It’s a Bomb no matter how you cut it. This movie was marketed badly. ET promoted this thing for the last month and it had so called Oscar buzz. It went down in flames and the rule of thumb as well as history will show that it will not come back up after such an opening.
I am going by the history of averages and it just won’t come back.
Tuesday you have Jack Nickolson and Morgan Freeman opening “The Bucket List” and that will be huge. People are not interested in serious films right now.

I don’t think it was marketed badly, it turned out to be exactly the movie I expected from the commercials, a funny yet serious movie based on real life events that had larger than life people. I’m not saying it’s going to comeback, there’s way too much stuff being released. The question isn’t did it bomb, the question is why and will said bombing make it harder to get a positive Iraq war movie out of Hollywood.

I’m not sure Bucket List is going to be huge, it’s actually pretty serious, two terminally ill guys living large on their way out the door does not promise to be light hearted fun.

You don’t have an effing clue what you are talking about and obviously have not seen the movie(s). So shut the hell up until you have an educated and informed position on the subject matter of this thread. - FlA
