Movies

LOL! Not grumbling, simply agreeing with the above post. Interesting to compare Star Wars with the FFFF movies though.

I think that's the more apt comparison. I'm sure that today's audience (let's say that instead of implying "get off my lawn") feels that these new movies, movies that will grow in their minds as time goes by, are superior to their old fogie parent's movies.

 

Furious 7 at 67-68 million Friday / 150 OW Possible alfjox Apr 03, 23:20

Ka---CHINNNNNNNNNG! {nm} favrerocks Apr 03, 23:22

I actually buy that. The "Furious" films have an awesome history of overperforming. {nm} VictorY Apr 03, 23:43

they've now revised it to 148...until they revise it again =P {nm} tealfan Apr 03, 23:44

Good reviews, good movie and lotsa buzz. Formula for $ucce$$. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 03, 23:46

Does 150 OW mean what i think it means? 40 in call? (nm) mattep74 Apr 04, 00:06

Yep. {nm} joeoftexas Apr 04, 00:49

Truly amazing that a piece of crap like this can make this much money. Staggering really. goodvibe61 Apr 04, 00:32

Wow. And here I thought I was not a fan of the franchise. Compared to your thoughts, mine are tame. Definitely won't be seeing it though. {nm} Willroast Apr 04, 01:14

Does this mean that you max shorted the OW... ? {nm} Facto Apr 04, 01:26

I think I'll do okay with the weekend numbers. {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 04, 08:35

What does the quality of the movie have to do with the box office? Explain that one to me. {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 04, 09:10

Genuine aficionados don't begrudge others their entertainment. These results are great for the industry & for consumers of popular culture. {nm} Qix Apr 04, 03:43

True that. I don't begrudge anyone anything. Obviously I hope everyone goes out and loves this. More power to them. {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 04, 08:55

i agree with you on some big hollywood movies, but not this one. where the F&F franchise is different is that 1: they have successfully islander Apr 04, 06:28

I'm sure kids today probably feel like the FF movies are as good as The Godfather. I agree with you about that. {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 04, 09:02

Kids today, grumble grumble! I'm sure most kids in 1972 weren't into The Godfather, and that kids in 1977 thought Star Wars was just as good {nm} Roger More Apr 04, 09:15

oh please...you don't like anything that's strictly fun!...*hands you a copy of Wizard of Oz to see if it causes you to melt* =P tealfan Apr 04, 08:00

I think it's interesting that you categorize The Wizard of Oz as a "fun" movie. It scared the hell out of me when I was a kid. goodvibe61 Apr 04, 09:05

Well there's 2 million down the drain {nm} Dorfman Apr 04, 05:11
