Hell yeah!!!

I saw it yesterday with some friends and plan on seeing it again on Sunday with Hubby. The theater was PACKED! Whoever said that guys don’t like Kristen Stewart is an idiot. There were tons of guys without any chicks at my theater :)

so happy for Kristen

Lucky you !!! Damn!!! It’s not fair. I haven’t seen it yet. I still have to wait for few days.

Hell yeah!!!! Congrats to Kristen, Chris, Charlize, Sam, and the brillirant kick ass director Rupert Sanders. I have seen SWATH 3 times now, and it’s spectacular.

so happy and so proud of kristen <3

Congrats Kristen, Chris, and Charlize! What an excellent movie! And what an amazing movie for first time director Rupert Sanders! The visuals were amazing. Best CGI out there!

I read some bloggers review about how he only saw bella in the entire movie. What a load of crap! She made the perfect badass snow white. No one else could have done as good or better. Whoever says that snow and bella were played the same is just dumb

I am taking my 11yr old son to see Swath today and he is excited and congrats to beautiful and talented Kristen on a job well done for her first big movie away from all the twilight madness and imo she will have a long,great career in hollywood!

Saw it yesterday and will see couple of times more. It was amazing! Though the script could have been better and the film coule have been shorter. But really worth it! Proud of Kristen!

Congratulations to everyone involved in SWATH! So proud to be a fan. Loved the movie and I will be seeing it again this weekend. :)

Congratulating Ms Stewart! You have now shown the haters that you can pull in an audience outside of the Twilight movies (bc apparently pre Twi movies dont count).

Unfortunetly I think she is going to drop down a step in Forbes actor/actress “most bang for your buck”. With The Avengers and SWATH, Chris Hemsworth will definetely be #1. Kristen will probably get spot #2 for BD2 and SWATH.

There are a lot of big blockbusters this Summer so it would take a lot to even be #1 two weeks in a row, I am realistic enough to think Prometheus will have top honor next weekend but hope SWATH can be #2.

love it love kristen and charlize in amazing as the queen she so evil!!!!

Oh I have no doubt that Promtheus will take the #1 spot next week. But saying that a $55 million opening weekend isn’t that good is just crazy.

What? How?

I don’t know where this is coming from either, pretty sure Hunger Games made over 65mil OW

MIB3 made just under 55mil and they have a higher ticket cost with the 3D theaters. Avengers made 36.7mil. Are you including international figures? If so, they are projecting SWATH at 95mil.

SWATH is projected to make around $55 million US and $40 million foreign. THG made $60 million foreign. Its not beating THG but it’s still damn good!

According to some of the sites tracking SWATH, SWATH has beat the Hunger Games and Twilight.

Only on the foreign market . Get your facts straight

Nope. More new numbers coming and SWATH has already exceeded boxoffice expectations and is on track to beat THG. Look it up on the internet and you can see for yourself.

I can’t wait to watch this.

Lol haters live in their own delusional world.

I will be seeing this a few times.

YEAH BABY!!!!!!!! KRISTEN FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!

Don’t get too excited. It will probably experience a steep drop off next weekend. This is the kind of movie some fans go see but it doesn’t have the mass appeal of a film based on a book, like Twilight or THG. This is a badly retold fairy tale and word of mouth will dampen box office, combined with it being Rotten on RT. And it’s almost rotten with the top critics, too, just 62 percent. One more bad review will put it in the rotten column there, too.

What’s significant is that the audience score has dropped from a high of 90 to 74, so the more people see it, the less they like it. It needs to make over $500 million to show a profit, and it’s not likely to do that. So even though it has a good weekend, it could make back its production budget but still be another movie of Stewart’s that doesn’t make a profit.

EW says: debuted to a solid $20.3 million on Friday, according to early estimates, and is headed for a $55 million weekend.

The result is also a boon for star Kristen Stewart, who had yet to successfully open a movie outside the Twilight franchise. Still, Snow White arrived with a pricey $170 million budget, and will need to also perform admirably overseas to justify its cost.

The top critics do not love it, they’re very mixed and it’s barely fresh. 62 is not a great score, and 1 more review will put it in the rotten column with them, too. The rest of the critics are decided unfavorable, and many point to Stewart’s lackluster performance. She’s getting a majority of bad reviews, and they can’t all be called haters.

