Box Office Breakdown Jan 8th - 10th

Avatar rules the box office again! But what about Youth in Revolt, Leap Year and Daybreakers? Join me, The Movie Preview Critic, and let's talk about how much they made and what it means for the Movie Future. Remember, we get more of what we pay for, so let's be aware of what the consequences of our box office actions are.

Leap Year original? Three words. Sweet Home Alabama. And even if you argue against that, it really is just the same thing over again.

I don't think Avatar is a sign of hope. Just because Hollywood moves from remakes and such doesn't mean things are getting better. Avatar isn't original in its story, it pushes effects and the effects are what everyone seems to get wowed by not story.

I hope the reason you're on here less is because you've moved onto better things, you sound really tired lately.

Nicely said! Really great points! I never saw Sweet Home Alabama...but I could see this one called Sweet Home Begorra! Avatar is on that fine line...800 million would've been more movie hope, but 1.6 billion or more - that's tiltling the scales a bit to say "Everything is 3-D" As for being tired, a bit. I recorded this late at night and it was more stream of consciousness. I tend to write the reviews first so when their read/recorded I'm a bit more voice-direct-projecting. TMPC is still my thing

You sound very slow in this video.

[moviepreviewcritic]

Haha...good call! I recorded it last night, was a bit tired. I'll have to be careful from now on, can't get away with this kind of stuff :)

Your movie preview review will only be the big green screen?

Or only for Box office breakdowns?

Because I love it when you have fun with the video like in the new moon view with the "Oh shut up already and look at my Abs! Abs! Abs!"

it's these things that adds the icing on the cake in your videos.

For now this is a Box Office Breakdown thing. I'd rather spend time editing on the Pre-Res. The video editing doubles the time. Maybe in the furue the B.O.B will change, but for now, it'll be like this. Thanks for checking!

story for women. Leap Year lends itself to a sub-genre of RC's in that it's a woman driven plot. Sending the message that if there is something that you want in this life, don't wait for it go out there and take it. Now interestingly enough this does fall into some immediate cliches, but not all cliches are bad. If they are applied properly they can be a quick way to get a point across to an audience(and for a 90 minute comedy time is important if we want actual character development).

I'm not sure that I agree that Leap Year is a sign of the moviepocalypse. I haven't seen the film yet, and if I do and it turns out 2 be another cookie cutter romantic comedy coming off an assembly line then sure. But until then I think it's important to note, as you did with Sex and the City, that there have not really been may movies that would motivate a strong female response. Leap Year, as a story of a woman taking her relationship into her own hands, could very well be a very empowering

[KayPictures]

Small compliment on my part, thank you for referring to movies like Leap Year as "romantic comedies" and not just "chick flicks". =)

[AgentFlea]

Seriously? Have you compared the number of none 3d movies to the 3d ones?

[DavySigfusson]

@pikachurox247

Yeah, I would think so, because we live in a 3 dimensional space :D

[SpecterVonBaren]

That is good to hear. I was worried you were over worked with real life or something. I feel honored that you replied to my message.

great the video wont even play, thanks alot youtube

[FTWINZOR]

It's nice to see Avatar still in the lead. Also I think it's good that Michael Sera is experiencing a failed movie which might encourage him to expand his acting skills. If he can't do that, then maybe he should try his luck behind the scenes as a director or producer.

[pikachurox247]

Not trying to sound rude or anything TMPC, but nearley everything nowadays is 3D.

[Hyperfludd]

Micheal Cera might be different in Scott Pilgrim, at least I HOPE SO. I really hope the movie does the series justice.
