Be Kind Rewind did pretty damn well considering it was only in 800 theaters. I have a feeling it might it hit the Top 5 once it expands to more theaters.

[Craig Th 0]

I know it's in two weeks, but how much will 10,000 BC make?

 

I'm thinking 60 million. It's a summer movie in March and look what 300 did last year. Granted, 300 is probably a better movie, but still.

[Black Lushus 0]

I say 10,000 BC flops.

[MrRant 0]

I'm thinking flop as well but that is because I have no interest whatsoever in that movie.

[Black Lushus 0]

I don't know anyone else clammoring for it either, honestly.

[Aero 0]

While I almost always see a commercial for 10,000 BC whenever I watch TV, I still have yet to see any that actually shows anything that even hints at a plot or something. I have no interest in it at all. I'm predicting flop as well.

[Craig Th 0]

No flop.

[King Kamala 0]

I bet it'll make $30-40 million opening weekend and then have a huge dropoff.

[cabbageboy 0]

10,000 BC also has absolutely no one in it. I took a look on imdb and the only person in it I could pick out of a lineup would be Omar Sharif. No stars and no discernable plot = flop.

[Mik 0]

Well, the director said in Maxim that he definitely wanted all unknowns in the movie.

 

But yeah, I'm with everyone else. Absolutely no interest in it.

 

Semi-Pro next week I will probably end up seeing, although it doesn't look spectacular or anything. I just love Will Ferrell movies more than I probably should.

I was planning on seeing Charlie Bartlett in 2 more weeks (that way I can use my free passes on it) but with it bombing at #14, and just $1.8 million, I'm not even sure if it'll be around for that long.

[Epic Reine 0]

I'm thinking a flop for 10,000 BC too but then again, I thought the same for Jumper and it's doing pretty good for itself.

I don't know if it's bombing, I can't find it anywhere local, so it's probably on a low screen count

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

The first time I saw the B.C. trailer I thought it was going to be called "First Action Hero". Sadly, it's not.

[LaParkaMarka 0]

I thought Day After Tomorrow would bomb, and that actually did really well. I suspect 10000 BC will be similar.

[Ripper 0]

But that movie had a plot that you could get from the previews. Seriously, what the fuck is this movie about?

 

They crawl after some mammoths and...well...they jump around sometimes and yell....um....yeah...thats about it.

 

Seriously, what the fucking hell?

[In Credible 0]

Yeah I see it being like Pathfinder in that it kind of looks like it may be ok, but you can't tell shit from the trailer.

[Black Lushus 0]

Yeah I see it being like Pathfinder in that it kind of looks like it may be ok, but you can't tell shit from the trailer.

 

Good call, I got a total "Pathfinder" vibe from the previews.

1122 screens.

 

Not a huge release, but not exactly small either.

[The Buzz 0]

I got the idea that he had to protect his people from an evil ruler of some sort whenever I see the trailer, but I might be paying to close attention. Oh yeah and they like to show off their cool cgi sabertooth tiger.
