Casino Royale is on pace to be the #2 grossing Bond of all time, but I bet it will become #1 from word of mouth.

I know what the new movies are about, but I haven't seen a single tv ad for Touristas, Nativity, or VW 2.

 

Let's Go to Prison just hit my $2 theater, I'm seeing that this week

The only thing I know about Nativity is that it's about Jesus and there's controversy around it because the 16 year old they got to play Mary is legit pregnant. Maybe with the Christ child, I don't know.

wow, 2nd week and Tenacious D isn't even Top 12. Ouch.

Israel's age of consent is 16, or God's will, whatever.

Touristas I've seen a lot of ads for... usually late night Comedy Central. Nativity I've only seen posters and Van Wilder I saw a TV ad once or twice.

[Zack Malibu 0]

I had orginally thought the Van Wilder sequel was going to be direct to DVD. I didn't expect a huge performance out of it.

 

I've seen ads for Turistas all over the place.

[BUTT 0]

I know nothing of the movie, but I can't really expect much from a Van Wilder sequel that doesn't actually have Van Wilder in it. That would seem to be lacking a major ingredient.

[Gary Floyd 0]

Just saw the new Bond movie, and it's great. Not the best one ever, but the best in a long time.

 

"Turistas" wasn't that good. What's funny, is that it reminded me of "Hostel" at times, but for the most part, I thought it was like "Zombie Holocaust" aka "Dr Butcher M.D.", only not as campy or enjoyable, and without any cannibals or zombies.

wow, 2nd week and Tenacious D isn't even Top 12. Ouch.

I guess nobody likes Kyle Glass that or the deal Tenacious D made with the devil was only for Jack Black's movie career.

[Guest NYankees]

Airborne made more money in the box office than Tenacious D. I guess Jack Blacks drawing power is going down the shitter. Can someone answer this for me. Is it true that Shallow Hal was a box office flop in 2001 but made a ton of money on DVD?

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

Wouldn't surprise me. It was a surprisingly sweet movie. Fucking awful, but surprisingly sweet (though the message was incredibly obvious).

 

Saw Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny last night. Funny, but if you don't like overuse of the word "fuck" and dick/fart jokes, you'll hate it. The music was good, and the appearance of Satan was great (especially the song he plays). Destined to be a cult classic because it's not great, and only appeals to fans of Tenacious D.

Happy Feet is number 1 again. Talk about a movie having legs, pun intended.

glad to see Casino Royale doing so well. It always looked good but i had a fear that audiences might not go see it because daniel craig wasn't a pretty metrosexual and it was too "internet", glad to see that didn't happen.

No, it's that little girl from Whale Rider. Which is even creepier I think.

Deja Vu I was kind of dragged to go see, but considering it was a Bruckheimer production/had spastic Tony Scott direction, it was decent.

 

Would have been better save for an ultradumb chase scene smashed in the middle of the film.

 

See Denzel's character injure/kill dozens of people because of a combination of obsession and negligence! See the hummer he's driving sustain a head on collision from a ****ing semi and stilll keep going! See him hit and run paying no mind to the consequences of his actions!

[bob_barron 0]

That chase scene was one of the best parts of the movie

[Epic Reine 0]

The reason Tenacious D tanked is because:

 

1.) It's only for fans which is a small fanbase to begin with

2.) The movie is about 3 years too late.

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

I think the movie would've made more bank direct-to-video, honestly. Then there wouldn't have been the humbling box office bomb thing.

Wow, you must really hate the movie.

I couldn't tell from the numerous ads I saw for Turistas if it was called "Turistas" or "Turistas Go Home". I also laughed at the title as it reminded me of Stephen Colbert and his "istas" suffix.
