Guest NYankees Report post Posted May 14, 2006 I read that MI 3 has made over 200 million worldwide and that Poseidon cost 150 million to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 Poor Lohan lost her body and she may have lost her drawing power. She was in the only couples movie in theaters and could only manage 5 million. Granted it may also just be a case of a movie looking really BAD. Poseidon may have also suffered from in a lot of the previews, you had no CLUE who was starring in it. It was like, "hey look, a boat flips and that guy from Homicide says things!" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NYankees Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Poseidon is also a remake. Plus wasn't there a tv Poseidon last year? Lohan has lost all drawing power. I didn't even see this movie promoted and forgot that it came out this weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Did we really need another Poseidon Adventure film? It wasn't like they had a lot of room to play around with the original story, as it was pretty much non-existant in the first place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Besides Lohan's body and her hair I just don't think anyone can take her remotely seriously in an adult role. It's almost a bizarre reverse of the usual trend: Teen star hangs on to that demographic too long, can't get any roles beyond the HS flicks, etc. Here she is trying to leap quickly into adult roles without much in the way of transitions. And yes, Josh Lucas sucks. I'll put it this way about the guy: The first thing I saw him in was Sweet Home Alabama, and I wanted Reese Witherspoon to end up with Patrick Dempsey instead of him.

Mole 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Poseidon reminds me of Titanic. Is the box-office down this year? It seems like the numbers were a lot higher last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 No, the box office has been consistently beating 2005. Don't you remember- 2005 was OMG NO ONE IS GOING TO THE MOVIES OMG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 Yeah, i'm pretty sure we all know what's opening up at #1 next weekend... Hint: It doesn't have Tom Hanks or Bruce Willis as a Racoon in it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 DaVinci code will outgross X3. Bank on it. X3 may have a bigger opening weekend.... all comic book movies do. Not that I'm going to the movies anytime soon. Movie theatres fucking suck. Poseiden looks like fucking shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NYankees Report post Posted May 15, 2006 I can see X3 doing 200-250 million. Da Vinci Code should do 200 million plus for it's run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 DaVinci Code is hard to predict. Will the so called controversy help the film at the box office, or will it hurt the film? Catholic boycotts used to be a huge deal for Hollywood (The Legion of Decency after all made Hollywood enforce the Production Code), but I'm not sure the same would hold today.

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2006 DaVinci is going to have a huge opening week. It's like Harry Potter- people who read the book want to see it, who people who have heard of the fuss but never bothered to read the book now really want to see it.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2006 Bob is right, DVC has a built in fanbase just like XMen and unlike Harry Potter, DVC was an adult hit so you draw that crowd while the dorks and teens flock to XMen. Both movies will have really healthy openings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
