Wong Kar Why?

brilliant price

$615,168,000 down
$503,942,941 more to go

i am sure both domestic and os will go up with actuals. it would be 620m+ for shoo. last week dom total went up over 4m while os went up over 6m.

Yes, this will happen. $1.15 billion worldwide.

What? It needs $1.19B. Do you mean $1.5B?

I may give you this decade but, I'm sorry, the 90s was still a formative decade for Wong. He was still unsure whether he was going Godard or Antonioni (with a hint of Bresson) up our collective asses. In terms of body of work that decade, Abbas Kiarostami, Hou Hsiao-hsien and even the late Krzysztof Kieślowski definitely surpassed him. And in terms of singular crowning achievements, Wong was no match to the likes of Pedro Costa, Artur Aristakisyan, Edward Yang, Aleksandr Sokurov and Béla Tarr.

Yes, he reached "master" status this decade - into his own apotheosis in the pantheon of cinema. But he does not remain uncontested. This decade alone, there is David Lynch, Manoel de Oliveira, Hong Sang-soo, Michael Haneke, Jia Zhang-ke, Claire Denis and Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

So this is really happening isn't it?

100%

*waits for the decade ends in 2010 argument to be brought up*

That'd be pretty stupid.

Biggest release of this decade, then.

You know hat I like most about the 2nd punch, its not slowing being administered Titanic style, Avatar is smashing records fast and with relative ease.

It should get the 3rd and 4th weekend records with $10 mil to spare each...

But Titanic gets it the rest of the way.

But this run will be phenomenal to follow, it's just beginning people!

indeed, move over Up in the Air we have a new BD/BP front runner

The majority of it will be made in 2009 though, it could be at over 700m WW by December 31.

Ok, it's obvious it's gonna beat ROTK, that's a no-brainer by now.

So, let's raise the stakes...

$642,993,860 DOWN
$ 1,199,886,095 TO GO

em wow, thats a lot to go

Em, it's going to add $300m+ over the next week...


And well yeah, this is the jewel in the crown of the global box office, of course it's a big number.

No, it needs $1.12 billion. ROTK is at $1.119 billion. $1.15 billion would beat it.

Well either way it's probably not making less than $1.2B now.

So Cameron will probably have the biggest movie of the 90s and 00s domestically and internationally

Fucking wild

Yeah, I just forgot to add an extra 1. But from your phrasing, I thought you were predicting $1.15B worldwide total for the film, and thought maybe you meant $1.5B.


Because it'll be much loser to $1.5B.
