You think Pariah will have any BO prospects at all?
It may get some great reviews, but it won't go wide and I doubt it'll make more than $5M.

Same with Albert Nobbs though, I guess...

Precious made $45 million with no big stars. Pariah has the same audience and excellent reviews like Precious. It could be a sleeper in the Oscar race.

Also, the urban market has been rather empty lately. Outside The Help, has there been any black-aimed film released in the past six months? Joyful Noise, Red Tails and this all come out in the next month and a half. This is probably the only film of that lot that appeals to both men and women. Despite the lesbianism elements (something that didn't hurt Precious), it could be a strong date movie. Great reviews and Oscar buzz are a plus too.

I'm tempted to drop Cogan's Trade (has anyone hear ANYTHING about this film? Boosh?) and pick up Albert Nobbs, but I'll hold off for another week or so. I can pick up Albert Nobbs up to the week before, right?

Considering Dominik isn't one to rush things, I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't finished, and to be honest it's looking unlikely to be out before the summer (could be a Sept/OCt release. Let's hope it makes more money than the brilliant Assassination of Jesse James...)

It probably doesn't mean jack at this point, but I'd like to drop Albert Nobbs for Seeking a Friend For the End of the World (4/20).

Albert Nobbs was already released (on Wednesday in New York and Los Angeles), therefore it cannot be dropped.

I think it's time I let go of LOL... I really was hoping this would get released in time, but we only got 4 months of competition left, and I can't wait til the last minute to see it get released.

So I'm dropping LOL for Butter.

Sorry about the confusion, Boosh, I thought Albert Nobbs wasn't out until next week. Oh well. Like I said, it probably doesn't mean jack anyway.

Surfer and W still need to replace their stragglers.

Firstly, I would like to say a big FUUUUUCK YOUUUUUU to the Weinsteins for pushing Wettest County to later in the year.

And then I'd like to replace it with Safe.

Every week I hear nothing about Learning to Fly, with no poster, no trailer and no news, the more I fear it will be bumped.

So before that happens, I am going to replace it with Silent House (which I think has better BO prospects anyway).


LOL... another low-grade horror film with "House" in the title. That makes two on my roster!

Yeah this is the time when changes mean grabbing what's left... and what's left isn't exciting ;)

Well, to the light of its postponement, I'll drop Butter, and grab Jeff who lives at home to replace it.
