originally when I saw the trailer I thought "maybe this will do well", but I don't know what is considered well in this case.
if it comes in under $12M I wouldn't think it would qualify as a success with supposed "A Listers".
you'd have to think Roberts got paid $5M for that film and Clooney $8M+? but looks like they kept it low at $30M budget.
DL preview: MONYM may end up $10M-$12M; 6MRDR hoping for $4M-$5M, but estimates at around $3M May 10, 13:21
Clooney just has very little draw. It's amazing to me that he's such an A Lister. {nm} May 10, 13:24
The film doesn't look that bad, though. Roberts is more of a surprise to me - great actress but not an automatic draw. {nm} May 10, 13:26
John Q made $72M {nm} May 10, 14:05
DWASH was 48, CHris O'Connell is 25. {nm} May 10, 14:08
* Jacl {nm} May 10, 14:08
yes, I was helping you make your point. {nm} May 10, 14:11
Gotcha. The guy is not even married or have kids. No reason for him to throw is life away. {nm} May 10, 14:13
agree. that said, like Thunder, I didn't think the film looked bad when I first saw the trailer. May 10, 14:18

Pre-Netflix/VOD/streaming I think this is a movie that would've done well in theaters May 10, 13:47
Hit the nail on the head {nm} May 10, 13:50
good points, I agree. {nm} May 10, 13:52
Older audiences are under-served, but they don't go opening weekends May 10, 14:30
great insight {nm} May 10, 14:33
Yeah, it's telling that whenever there's a Hollywood movie made about old people, it always does well post-OW {nm} May 10, 14:48
A listers still are a listers as long as they get movies made. {nm} May 10, 13:51
so Clooney gets this made, but O'Connell doesn't correct? that being the case, I doubt Clooney ever stops being an A Lister May 10, 13:54
well, i meant bigger than indie films then. Films designed for a wide and worldwide release {nm} May 10, 14:09
gotcha. personally I think hollywood might stop knocking on his door pretty soon. I look for him May 10, 14:16
yes indeed, make a good one. probably telling why Money M has an embargo. {nm} May 10, 14:21
cannes screening {nm} May 10, 14:23
I wouldn't be surprised to see him go into politics. Sooner if Clinton gets elected or later if not. {nm} May 10, 14:20
he'd be as good as anyone at it. {nm} May 10, 14:22
Except he seems to actually have a conscience. {nm} May 10, 17:16
He's an awesome actor but best served in ensemble pieces IMO. Oceans 11 for example. {nm} May 10, 16:50
Clooney is a draw for movies like MIchael Clayton and Descendants. Plus this is too soon after Big Short. {nm} May 10, 17:26
