Dream House is DONE in the USA.......... ONLY $34 million total WORLDWIDE in 7 weeks........cost $50 million to make, plus a few bucks promoting it..........another DC losing bomb :!: "The Tattooed Girl With The Dragon Faced Cr-egg" was mentioned on CBS this morning ,with a lot of winter holiday films as well. The reviewer sounded skeptical that such a dark and violent film would be successful on the Christmas/New Year release schedule. Prepare for 2 more USA DC bombs on December 21st. Count on it. These films have STENCH written all over them here. :down:

First things first, welcome to the forum Gala Brand! :)

I how many successful franchises would you say Daniel has under his belt now? At least three have crashed and burned. May not be his fault entirely however I do not think Tintin is close to being a Craig franchises, Jamie Bell maybe. Who knows maybe Craig will do more guesting if the sequel is made.
Despite its respectable start abroad, the movie still has a long way to go before it can be considered a success. The picture cost its financial backers between $150 million and $175 million after tax credits, according to people close to the production. The studios will also spend more than $100 million to market and release the movie worldwide, and about 30% of "Tintin" revenue will go directly to Spielberg and Jackson.
Män som hatar kvinnor might give Daniel a break out side of 007 he desperately needs, so far 2011 was a bad year for him.

Craig is heading up the Dragon tattoo movie so if that flops he has had a poor run.

Happy Thanksgiving to the US people and I hope you had lots of indigestion tablets ready after eating all that food.

They're both pretty big deals(and excuses to eat too much!) but I have to agree- Christmas is the bigger deal-and it's getting showved in our faces earlier and earlier every day. Black Friday(the day after Thanksgiving-a HUGE day for great deals on *everything* ) has also become a big deal. I went by a Best Buy today and there were already people camping out overnight so they can be the first people in the store when it opens. My comment was "It's Occupy Best Buy!" :D

Man Black Friday sucks this year. Last few years I've gamed the sales system online and was able to flip a few games and TVs to make some cash, this years it's slim pickings. Best Buy and Wal-mart had the best deals so far, nothing exciting. The only deal I feel OK about is the 24" 1080p TV I got for $40 after using a $40 gift card for trading my old games in, probably keeping this to replace my old monitor.

A few $200 to $300 40" lcd TVs out but they are the old standards and hard to flip for a little profit. A few $40 blu-ray players too but it the same thing with those. A couple of Xbox & PS3 deals but not enough to buy them and flip them. Maybe all of the sales are in clothing and appliances I'm just not seeing it.


BTW: GoldenEye Reloaded is sucking it hard, Activision has had to spent more advertising it than they will make off it, the numbers are so low people can't get a online game going.
World wide
Xbox 77,699
PS3 73,732
Nintendo DS 66,137
Last years Wii game sold about 1.4 million considering Wii is the biggest gaming system out there something like 90 million of them that kind of sucks too.

DH-2 now on DVD and being sold commercially, so the successful run for the Potter franchise at the theatres is done...........for now anyway............JK may get the itch for one follow up book so who knows if we will see HP and his buddies again in the theatres. A decade of dominance does not fade away without the publisher/movie studios yearning for more of the same. No HP will cause a void in the film industry and it will not be replaced by any imitator to the throne. FBF, buying the blu-ray?

I have it on 2-disc DVD (sold only at Walmart), 3D blu-ray (sold only at Best Buys), and blu-ray/dvd combo with a bonus disk (sold only at Target). Still need to get a regular blu-ray/dvd format, a single disk blu-ray, and a disk single dvd. Crazy, I know. I just feel like collecting HP.

1) has he actually been cast? and 2) ARE THEY KIDDING?!?!?! :shock: For real Q will be WAY better looking than Bond. Excuse me while I laugh uncontrollably. Maybe this is where the problem lies, now I understand. Barbara thinks Q is Bond and Bond is Q!!

Yep, i read the article about the new ''Q' in 'The Sun' today.................strange to see a 'Q' a lot younger than Bond, i mean it takes a bit of belief to think that someone so young would of gained enough knowledge and experience to be a boffin.

This new Bond film is going to be a bit unusual to say the least...........it better be good though!

Incidently, that story about Noel Gallagher meeting EON to discuss a title song was rubbish, as said by Noel Gallagher himself this week.

Another story, apparently in the US you can buy the QOS dvd at Wallmart for next to nothing now............maybe there was a shed load of unsold DVD's due to poor sales when film was released on that market.

You are not Arthur Daley are you Omega! :lol:
Not sure who this is, What I do is try to buy something cheap enough to resell it on EBAY and or trade it in to make a few bucks. Last few year's I've done well, last black firday I got the complete set Star Trek TNG dvd $80 I was able to turn around and sell for $200 + shipping and I got some games from Amazon I was able to trade back 4 months later for double what I paid. It's not a business it is a way to make a few dollars and maybe stay ahead of the game.

'Omega'.....you definitely sound like an 'Arthur Daley' type to me..............well an American version of him! :D

For your reference 'Arthur Daley' was character in a famous British TV programme 'Minder', who was a man who bought and sold goods, in less than legal ways! :wink:

Anyway... i wish i could have things to sell on EBAY!