As many have pointed out, there is not a conceivable universe in which Kristen Stewart is fairer than Charlize Theron. Even when Ravenna is in need of her medieval Botox injection, she’s still far more attractive than the slack-jawed, sunken-eyed “Twilight” star. But for the sake of the story, I’ll let this ridiculous plot point slide… you have Kristen Stewart, whose once fresh talent has been squandered and ruined…

Stewart is cringe-worthy in this movie, struggling to emote the often overwritten dialogue. She brings her “Twilight” game to this film, falling into her nervous ticks and tells when the script requires her to give something more than her trademarked wide-eyed stare. Through about half of the film, she channels Kevin Costner from “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” attempting a British accent but never quite hitting the mark and then giving up. 7mpictures

What Stewart shows in the daunting demands of a Joan of Arc role, opposing the likes of a monster of guile and evil like Theron’s majestic, entirely ruthless villain, is that she just can’t hack it. CS

…the odyssey from darkness to light is unduly long and sloggy, and Stewart, with her contemporary edge, seems to be acting in the wrong era. CSM

Perhaps the most disappointing thing about this version of Snow White is her transformation from a tender and compassionate girl into a vengeful warrior queen. Sanders even tries to make that operatic but Stewart is unable to make this transition credible.S&P

Stewart failed to become the rebel leader figure necessary to sell the dopey inspirational fight speech she was saddled with, and what should have been Snow’s big moment turned out to be a real momentum-killer. And, as with the Twilight films, Stewart has zero on screen chemistry with her male co-stars, including Sam Claflin… A.com

Only Bob Hoskins as the blind seer Muir comes close to making us care. We can almost glean Snow White’s heroic possibilities through his clouded eyes. As much as we’d like to, we certainly can’t from Stewart’s efforts. Denver Post.

On my way to see it now so excited to see it!

Why do you insist on posting the same crap under different names? Are you mentally I’ll? Do you not realize that we can tell its the same person?

Beauty is subjective. Charlize placed above Kristen on People’s most beautiful list but Kristen placed above Charlize on Maxim’s hot 100.

If you don’t like Kristen so much then why are you stalking her? Oh you can say that you ‘just happened’ to be on RT all you want. But you deliberately looked up the reviews, came onto GC, and found this article. Why are you so obsessed with someone that you don’t like? Why do you post more about her than you do Rob if you’re his ‘true fan’?

Poor, poor nonnies. Could you get any more pathetic?

touchy krisbian – it will drop way off next weekend

Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched. Many films have a good opening weekend and then experience a 70 percent drop off the following weekend. This movie is not THG or The Avengers, not by a long shot. They both got great reviews.

Film freak central summed it up best: Stewart demonstrates that as an actress, she’s pretty interesting installation art, a sucking hole and a blank projector screen at the same time–the Edie Sedgwick of Poor Little Rich Girl and Beauty #2, who might have had something going on somewhere in there, but mostly just stood around looking pretty like, say, a soup can, or a banana.

I confess that whatever wavelength Stewart’s appeal operates on is a pitch I can’t hear, though I have complete confidence that her pale, buck-toothed, gape-mouthed Culkin vapidity is doing what it’s supposed to in Snow White and the Huntsman. I’d like to think that Stewart is an active participant in her exploitation as the world’s palest Rorschach blot, but I suspect she doesn’t know that she’s the heroine in romance-novel cover art: Doomed to be replaced by the reader’s face in her mind, held in some brawny embrace.

I am so proud of Kristen finally she is shinning outside of twilight and people will see her true talent I LOVE KRISTEN AND I AM SO PROUD TO BE YOUR FAN!!

SWATH getting bad word of mouth?? You do realize it’s #1 and has already exceeded box office expectations…

Awwww, are you mad because you nonstens got bitchslapped by SWATH and Kristen? SWATH is number 1 and is tracking to beat the Hunger Games. Top critics are giving SWATH and Kristen rave reviews and poor hater bitches like you have nothing but 2nd grade insults. Go back to your basement and cry because Kristen has everything you never will.

Wow, you are dumb. Can you hurry up and start taking your meds some don’t have to deal with your multiple personalities? While it’s hilarious that you actually think we believe that crap, it makes you look pathetic. And schizo.

Everyone knows that a movie typically drops off around 50% the 2nd weekend. The Avengers went from $207 to $102 million. MIB 3 will go from $55 to $29 million. So we can predict that SWATH will make around $25-30 million next weekend. Plus, like I said before, SWATH opens in an additional 18 foreign territories in weeks 2&3. This includes Canada, Russia, and Australia which are huge territories.

hey Scout above been regeted always in this busines just remember only the good ones[like baby Kristen]get it.

It’s amusing how all these ‘bad’ comments are coming in at exactly the same time ;-)

^ yeah, I’m betting that it makes more than the $55 million this weekend. There have been people all over the internet saying that their theater was completely sold out. Not to mention that people keep saying how they will be going back to see it again!

Promethius is getting better results and will sweep SWATH next week so I would not count your chickens before they hatch. It is number 1 because nothing else came out!

WTH???Did you actually go and see this movie. Bait and switch my arse. I suggest you go see it again and pay attention this time.

Bet it’s the same troll! What an idiot!!

Spoken like a bitter hater. SWATH is number 1 because it a kickass movie.

Look for yourself. SWATH has already exceeded box office expectations and if you have not noticed as new numbers are coming in the numbers are being revised. SWATH is also now a box office hit, and puts Hunger Games to shame. Somehow a movie with a beautiful heroine that overcomes evil is more appealing than a movie about kids being forced to kill each in a “game”. I would also rather see Kristens beautiful face, and not Jennifer’s fat cabbage patch face.

