My personal opinion: will Universal drop FIFTY SHADES OF GREY after Universal's exec shake-up? Peterlee Sep 09, 17:30

The project's champion Langley is still around and was in fact promoted. {nm} Antibody Sep 09, 17:38

Langley will report to Jeff Shell {nm} Peterlee Sep 09, 17:43

50SHD is an international best seller and a ready made franchise. Shell sees the internationl potential. {nm} Antibody Sep 09, 17:45

Shell could even use 50SHD to experiment with "Premimum VOD". Antibody Sep 09, 18:10

Uni can rename it "Fast Fifty" and make a fortune. islander Sep 09, 17:49

What you're misunderstanding with this film is the demo is female, which is unusual for that genre {nm} Moviesnob Sep 09, 18:27

female couldn't help Fincher's "Dragon Tattoo" to become a profitable film. (MGM said that the film lost money) {nm} Peterlee Sep 09, 18:50

Many female like to read erotic stories at home, but don't want to see erotic movies in theaters {nm} Peterlee Sep 09, 18:52

They had no problems lining up for Magic Mike. The shy ones can wait for VOD and blu-ray/DVD. {nm} Antibody Sep 09, 19:27

But Magic Mike is dancing (lol) and woman are used to enjoying that at stagettes. Pure sex romance is for home viewing imho. {nm} grammar Sep 09, 19:36

So they see it at home, what's your point? It's still revenue {nm} Moviesnob Sep 09, 22:44

is there a woman on this board who loved the book and can tell us if they would be comfortable going out to see the movie? {nm} tealfan Sep 09, 20:53

Yes and no. :) {nm} grammar Sep 09, 21:45

Not lover (too badly written), but huge diff twixt read and watched. DVD might have been possible, but not with a Charlie Hunnam (nm) ladybegood Sep 10, 08:15

adult women arent a consistent audience. take the sex&theCity films for instance. {nm} adrenalin112 Sep 10, 09:15
