Vampiro69 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Posted October 14, 2007 Title wise "The Great White Hope." And for shits and giggles "Birth of a Nation".
2GOLD Posted October 15, 2007 Report 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.
DrVenkman PhD Posted October 15, 2007 Report 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.
King Kamala Posted October 15, 2007 Report 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.
DrVenkman PhD Posted October 15, 2007 Report 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.
2GOLD Posted October 15, 2007 Report 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. 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.
Man Who Sold The World Posted October 15, 2007 Report 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?"
Black Lushus Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 it's too bad the main purpose of Class Act was to debut Kid's new hairstyle.
Ripper Posted October 15, 2007 Report 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.
bob_barron Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 The Final Season joins the under $1,000 PSA club opening with a PSA of $657. The Yari Film Group's hot streak continues! 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.
Black Lushus Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 Final Season...is that the one with the kid from Sky High?
bob_barron Posted October 15, 2007 Report Posted October 15, 2007 Yes, and it has Sean Astin and Tom Arnold too!
King Kamala Posted October 15, 2007 Report 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?
DMann2003 Posted October 15, 2007 Report 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.
chuck415 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 Except "The Wood", that movie is great!
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted October 16, 2007 Report Posted October 16, 2007 "The Comebacks" looks worse than "Date Movie" or "Epic Movie" did, if that's possible.