It doesn’t matter, it won’t even make $250 million. It’s Rotten and it’s got bad word of mouth. Those figures you site are just KStew fans tweeting like monkeys on crack, it’s not representative of the general public.

And it looks like Sanders lied about the budget, trying to lower expectations, not a surprise. Several reputable sources have said the budget is at least $170 million.

“Huntsman” — budgeted at $170 million, according to sources, though others peg it higher — will have support this weekend from overseas wickets, as the pic launches day-and-date in 45 international territories
Contact Andrew Stewart at andrew.stewart@variety.com

This article mentions 170 as the budget. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/why-getting-first-doesnt-matter- 330218

There was also an L.A. Times article a few months back that interviewed 2 Universal executives and they mentioned 175 million as the SWATH and Battleship budgets. (Battleship actually ended up with 209M as their budget.)

Just because you don’t understand how the profit margin is calculated doesn’t mean I’m wrong, it just means you don’t understand how it works. Three times the production budget is the normal method to find the profit. Again, it doesn’t matter because this movie won’t make nearly that much.

Why do you care so much? Why do you want it to fail so badly? You are way too invested in Kristen and her life. I suggest therapy.

SWATH will make its money back and then some.

Wtf–First off, when did I ever mention anything having to do with the Twilight films? Second, now that you bring it up, THG didn’t beat the Twilights worldwide (probably because it hasn’t been in theaters as long as those movies have yet) and I never said it did. Regardless it isn’t behind the Twilights worldwide by much. Also, THG killed in the domestic box office since the very first week and if you look at a week to week breakdown, THG has beaten all the Twilights every week (domestically) that it has been in theaters.
Guest1–LMAO! These Twilight/Kristen fans must have either missed math and reading in school or are too young to have had those subjects yet. :)

No one will be crying about Promethius. Pretty much expect it to top SWATH as well as Madagascar 3.We are just celebrating that it is not the failure that you were praying it would be.

I call BS on this one.

my sister and her friends have left the cinema very angry. They were looking forward to see this movie and they think they have thrown their money away.

I am so happy for the entire cast! Way to go Kristen!

1) It’s not us saying that SWATH is beating THG. Google it.

2) If you read the article it says that when the foreign territories that both THG and SWATH were released in, SWATH is set to make $40 million versus THG’s $38 million. And Twilight only made $30 million in those territories.

3) We DO realize that SWATH will not beat THG domestically or worldwide total. But it will beat THG foreign.

4) again, SWATH is being predicted to make $440 to $500 million worldwide. Not $250 million. And this was before Friday’s totals came in. It will probably be going up soon.

Apparently you can’t read. In the foreign territories that both have been released in, SWATH is projected @$40 million whereas THG made only $38 million. No one said anything about domestic numbers like you keep referring to.

THG is in it’s 11 week in theaters. Most movies only stay in 12 weeks. It hasn’t beat Eclipse, New Moon, or BD2. It has nothing to do with it being the first movie because it was promoted just like BD was.

@ChlöeGMortez

Sucha packed theater I had to sit in the front :( who doesn’t do assigned seating anymore?!?

It isn’t the BO Hit you were expecting it to be either ;)

@guest they are entertaining with there supposed victory of only 1 mil from foreign markets although final numbers have not been posted. Let them enjoy that small victory because 400 mil domestic will b itch slap 250 that hopefully SWATH will make. In the end THG wins big time!!!!!! Oh and THG got awesome reviews the same can not be said for SWATH!

WOW!!! I’m sorry if you can’t understand the difference between projected and reality. Those websites you posted projected those numbers months ago. But here we are in reality and opening weekend it looks like it is only going to make $55 million. It will slowly decrease (like all films do after opening weekend) and it will never reach anywhere near $440 to $500 million. To have that amount of money come in it would have to be on par with THG which it is no where near.

@guest and here is one just for fun ;) there are many like this but THEY only see the 2 good ones hehehehe
“I confess that whatever wavelength Stewart’s appeal operates on is a pitch I can’t hear, though I have complete confidence that her pale, buck-toothed, gape-mouthed Culkin vapidity is doing what it’s supposed to in Snow White and the Huntsman.

Oh yipee I bet Universal is breathing a sigh of relief over it’s possible 2 mil victory over the hunger games foreign market. I bet they are not concerned about the 200mil plus THG will beat it domestically then add it’s foreign on top *rolls eyes* So it won a small battle but the WAR was WON by THG!

@Guest1 I liked that one too! ;)

I am the idiot??? The 160 and 250 etc are WW= world wide!!!!!!! No one is predicting 280 mil foreign only!!!!!! Maybe in your pixie induced state of mind but unless you understand what you are reading please do not post it here like it is fact. Those numbers are WW not just domestic!!!!!!! 280 mil for just foreign is your wishful thinking!!!!! Universal themselves are predicting 250 -280 mil WORLD WIDE so are they liars or just stupid and not smart as you with your a grade math *rolls eyes*

@Guest1- THG couldn’t beat Twilight Saga’s worldwide boxoffice. You haters are pissed because you wanted SWATH to fail, and it’s a boxoffice hit. Why don’t you go find a thg board – oh, wait you may have trouble finding one because no one is talking about THG. The day after Hunger Games came out, everyone was talking about Rob, Kristen, their movies going to Cannes, and Kristen’s photoshoot. Hunger Games hasn’t won shit.

