#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Looks like this is gonna be a big hit.

No scenes at Mission Control of worried technicians trying to deal with the situation.

But a WB exec speculates that with Gravity having a $40M+ opening in October, it'd "create a new window for a tentpole release." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I doubt it will do 800 - 1 Billion box office world wide. But I can see it do 500 - 600 million. For an 80 million buck film thats great.But a WB exec speculates that with Gravity having a $40M+ opening in October, it'd "create a new window for a tentpole release."Sigh...why don't they speculate that it might be a good idea to make blockbusters that is actually very well made!

I'll be the first to agree with you that films these days tend to be unnecessarily longer, but to completely dismiss a film you haven't seen based on its running time is very Cremers, isn't it? It's like saying something looks like a kids movie and then moving on...The greatest westerns ever made all approach the 3-hour mark. If the next Leone masterpiece was made today would scoff at it when you found out about its legnth?Take this as you will, I'm not defending The Lone Ranger really, but it was definitely the best blockbuster I saw this year.

No, I said don't discriminate films because you have issues sitting in one spot for more than 2 hours. Either way, the reason it flopped was right there in your post, it's a nonfranchise with zero audience appeal.There's no room for big budget westerns in Hollywood.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Dave and I saw it tonight, my sister saw it roughly at the same time in St. Louis.I know that Dave, Rene'e and I are in agreement, it's a great film on it's own right.perhaps one of the great achievements ever in Special Effects because nothing feels like an effect. Sandra B is incredible. In space no one can here you panic.George Clooney plays a hero, that's what Matt is, a hero.I felt oxygen deprived in the film.we all stayed for the final scene at the end of the credits, after all Sandra's character Ryan went through for her to see the statue of liberty on the beach at the end with the apes on horse back racing up behind her, wow, just wow.;Im fine with Bullock. But I also think Cotillard could have been an interesting choice.And I am so damn excited for this movie.No she would not, she is incapable as an actress to provide the empathy that Sandra does.

Remains of Nurhachi 0 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 That film was so gay. Sandra is an old cow and far from being a hottie these days. Cotillard would have been epic. Cotillard and her epic rack would have been massive. Would have been a decent boner for me at least.Admin note: Picture removed, user banned.

Brónach 1,301 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Re: The Lone Ranger. I've actually seen it. It doesn't have running time problems per se. It does have different ones, a problem with female characters for example, and a series of details that could be trimmed for a more fluid experience, but between cutting one thing and fixing the other you end up with something of more or less the same length. Around 140-135 minutes it could be and work fine with a simple non-traumatic rewrite and a re-edit. No, we don't need the Rango-ish CGI bunnies.Gravity will probably be the best or among the best big films of the year. Where the summer releases are concerned I preferred The Lone Ranger, which was in an entirely different league from other summer blockbuster entries despite being a big, dumb, cartoony Bruckheimer production, which is interesting.Chaac - who actually likes long films(*), but realizes Gravity is limited in running time due to being almost an animated film that must look as photorealistic as possible and that it doesn't have a complicated story.(*)Provided they don't become boring. The Tree of Life was merely 139 minutes and once the interesting parts were over I felt I was going insane. It was So. Insanely. Boring. On the other hand, the long cut of The Fellowship of the Ring just flies through. What? Is it already over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
