Kon Tiki es muy popular!

[W]

I'm going to take practically any limited release, Oscar nominated film for $4.

[Brockster]

And here I was thinking you took it on all of your slates b/c of the shirtless Scandanavian men.

[Chienfantome]

So we're just very few with "At any price". Good.

I literally had no clue what it was about. Oscar nomination, 7.2 IMDb, $4, insta-add.

Pain and Gain is projected to win the weekend with $19.5 m to Oblivion's $17 m per Deadlne. Literally the absolute worst I thought it'd do.

[BanksIsDaFuture]

Does Pain & Gain drop more than 65% next weekend when Iron Man 3 comes out?

[Geezer]

I think it drops more than 70%

[W]

Glad I'm the only ne with Kon Tiki!

[Chienfantome]

No PTA points for At Any Price, I just can't understand NY and LA films buffs. I just can't.

No PTA points for At Any Price, I just can't understand NY and LA films buffs. I just can't.

Well it hasn't gotten good reviews and it does star Zac Efron and Dennis Quaid, so I can understand why everyone would pass on it.
