Lots of them bomb, they all bomb with critics, and Social Network is NOT a spoof movie.

Posted by: Krubino (a.k.a Mystified) on Sep 28, 18:04 in response to Lucky856's post Look at numbers, spoof movies don't bomb

Spoof Movies do bomb. You're using certain ones, but the vast majority including Epic Movie (40 million) , Disaster Movie (14 million) and Meet the Spartans (Which you said made 80 million? Yahoo movies states that its final box office was only a mere 40 million.) These are good I suppose and I didn't actually mean all spoof movies bomb, but rather I meant with critics they bomb and with most audiences besides the teen type. The movie has a universal framework that most college students and this generation will be going to see to either say, "wow the facebook movie sucked" or, "that was awesome."

And actually, current trackings show that Social Network has tremendous pre buzz. Check twitter and search for "social network." Check facebook and see the people who are "attending" the movie via the official page.

Why are RS's numbers reported as ranges and not whole numbers? Arcsol Sep 27, 10:17

It's only within the last month or two that they've started being reported here as ranges. Before that is was always a single number. shadowking Sep 27, 12:52

ARMOND WHITE ENTERS WITH NEGATIVE REVIEW: NOW GO SEE IT! Krubino Sep 29, 17:35

If it does OVERperform, it will not be due to those reasons. darknightz Sep 28, 16:10

I suppose all I can say is we'll see. Krubino Sep 28, 16:17