“Snow White and the Huntsman” reinvents the legendary story in a film of astonishing beauty and imagination. It’s the last thing you would expect from a picture with this title. It falters in its storytelling, because Snow White must be entirely good, the Queen must be entirely bad, and there’s no room for nuance. The end is therefore predetermined. But, oh, what a ride.

This is an older Snow White than we usually think of. Played for most of the film by Kristen Stewart, capable and plucky, she has spent long years locked in a room of her late father’s castle, imprisoned by his cruel second wife (Charlize Theron). When she escapes and sets about righting wrongs, she is a mature young woman, of interest to the two young men who join in her mission. But the movie sidesteps scenes of romance, and in a way, I suppose that’s wise.

The Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) is a heroic, mead-guzzling hunter assigned by the Queen to track down Snow White and bring her back to the castle. After encountering her, however, he is so impressed he changes sides. There is also Prince William (Sam Claflin), smitten since childhood, and the two men join in an unstated alliance.

The Queen lives in terror of losing the beauty of her youth and constantly tops up with the blood of virgins to restore it. She tests her success with the proverbial mirror on the wall, which melts into molten metal and assumes a spectral form, not unlike Death in “The Seventh Seal,” although its metallic transformation process reminds us of “The Terminator.”

The castle, which sits in eerie splendor on an island joined to the mainland only at low tide, is a gothic fantasy that reminds me of the Ghormenghast series. The Queen is joined there by her brother, somewhat diminished by his blond page-boy haircut, who does her bidding but seems rather out to lunch. Extras appear when needed, then disappear. The Queen commands extraordinary supernatural powers, including the ability to materialize countless black birds that can morph into fighting demons or shards of cutting metal.

All of this is rendered appropriately by the special effects, but the treasure of this film is in two of its locations: a harsh, forbidding Dark Forest, and an enchanted fairyland. Both of these realms exist near the castle, and the Huntsman is enlisted in the first place because he knows the Dark Forest, where Snow White has taken refuge.

In this forbidding realm, nothing lives, and it is thick with the blackened bones of dead trees, as if a forest fire had burned only the greenery. There is no cheer here and a monstrous troll confronts Snow White in a dramatic stare-down. After the Huntsman frees her from the Dark Forest, they are delighted to find, or be found by, the Eight Dwarves.

Yes, eight, although one doesn’t survive, reducing their number to the proverbial seven. These characters look strangely familiar, and no wonder: The magic of CGI has provided the faces of familiar British actors such as Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan and Toby Jones. While this technique is effective, it nevertheless deprives eight working (real) dwarves with jobs, which isn’t really fair.

The dwarves lead them to my favorite realm in the film, an enchanting fairyland, which is a triumph of art direction and CGI. Mushrooms open their eyes and regard the visitors. Cute forest animals scamper and gambol in tribute to a forest scene in Disney’s 1937 animated film. The fairies themselves are naked, pale-skinned sprites with old, wise faces. The spirit of this forest is embodied by a great white stag with expressive eyes and horns that spread in awesome complexity. This is a wonderful scene. The director, Rupert Sanders, who began in TV commercials, is clearly familiar with establishing memorable places.

As for the rest, there is a sufficiency of medieval battle scenes, too many for my taste, and a fairly exciting siege of the castle, aided by the intervention of the dwarves, and featuring catapults that hurl globes of burning tar — always enjoyable.

There is a great film here somewhere, perhaps one that allowed greater complexity for the characters. But considering that I walked in expecting no complexity at all, let alone the visual wonderments, “Snow White and the Huntsman” is a considerable experience.

Another review:
A few years ago, it seemed that re-imagined fairy tales were set to take over cinemas in the same way superhero films did at the end of the nineties. Countless projects were touted, but when the bid for cinematic domination began, the opening shots fell short.

Alice in Wonderland may have made a decent haul at the box office, helped by an Avatar-inspired curiosity about 3D, but it was one of the worst films of 2010 – which is saying something considering that was also the year of The Wolfman, Clash of the Titans and Gulliver’s Travels – while last year’s Red Riding Hood was, amazingly, even worse – an insipid Twilight knock-off that was a combination of incomprehensible story, penny-pinching production design and terrible, lazy performances. And then there was Beastly – the less said about which, the better.

And so we come to this year’s effort, Snow White and the Huntsman. The signs weren’t great – a story by a first time screenwriter, quickly turned around by a first time director, and the producer of Alice in Wonderland, starring an actress whose primary claim to fame is to have spent the last four years chewing her face off whilst lusting after Robert Pattinson. Strangely though, while Snow White and the Huntsman should be rubbish, it’s not. Quite the opposite, it’s sort of terrific.

