I'm not sure what would compel a human being to purchase a ticket to 'Battleship', but then again, I have zero interest in all of the movies listed so far with the exception of 'Dark Shadows', which I have mild interest in.

What interests you about Dark Shadows?

1. The Avengers
2. Prometheus
3. The Dark Knight Rises
4. Men In Black 3
5. The Amazing Spiderman
6. Brave
7. Ice Age 4
8. Rock of Ages

Wildcards
1. Expendables 2
2. Madea gets a Lobotomy(these movies suck, but they draw)

What interests you about Dark Shadows?

I don't know.

I generally dislike Tim Burton movies. It's not like i'm running to the theater to see it, but i'll give it a shot on HBO or whatever, where as I will hand wave these action movies.

You think Total Recall will sell more tickets than Prometheus?

[A Tasty Burgerr]

You think Total Recall will sell more tickets than Prometheus?

Prometheus is rated R, Total Recall is PG-13. That will make a pretty big impact.


G.I. Joe was delayed until March so they can make it 3D if anyone wants to adjust accordingly.

You think Total Recall will sell more tickets than Prometheus?

Yup.

Prometheus is rated R, Total Recall is PG-13. That will make a pretty big impact.

That's why. Hell, I struggled with not putting Prometheus on my list at all.

BTW, are we counting worldwide totals or just USA?

[Cornelius]

Prometheus is rated R, Total Recall is PG-13. That will make a pretty big impact.


G.I. Joe was delayed until March so they can make it 3D if anyone wants to adjust accordingly.

Total Recall is PG13? That's total gayness. Fuck that movie.

And good for GI Joe for post adding 3D, cause that looks awesome!!
