Slightly bummed out about Wolverine not doing so well, but I think it looks awesome. I can't wait to see it.
Weak start for Elysium whereas We Are The Millers did better than I thought it would. Jennifer Aniston stripping in the trailer probably brought a few people in. With Elysium the concept just doesn't appeal that much and is one of those films where it is pretty clear the director is trying to push a message on the audience rather than just creating a movie.
Jobs, Kick-Ass 2, The Butler and Paranoia are the wide releases next week. Jobs I was interested in at first but I saw the latest trailer recently and it doesn't look that good. Kick-Ass 2 on the other hand looks quite good, Carrey is awesome in the trailer, never saw the first one but tempted to see this. The Butler doesn't appeal and I doubt it gets a wide release in Australia. Paranoia looks like a movie I would watch on tv if it was on, not one that I would pay to see.
How is it a weak start it went in at number one? If you think Elysium has a weak concept check out the weakness of WATM's concept. And I do have a "how those sorts of comedy are sexist and how miss Aniston should be doing her bit to keep up the female end" rant in the locker, but I am saving it!
Weak start because it only made $30 million on it's opening weekend. It's budget is $115 million compared to $37 million for WATM so WATM did much better in comparison.
