 Of the year's remaining specialty releases, which will-- gross the most (domestic)?
I chose not to include Lincoln. Its seven-day limited bow almost reminds of a Disney movie's. It is obviously intended as a major nationwide release.

Re: Of the year's remaining specialty releases, which will-- I don't even understand why The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a limited release. It doesn't seem to be the type of film to get amazing reviews and expand slowly. It should be in multiplexes frequented by teens, not art-houses.

There's only one vote and it's for Anna Karenina. I'm guessing that's yours Gun  . Don't see why this will make much more than other similar films, like The Duchess. I'm thinking 18-22 Million. Of course that could easily be enough to best the rest of this crop.

Re: Of the year's remaining specialty releases, which will-- Either the Master or Anna K.
Both look to make something in the $35-$55m range.

My answer to this is either The Sessions or Hyde Park on Hudson, depending on which gains more Oscar traction. Edit: Or The Master. I dunno.

Re: Of the year's remaining specialty releases, which will-- David wrote: Box Office Mojo lists it as limited. They've been wrong on that before, though. I think it will be wide when all is said and done.

Re: Of the year's remaining specialty releases, which will-- It wouldn't make sense for it to be limited. I think it will end up with a count of 800-1,200.

Re: Of the year's remaining specialty releases, which will-- I mean seriously if Cosmopolis was given a more well known studio (even say Focus), it would do quite well. Oh well.

Doesn't seem mainstream enough and Pattinson has proved he isn't much of a draw outside of the Twilight series.
