Damnit, please no more of these shitty movies.
And people complained about The Last Stand. Die Hard 5 made that look oscar worthy.
Jesus christ Bruce why the hell would you sign up for such a piece of shit? I'm sad I watched it despite seeing the bad reviews. It really is that bad and nothing else interested me.
I think John Moore is the main guy to blame. Never has a hack of a director ruined other franchises so well. I really hope this guy doesn't get a job anymore.

Probably make 20 to 30 million on it and maybe even got a cut of the box office

Tomorrow is President's Day, so it will be past $300M tomorrow.

Haha loved that bit. Don't know why he's embarrassed over Moonlighting
Probably reminds him too much of the good old days, where he didn't have to do shit like this for a buck.
Heh, the funny thing is that he really doesn't have to either. He chose to do this and EX2. He still gets genuinely good roles, like Looper. He's selling himself out.
Reminds me of Bill Murray's character in Lost In Translation.
"I'm doing this for $2mil when I could be doing a play somewhere."
you laughed while watching the trailer of Movie 43?
Mainly at the Emma Stone wizard line.
This was more or less my thoughts. Saw it the other day with coworkers.
Wasn't a bad movie, but nothing too great about it either. It's just really an average action movie with Bruce Willis thrown in just because.
At least it didn't go way over the top like Die Hard 4, but there were little nitpicks here and there.
Some funny one-liners, but it was really just average overall.

Where is that Jason's Ultimatum guy? He told me people didn't want to see these types of action movies anymore.
Friday Studio Estimates
1) Snitch - $4.1M
2) Identity Thief - $4.1M (-37%) - $84M
3) Safe Haven - $3.5M (-51%) - $41M
4) Dark Skies - $3.1M
5) A Good Day to Die Hard - $2.8M (-65%) - $45M
6) Escape From Planet Earth - $2.4M (-36%) - $26M
7) Silver Linings Playbook - $1.5M (+1%) - $103M
8) Warm Bodies - $1.5M (-44%) - $55M
9) Beautiful Creatures - $1M (-55%) - $14M
10) Side Effects - $1M (-41%) - $23M
- A fairly soft week after last weekend
- Identity Thief will probably win the weekend, and will also be the first 2013 film to break $100M (sometime in the next week)
- Good Day to Die Hard is living up to its name. Looks like the film will finish with maybe $60M domestically. Overseas will save it though.
- Dark Skies is opening fairly soft. First day was about 65% of what Insidious debuted with. It is ultra low budget though.
- SLP continues its crazy run

I'm trying to think what the last movie I saw in teh theate was. I think it was Total Recall. Everything is just home theater watching, especially if its coming out in the Jan/Feb months.

It's been a week and I can't believe how bad Die Hard was.
What? Vengeance was great. You can't beat Sam Jackson.
Well, it was the #1 movie worldwide last weekend so they aren't lying. We'll see how those overseas drops looks this weekend though.
The Hobbit is out in China and numbers for its first couple of days are pretty soft. $1B is going to be a close call. I still think it will make it there, but it might end up under TDK's $1.008B.

1) Identity Thief - $4.1M (-41%) - $94M total

4) Safe Haven - $10.6M (-50%) - $48M total