Hanging off a clever and well constructed screenplay, that touches on the expected elements of the Snow White story without once seeming predictable, the movie is very much the fantasy romp that previous efforts have promised, but failed to deliver. Not only is it well written, but director Rupert Sanders has created a world that feels completely believable, and truly epic. The astonishing production design helps here, but it’s the little details – from waterside villages to moss covered tortoises that really sell it. It’s so rich, that at times Snow White and the Huntsman feels like a live action Studio Ghibli movie.

Stewart has to tread a fine line as Snow White between passive victim and active protagonist, and it’s surprising how successfully she does so. It’s popular to criticise Stewart for a lack of range, but here her performance works quite well. What’s particularly impressive is how flawless her accent is. In fact, hers is the most consistent accent in the film, even amongst the cast members born and raised in England. By contrast Theron’s attempt changes more or less with every shot, while Hemsworth’s attempt at a Scottish accent – presumably to differentiate the Huntsman from his recent turn as Thor – is just a bit odd. It’s also provides for some unintentionally racist subtext, portraying the only Scotsman in the film as a violent drunk.

While Theron’s accent may be a little off, her performance isn’t. She spends much of the film snarling and screaming, leaving toothmarks in the scenery around her. She squeezes every bit of menace she can from the script. The only pity is that’s pretty much the only emotion she has. There’s a moment in the film where the queen is humanised a little, but that sympathy we feel for the character is only fleeting, as within seconds we’re back with snarling Charlize.

The film’s biggest issue is the lack of a sense of fun. It’s so po-faced that at times I half expected Christopher Nolan’s name to turn up somewhere in the end credits. The few comic moments are great, and a pleasant relief, but there simply aren’t enough of them, and the film suffers from it. In particular, there are times where it’s very hard to stay engaged with the movie, particularly when Snow White and her pet Huntsman are simply blundering around the countryside aimlessly. That said, the film moves along at such a fast pace that this is only relevant for a fairly short time, and soon enough there’s something new and exciting to distract us.

Accents and a serious attitude aside, Snow White and the Huntsman is actually a very good film. Describing it as an impressive debut for Rupert Sanders is unfair. This would be an impressive film if it had been directed by Guilermo Del Torro or Peter Jackson. For a debut it’s truly astonishing. Stewart is sufficiently divisive anyway, that her presence will likely upset some viewers, but if you can get over the Twilight baggage, she’s actually rather good, and certainly holds her own against Theron. In all, it’s well worth a watch.

Oh so mature and first she is not my queen but she is a great actress, oh and BTW critics loved her in THG and movies outside the THG, can you say the same about KS? Ummm no we could post reviews all day long about how badly she was miscast but that would hurt your feelings……

Oh wait here is one just for you;)
“If there’s a weak link in the cast, it’s Kristen Stewart, who’s not only a terrible choice to play Snow White (she’s far too gloomy to be considered the “fairest of them all”), but fails to demonstrate that she’s improved as an actor since the “Twilight” series. In fact, the character as a whole is really poorly drawn, to the point that when she dons her armor in the film’s climactic battle sequence à la Joan of Arc, you don’t believe for a minute that she could actually lead an army, let alone a kingdom. Casting Stewart was probably Rupert Sanders’ biggest mistake, apart from the fact that, although the movie has a lot of good ideas, they’re assembled in such a disjointed fashion that the sum is never equal to its parts. “Snow White and the Huntsman” is at least great to look at thanks to some visually stunning imagery (though at times, it feels like Sanders is showing off), but if the movie teaches us anything at all, it’s that beauty isn’t everything”

Jess it kicked TW’s arse in like every category!!!!! Oh I am sorry maybe one or two it lost. And the only reason it lost that is because psycho twihards went to see it like 20 times the critics hate it!!! THG normal fans went to see it and the critics loved it. They did not have to buy tickets they never used just ot inflate numbers!!! Grow up! And mot were talking about KS flipping the bird and getting boo’d three times in the red carpet at Cannes. Yes I would be a proud fan….

@Guest1- For all your kindergarten insults at Kristen her and SWATH still kicked your ass. While you sit behind your computer in mommy and daddy’s basement Kristen is laughing all the way to the bank. Her movie is #1 at the boxoffice, she is #5 on Cannes list of 13 stand out actors, and Kristen is doing what she loves to do. Meanwhile you are a basement dweller, criticizing an A-list actress who has acomplished more the last 2 weeks than you have your whole life. You better get to the mailbox and be sure mommy and daddy’s social security came in.

@Guest1- Eat shit lying bitch.
Deadline has updated their figures and SWATH will win its opening weekend and make almost $100 million worldwide.

Deadline states that it also has the possibility of beating both The Hunger Games and Twilight’s opening weekend numbers. But remember that Twilight was an unknown entity to others outside of fans of the book, was a low-budget indie without the luxury of the premium ticket prices and almost made back its entire budget in the weekend as well.

