2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2007 When me and my girl went to see the two Tyler Perry movies we saw (the Madea ones), we were the only white people in the theater. After the intial "what the fuck are THEY doing in here?" looks, everyone seemed to enjoy the films. Without the pissed off punch happy grandma, I just am not that interested. And isn't this the third week of the Rock movie? If so, it has held up extremely well and has a good chance to hold up until Bee Movie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2007 Woah woah woah... 2GOLD is white? Anyway, if The Comebacks manages to score anything above 8th place next week I'll be surprised. I hope 30 Days of Night does ok, it looks interesting and I'll be seeing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2007 Hell, I'll go one step further and say I'd be a bit surprised if The Comebacks opened in the Top 10. I haven't seen that many ads for it besides online ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2007 I keep seeing ads for it and they all look awful, but Noureen DeWulf looks pretty cute and it has some people from The Office in it (and Stacy Keibler) so I'll probably sit through it on TV in a year.

I hope 30 Days of Night does ok, it looks interesting and I'll be seeing it. Only on Sundays through Fridays. Saturday I'm green. And it might, those bad spoof films seem to always do good for some stupid reason or another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Man Who Sold The World 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2007 IMHO black cinema went down hill after House Party 2: The Pajama Jam. Sadly, I'm only half joking with that remark christ...that movie was on today, I forgot how horrible it was. I liked "Class Act" better! "Damita, I thought you was gonna play with my frog?"

Ripper 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2007 Tyler Perrys movies, I think would fall under the Family/Drama catagory. All of the bad people are over the top bad, all of the good people are over the top good. Then Madea is the comedy relief. She hasn't been in the last couple of movies, so its was just replaced by your regular comedy relief character in the movie. Case in point, his last movie, daddys little girls, the dad was over the top good, hard working guy, his ex was over the top all about money bad mother and the kids were the comedy relief. In the family movie genre, they are really good movies. If you want to compare it to other genres, it won't hold up at all because the characters are so shallow.

Boxofficemojo: Also opening wide, baseball movie The Final Season made an estimated $665,000 at 1,011 venues, which was the poorest start on record for a nationally-distributed sports movie.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2007 I wouldn't know about it if I hadn't read Roger Ebert and The Boston Globe's review of it last Friday. Thumbs were decidely planted in the middle, leaning down in both reviews IIRC. Didn't Astin direct or produce the movie or something as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMann2003 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2007 I saw Across the Universe this weekend, glad to see them slowly roll it out, it made 4 mil on under 1,000 screens, so not too bad. I liked the movie pretty well, being a Beatles music fan. I was disjointed, had a paper thin plot, and was not subtle at all, but from when they perform "Because" in a field and underwater, the songs and the film flows very well. I'd give it a solid B.
