Box Office 9/17

[Oren1]

well here we go again. I've been on quite a losing streak. Will it continue? Maybe so, I imagine this weeks lines will be tough. Maybe impossible to predict.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
playing in 3000 theaters. A throwback to the 30's and "serial" science fiction stories. Whatever the f*ck those are. Does anyone give a shit? The planes with the flapping wings look stupid. The rest looks o.k., but, the whole aviator up against giant robot thing just doesn't get me excited. I'm guessing I'm not alone and don't expect it to make much more than 20 million. There isn't much buzz at all for this movie, the line will be tight.


Mr. 3000
Bernie Mack is talented and funny, and maybe due for a break-out movie. But not this one. 11 million?

 

[Oren1]

o.k. Sky Captain is #1 on moviefone already. But who gives a shit, right?

25 million?

 

[Gillian]

Yeah... that is pretty impressive. I say 30 million

 

[Oren1]

back down to #5, not as impressive. And it's number of MSN user reviews aren't that great, either.

 

[Oren1]

hmm it's getting very good reviews. that might help, maybe the parents will see the good reviews and decide to take their kids.

 

[Oren1]

It fell off the chart. Resident Evil did better on moviefone, it was on the chart last Wednesday night. It also had vastly more user reviews at MSN. this might be the type of movie that does o.k. though without great internet buzz. blah blah blah

 

[Oren1]

up to #1 again.

 

[Gillian]

There up!!!!

 

[Gillian]

Sky Captain BUZZ is pumping full speed ahead!!!

Where are you, Oren.

I want some theater reports for this puppy!!!

 

[Oren1]

I haven't been able to log in. didn't make any plays this week, either. what about you>?

 

[Gillian]

I wasn't able either.

Any theater reports???

 

[Oren1]

I blink and the under 22.5 for sky Captain goes to -170. Only reason I didn't make a play. WTF this guy is getting annoying. Also should have grown a sack and taken Wimbeldon +5 million that was easy money damnit
