He Is Golden

Filed under: Film Flickers > Will Smith

i-am-legend-bigposter.jpg

Despite mostly negative reviews, Will Smith's latest film, I Am Legend, is raking it in at the U.S. box office this weekend.

The movie made a very impressive $30 million on Friday and is expected to take in $80 million total this weekend.

The film's take is good enough for the biggest December opening ever.

Will Smith is the new king of the box office!

Also opening this weekend was the new Chipmunks movie, which also performed much better than expected. That film should take in about $40 million, almost double what had been predicted.

And, finally, Nicole Kidman's latest disaster, Golden Compass, completely disintegrated at the box office this past weekend.

It'll be interesting to see if she can command a hefty payday for her next film. She's movie poison!

    I just saw this movie last night and it is AMAZING. From the second it starts until the very end you are gripping the seat; it is so intense. In fact the only time you will move is when you jump or flinch in fear…and it's got plenty of those moments. No watch checking either– ya know when you get so bored you check to see how long is left in the movie–none of that. He's got to win awards for this movie, his acting is incredible. I would definitely make it a must see this season. If you're into movies that leave you with "oh…my…god…" when it ends…this is your movie!

    Actually, "I am Legend" was very, very well-reviewed for an action/horror film. All the major newspapers gave it a thumbs up. I hope to catch it tonight.

    I just saw this movie last night and it was seriously AMAZING. From the second it starts to the last second you will be gripping your seat; it is so intense. In fact, the only times you will move are when you flinch or jump in fear…and there are plenty of those moments. No watch checking and bathroom breaks for this movie. Your heart will be racing for sure. He's got to win awards for this movie because his acting is incredible. The story is phenomenal as well, definitely leaves you with an important message. It's a must see for the season. If you like movies that leave you with "oh…my…god.." when it ends, then this is your movie!

    I saw the movie and i think it was good but kind of disappointing. I would have liked the story to go more into the "monster humans" but Will was great. The story was just a little empty. It was missing something….

    I think the only reason its doing so good is because you go expecting a big budget special affects story & it wasnt that. So you get stuck their as did I. This movie is such a stinker.
    The first 15 minutes is so slow & boring, The cutting back and forth to tell the story feels out of place, the actual plot has been done ever heard of Resident Evil a virus that gets out of control & makes humans mad with a cure at the end, It was so obvious the director let Will Smith have way to much input in shooting the movie all the akward moments listening to regae, talking to manequins, his doing pull ups for like a full minute just to show him bare chested, Then the most ridiculous part the fact that this brillant scientist cant keep his shit together for 3 years befor becoming obsessed with his stupid manequins yet hes smart enough to make traps & find cures. His being obsessed with the manequin kills his dog. Which was the only likeable character.

    The AP was the only reputable source that didn't give the flick high marks.
    The movie is absolutely SMASHING!
    It is really heart racing and heart breaking. I suggest everyone go to see it.
    LOVED IT

  38. Poison? says – reply to this


    38

    Who else is poison? Santa Angelina, Russell Crowe, Jessica Alba, John Travolta. Big stars don't open movies anymore. They have to be in good films for people to actually want to see them. You know what movie is going to rock this weekend? Juno, a small indie flick with great performances and interesting story line. People are tired of seeing crap built around "stars."
    I would also point out that Will Smith has had quite a string of flops to his credit. I Robot was a terrible failure as was Hitch, The Legend of Baggar Vance, Bad Boys 2, Men In Black 2, etc.

    I'm not a Nicole Kidman fan and i haven't saw the movie yet i just don't understand why Perez has to report false news…go check yourself on the home page of IMDB : Golden Compass is #1 at the box office….

    Re: Poison? – Thats NOT entirely accurate! The Bagger Vance Movie was the only movie to score under the $100 Million mark. In this day and age, if you get your movie to make $100 Million or more , its SUCCE
