Can people who haven't seen the fucking movie please stop bashing it? Thank you.

National Lampoon's Gold Diggers $400,000 (gross) 1,062 (theatres) $376 (PTA)

From what I've read, it is the worst PTA ever for the first week a movie is in wide-release.

wtf do you expect when the "star" of the movie is the guy that used ot be in Boy Meets World. Not exactly massive pull. This shit should have been straight to video, i have no idea how it made it to theatres.

Just seen the movie. Great visual style, so-so plot.

Anyway, I got a question. What the hell did Jude Law say to Gwynneth Paltrow at the very end? With some people talking in the theater, I could not hear it.

Her lense cap was on when she took her last picture.

Thanks.

I didn't know Buster Keaton made serials.

Oh fuckit. Buster Crabbe!

I knew it would bomb, but five years from now, it'll be a cult classic that sells a ton on DVD.

Time for a real debate about Sky Captain.

Gwynneth or Angelina?

In 94, Crow grossed 50 mil... is that considered a bomb back then?

Both together. The best of both worlds. Freak and class all in one.

Crow actually did well at the BO iirc, mostly cause of the hype over Brandon Lee's death. A closer comparison would be Starship Troopers. That movie was hyped as a potential blockbuster, flopped (was also delayed out of summer, like sky captain, wasn't it?) and now seems to be some kind of "cult" hit.

Gwynneth is androgynous mindjob and Angelina touched Billy Bob, so neither..

Damn. You think the movie's bad rep would have caused it to slow down, but it's weekend was pretty good.

Unless it mysteriously cost a fortune, no. It was actually the 24th highest grossing film of 1994. With inflation The Crow's box office would be around $73 million, which puts it above hits from this year like The Manchurian Candidate, Hellboy and Dawn of the Dead.

You have some weird standards. Come back to America and be normal again.

Are you for real? A freaking 70% drop is not "pretty good". Your Resident Evil fanboyism knows no bounds.

Guess the plans for a prequel to Sky Captain are out the window now.

Darn. And I really wanted to know how Angelina Jolie got her eyepatch!

 

[Warm Machine]

I just came back from watching both Sky Captain and Wimbledon. Wimbledon was the more entertaining film though I like Sky Captain as well. Considering Wimbledon is in less theaters than Mr 3000 I think it did pretty good.

Actually, it dropped 61% for the whole weekend, which is not bad at all for a movie like this and is comparable with the second weekend drops of several summer hit movies. Also, it has made 37.4 million in 10 days, compared to the 24 days it took the original movie to make that much. The original movie only made 40 million altogether. So the movie is doing very well, and another sequel is all but guaranteed.

You apparently missed the earlier part of this thread where we already went through this... the movie is tracking very close to the same $$ as the original, so it's not doing bad. The drop is on par with the drop of the previous movie at the same time during it's run.
