Um... Looks like R.V. will be a sleeper.

When i saw the Poseidon on Friday at the Manns Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, the showing that i saw was actually sold out which got me thinking that this movie won't flop. Then it got 20 mil, that shocked me and didn't shock me at the same timebecause i thought that it was going to do excellent-but it ended up doing solid in its opening(but a flop and dissapointing nevertheless).

Indeed, it is impressive that R.V. is holding up so well, but I believe it will start dropping exponentially faster when Over the Hedge opens this Friday. Still, a 60 million final tally will be nothing to gasp about.

that is what u call a deception dude. One showing of a movie won't tell overall how a movie will perform overall in a weekend. I saw Poseidon and it was like 68 percent full, then when i saw Mi3-that was about 80 percent full.

Yeah, R.V. has no competition. Good for Robin Williams though. He hasn't had a hit in a while.

Robin Williams' last hit was Robots(if u'd count animated movies).

who didn't see this coming?
after all the hype on how this year was outperforming last year at the box office we expect Crazy Cruise's MI3 and noname poseidon to continue that?
i definately saw posiedon failing... and to a certain extent MI3 (i thought it would make 50-60)

Hell yea, I'm glad that MI3 is still number one, it's still my favorite film of the year, it deserved to beat Poseidon which wasn't that great, I gave it a C. Although RV kinda sucked and it's holding on pretty strong. It looks like no one in their right mind would want Josh Lucas to headline a big movie now that he's had two big flops in a row.

what are you talking about, what was his last big flop before that(stealth, 2005), because GLory Road was a pretty big movie and that was a success and that came out this year.

GLory Road was a success and he headlined it. But if she really means huge blockbuster, then ya stealth. But Poseidon can pick up buisness overseas where Wolfgang Petersen movies had done extremely well. At least Poseidon already earned as much money in its first week than stealth got in total.

Poseidon might actually pick up buisness overseas agree on that.

[i]The Fox release averaged an unlucky $2,165 per location and played almost exclusively to a teen girl audience. Studio research showed that the crowd for Luck was a remarkably high 80% female and 70% under the age of 25. [/i]

And not ONE of them could drag a boyfriend to it? Shocking.

Oh, and Pandya, you can quit saying "cume" now. That word's making me feel all... glandular.

Yea I was talking about Stealth because Glory Road wasn't a big budget movie relying on anyone to bring in an audience, those feel good sports movies seem to do well no matter who is in them, so I don't think that Lucas should get very much credit for that film being a hit.

I don't care, I still like Josh Lucas. I think that he's a great actor.
