[remake]

Soooooo many new releases, yet nothing interests me.

[chris_sc77]

Also, dont forget about AUGUST:OSAGE COUNTY (i think this opens on Friday the 27th wide)
they have been advertising that one quite a bit as well and even though I dont expect tit to be huge it should do ok at least with that cast.

No, it is not opening outside of NYC/LA until 2014.

[Batman1980]

Walter Mitty is going to underwhelm at the box office and hopefully end Ben Stiller's desire to be an actor.

[MikeScott]

It will underwhelm due to the premise, IMO. But I think it looks great and hope it does well. A friend of mine that saw it loved it and said it's a total crowd-pleaser. Might have good WOM among audiences.

What kind of movie is this again?

[djgeneral]

47 Ronin - no desire to ever see

Believe (Justin Bieber) - same

Grudge Match - probably will watch on Blu

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - I like the cast, but I heard reviews were bad. If audiences really like it, I might decide to see it in theaters. I'm not really itching to see this anyways, so I'll probably wait.

The Wolf of Wall Street - Really wanted to see this, but I'm not doing a 3+ hour movie (with previews). I'll wait for Blu when I can watch it in the comfort of my home.

See, 3 hours in accompany with a cinematic master at work is like pure bliss for me.

[MikeScott]

I did Blue Is The Warmest Color at the cinema but yeah, 3 hours is generally something I'd rather watch at home. Unless the subject really interests me, and honestly I don't think Wall Street looks very good despite being a fan of most Scorsese movies. Will definitely rent it though.
