If it does OVERperform, it will not be due to those reasons.

Posted by: darknightz on Sep 28, 16:10 in response to Krubino's post ?? It will OVERperform.

Outside of Fight Club and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, I don't see how you can claim that this Fincher is a "well known" director.  The only well known actor in there is Justin Timberlake, and I honestly don't see any good marketing around.  A couple of billboards with white letters saying "You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies".  That's not too special if you ask me. 

Even if the premise is universal, that doesn't mean the movie is going to do well.  Hell, Vampires Suck had a pretty universal premise; just about every person I know hates Twilight.  I will honestly be shocekd if this hits above $30 mil on the opening weekend.  Trailer looks meh, and people aren't going to be THAT hyped to see a movie about facebook.

Maybe it'll get a good friday showing or something, but I don't think WOM will be good.

Why are RS's numbers reported as ranges and not whole numbers? Arcsol Sep 27, 10:17

It's only within the last month or two that they've started being reported here as ranges. Before that is was always a single number. shadowking Sep 27, 12:52

I suppose all I can say is we'll see. Krubino Sep 28, 16:17

Look at numbers, spoof movies don't bomb Lucky856 Sep 28, 17:29

Lots of them bomb, they all bomb with critics, and Social Network is NOT a spoof movie. Krubino Sep 28, 18:04

Doesn't matter how good the movie is, just how much money it makes Lucky856 Sep 28, 20:40

Yeah, that's pretty much all I can say too haha. darknightz Sep 28, 20:41

I appreciate the nice responses. Krubino Sep 28, 21:36

Yup, it gets pretty rough on some online forums; people act all tough and mean but I think HSX keeps it pretty cool. Most of the time haha {nm} darknightz Sep 28, 21:52

No reason to act like an idiot Lucky856 Sep 29, 11:11

^^Krubino's behaviour in this thread was kinda uncalled for and stupid though {nm} DomoI Oct 03, 08:04

Yeah, but then again judging by this weekend, he's not the smartest kid around.... Lucky856 Oct 03, 13:08

Look who was wrong. DomoI Oct 03, 08:11
