its their fault they went up against SW when exhibitors warned them not to. {nm} Moviesnob Jan 04, 10:26

On Stern QT said the shoot was delayed with weather problems. It was slated to come out in SEP i remember reading. {nm} lhayes37 Jan 04, 10:31

*remember them saying. {nm} lhayes37 Jan 04, 10:32

honestly, SW is just one of its problems. Its long and it doesn't have brad pitt or Leo. But SW is the big one Moviesnob Jan 04, 10:37

It has the pricklier situation of going up against that Western Movie WITH Leo from 1/8 onward wide. So a pick your poison kind of deal notfabio Jan 04, 11:03

yup, not ideal, but depending on its drop next week, revenant might be less toxic. {nm} Moviesnob Jan 04, 11:55

Maybe people just aren't as interested in excessive violence? jrodm13 Jan 04, 10:30

And especially not during the holidays when they are trying to please their kids. {nm} leo21 Jan 04, 17:32

Also, the film leaked more than a week before its wide release... {nm} UConnHusky Jan 04, 10:36

does anyone here actually change their estimates when a leak happens? {nm} andy007 Jan 04, 11:15

Sometimes I leak a little after a MovieStock Adjust. {nm} pennystocks2 Jan 04, 11:36

if you were to short H8 when it leaked, you'd have made 25% (80s to 61) {nm} UConnHusky Jan 04, 12:16

And, it's also just a pretty average movie. {nm} queensguy Jan 04, 10:41

And if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's butt when it hopped.. {nm} Wayne Cambell Jan 04, 10:45

So this was just some kinda masterpiece that just got steamrolled by awful studio planning ? {nm} queensguy Jan 04, 10:59

Geez, that sudden directors voice over two thirds through. A cabin, wall to to wall ,in breathtaking 70mm. {nm} queensguy Jan 04, 11:07

and yet SW helped all the other movies that came out during the holidays {nm} tealfan Jan 04, 10:47

which were mostly counter programming {nm} Moviesnob Jan 04, 10:53

strongly disagree. other than daddys home, nothing performed well. {nm} islander Jan 04, 10:54

...versus HSX estimates... {nm} ndmaster Jan 04, 11:43

my bad...I was still thinking of Christmas Day when nearly all the openers were a long...at least on that day {nm} tealfan Jan 04, 13:03

but men's rights activists claim their boycott of Force Awakens cost it $4m so it all evens out slipping jimmy Jan 04, 10:54

wait what? LOL {nm} Dorfman Jan 04, 12:33

Did you read the article - There is a group that is trying to get people to boycott movies that no long star white males {nm} JDolphin Jan 04, 15:23

too bad people care more about three days of box office than quality. {nm} islander Jan 04, 10:57

What were they expecting? Other than Daddy's Home, nothing played well over the holidays. they should've held it until 2016. {nm} goodvibe61 Jan 04, 16:13
