: : I wouldnt be surprised if you all already know this (im not reporting it as news or anything) but I just read on imdb.com that Jersey Girl will be opening the same weekend as The Matrix Revolutions. This garentees that JG wont get #1, so how do you guys feel about this? I know different audiences blah, blah, blah, but I dont feel this was the smartest move.
: : Any thoughts?
: this film could easily be swept away by the matrix. it should be held back a few weeks to give JG and the matrix some space. kevin deserves to have a movie open #1 already
If the movie is expected to generate around 50-75mm with an opening around 15-19, then pitching it v.s. Matrix should not have mattered. Kevin S. is arriving, but the film has to be all appealing to the mainstream