However, to beat THGs opening weekend numbers or to even come as close as Deadline is stating, would indeed be an upset since it was attached to the premium IMAX ticket prices.

A further note, Kristen Stewart’s Breaking Dawn Part 1 ($705,058,657) also a 2D film, is beating The Hunger Games ($643,692,726) in worldwide box office and will unlikely be caught once THGs finally closes.

***

SWATH opened strong worldwide with more markets to go, according to Deadline. Universal Studios has been having a rough go at the box office with the releases of The Five Year Engagement in April and Battleship in May which both films underwhelmed at the box office.

Deadline states the following about SWATH’s current numbers:

“…Universal’s #1 film Snow White And The Huntsman (3,773 theaters) came in at $20.3M Friday and $55.8M for this domestic weekend. That result is better than expected for the 2D original fantasy. actioner that cost $172M and didn’t have the benefit of a 3D premium or franchise recognition.”

“….overseas Snow White opened in 45 territories and was the #1 movie in 30 territories and especially strong in Latin America and Asia. It will gross $39.3M this weekend, which is on a par with The Hunger Games’ $38M and better than Twilight‘s $30M, for a $95.1M worldwide cume.”

“Highlights include Mexico ($1M at 588 dates and 48% market share), Spain ($900K at 393 dates and 51% market share), Germany ($1.5M at 618 dates in 2 days), UK ($1M at 476 dates and with previews total is $2.6M (where the movie was overwhelmed by Fox’s Prometheus.”

“The UK has two national holidays and school holidays next week and 5 weeks as counter-programming to the Euro Cup, so we expect the film to have a long run,” a Uni exec emailed me. Snow White has 18 territories including Australia, France, Italy, Japan and Russia to open over the next two months.”

“It’s now safe to say that Snow White is breaking the post-Avengers early summer slump which has claimed 5 straight major studio releases so far because the Marvel mega-blockbuster was sucking all the air out of domestic box office. Insiders now expect the movie’s internationalcume to ultimately earn $250M-$275M all-in.”

“We’ll make money with the movie which we really care about. No one can rag us this week,” a Uni exec said to me this morning.

Fans can be proud that their movie is exceeding all expectations. Go here to find out when Snow White and the Huntsman will open in your area.

Oh and you better hope it makes 500 mil to break even and not lose money:
NRG data leaked to Vulture shows that the action/adventure film is tracking particularly poorly with one group that action/adventure films cannot afford to disappoint: men. Only slightly more than one in three males (36 percent) over the age of 25 are expressing “definite interest” in seeing it. More, an internal Universal Pictures memorandum shared with Vulture shows that the studio expects a best-case opening-weekend haul to be only between $35 million and $40 million — a disastrously low number for a film that the studio admits to costing $175 million but which insiders say wound up totaling $190 million. (Add to that another $80 million to market it, and the math quickly becomes a problem: After all, it’s not what you gross, but what you keep. As half of all box office receipts must be split with theaters, you quickly realize this is a film so expensive it would need to gross roughly half a billion worldwide just to break even.) Even if it opens at No. 1, which is likely, it’s not necessarily a victory.

@Guest1- Tha’t what you Kristen haters always and then it’s YOU who ends up eating shit. Kristen owns your pathetic ass. You are on a board about Kristen and her new movie.

Um, no THG did not kick ass in every category.

THG made:

-$67.2 opening day domestic
-$152.5 opening weekend domestic
-$59.2 foreign opening weekend
-$212 worldwide opening weekend
-$247 million foreign total
-$644 million worldwide total (only one week left in theaters)

That means it DIDN’T beat:

-Midnight Releases- New Moon($26.3m), Eclipse($30.1m) or BD1($30.25m)

-Opening Day Domestic- NM ($72.7m), Eclipse ($68.9m), and BD1 ($71.6m)

-Foreign Opening Weekend- NM ($132m) , Eclipse ($71m) or BD1 ($153m)

-Worldwide Opening Totals- NM ($275m), Elipse ($228m) or BD1 ($291m)

-Foreign Totals- NM($413m), Eclipse($398m) or BD1($425m)

-Worldwide Totals- NM($709.8m), Eclipse($698.5m) or BD1($705m)

It did beat-

-All four’s domestic totals.

-All four’s opening weekends.

– And the first Twilight’s records.

That’s it. And THG is only in theaters for another week.

@Guest1 aka nonnie:

Yes, Kristen flipped the papz off at the airport because they were pushing fans and knocking over carts. Johnny Depp also flipped the papz off. So did Rob. What’s your point?

The papz were booing outside the OTR photocall bc she refused to take photos by herself. Those were papz, not the Cannes photographers.

She was not booed at the Cosmopolis premiere. Watch the video. There was an announcement and the papz were boing at that.

Did you know that Rob got booed as well?

