Nicholas Cage has got to have one of the sweetest careers in Hollywood

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin]

How the hell does Nicolas Cage find time to release two movies a year that no one has ever heard of and that feature no other known actors in them? And how do these movies make money?

[SuperJerk]

Tyler Perry has to be a billionaire by now. Dude probably makes a 500% profit every single fucking movie.

 

Watchmen continues to climb toward $100 million, which would be very impressive if the movie was not only set in 1985, but released in 1985.

[RedJed]

That's pretty sad that Watchmen may not even make it's production budget back from the domestic box office totals by the time it's all said and done, which I think was 120 million.

 

I saw it in the IMAX last week and was blown away by it, personally. Awesome flick, particularly for the IMAX.

[DrVenkman PhD]

Hearing the movie clocked in at about 3 hours with car and coke commercials and movie trailers was my cue to wait for it to air on TV in 2010. I was also told by my friends who enjoyed the movie I would likely be bored with no familiarity with the source material, as even they were bored a few times (but overall really enjoyed the movie).

People flat out love Nicholas Cage.

I was pretty sure Watchmen was going to struggle to make 70-80 mil total. I mean, it's not exactly the most accessible material.

Nicolas Cage in another piece of shit at #1?

 

Awesome.

 

He's been the best actor in the business since The Wicker Man.

[HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

People, we live in a world where Bangkok Dangerous was the number one movie in America. Is it really a surprise anymore that Nicholas Cage can make a piece of shit movie and everyone go see it?

[2GOLD]

 

I've been desperately hoping he reprises his role of Fu Manchu from the Grindhouse trailers into a full movie.

 

Nick Cage yelling "THIS IS MY MECCA" equals my 9 bucks spent.
