Julie and Julia is doing quite well.

Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
Good for District 9. :up:
|
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
You may be right. Def the biggest opening of Tarantino's career. Good for him.
Glad to see D9 holding pretty well. It deserves to cross $100m. |
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
Hooray for Inglourious Basterds. It will probably sink like a stone next weekend but it should still be able to make it to at least $75-$85 million overall which is definitely a success. When was the last time Weinstien Co. had a number 1 movie?
Also glad to see RObert Rodriguez's new kiddie bullshit bomb. IS this his third bomb in a row after Grindhouse and Sharkboy....? Hopefully this will end his hobby of child movies and get back to making violent fun adult moves again. (C'mon sin city 2!!!!) I have absolutely no idea what the hell Post Grad is. DIDnt even know that was something that existed. G.I. JOE should make it to $150 million domestically which is most likely gonna ensure a sequel. Julie and Julia is holding up very very well. So is Harry POtter. Wonder if that will hit $300 Million? |
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
Great for Tarantino and District 9. I'd be very happy if those numbers are correct.
|
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
well bom has Basterds making 14 and change on friday alone (which also would count for the midnight screenings) which explain why the estimate is only 34 instead of higher

Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
I'm hoping good word-of-mouth will boost BASTERDS. I've been doing my part. I think a lot of the potential grown-up audience for it may have been put off by the emphasis on violence in some of the trailers, but there really isn't that much of it. (There are very few action scenes in it at all.) It definitely has appeal to adults wanting a well-thought-out film with intelligent dialogue and strong characters. When the word gets out, people will go.

yes I had to check to make sure I didn't accidentally walk into Julia and Julia |
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
I'm still trying to see it this weekend but I've been too lazy and don't feel like fighting teenagers just to crawl my way in to theater itself.
I really can't wait. I'm shocked to see it do $34m - I didn't see that coming. |
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
With $3.4 Million Half Blood Prince just crosses $290 Million domestically. For it to hit $300 Mill it'll have to crawl across the finish line on fumes.

Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
Great news for IB and District 9.
|
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
Not too bad for D9 a less than 50% drop. Me and some buddies and doing a double feature on Tues seeing both District 9 and IB in the same night.
|
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
$37 million for IB! That's fantastic.
|
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
Remember, Basterds isn't 100% Weinstein.
So we have to wait for H2 to tank to find out their fate |
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
Glad to see IB did well. Hopefully QT will won't take as big a break between this one and his next project as he did with Jackie Brown and Kill Bill.

So we have to wait for H2 to tank to find out their fate I think Weinstein also sold all DVD/BD rights to Universal as well (as they're REALLY strapped for cash apparently), so the US box office is what they're banking on 100%. Basterds cost $70M to make so if you consider that Weinsteins are responsible for half of that, they've already made their money back. And I was hoping Weinstein would die so that someone would release Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair on DVD/BD. Damn. LOL. I dunno... I didn't see Halloween Remake #1 but the trailer for H2 looks pretty positive. I think it might get creamed by The Final Destination 3D however (what idiot put both of those on the same weekend?!) |
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
Halloween was awful, and I'm someone who liked The Devil's Rejects.
|
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
^ Same here. On top of that H2 has one of the most drawn out, ridiculously boring, suspenseless trailers I've seen in sometime.

Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
I guess 'Ponyo' isn't doing very well.

I'm not the biggest RZ-as-director fan, but I really thought he was above this. |
Re: Box Office talk 8.21-8.23, Weinsteins might be saved edition
G.I. Joe is up to $120.5 mil in the US. I think it'll get close to $150 mil, but not sure it can surpass that. With kids going back to school soon, it may end up closer to $140m.
