    Side thought: gauging whether a movie is good or bad based on opening weeks in theaters is stupid. I have never gone to an opening weekend and don’t think I’ve met anyone who has.

      Opening weekend doesn’t tell you if it’s good or bad. It does give you a good idea if it’s going to make a profit. This one is going to be a big money looser.

      Of course you have. You just haven’t talked to them about it.
      Odds are good you’ve even met a murderer and didn’t know it.

      This is the most absurd post….

      Opening weekend is all that matters when it comes to a movies success. It has always been that way. There are very few movies where the financial success does not come from opening weekend.