Why are you so obsessed with her? Or are you super angry that Rob proved all you nonnies wrong by showing up at two of her premieres, kissed and snuggled with her at the OtR after party, and held hands with her at the Cosmopolis after party? Are you upset that he went straight to her in the theater after Cosmopolis? Or that they were photographed leaving together and arriving at their hotel after you nonnies insisted that she was staying elsewhere? Are you mad that Rob didn’t do what you wanted him to? Like confirm that he was going to work with Kristen on another movie?

Poor, poor nonnies.

Congratulations Kristen on SWATH! You are a rare diamond baby. So proud of you!!

Go SWATH

I’m betting that SWATH makes more than the $55m domestic and $49 m foreign that Universal is saying. They r definetely lowballing the foreign. I’m betting on $60-$65m domestic and $50m foreign. $110-$115m total ww opening isn’t 2 shabby

Im so proud of kristen!!!!!!!

Funny Charlize seems to lose her accent for a third of the movie…and everyone who saw the movie is saying Kristen’s accent was the best.

I’m from Australia! Will watch this at least a few times. Even my friends who aren’t fans of Kristen are watching this because it looks so good.

Ignore people who are criticizing the movie, they’re just Kristen haters who want the movie to fail. Go watch it. I have to wait until June 21 when it gets released in Aust.

Oh really? That’s awesome to hear.

@guest1 Funny because Jennifer Lawrence auditioned for role of Bella in Twilight. She was rejected. Instead Kristen was handed the role, she didn’t even have to audition, the director visited Kristen on set.

So mature. What are you, 14? This is why people don’t like KStew or her fans. They are the haters, they are the first ones to start saying rude things about other actresses they feel pose a threat.

And they should be worried about Jennifer. She’s got an Oscar nomination, a hit film franchise she carries on her shoulders, she doesn’t need more popular actors to prop her up and draw an audience. She gets good reviews and she has star power. This is Jennifer’s year, and next year will be, too. Stewart peaked in Twilight an it’s been downhill ever since.

OTR has horrible reviews, too, but she can go back to the little indie films that nobody pays to see, that’s where she belongs.

JessMarie, aren’t you the one who’s too dumb to recognize a sellout when you see one? The one who doesn’t know the difference between a franchise movie and a studio film?

You never let your ignorance keep you from making a fool of yourself though.

@Malten- Are you done yet? You keep spouting bullshit that you can’t back up. Read the comments here. SWATH is performing better than expected. JessMarie414 provided you actual links to reliable websites that are giving these estimates. No one here is pulling these numbers out of their asses. You act like her fans are making these predictions up. It’s set to make $400mil to $500mil. If the budget is $170mil then SWATH only needs to make $340mil at the most to get its money back. If you don’t like Kristen, her fans, or SWATH you can easily ignore us. This article it’s on the front page anymore meaning that you had to search for it. You idiots are obsessed

Hear this, I don’t understand you. You obviously hate Kristen and yet you know quite a bit about her. Don’t people typically ignore people that they don’t like?

Why can’t you nonnies ever get your facts straight? Seriously. Do you enjoy getting proved wrong all the time?

Panic Room, The Messengers, Into the Wild, In the Land of Women, and Adventureland were not flops. In fact Kristen opened The Messengers herself and it made $56,000,000 on a $15,000,000 budget. And that was before Twilight.

The Cake Eaters and The Yellow Handkerchief were very limited releases. The Runaways was only released in 244 theaters. Welcome to the Rileys was only released in 11. You are trying to compare a wide release to an indie. That’s like comparing Bel Ami to SWATH. It doesn’t make sense.

I realize that you can’t stand that SWATH is doing well but you need to get over it. The predictions are in and so far SWATH is doing better than expected. The numbers match.

I saw the movie twice already–it was that AMAZING! I haven’t seen a film this enchanting since Lord of the Rings!

Oh thats rich. “dont count your chickens before they’re hatched”. Wasn’t it you nonnies who were just saying a couple of months ago how Jennifer L would be bigger than Kristen. Look again sweetheart. It ain’t happening. I guess you did count your chickens too soon.

Here I am at the theater for my second showing of SWATH. I wish I could take a pic and show you all the people waiting for SWATH but I’d have to post it to my fb and I don’t want the idiot nonsten that trolls here anywhere near it. TONS of people!

While Krisbians throw around the word “nonsten” like they’re being terribly witty, they should know it’s easy to spot a Krisbian who has their head shoved so far up KSTEW’S posterior they cannot see daylight…or reason…or logic.

1. They share one brain. They pile on like the lemmings and call anyone who says something that sounds like it might possibly be an opinion, a “hater.”

2. They ignore valid reviews from actual movie critics who aren’t “haters” and have absolutely no stake in how KSTEW’s career goes, and instead act like the wizard: “Pay no attention to those bad reviews! Look! The movie made a whole bunch of money in its first weekend!” and “anyone who says anything bad is a HATER!” Right. Because those critics are all in love with Rob and are totally jealous she’s going out with him. Oh, and “SHE’S SO PRETTY!!!”

Obviously you don’t understand the story. She was trapped in a cellar for many years where she didn’t speak with anyone. She is supposed to be shy, introverted, cold, and distant. This isn’t the happy go lucky princess that sings to animals and smiles constantly.

