WHAT THE HECK!?!?
If it doesn't cross $100 million, I've already got your movie picked out, Mavy.

The think the old man is just frustrated, the tide is turning and there's nothing he can do about it...

No, Mav is (partially) right. It dropped to 1,853 on Wednesday and will drop to 1,183 on Friday. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

By the way, it's not just the theatre loss that will hurt WTL, it's also the adult competition it'll be getting from Geisha, Brokeback, Munich and The Producers.

No, Mav is (partially) right. It dropped to 1,853 on Wednesday and will drop to 1,183 on Friday. I see. I didn't think about that and didn't expect it to lose theaters on Wednesday. Losing these many theaters going into Christmas is unexpected and really hurt. It wouldn't have mattered if it happens after new year, but this could cut $3-4M into the total gross, and after new year, it'll be down to $1M. Globes ceremony will still be a couple of weeks away, and oscar nominations will be 4 weeks away. It'll be very close, and my predicted date may be right on the mark.

Without a re-release it won't make it. Definitely.
With a re-release, it most likely will.
But hey, at least it makes the bet more interesting than ever and even if WTL reaches $100 million, it's not going to happen very soon.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. How about you do your job and tell the little freak to quit constantly following me around and trying to start shit. Do you want to see who can start shit better, me or him? I'll guarantee I'll make him look like a preschooler, which is about the mentality he has anyway.
Take care of the problem or I will.

Mav, it might be making money, but imagine you are a theatre owner and you have a choice between keeping WTL that is many weeks old or getting one of the hot new releases that are all guaranteed to make more than WTL at your theatre...of course you drop WTL then. _________________The greatest thing on earth is to love and to be loved in return!

I don't see this being a problem, as it'll hold there plenty long enough to still be in enough theaters when it's expanded again.

Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Now THERE is a movie that deserved more money and more recognition.

Bloodrayne It'd be a good choice, but we still won't know if Walk the Line will pass $100 million or not by the time Bloodrayne comes out. I don't expect that film to run through March. Heh.

MARCH 31st
Quote: ATL
Director: Chris Robinson
Stars: (Full Cast)
Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures Inc.
The Plot: Love blooms at an Atlanta roller rink between ace skater Rashad (T.I.) and the rink's sweetest employee, New New (London).
THE BUZZ: Though ATL shares much in common with the underappreciated Roll Bounce, it was actually in development before Bounce rolled into theaters last September. Big the difference is ATL is more, uh, crunk? Music video director Chris Robinson makes his debut, based on an idea by TLC's T-Boz and superstar producer Dallas Austin. I think if it doesn't reach 100 million, but gets like 99 million that his prediction is way close enough to be considered great and you should make him go see something that would be actually good... like Inside Man or A Scanner Darkly.

We'll see how close it gets. Maverikk already sees "good" films, so it's hard to choose a "good" film when he's probably got it on his list already.
The Inside Man is like a present.
