R. Scott's four 100m plus grossing flims have been in the last 9 years for four different studios. Before that, lotta flicks I love but not

large grossers. Whether they make money or not, the 100m mark is a nice thing. Tony Scott's flicks have fared worse...in the production budget to box comparison in the last ten years and probably beyond. I like both of their flicks with a definitive edge going to R.

Robin Hood looks good to someone who likes that type of pic. It will be interesting to see how it fares that weekend. It is always funny how this weekend or that is called Doom for box office and then Hollywood plunks down the right movie and suddenly  that weekend isn't so bad anymore.  We'll see if RH can duplicate ST's success. Regardless of all the bad press preceding any film, if it appeals to the public, they will go. They don't hear half of the bad press anyway.

Variety: Surprise! Screen Gems moves "Takers" [TAKER] to 5/14/2010 (opens against [LJULT ]and [RBNHD]) Peterlee Dec 22, 11:08

Looks like Summit and Screen Gems are clearly aren't afraid of RBNHD... {nm} Peterlee Dec 22, 11:09

or they like RBNHD will move. The trailer and poster just say 2010. {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 11:11

Before Star Trek, May Week 2 was a death weekend... lotsa bombs opened that weekend. Remember Mindhunters? {nm} secretstalker Dec 22, 11:14

I Have A Feelng That Letters To Juliet Will Be Moved Up A Week Too. But It's Not RH They Should Fear It's IM2. wrongturn687 Dec 22, 11:28

It just moved back a week from May 7 to 14. {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 11:29

Either way it's still gonna get screwed by IM2. I don't see it drawing in that much of an audience since the female lead isn't a B.O draw. P {nm} wrongturn687 Dec 22, 11:40

I'm betting less than 10mill Opening Weekend. {nm} wrongturn687 Dec 22, 11:42

Made of Honor opened to $15 million last year with similar starpower. {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 11:50

What was the last Ridely Scott movie that turned a profit again? sonic_death_monkey Dec 22, 13:32

Black Hawk Down was sumthin-sumthin'... Regarding RBNHD, there's some wild divergencies in prices on attached bonds, and the movie price Facto Dec 22, 13:49

The second weekend in May almost always has an urban audience targeting film that never really does anything but.... notfabio Dec 22, 14:25
