Weekend Box Office Predictions
|
I am going to try this once and if it works out then I am going to make it a feature every Friday.
I am going to try and predict this weekend’s box office on a Friday.
My only fear is that this feature is going to fall flat on its face and I will be humiliated on Monday when all of my predictions turn out to be completely wrong.
Here it goes.
Click on the movie title to watch the trailer
The only reason I am putting this movie on top is only because it is opening in the most theaters. By no means do I think this is going to be the best movie this week. I am actually going to avoid this as long as possible. Maybe one day I will catch it on HBO on a Sunday when I will be too hung over to move from the couch.
Have you noticed that Hollywood only has two or three good ideas at once?
First there was Hollywoodland and now this. How many whodunit Hollywood murder movies do we need a year? Especially opening within a week from each other. It’s great how this movie is being marketed as the movie from the same guy who directed Scarface. Yea, Brain De Palma also directed Snake Eyes.
These type of computer based animated movies just aren’t the great money makers they used to be. In my opinion I think Hollywood has fucked up with these. Pixar didn’t make all the money because their animation was done using computers…Nope, its because their movies were simply great. Great dialogue, actual storylines, and characters that made you care whether they lived or died. Everyone’s Hero is just riding the CGI wave that will soon come crashing down. It is still going to come in the top 5 only because kids will watch anything and parents will do anything to stop them from crying.
When I first saw the trailer for this movie I thought ...”Great another guy falls for quirky funny girl instead of going for the safe, boring, hot girl,type movie” Then once I read that it was written by Paul Haggis, I thought to myself this could be good. I really doubt it. Still kids who loved Garden State are going to want to watch this.
Rave reviews plus surprise ending equals long term box office success. I like seeing actors such as Paul Giamatti get famous.
Ben Affleck won an award for this and there are talks about Oscars being handed around for everyone involved in this movie. Meh, I might see it. Personally I would rather watch The Black Dahlia.
Great movie. I haven’t laughed out loud during a movie in a really long time. This movie is so great it’s making all of its money through word of mouth advertising. Dayton-Faris made a great transition from Music Videos to Feature length movies. Watch this now. Believe the hype this isn’t Snakes on a plane hype. This is actually good.
For some reason I really want to see this. This is Turkish on speed. With a speed premise. Shit, I’m sold.
Sappy Football movie where Mark Wahlberg goes from being a bartender to a pro football player in just 120 minutes. This movie is specifically for all those ex jocks who still talk about their high school football days…
The pitch for this movie was just Will Ferrell doing a movie about NASCAR. It has just made over $140 million. We the movie goers are just suckers. |
