‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Tracking $60M Bow; Strong Ticket Sales In The South & Midwest
Deadline Hollywood ^ | February 4, 2015 | Anthony D'Alessandro

Nine days before the bow of Universal’s Fifty Shades Of Grey, insiders are predicting that the film is on track to open to $60M over four days, with a huge bounce on Valentine’s Day.

Given how the studio specifically positioned the film over the holiday to capitalize on the mega date night, the question among insiders is whether Fifty Shades is a couples’ film or a girls night (a la when Warner Bros released Sex And The City to $57M in late May 2008). One rival distribution chief believes that young women will hook their boyfriends into seeing Fifty Shades Of Grey, while older women will go in groups.

Mommy Porn a hit in the Bible Belt. If your significant other drags you into seeing this is that a sign you are 100% whipped?

‘If your significant other drags you into seeing this is that a sign you are 100% whipped?’

Or perhaps a sign that she wants to be whipped...

“If your significant other DRAGS you” being the operative term.

There is a perverse element out there. Recall the happy couples dressed up as Mr. and Mrs. Ray Rice during last Halloween? I do. For some folks it’s a lifestyle choice, but for others it’s an (seemingly) inescapable nightmare.

Any time Hollywood tries to do a “kinky” sex movie, it turns out to be an extremely embarrassing flop. Just remember “Exit to Eden” with Rosie O’Donnell in a dominatrix outfit. Sheer embarrassment.

I’m old enough to remember “The Story Of O” and being bored to death.

I’m thinking it has to be the 30 and under crowd. Never understood why Sex and the City was so big... watched two episodes and declared it beyond stupid. What sort of bothers me is the question: is this what is now defined as a “romantic” movie? I’m sure all of us have our favorite of boy meets girl and they fall in love. Adding whips, chains, feathers, peanut butter or whatever is a sad excuse for a truly romantic movie. IMHO.

After I worked so hard to suppress that memory, you go and dredge it back up.

You’re probably right.

I’m an 82 year old grandmother who read the book and found it boring.

An abysmal plot-—and sex,sex,sex.

There is no way I’d bother with the movie.

I didn’t read any of the book, because several of my friends did, and told me plenty about it. It sounded like porn, as it seemed to glamorize what might be called rape, or at least sexual abuse. I have no need to read filth.

Is it this generation’s “Lady Chatterley’s Lover”?
