How much did Hulk gross on its opening weekend?

BKB, much rather will Martians land on Earth today than White Noise will open north of $40 million.

Much rather will there be eternal piece in the world than Wite Noise will open to $40+ million.

Much rather it will be revealed that George Bush has a sexual affair with Rumsfeld than White Noise will open to $40+ million this weekend.

Much rather will World War III start tomorrow than White Noise will make $40+ million this weekend.

Much rather will the Monster of Loch Ness be caught this weekend than White Noise will open to $40+ million.

Much rather will Alexander get a re-release and make $100 million than White Noise will make $40+ million over the weekend.

Much rather will a Bigfoot come over to my house for a tea than White Noise will make $40+ million over the weekend.

Overprediction I am goin to have to say

KJ

Well despite BKB's well thought out evaluation on how this film will preform this weekend :wink: , I'm gonna go in the other direction..Although I find its subject matter interesting, this is neither the time or place for this film. At best is will pull in 15-17million over the weekend but I find it more likely to do about 8-10million. I didn't see a big marketing push for this film and hummmmm Halloween was over 3 months ago...

besides everything else that has been said already, l really, really dont think that the "average moviegoer" is gonna be drawn to this movie for it's subject matter...honestly, l dont think many people care about evp, or whatever, at all.

but oh well,,,we;ll see in 2 days or so...

Uh, yeah I did see it and who cares if it's PG-13??? I could give a flying fuck about not everything appealing to TEENS.. How about a movie for the Adults huh??? This movie is Excellent and my brief review of it is over at the Movie Forum with more being focused on dumbass teens and there disrespective behavior toward others who are there to watch a movie and not be in a a Surreal life Episode of "Saved By the Bell"... If it doesn't make what I predicted?? Then that really is a shame and only proves that for a horror or suspense movie to make the prediction I said, it has to once again copy the much overrated and not scary at all "The Ring" and "The Grudge" and have the Cast of the O.C in it..

62 Million... Not bad for a movie that was heavily Pirated and a working print of an unfinished film stolen by some dumbass teen looking to get his 15 Minutes of fame for doing so and now is under house arrest for the next couple of years and heavily fined for doing so and the best part of that is the kid probably didn't have a job to afford to pay the fine and Mommy and Daddy had to foot the bill which hopefully resulted in his ass getting kicked by Dad for doing something as stupid as defrauding the studio of $$$ in stealing a working print of an unfinished movie.. Funny how I see nowadays that with all the release of these Superhero Movie, the HULK is actually garnering alot more respect for its faithfulness and look which is something it didn't get back in 2003..

Hey BKB, just don't try and tell me now that the movie was based on reality. If it's based in reality, then you can jump off a ten story building and be fine and get attacked by bat boy ghosts whenever you mess with a serial killer

First of all, you'd be really surprised at the things that occur in this world that you don't hear about and if you've ever watched a show like "In Search Of" or "Ripleys Believe it or Not" Stranger things have happened... I've actually seen stories about people who've jumped out of a plane parachuting and their Chute not opening and them hitting the ground and actually surviving it.. I know it's hard to believe and for me, I didn't believe it either, but I'll try and locate the story... As for this movie being based on Fact??? It is and like I said, if you ever get an opportunity to listen to a show called "COAST TO COAST AM" They occasionally have these EVP shows on(Mostly around Halloween) and I'm telling ya: It's genuinely Creepy as all hell.. It is and makes you think about what the Afterlife holds.. Thew problem in this woreld we live in is that everything is on a "seeing is believing" Nature and people are just not very open minded..

Man, you've told me about Coast to Coast AM about half a dozen times now. I'm not going to ask about the EVPs and ghost whispers, no point debating that. What I'm talking about is the stupid ghost triplets. Even the EVP experts are saying the movie blows things out of proportion.

The EVP Experts say there is more accurate about this movie then isn't.. They were impressed from what I've read..

Alright, well BKB, how about this. I'll list some events that happened in the movie, and just tell me if you REALLLY think that these sorts of things happen in every day life (yes, spoilers):

1. Women get possessed and jump off eight stories, land on glass ceilings face down but not only live, but leave the hospital the next day.

2. Ghosts go around trashing people's houses whenever they're pissed off.]

3. There's spirits that fly around messing up peoples shit on an hourly basis, and they're bat creatures.

4. Real ghosts threaten to kill serial killers unless they kill people.

5. From a message that saying "John my love" on fuzzy static a man could find out who that person is, where they live, who the person speaking was, and there home address.

