Just Friends moved up a spot? Damn, I haven't seen any ads for it in a while. Maybe Ryan Renolds can make some boxoffice bank afterall.

 

No big shockers this week. But Narnia comes out next week to bury the competition

I didn't know Aeon Flux was coming out THIS weekend. *shrugs*

 

I was hoping that it would be a major success so they could make some other 90s MTV shows into movies *Crosses fingers and hopes for Sifl & Olly: The Movie*

As long as we get a plethora of Precious Roy skits.

 

SUCKER!!!!

I saw Rent, liked it better than I thought I would. I expected it to get more repeat business though

Guess it made all it was going to make opening weekend. Sad really, really sad. Course I think the problem is the movie came out a couple of years too late. Had the film came out at the height of the RENT crazy, it would have been huge.

 

Well that and better advertising.

If you like the old shows at all, the last thing you want is for it to get the Aeon Flux treatment. The movie flat out sucked. I am not one for the "what the hell? used a different gun in the show" type complaining, but it should have at least had the same style, energy, and basic character traits. This movie was more along the lines of some exec saying, "Hey, we have a shitty sci-fi action movie, lets paste the Aeon Flux characters and places names on it and see if that gets us some business."

[Guest JMA]

As a fan of the original show I'll be avoiding the live-action Aeon Flux. The movie's also gotten some of the worst reviews since CINO. There needs to be a rule against Oscar winners being in shitty action movies.

 

Hopefully I can see Walk the Line and The Goblet of Fire soon.

I went to see Corpse Bride, Fantastic 4 and Top Gun (yes, Top Gun) at the early preview of our new Regal Cinemas Stadium 16 for $1 each this week.

 

OOH! High backed reclining stadium styled (ie each row of seats is elevated higher than the one in front more than normal like at a baseball stadium) seats and state of the art digital sound (which the old 10 screen theatre had already anyway). The biggest improvement is now they have 7 places to sell concessions instead of just 1...ok..yeehaw.

 

Still doesnt mask the fact that a ticket now costs $10 (as opposed to $6 at the old theatre at the same mall). HA! Im not going to see King Kong now, screw that.

Chances are that's likely what happened.

Nice to hear the company I work for seems to insist on having seven concession stands at their new theaters when the refuse to allow us to spend the payroll to keep even the one at the theater I manage adequatly staffed.

I was wondering about Æon Flux, but then I saw MTV Productions on the credits and I knew it was going to bomb.

Narnia will knock off GoF this weekend.

 

 

Has anyone seen Sarah Silverman's "Jesus is Magic"? I want to see it, but want a recommendation or two before hitting the art house.

[the max 0]

Narnia looks queer. I read that book years ago and couldn't imagine sitting through a movie of it.

[Mole 0]

GOF is doing better than all of the other Potter movies after 17 days.

[bob_barron 0]

But it's not holding up as well as the first one.

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

They are pretty close though.

[2GOLD 0]

Did the first one face any competition? Cause this one has been assaulted by nothing but shitty movies or Oscar contender movies that had no chance of touching it anyway.

 

I don't remember some of the movies that came out around this time.

And I can see CoN pulling a Lemony, doing just average and barely getting back to even.

Yea, but it probably won't go near it's 317 mil. I hope it at least can come close to or pass Chamber

Yeah, but's total is higher than all three.

 

Stone: $219,670,289

Chamber: $200,159,012

Azkaban: $190,925,253

Goblet: $229,266,716

[bob_barron 0]

You missed my point earlier. It's declining faster then Sorcerer's Stone and will not reach it.

 

It's hard to compare it to Chamber, since Thanksgiving was its third weekend.

[Mole 0]

Yeah it is declining, but Chamber didn't gross that much that quickly.

 

You see what I'm saying?

I haven't seen it, but I imagine it'd be the same thing as any comedian movie: Listen to some of her shtick, if you like it, go ahead and watch it, otherwise skip it.
