4/24 Tracking

I read Earth was just bits of film takin out of Planet Earth and pasted back together to make a feature...

Also read Wolverine was outselling ironman 3-1

I've heard the same thing, I watched the whole series Planet Earth and it was amazing. I would love to see it on the big screen though.

That's true, I really liked it too, but I would just rather pull out my bluray and watch it on my hdtv, than pay ten bucks to watch it with a bunch of loud mouthed school kids

True, I"ll be interested to know who the narrarator is. When I rented them I got some english guy, which I loved. Then they showed them on TV again and it was Sigourney Weavor.

James Earl Jones is the narrator for Earth.

Yes, Darth Vader himself.

Sweet Jesus! Now I can't wait, I'll probably shout out Mufasa if any Lions show up.

Steve Mason's Predictions

"The likely weekend winner will be either Obsessed or Disney’s nature doc Earth, which opened Wednesday to about $4M, but I am giving the nod to recording superstar Beyonce despite the fact that Sony has kept its exploitative-looking thriller completely under wraps."(full article here)

1. NEW – Obsessed (Sony) - $15M
2. NEW – Earth (Disney) - $13.2M

Maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to drop Earth from my Ultimate Slates?

I think this will be Earth's biggest day, being Earth Day and all, but I could be wrong. Either way, Boush was more right, so good call sir.

I got the blu-ray with the british gentlemen imported from UK via Amazon. I prefer it much to Sigourney Weaver. I guess it doesn't really matter in the end, but I prefer the original in most cases, rather than the version they make to appeal to audiences who can't handle accents...I imagine their the same who can't read subtitles...

I too prefer the english guy, his voice was much smoother.

hmm, I actually dont remember which version I have. I guess I didnt pay too much attention to the voice

Its really not the voice that mattered, its the images. Mfrendo your film snobbery is at an unheralded level

Still nothing from Mase. I hope he's just, like, on vacation or something, because now I'm starting to get worried...

Just scroll up shryke

So Obsessed opens huge after all. In fact, the biggest Opening ever for the last week of April. I fully expect, however, that it will drop 60% or more in Week 2. Still, for its cheap price, it's already paid dividends, including 5 Top 5 points and a few PTA (depending on how The Informers, The Mutant Chronicles, Tyson and Treeless Mountain do).

Huge numbers!

'Obsessed' is my only hope of staying alive in the Super Leagues.

Called it! Hahahaha......

Thank god Obessed did well had it on quite a few slates. Makes up for the failure that was Crank:High Voltage.

Those hoping for big PTAs from Informers and Is Anybody There need to go pick up another film because they both bombed out on Friday.

Informers had $228 PTA Friday
Is Anybody There? had slightly less anemic $611 PTA Friday

I'm hoping big for Treeless Mountain

i'm so glad i dropped Informers

Well, at least Is Anybody There got some last week.

Obsessed opening to almost $30 million? Now, I'm not one to brag, but since almost everyone doubted it...

Umm.......... Yeah, I won't say it.
