^12:45 PM update {nm} Oleg Max Feb 05, 14:05

Hopefully HAILC goes up - wasn't expecting it to be that frontloaded from the previews, even with the Coen factor. {nm} RollingThunder Feb 05, 14:09

tumbleweeds on Sunday, thanks to super bowl {nm} Oleg Max Feb 05, 14:19

Precisely, which is why I expected Friday to be better for the one film that actually has an A-list star. {nm} RollingThunder Feb 05, 14:26

I think Tomorrowland showed that he's no longer an A-lister. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 05, 14:34

nah, just that Damon LIndelof can't write his way out of a bag {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 05, 14:38

So we gonna blame the Coen Brothers for Clooney failing to carry his latest effort? {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 05, 14:43

Coen Brothers movies are not Tomorrowland-sized tentpoles {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 05, 14:44

True Grit grossed $171 Mill; Tomorrowland $93 Mill. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 05, 14:50

True Grit opened to $24m, at Christmas. the holiday legs were what carried it. they aren't using Clooney to try and open Hail Caesar to $50m {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 05, 14:52

I bet they weren't expecting it to fall flat on its face. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 05, 14:54

i doubt they care. they make the movies they want to make and could give a **** about box office {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 05, 15:00

Compared to the other Clooney/Coens movies, it's perfectly average in the OW gross: BSmurf Feb 05, 15:07

and this is period, so its gonna perform more like O Brother {nm} Moviesnob Feb 05, 15:26

This appeals to a limited audience. And the tv promos don't help. {nm} leo21 Feb 05, 16:31

JBROL, CTATU, SJOHA and JHILL are all A-listers as well. Antibody Feb 05, 14:44

Just goes to show what an overused term it is. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Feb 05, 15:08

I think its more like you misunderstand how consumers react to talent in movies. They wont go see everything their favorite actors are in Moviesnob Feb 05, 15:18

I have that sentiment. Jay_Beezy Feb 05, 16:53

I'm sorry but HAILC ads look soooo lame! {nm} baconmaker Feb 05, 17:11

well, there's always Dirty Grandpa {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 05, 17:42

6.5 for CHOCE. To hell with Sparks. And to hell with his treatment of ADADD. Jay_Beezy Feb 05, 14:53

i think choce goes up on sunday {nm} adrenalin112 Feb 05, 15:01

Dear John (#2 Super Bowl opener, also Sparks) only made $4.2M on Sunday (vs. $13.7M on Friday) benz0 Feb 05, 16:36

Having seen the movie, I understand the 78 rotten tomatoes...Critics loved the genre stuff....THe moive,,,meh Blink and you missed JHILL {nm} mrbinns Feb 06, 05:39

(78% fresh) it's pretty funny {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 06, 15:17

movie looked pretty funny. {nm} Dorfman Feb 07, 07:04

it's Coen Brothers funny (dry, deadpan humor) {nm} slipping jimmy Feb 07, 09:11
