[King Kamala]

Good for American Gangster, looking forward to checking that out next weekend.

[LivingLegendGaryColeman]

I am glad it worked out this way. Bee Movie was one I kinda wanted to see when I first heard about it, but now it has been overmarketed to the point where I could care less.

[Insanity]

Not a surprise. Denzil is a huge draw already and the addition of everyone else was just a cherry on top. Bee Movie did play it smart though since I'm sure a lot of its revenue came from kids trying to sneak into American Gangster.

What was The Gameplan's opening numbers?

[2GOLD]

What was The Gameplan's opening numbers?

 

22.9 million. It has had amazing staying power.

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

It's times like this that I wish I had a daughter instead of a son. Gameplan seems like a father/daughter-type movie; my son certainly doesn't want to see it...

[Ginger Snaps]

That number has to be a big disappointment for Bee Movie, since they were hyping it for months to be the big fall kids / family movie. Maybe to the point where people were just sick of seeing the ads for it I guess. But, it could have staying power.

 

Good for Denzel. I hope he gets another Oscar nomination out of this.
