Nice call, Xiayun, Dr.Lecter and others. 
In fact, KJ Yahoo numbers analysts have been kicking butt for a long time.

Dakota Fanning is also losing her starpower as she grows up. With Lohan, Duff, Hilton, Ashlee Simpson, etc. which star will satisfy this demo? Could it be Raven Simone??? 
Maybe not!

I don't think its another slump, because both films offered nothing new, that moviegoers hadn't already seen over and over again. So why see the film, when your not going to get something new? I guess it's just me but I rarely see anything new in any summer movie. Well all summer movies are generally formulaic, but at least they have money shots full of effects, or seem like something that is remotely different. But as has been said for months, this gave off a huge Perfect Storm vibe, and no one bothered to see Poseidon because they'd seen the money shot frequent times in the past...

Well, that was before Lohan went really crazy with her off-screen antics and She's the Man did decently. It's just common sense to change opinion given the circumstances. I've always liked Bynes more, especially since she doesn't act like a moron in public/off-screen like Lohan and Cruise.

I would have thought taht bieng out of the limelight would have hurt Bynes, too, but apparently, she still has lots of fans and probably will continue to do so, as long as she just allows the work to speak for itself.

Amanda Bynes has good comedic timing. She was the only worthwhile thing about She's the Man, really. In fact, she's been the only worthwhile thing about most of her movies.
Lindsay Lohan does have talent (Mean Girls and Freaky Friday), although I think her off-screen image has hurt her too much.

You know I don't believe Lindsay Lohan is incredibly versatile as an actress, but she is a lot better than her media image gives her credit for. She is squandering it with her Hollywood antics though.

Since we're in a TDVC frenzy right now, I figure may as well just start the projection right now. Controversy will certainly increase the ratio (e.g. BOM already has 65 A's and 31 F's out of the 100 votes), so is the unprecedented size of simultaneous worldwide release. No midnight showings mean the early-hour reviews, which I expect to be pretty high, will be either fake or from international audience. I'm thinking 250 (similar to POTC) without frontpage and shooting for at least 7,000 reviews by the end of the day.

One thing though is that I think POTC was increased because Christians were more likely to grade it being a religious experiance for many. I suspect that to a certain degree we will have the same thing here, but this is still a genre and demographic that would usually produce a ratio of 75. I'm guessing just over 200. At the high end it could reach U93 heights (about 300 I believe), but the overall size is likely to lower that.

200-225 sounds about right for DVC, given some expected backlash and fake reviews. What kind of ratios are we looking at for OTH and See No Evil? I'm sure the latter will have something along the lines of American Haunting, since the genre is the same and the TC is also pretty low.

I would imagine the Over The Hedge ratio will be similar to Madagascar. That had a
75 ratio. I don't think it will go over 100.

I'm wondering one thing: with Yahoo shifting to its new page, will that lower the ratios of films overall? I'm directly brought to the new page now on Firefox, and with "Entertainment" section becoming a tab and no "Movie" link on the left, it has gotten harder to go to the movie main.
On the note related to tomorrow, no frontpage or one-line link on the old design.

I think it will lower the ratio. I would guess 10%, but it's probably difficult to say. I'm disappioint in this though. Well, I don't really like the new frontpage at all to be honest.

I honestly actually had chills when editing the title to "The Da Vinci Code."  I've been anticipating the (real) start of the summer for so long.

 Negative DVC reviews:
Quote: Bad..Bad..Bad movie...This is Tom Hanks worst acting. The Story is as bad as the acting, even worst. No doubt. Better not to see this film. Save your money guys !!!! Quote: The movie was so boring. If your name is vi then you might enjoy it. But for the rest of you watch something else Quote: i think the whole plot of the movie is to disrupt the basis of the christian faith, i believe that its wrong to offend other peoples religion , and even if u callit fiction, they should have used fictious names ,jesus is not a fictious character, he is for real Quote: I really do not understand what the real message from people who made the movie. Well, what will they do with movie revenue? Make the next episode or form a new religius? Quote: i havent yet watched the movie, thats why i have no right to say bad about this... all i know is that, the movie is against the Bible.. i am proud to be a christian and i do believe to the scripture. Quote: No idea why Sony and others help in this movie. Again, the worst Rating as i ever gave. Yet no interest to watch it ever. Quote: This not about religion... this movie fakes the history
Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[b] 38This is the first and greatest commandment.(math 22:37) Only one F seems to come from someone who saw it. I'm not sure fans are much better though: Quote: READ THAT BOOK AND SAW THE MOVIE ALREADY ADVANCED SCREEENING THATS WHY I CAN WRITE THIS REVIEW AT 12.40AM ON OPENING DAY HA!!! HA!! Quote: Tome hanks is a great in all!
i dont belive this story but i liked the film because all is very good!
the film will be one of films of the year and maby the best film of the year.
georges matta I hope these end up being representative of the reaction to the movie: Quote: When all the critics are dissing this film before you have even seen it i guess the expectations are lower than they should be....Those critics i feel only wanted to heap hate on to a movie thats billed as one of the biggest if not the biggest film of the year...Based on a book well read there is going to be a million interpretaions of what the film should be like..The story nothing new and yes most of the film seemed like images projected from my brain to the big screen.The pace could have been a lot faster as it doesnt catch any of the page turning suspense and with an ending already known it was tempting to go home early...But this is well worth the wait and the watch(cant really say the money as i work at a movies and its 3)but i would pay to see it anyway the actors are top notch with Hanks exceding my expectations of him and still confirming that Audrey Toutou is a fine actress and to watch Amelie asap.Sir Ian is great and provides a few laughs.Overall the film poses questions of revalation and faith at the same time...To keep a lie and allow everyone to remain with there faith or tell the truth and have all humanity lose faith in each other..I know what one i would choose.Yes go see this film discuss and debate but overall enjoy the reasn why films were made for fun and entertainment. Quote: Critics in America are becoming more and more pathetic each day. What kind of idiot loves Lost in Translation and then degrades The Da Vinci Code? Ron Howard wins again with the film adaptation of Dan Brown's masterpiece, The Da Vinci Code. Akiva Goldsman should be praised for taking such a popular novel and not only transforming it into a working screenplay, but a great screenplay. As far as novel-to-film adaptations go, this is by far the best I've seen. The film moves along with the same flow and intensity as the novel. Tom, Audrey, Paul, Ian, Alfred, and Jean all deliver wonderful performances and Howard captures every second of it. I've been waiting for this great film for a long time now and I was very satisfied with it's performance. Critics might be bashing it across the globe, but for those of us who watch film for more than just "art", this is a sure winner. Quote: Yo! this is one of the best adaptations from a friction novel on screen which i have seen in the recent past. Ths production values and the scale of the entire movie is perfect and what was asked for. The performances by all the actors were simply superb . Tom Hanks is in his full form this time round by executin such a complex and important character which conviction and honesty. i strongly recommend this movie ! Quote: Woow. I watched this movie yesterday and i found that this movie was amazing. The story is damn nice. Dan Brown is a great writter!! Acting is quite good. The direction are quite blur. I'm quite blur for some part of this movie. In conclusion this movie is a must see. A few other positive, but not as interesting.
Bashing critics is quite common at yahoo reviews (if you think I'm bad ).
On another note, they crack me up.
