“Enchanted” figures flat…or over $50 million?
Enchanted was steady but flat yesterday. The new five-day projection tally has dropped to $49,086,000, just a nose hair below yesterday’s figure of $49,198,000. Fantasy Moguls’ Steve Mason, who sometimes tends toward generosity, is projecting a five-day tally of $53 million and change. It be It would be entirely natural for Disney distribution execs to claim $50 million-plus in today’s trade box-office stories, and — who knows? — the real Monday figures may bear this out.
She’s getting my eight bucks (or whatever the price of a matinee in L.A. is) today! So there!
Just be prepared for how wrinkly she is. It’s like Joan Crawford in Berserk.
Kind of shabby numbers for a serious piece of work with entitlement issues and smile wrinkles to prove it, but it’ll have great gams; Anne Thompson said it will, and the rich, old folk at The Academy might even end up awarding it for her perf.
She should do a remake of HUSH HUSH SWEET CHARLOTTE.
Anyone who isn’t an 8 year old girl or a medicated parent or named Ian Sinclair who loved Enchanted please raise your hand.
I’m serious. I kind of hated this movie. Ok, now I’ll go read all the previous threads and try and figure out where I missed the boat.
Ok, I’ve read the other threads and I can see I’m swimming up stream here. Unlike Sinclair who loved Enchanted and who seems to take great pleasure in crapping on everyone else’s birthday cake, I will just chalk this one up to having missed the boat and move on.
I believe Sinclair said a while ago here that Enchanted would find its audience in the hoards of filmgoers who wanted to see Beowulf but were turned away from when each and every showing of that RZ classic sold out.
I’m with you, cj, Enchanted didn’t do it for me and I went in hopeful. My teenage girls were picking apart the plot as we left. Though it did have a few laugh, Adams was delightful and I didn’t mind Dempsey; the script needed a lot more work.
Loved it. The audience I saw it with loved it. I do not do to a movie like this looking to pick it apart, and I thought the perforrmances, the music, the critters, etc., were spot-on. Sure, it’s a stretch to consider Adams for the Oscar, but I don’t really think this movie got the greenlight with the Academy in mind.
I didn’t go into it looking to pick it apart either. I went in with the best of intentions and a love of Amy Adams. I admit I’m not exactly the target audience for this movie, but I’m still surprised I didn’t like it more.
This one just wasn’t for me. They can’t all be winners, right?
Why do you hate all that is good and holy and cute, CJ?
Get thee to a DIsney store! Consume! Consume!
But I thought HITMAN was “neck in neck” with ENCHANTED…
