Craig Th Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 Wow, good numbers for Jackass 2. Better than what Jackass 1 did.
Ginger Snaps Posted September 24, 2006 Report Posted September 24, 2006 Decent numbers for Fearless, considering it opened on fewer screens than other films. Glad to see that Rock's movie didn't drop too much (at least not as much as Dahlia - ouch). But I don't know if it will make its money back. How much did it cost to make?
Youth N Asia Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 It's not on the list, but I saw Crank today and loved it
The Amazing Rando Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Is the Black Dalhia a bad movie? Because I really think what is keeping it from getting an audience is that most of the movie-going public has absolutely no idea on the backstory behind that murder.
jesse_ewiak Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 It was marketed wrong. It was sold as this serious adaptation of Ellroy's book when it's really an over-the-top psychological thriller that has an uneven story because it's DePalma. Also, the fact it's a fictional story based on a real case pisses some people of.
The Amazing Rando Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 I guess some of it has to be fictional since they never truly proved who did it and probably wanted to give the audience some kind of closure.
2GOLD Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 I guess some of it has to be fictional since they never truly proved who did it and probably wanted to give the audience some kind of closure. Well that makes sense in a not kind of way. Inventing closer usually isn't the smartest plan since Hollywood closure kinda ends up having more holes that make it worse.

Well that makes sense in a not kind of way. Inventing closer usually isn't the smartest plan since Hollywood closure kinda ends up having more holes that make it worse. Depends on the film, really. Remember From Hell. One of those Jack the Ripper flicks - based on a graphic novel - that had closure to it. In reality the facts are waaaaaay off, but it made for good drama. I've read a lot of bad stuff about Dahlia, which sucks because it seems like it would be good. If you're wanting a great flick, which also has Hartnett in the lead, check out Lucky Number Slevin. Did I mention Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley act together in that?

Because I really think what is keeping it from getting an audience is that most of the movie-going public has absolutely no idea on the backstory behind that murder. I thought it was bad. It was really uneven. I haven't read the book, though, so I don't know how it holds up.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 I read The Black Dahlia in 9th grade, I think, right after having seen L.A. Confidential and loving it. I'm not surprised the movie is uneven and shitty, because the book was uneven and shitty as well. DePalma's certainly not the guy to reign that in, but I think he's become too timid to just explode all the excess and really go over the top a la Scarface.
cd213 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Posted September 25, 2006 Does anyonw know the totals for Pirates 2? I know it broke $1 billion, but I was wondering if it is closing in on the record.
