Percy should open at #2, it only cost $95m, maybe a little more depending how much was spent to promote it. Monday's school holiday should be telling for the future of the franchise.
Percy's opening weekend should take in around $58 to 60m.

Percy did as expected.
$31.2m opening weekend F-S (3rd place neck and neck with Wolfman)
$38.66m Opening Holiday weekend F-M (2nd place, easily beating a close Wolfman)

The Wolfman actually beat it in the 3-day actuals, according to BOM, though Percy was ahead in the 4-days. It was pretty close, though, with less than $3 million between them. Depressingly, the top spot went to the cynical cash-in Valentine's Day. The only bright spot is the certain knowledge that it will suffer a second weekend drop so precipitous that it will make QOS look like Avatar. After all, who's going to want to see a movie called Valentine's Day on February 20th?Mazer Rackham wrote:Percy did as expected.

I think the lighting thief did good against the date movie you have to take you girl to.

Been having a Scorsese run lately, love his flicks.
Taxi Driver - Unsettling but d**n good.
Goodfellas - Great film, I love it.
Casino - Always enjoyable to watch, those three hours fly by!
The Aviator - Should have won that Oscar.
The Departed - Pretty good, but I don't think it's that great.

I'm not enthused by the rumours that he's considering a remake of Taxi Driver, though. Let's hope it stays as just a rumour.stockslivevan wrote:Been having a Scorsese run lately, love his flicks.

Is the lighting thief any good?

From what I've heard, they were recently denied. Given that he has a new flick coming out, it's no surprise rumors try to capitalize on it.Kristatos wrote:I'm not enthused by the rumours that he's considering a remake of Taxi Driver, though.

The story Casino is based on is fascinating.
Joe Pesci plays a character based on Tony Spilotro, and Pesci really does look like him:

Really liked this one. Dafoe was great and I liked Keitel a lot too.

Alice in Wonderland (2010) ** 1/2 out of *****
Tim Burton should have been the perfect choice to bringing Wonderland to life. It became an exercise in weirdness. I would give it a miss until the DVD is in the $5 or less pile.

Re: The Last Movie You Watched
I was wondering about that. The reviews have been good, but Burton's last few films have been disappointing, plus it sounds like they've turned the heroine into Alice - Warrior Princess. LOTR/Narnia-style battle scenes don't really suit Lewis Carroll to my mind.McGee's sister wrote:Alice in Wonderland (2010) ** 1/2 out of *****

My niece is in Peru at the moment and she and her friend Rashme and her parents were going to see Alice In Wonderland-in Spanish! Luckily, my niece is fluent so was able to follow the story! 

Re: The Last Movie You Watched
Just got back from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo-they changed a few things from the book, but overall, I'd say it gets a thumbs up from me.

Amelia, actually very nice. Not a big action film but it was fun and great to watch if you have little girl. It was cool seeing those old planes too
