something? Saying THAT in a thread in which I posted in. Mekhi's "Dr. Pratt" is one of my favorite current characters, but the show is far from shitty. It has really turned around since the horrible seasons 6-8, and sub-par season 9.
SamoaRowe Posted December 8, 2003 Report Posted December 8, 2003 1) Love Don't Cost A Thing A remake of a Patrick Dempsey movie going to be #1 that is one scarey thought. It shall be #3 if that high. Well, it seems like the type of annoying bad movie that will do really well for the sole reason of spiting me. That's why I believe it to be a good pick for number one next week.
