So is this going to be another HAPPY FEET over CASINO ROYALE situation? And will I be as angry? Probably.

Bee Movie is tracking big? I wonder if this will be another case of tracking been way off. The ads for it look terrible. And clips of Oprah's faux laughter at every joke Jerry reciting compound this.

Yeah, I'm surprised that Bee Movie is tracking that high as well. I thought the lack of early screeners for a movie like this was a giant red flag. Everyone I know wants to see American Gangster, though. It's going to be huge.

And Burma, I'd gladly take another Happy Feet if you promised me another Casino Royale.

When was the last big kids movie out? August? That's why it will open big. Lack of competition.

Also the advertising isn't aimed at us primarily.

I am feeling absolutely no interest in BEE MOVIE. I am usually a sucker for the ones that look like they could be entertaining (most of the Pixars, HAPPY FEET) but this looks like strictly MADAGASCAR-level dreck. Which is not to say it won't open huge.
And could they have come up with a worse tagline than "Honey Just Got Funny"? Just because it rhymes makes it neither cute nor clever. Ugh.

Bee Movie looks so played out, even my nine-year-old says she'd rather see American Gangster.

Only around $20M for SAW IV?

I think it will do more like $30M - $40M. It's the weekend before Halloween, there hasn't been a "Let's all meet up at movies" picture in over a month, 30 DAYS/NIGHTS has neutral word-of-mouth and it's branded franchise at this point.

By the way gang, Universal put six of their summer/fall releases' scripts up to peruse (AMERICAN GANGSTER, KNOCKED UP, ELIZ - GOLDEN AGE, BREACH, BOURNE ULTIMATUM & THE KINGDOM). You will need a pdf reader plugin for your browser.

This seems like a good place to say that, whereas earlier this year I was defending Eli Roth and Hostel 2, now I would like to state that the Saw sequels are cinematic garbage and Darren Bousman is a terrible director.

The Saw movies are badly executed good ideas. Yet each year, we get another one. Imagine a Saw movie in the hands of a Lynch or Tarantino. Even Eli Roth is far more sneakily intelligent than the Saw idiots.

The Police Academy movies are badly executed good ideas. Yet each year, we get another one. Imagine a Police Academy movie in the hands of a Lynch or Tarantino. Even Paul Verhoeven is far more sneakily intelligent than the Police Academy idiots.

SAW in the hands of Tarantino is called HOSTEL. It's still a piece of crap.

Also, I would love to see Paul Verhoeven's POLICE ACADEMY. "It's ROBOCOP meets the first half of STARSHIP TROOPERS!"

DAN IN REAL LIFE may be pleasant, but that's all it is. If it wasn't for Steve Carrell, it would float away.

Saw 4 will be a lot higher than $20m. Where did Wells pull that number from?

It's called Wild at Heart and Death Proof, and they both suck...

And if BEE MOVIE doesn't open big, can we stop this tracking fantasy?

Luke Y. Thompson says ...

I'm a fan of the first three SAW movies, but the new one is a pale retread -- without Tobin Bell (except in flashbacks) and Shawnee Smith, there's no point.

It's the "Friday the 13th part V: A New Beginning" of the series.

comment #20

BurmaShave says ...

D.Z., you're crazy to hate Tarantino this much, but I'm going to have to take serious issue with you going after WILD AT HEART. That's a mesmerizing film. Palme D'Or winner man. You'd better step correct.

There is no way Bee Movie will beat American Gangster. I am looking forward to AG, as are a lot of people. Washington/Crowe is a good cast; the 70's feel of the movie, and I predict close to $50 million. Bee Movie will do $35 million. I'm tired of Seinfeld, I don't even watch his show that much anymore. He should stick to the stand up and leave it at that.

I have no interest in Bee Movie at all. However I would love to see an animated movie from Larry David.
