He might be repetitive, but I wonder if clashing political views prevent the Obama movie from an IPO on HSX.

I think that's reaching. There's no crystal ball saying which limited release political documentaries are going to break out.

It was a fringe movie, financed by a few radicals--whouda thunk it? Anyway, missed opportunities occur about as frequently as the good ones.

Yeah, high singles for PRUSH, although I think $10M for PRUSH is just as likely. Surprised, a bit pleasantly, by 2016 Obama. Wow. Y'know,

I have ignored 2016 Obama until now. It just seemed like one of those off-tha-radar Midwest movies that get funded by these fringe groups,

ever so often. Now it's a serious contender. Deferring to MCA for this one, $6M looks likely. And I said earlier that HITRN is $10M 3-day &

The problem I see with the week's openers is that they are not targeted for the mass market. I don't feel they should have opened so wide.

The issue, I feel, is not what TIME of year it is, but what kind of MOVIES play during it. I guarantee you if TRFM4 came out,

I think that fundamental truth has already been demonstrated time and time again, and studios are already adapting to it.

Right, but you're using March as an example. I'm still waiting for them to slot movies like Smurfs 2 for AUGUST 31 instead of JULY 31.

I don't think that the studios make enough good movies to fill a whole calendar year. There are always going to be gaps, like late August

Or, I would argue, if they take one of two tentpoles and slot them in those August dog days that are typically occupied by "dumped" flicks.

Or even MALEF, which with its current date may get murdered @ the BO when it's comes out summer 2014.

Want to add, APRTN was a Dark Castle prod, and they never make movies that AREN'T targeted at mass audiences. DarkC's deal w/WB went south,
