dont forget the first rule: make a good movie (rotten tomatoes scores on those movies: 31(MM), 50(tomorrow) and gravity was a 96) {nm}

Posted by: Moviesnob on May 10, 14:19 in response to lobogotti's post gotcha. personally I think hollywood might stop knocking...

DL preview: MONYM may end up $10M-$12M; 6MRDR hoping for $4M-$5M, but estimates at around $3M Antibody May 10, 13:21

Clooney just has very little draw. It's amazing to me that he's such an A Lister. {nm} lobogotti May 10, 13:24

The film doesn't look that bad, though. Roberts is more of a surprise to me - great actress but not an automatic draw. {nm} RollingThunder May 10, 13:26

They're both past their prime. O'Connell is too young for the part. The story makes more sense if it's a retiree who lost his life savings {nm} Antibody May 10, 13:28

John Q made $72M {nm} lobogotti May 10, 14:05

DWASH was 48, CHris O'Connell is 25. {nm} Antibody May 10, 14:08

yes, I was helping you make your point. {nm} lobogotti May 10, 14:11

Gotcha. The guy is not even married or have kids. No reason for him to throw is life away. {nm} Antibody May 10, 14:13

agree. that said, like Thunder, I didn't think the film looked bad when I first saw the trailer. lobogotti May 10, 14:18

Might even work better to have them reverse roles...older man Clooney loses retirement after listening to next hot star O'Connell {nm} RazorHawk May 10, 17:52

originally when I saw the trailer I thought "maybe this will do well", but I don't know what is considered well in this case. lobogotti May 10, 13:37

Pre-Netflix/VOD/streaming I think this is a movie that would've done well in theaters shadowking May 10, 13:47

Hit the nail on the head {nm} RickandMorty May 10, 13:50

good points, I agree. {nm} lobogotti May 10, 13:52

Older audiences are under-served, but they don't go opening weekends drakkar May 10, 14:30

great insight {nm} lobogotti May 10, 14:33

Yeah, it's telling that whenever there's a Hollywood movie made about old people, it always does well post-OW {nm} RogerMore May 10, 14:48

A listers still are a listers as long as they get movies made. {nm} Moviesnob May 10, 13:51

so Clooney gets this made, but O'Connell doesn't correct? that being the case, I doubt Clooney ever stops being an A Lister lobogotti May 10, 13:54

well, i meant bigger than indie films then. Films designed for a wide and worldwide release {nm} Moviesnob May 10, 14:09

gotcha. personally I think hollywood might stop knocking on his door pretty soon. I look for him lobogotti May 10, 14:16

yes indeed, make a good one. probably telling why Money M has an embargo. {nm} lobogotti May 10, 14:21

cannes screening {nm} Moviesnob May 10, 14:23

I wouldn't be surprised to see him go into politics. Sooner if Clinton gets elected or later if not. {nm} hyperzeitgeist May 10, 14:20

he'd be as good as anyone at it. {nm} lobogotti May 10, 14:22

Except he seems to actually have a conscience. {nm} BSmurf May 10, 17:16

He's an awesome actor but best served in ensemble pieces IMO. Oceans 11 for example. {nm} Hersheybar May 10, 16:50

Clooney is a draw for movies like MIchael Clayton and Descendants. Plus this is too soon after Big Short. {nm} leo21 May 10, 17:26
