Movies

Yes, but Ingl B. was a WW2 movie, which appealed to a wider group than a "Southern" that pokes violent fun on Southerners and their ways.

Kind of splitting your audience there, since people from the South may like WW2 movies, but hate to be reminded of their slavery days...

Not many tracking news for X-mas releases... Here's an estimate posted on "The wrap" gardavou Dec 24, 12:53

RS - [LESMS] mid 20's on its way to 130, [DJANG] low 30's on it way to 120, [PGUID] mid teens {nm} Moviesnob Dec 24, 14:35

Thanks. I hate midweek openers... :) {nm} slappydavid Dec 24, 14:49

is that for Tues - Sun or Fri - Sun? {nm} RazorHawk Dec 24, 14:55

doesnt say, but the piece starts with the sentence "On Christmas Day, three more films hit the multiplexes." {nm} Moviesnob Dec 24, 15:16

I'm assuming Fri-Sun. LESMS and DJANG would have a hard time getting to $100m if ~$30m is the six day {nm} RogerMore Dec 24, 16:15

I have a hard time imagining Django opening bigger than Les Misérables, considering advance ticket sales and Django's very hard R-rating.. gardavou Dec 24, 15:47

Tarantino has a following. {nm} elchan Dec 24, 15:55

I understand, and I expect the movie to have good legs too... I just dont see an R-rated western take first place over a musical for X-mas.. gardavou Dec 24, 16:16

and the last musical that kicked a$$ at christmas was? {nm} click999 Dec 24, 16:32

basterds was a summer release... Wasnt it? An example of december western release would be True grit, which, with a softer pg-13 rating.... gardavou Dec 24, 16:39

sounds like you've got it all figured out. {nm} click999 Dec 24, 16:53

With everyone off school and most off work, this weekend will be like a summer weekend. {nm} Antibody Dec 24, 17:15

Know a lot of folk that want to see it but 3 hrs sitting in a movie theatre is not an option for some. {nm} grammar Dec 24, 16:31

the Broadway version is nice and gives you a halftime to stretch your legs, use the restroom, get a coctail (alcoholic beverage) {nm} RazorHawk Dec 24, 16:44

BSTRD opened at $38M. Only one musical beat that and it was a teen-targeted TV show. Antibody Dec 24, 16:05

The Afro-Am audience should make up for it. {nm} Antibody Dec 24, 16:43

gardavou, you are completely wrong about... {nm} bloopster Dec 24, 17:14
