Things happen. Yes. But the likelihood? No.

But I guess people would say I watch alot of "crappy" movies. Whether its based on reviews or trailers.

I have no interest in Annie. And not just this version, but the original too.

I think that the matter that it is making money is horrible.

It's not like it's a huge blockbuster. I'm sure it's way under-performing than what they expected or wanted it too.

Plus people say the same thing about Bay's TF movies. That the world is in a decline and it's so horrible that those things make so much money.

Do you have an actual point MBF, or are you doing this just for the sake of it?

Some movies are just bad, plain and simple: get over it.

I'm having a discussion. Isn't that what this board is for?

I like to find something good in every movie for the better part. Even if i think its a bad film. But a film like A Haunted House 2. That's just awful there. No redeeming qualities.

There is way too much competition this weekend with all these December 25th releases.

I think Into The Woods will finish at #1 (Disney and with that cast you can't go wrong) and Unbroken will slip right under in the #2 spot.

I also think The Interview had a better strategy with its controversy and online release. With that said it will make quite a good amount of $. So in a way it worked out quite well for Sony as it was bound to get lost amongst other bigger releases.

Yep. Plus all the leftovers from the previous month or so.

Sadly for Tim Burton, I don't think Big Eyes will be a hit.

Yep. Mainly due to two things. A crowded Box office and a limited release. Or at least not in that many theaters.
