[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8997043, member: 5889"] Since every one seems to be debating what the industry people's are saying, I did a few google searches on the movie just to see what I could find. My goal was not to find reviews of the movie (I think we all agree the movie has reviewed very well) but the articles actually commenting on the movie's financials and success or failure. Here is some things I dug up, in chronological order (ergo later reports should in theory be more accurate). Note I am just looking at what google is giving me, just to get a feel for what is coming up. I won't say one source is any better than another, you are welcome to make your own judgements. Note: My assessment or hit or flop is not based on the titles (which often are more extreme) but what the article actually says. So for example articles that are praising the movie but also says "its unclear whether the movie will be profitable" I put in neutral.