YES..., All of this could very well happen depending on how open minded you are and not overly skeptical.. There are things in this World Young Moviedude that happen for a reason and things that happen that you don't hear enough about, mainly because the people who report it feel being ridiculed if they do... There is a Spirit World Moviedude, an Afterlife so to speak and the only way and only time you'll believe in any of this is when your time comes my friend.. You, Me, EVERYONE all have a date with destiny, a time when we go, and a place whether it's a peaceful way to go or violent, we all will experience this 1 day.. It may be tomorrow, it maybe 5 minutes from now, who knows.. I do believe that when you pass on, your physical body as you know it deteriorates and your conciousness survives and moves on to a different plane of existence.. You might laugh at this notion now, but you like alot of skeptics will only be believers when the act occurs... :wink:

I'm not saying I don't believe in the afterlife. I'm saying I don't believe in a movie that has a huge amount of fiction in it. If you truly believed that everything in that movie happens all the time in real life, I suggest you seek medical help.

If you truly believe that things like this DON'T happen in real life and many of times are not reported?? Then your gullible and very close minded... Depending on what you want to believe or not, I can't rule out the possibility that the people who claim they've been contacted by loved ones from the other side are lying or not.. We haven't been in their shoes to experience it, but in this world, there does exist the Supernatural and things we can't explain.. What are your thoughts on the movie Wes Cravens "The Serpent and the Rainbow" which focuses on Black Magic, Voodoo and Zombies??? That movie is based on real life events and what occurs over in that Culture??

Never seen it. But I hardly think that saying people who don't believe in ghosts and spirits are stupid is being open minded man. :?

People should be much more open minded when it comes to the subject of the Spiritual World than Cynical since were all gonna be there 1 day.. I'm seeing this again tonight at 6:15 and so far, this is hands down 1 of the BEST films of the Year and God Bless Michael Keaton for coming out of retirement to be in this.. Too bad he couldn't of played Bruce Wayne instead of Bale in this summers 5th Batman Installment which so far looks pretty weak and I will predict disappoints..

Umm. Critics are not bashing (or poorly reviewing, I should say, I haven't really read a bash) this film because of the subject matter. Most have said that the subject matter shows a lot a promise and is fairly interesting.

Most are bashing it because it turns silly and uses the same horror cliches in order to create cheap thrills. They don't like it because it takes a scary idea and does nothing with it.

Divorce yourself from the notion that critics hate this movie because they hate the supernatural, there is no proof in that idea. Rather, accept the fact that they did not like it because they feel that the film's good potential was destroyed by a bad plot, bad acting, etc.


I'm sure it is the best film of the year... considering it is basically the ONLY film released so far this year

Bwahahahahaha!!

Well i REALLY liked WHITE NOISE.

And it looks to be one of the top 5 horror/thriller movies this year.

Genuinely creepy, and really unsettling.

Sold out audience, screams and jumps throughout.

You'll love it.

It's good, but dissapointing.

I love the music in the movie.. Very Exorcist, creepy sounding and I did jump in 1 scene where the spirits ripped that place apart... Very real looking and I loved the whole premise of the film as well.. Good story and you don't hear that very often from me when it comes to Horror films, neither The Grudge or The Ring were effective at all in their scares, but was more focused on that top notch cast from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the O.C in getting people to go see it.. They showed a trailer for The Ring II and it did absolutely nothing and didn't even muster up a response from the audience.. Maybe it's because the crowd for this movie was an older crowd or something or it just didn't grab moviegoers.. Who knows.. I think this movie when it comes on DVD will get a Cult audience like The Butterfly Effect achieved..It's also nice to see Michael Keaton back to..

Ding ding ding. We have a winner. The basic premise behind White Noise is really good, and is absolutely loaded with potential. The filmmakers just utterly and completely misfired.

How so??? If it would've been any other premise, then they would've been accused of copying from other films to much to cater to the teens and the direction they took it in suggests they were aiming for an older audience and I like that.. Not every movie released nowadays has to appeal soley to the teens.. It's Ok to put out a Good thriller to cater to the adults to once inawhile.. =D>

I actually think this did cater to teens more than anyone else. A PG-13 ghost story comprised mostly of jump scares. I can tell you that at my showing the sold out audience was about 70% 18 and under.
