and it is famous in Europe among F! fans. Just  because Americans  don't know F1 or the story of  doesn't mean that they won't like it. How many Americans had heard of John Nash before (an american), 'A Beautiful Mind?' was released? Very Few. Yet, his story and theory the most famous in mathematics. His biopic made 170 million.

Hunt/Lauda story is no different. Insprational stroy of rivalry and overcoming odds with a Ron Howard ending. Americans love that kind of film and they will see this film in droves. Last I researched, Americans love fast cars just like Europeans and Ferrari. In 2012 the U.S. Grand Prix was hosted in Austin Texas. attended. In Texas, people don't follow F1, most dont know the cars, the drivers or the history with out the help of google and despite that, 117, 429 people attended the U.S. Grand Prix in Austin last year.

Wow, their NSID2 prediction has been adjusted up to 41M. That's a huge jump, I think it was originally around 25? {nm} slappydavid Sep 07, 07:38

There's a few movies I can watch, but I mostly agree with you on the box office prospects... {nm} slappydavid Sep 07, 08:43

Rush not draw? CHEMS draws. RDAWN was horrible and I think peoplew saw because of him, and perhaps nostalgia. I seriously doubt that one... tatoufan Sep 07, 08:46

Aside from Rush, I agree, looks like another line of dreadful OW's. {nm} tatoufan Sep 07, 08:48

I'd never heard of this rivalry. Friendly wager it won't open wide to $14M? :) {nm} islander: live at wrigley! Sep 07, 14:34

No kidding Islander. I don't know how a rivalry that 95% of the population has never heard of can qualify as "one of the greatest in the... Willroast Sep 07, 18:06

In my opinion, it's not so much that CHEMS is a draw, but rather the movies he's been in. He's been spot on in his choices. Willroast Sep 07, 18:16

Get ready to learn all about it. DL says, "The story is a powerful one ..." Pete Hamond talks Oscars for Rush.. tatoufan Sep 09, 01:32
