Who will pull in the biggest box office haul this weekend? Beyonce? Jamie Foxx? Date movie?

Soloist. 2 bigger stars. 2 AA winners. B has her fans but I don't think that'll be enough to overtake Ray and Fake Brotha.

i thought so too, until all the girls at work said they were going to see Obsessed this weekend. Girls like to see catfights. Boys like to see two hot girls. Can't to see if its even close.

Beyonce's no talkin' ass is enough for me to never see any movie she's in even though I am in love with both Idris Alba and Ali Larter. I'll be seeing The Soloist.

Well, yeah, ya got a point there.

Jamie Foxx

someone would have to pay ME to watch Beyonce

Some girls ...

NOT this girl

I think the Soloist will generally stand or fall on audience review, so I see it hitting its stride a bit later than opening weekend... assuming it's good.

On the other hand, I think all kinds of folk will run out to see Obsessed right away. Folk love a train wreck.

I really want to see that movie.

I think enough ridiculous mf's will see Obsessed. Just like people think enough of Beyonkaswank to keep putting her in movies, mf's will continue to see her in them Even Idris' FINE ASS can't make me sit through that shit!

But I'll check out The Soloist

both them shits will be out on DVD soon enough...but I probably will go see Fighting, it looks like a good, senseless, beat the shit outta each other flick and it probably took all day to make, so I'll likely be entertained...

That movie looks a mess, but there's something off-putting in the trailer when Terrance Howard asks ol' dude, "You wanna make some money?" It's just too weird in a picking up trade kinda way. It was prolly done on purpose tho cuz all those pics with too many cute dudes have a homoerotic subtext like the Too Fast Too Furious movies to draw in the gays.

I dont like where you're going with this...meet me in a hotel room at 3 am and we'll talk about it...

Obsessed just comes off as a predictable movie.... better to see it on cable.

But, I'd rather see OBSESSED because I may be too BORED watching the SOLOIST. Actually I think Mickey Rourke's new movie with Kim Bassinger and Winona Ryder looks more EXCITING The INFORMER!

not this one

roodboi said:

whats that? A line from Fast and the Furious?

just go see Adventureland

Looking at the final weekend box office results, it wasn't much of a contest.

Yeah, and I saw The Soloist and the theater was packed...but it ONLY pulled in about 9? Wow.

The Soloist has to be playing in fewer theaters.

^Maybe that's why the Soloist ended up at #4? Which isnt bad but I do wonder if it would have done better if Jamie Foxx hadnt made those comments about Miley. Alot of people upset over what he said and some vowed not to see the movie becuz of that. Wonder if that had anything to do with the turnout for his movie.

The Soloist - plays on close to 2,200 screens at 2,024 theaters

MuthaFunka said:

How does that compare with Obsessed? (too lazy to look it up )

Here Obsessed is on twice as many screens, and this movie would dominate in the teen/horny guy wants to see a catfight demographic.

paintedlady said:

Obsessed - approximately 3,000 screens at 2,514 theaters. She just had a bigger fan base to draw from.

MuthaFunka said:

I knew it would come to this...

Anyone bothered by that was NOT planning to see this movie anyway, trust me
