Anyway, it BOMBED in UK and that despite being an English production with an English cast and the English like football. It was an utter non-significance in Germany and most other European countries. I tend to agree that $1 million might be around the ceiling. The "real one" with far less apparent popularity. The Superbowl is the most-watched telecast in the world every year.

But Football is far better then soccer.

You like something you can actually play as there aren't many women playing American football.

That's why I like soccer so much more. It has a farmore universal appeal and anyone can play it.

My last comment on the topic, but the World Cup finale is usually watched by 1,000,000,000+ people around the world.
Man, only a month till it gets going here!

The strength to be quick and highly-navigational on your feet is, I would imagine, considered by many to be just as difficult as playing football, if not more
And we should probably drop this since it's meandering pretty widely off-topi.

Have you seen the size of some Football players? They're massive and not fat either.

...can we get back on topic?
That's a pathetic count for See No Evil. I wanted to see it but with a count like that, I doubt I'll be able to.

Yeah...I'm sure that $16 million tracking for See No Evil will come true now. $15,000+ PTA is coming. Take that, Cruise!

That is an awful count indeed for SNE. It may end up with 1500 though.

What were you people expecting for that See No Evil thing?
It's in line with other low-budget horror movies with modest expectations. Remember Wrong Turn?

I don't think See No Evil will have a higher PTA than American Haunting did, even with a lower count and Liongates' past success.

Yeah, Goal will bomb. It has 0 advertising, and it's an unappealing genre. It won't break 1.5 million, I'm sure of that.

Actually, I don't think it will even get a 1000 pta, so make that less than a million. _________________Visit My Youtube Account and here is what you will see.    and many more.

I'm going with $600,000 for Goal. And I have a feeling See No Evil will end up in closer to 1,700 theaters, but we'll see.
