Box Office Guru Wrapup: Ralph & Flight Make B.O. Soar

Cai Carney

I absolutely LOVED Wreck-it-Ralph! It is my favorite movie of all time now and I hope the best for it.

Wreck it Ralph was great! Many video game references as promised. If the movie can be in this years oscars for best animated feature I surely expect it to win, the years best animated flick hands down, sorry Brave. I'm torn between if I'd welcome a sequel though, if they don't just repeat the same thing and somehow make an original film have a sequel with further originality then it should be a kung fu panda 2 as opposed to a cars 2 if you can follow that thought process.

Overall, nostalgic film, good job by the voice cast (Reilly was a great fit for Ralph), and well worth the price of admission.

Since I work at a Theater, I know that Wreck-it Ralph will definitely be at the top for a while! That movie is probably my favorite movie of all time as well!!

I saw Wreck it Ralph before I saw Hotel Transylvania the same day...It was like eating the delicious half of a rancid sub first, I'll tell ya what.

What was more unpredictable? Bruce Willis' death, Captain America's new time period or Turbo's identity?

Can't wait for Wreck-it-Ralph. Not excepting it to as good as Brave & Frankenweenie for me. But if it is I like nice surprises.

Let's all hope you're 11 and retarded.

It really is better than Brave in my opinion, Brave was good for what it is, but Wreck it Ralph seemed more Pixar than Brave did.

Or people might actually just enjoy good animated films? But oh wait, that's just absolutely ridiculous.

Snotbag children. No foo foos allowed in "Flight", a MAN'S movie. And the top per-screen average.

So far, so good. Bring on the Bond next weekend!

Good to see that "Flight" made #2, I wasn't sure if people were gonna go for it or not (I'm rather interested myself).

I wasn't sure if "Ralph" was going to really attract younger audiences, due to all of the 80s nostalgia-based humor, but I guess I was wrong: that's a darn good opening! I personally thought it was great fun, and want to see it again at some point.

Nice that "Argo" is still holding up well. "The Man with the Iron Fists" sounds like the kind of film I could wait to watch on DVD, but I'm sure lots of people had fun with it, so more power to them.

Dang, I didn't expect "Taken 2" to still be doing so well this late in the game. Well, it's probably good escapism. Really surprised "Cloud Atlas" is doing that poorly, I remember hearing somewhere that it was highly anticipated.

Still have yet to see "Hotel Transylvania", I've heard it's funny, but I'm kind of iffy about seeing it in the theater. "Here Comes the Boom" sounds like it'll be sweet if nothing else, and "Silent Hill" isn't really my thing. Even though I'm not a big Bond fan, "Skyfall" might be a pretty good time next week.

Wreck It Ralph was absolutely excellent. Flight was very well made. Man with the Iron Fists is a fun homage to classic kung fu movies.

A kid's movie is your favorite of all-time?

Ralph did better than I thought it would! Looks like it will hold pretty good throughout the holidays.

Not interested in anything Disney animation does that isn't hand-drawn animation (or stop motion) because all of their CGI movie are shit (with the exception of Tangled).
