on Dec 28 2006 04:18 PM Dreamgirls has been selling out everyday. The same people who made this movie also made Chicago. Dreamgirls will be big at the boxoffice. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 28 2006 04:22 PM This movie is looking great. COTC has this movie at 87%. The film has made 20 million in 3 days playing only in 852 theaters. Looks like it is living up to the hype unlike Flags, and Babel and other oscar films. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 28 2006 09:44 PM I've already seen Dreamgirls and it was fantastic. I hope it does well this weekend. I plan on checking out Children of Men. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 29 2006 12:40 AM [b]just a question[/b] Isn't Children of Men only limited this weekend?? If so when does it go wide, because I looked it up for this weekend and its not playing anywhere around where I live. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 29 2006 09:30 AM In reply to this comment (#851922) [b]same here[/b] Yeah Children of Men and Pan's Labyrinth aren't playing in my area. Luckily I got to see them both already but it's a shame that I had to resort to piracy to do so. I would've paid to see both movies in theaters because they both deserved it. (Reply to this) |
