Matrix had roughly $5 million for its opening night previews..

[HEY4QDEMS]

Did Matrix open on a Monday ?

[ewing]

Matrix opened on a Tuesday night of Memorial Day Weekend like T3, I belive.

[Semper Paratus]

Buh Bye Chuckies Angels.

Perhaps it's just me, but it bothers me when they move blacks into roles that were played by whites in the original. James West, now Bosley have been replaced by blacks. Will Smith did a great job as James West, but it did iritate me that they couldn't seem to find any white person to fill the role. I feel the same way about Bosley.

These mega-buck hits leave me cold. It's always how much $$$$$ goes thru the box office. It's a downer to me.

Doesn't anyone rate new releases on their quality?

[dead]

Are there any reviews of Terminator out yet?

I'm hoping it doesn't suck. The first two were awesome.

But now, no Linda Hamilton, no James Cameron, no Furlong.

Plus a chick terminator?!?! It could all go so very very wrong.

I almost want to see the new Angel's movie just to see if Cameron Diaz has officially become a concentration camp survivor look-alike or not... Someone needs to give that girl some hamburgers or something.

Are there any reviews of Terminator out yet?

I read somewhere that the pre-screenings didn't exactly give great feedback.

[My2Cents]

How can they say that "Terminator-3" "shattered" boxoffice records, when it came in 2nd?

[usnret99]

I never have seen Bosley as a commedian anyway, Not that I think Bernie Mac is funny.

[ewing]

Ive seen a lot of positive reviews, they pretty much say it is entertaining and that Arnie has funny lines.

Did Matrix open on a Monday ?

I don't know why, but ILMAO when I read that! ;-)

[Grando Calrissian]

$4 million down, $146 million to go.

[ewing]

Matrix was the #1 preview night of all time and so far it has grossed $550 million worldwide.

Time for "Governator I".

[Hazzardgate]

It stinks.... BAD

[wardaddy]

It's called Social Engineering D.O. and they all do it...even so called Conservatives.

It's the opposite side of the demonize rural whites coin in La La Land.

[ewing]

I'll be back-to the Governors Mansion after the Recall Election!
