w00t.

well deserved. aeon flux was a piece of [insert something that your anus excretes].

i saw the movie in an imax theatre this weekend for the second time, and again stayed for another showing for the third time. sitting on your ass for 5 hours isn't comfortable but i'll do anything for potter.

although i'm 100% sure it's not going to beat the records of sorcerer's stone.

the slump is too dramatic but softer than POA! Second week down 48% but 3rd week down 63%
It's difficult to pass 300m in domestic, couldn't last long!
Not like Star War 380m, GOF still depends on overseas boxoffice!

...why would you call Aeon Flux a piece of blood?


Harry Potter was awesome. I saw it in IMAX and almost pooped in my pants when that dragon came out. Crazy stuff.

Aeon Flux definetly wasn't that great. I'm happy that Potter and Walk the Line are still doing well.