All viewer ratings drop some. Even if the audience voted 100% you would still find something to compin about. Her accent was perfect and critics agreed that it was the best out of the cast. She wasn’t supposed to be super emotional or talkative.

Yes, EVERY MOVIE drops after the first weekend. This isn’t new to SWATH. The Avengers dropped 50%. THG dropped around 40%. MIB3 dropped 40%. Even the Twi movies dropped the second weeks and look how well they did. So yes, SWATH will drop next week and the week after that. Good lord, you idiots have aboslutely no common sense do you?

THG only has one or two more weeks in theaters. Twelve is usually the maximum. No one is saying that SWATH is going to do better than THG overall and yet you keep getting stuck on that. You say that SWATH will drop 70-80% next week but you have no proof. Once again. The people who flexing the box office numbers disagree with you. They believe that SWATH will make $150 to $220 domestically alone. Thats not even including domestic which has another 18 territories opening in two weeks. And these people are A LOT smarter than you. Once again you ignore facts even when they are shoved right under your nose.

You forgetting that BDp1 and Alice in Wonderland didn’t get the best reviews. And look how much they made.

lmao, at least SWATH didn’t have to use the BD2 teaser trailer to lure in twilight fans. Talk about pathetic.

I saw it yesterday before all the bad reviews came out, I wish I had waited. What I don’t understand about such a big budget film is why the make up was so bad. In lots of Kristin’s close up you could see bags and big dark circles under her eyes.

It was very distracting and it sure didn’t make her look like the fairest of them all. It was especially bad near the end of the film in her scenes with Sam Clafin. She looked haggard, not beautiful like Snow White is supposed to look. Did they run out of concealer? You could also see Kristin’s freckles, which didn’t work for that skin as white as snow thing.

I know this was filmed in the UK, and it looks like she spent every night in a pub and then refused to sit in the make up chair for more than five minutes. Really, when you’re working on a film you should try to get more sleep or carry your own concealer. Flaws are very obvious on the big screen and ruin the magic.

@ Scout-

Please link us where BOM says that In the Land of Women and Adventureland were flops. Please.

ItLoW:
Budget -$10,000,000
Box Office -$17,562,071

Adventureland:
Budget. -$10,000,000
Box Office -$17,164,377

The marketing budgets for indies are very small since they are only shown in a limited number of theaters. At the very most it would be an additional 50% of the production budget.

Example:
$10,000,000 production budget + $5,000,000 advertising = $15,000,000

While it wasn’t a huge profit it certainly didn’t flop.

Did you not see where Ava said The Messengers? That was in 2007 and before Twilight. It did as well as Remember Me.

You are so full of crap. If she was so bad in those movies then why did she get excellent reviews in them? Do you realize that Bel Ami will only be released in five US cities? Does that mean that theater owners didn’t like Rob? Your logic is baffling.

Moonrise Kingdkm premiered at Cannes and it was only released in four theaters. So I guess theater owners don’t like Cannes films either, right?

I’m the one who said that Universal was lowballing the numbers in the other thread. What difference does it make? MIB3 made the exact same amount as SWATH is predicted to and it’s estimate was the same. Right now SWATH is on track to make between $400- $500 million worldwide. You keep saying its lower but you don’t have any proof.

Yes, let’s blame the makeup on Kristen. Totally makes sense since she has complete control over the makeup department. If Sanders didn’t like how the character looked then he could have changed it.

That’s like blaming Rob for Edward’s bad makeup.

You know how you can tell a nonsten troll apart from people who just don’t like her? People who just don’t like her don’t take the time to research things on her. They don’t waste their time talking about her. They don’t pretend to post under multiple names to convince people that she isn’t well liked. Nonsten trolls do all of those. They also can’t back up what they say with proof. They are obsessed with her.

Obviously some of those reviews are anti Twilight. If you are too dense to realize that then I can’t help you. And it’s not just Kristen. If you look at reviews for Abduction, Remember Me, and Water for Elephants you will see anti Twilight reviews there as well. There is a difference between anti Twilight and anti Robsten. Unfortunately Twilight is a joke for many critics and they love to tear it apart any chance they get. That has nothing to do with Rob and Kristen’s relationship and no one here said that it did.

All we are saying is that top critics are there for a reason. And more of them like SWATH than not. Simple. The majority of people who saw it liked it. We aren’t saying that you have to like it.

You keep acting like we are the ones saying that SWATH will be successful. It’s a prediction from experts who are usually very, very close. If you want to hate on the people saying that SWATH is doing well then hate on them.

You know what else nonstens are known for? Not accepting facts or proof when it’s right under your nose. We provide links that back up our story and you still think that we are the ones making his up. Too bad for you. How very pathetic your life must be.

Why is that? Just because of bad reviews? Fuck with bad reviews!!! They are just bunch of losers who were surprised that SWATH turned out what they expected not to be.

Bad reviews or not, no one can stop me and no one can forbid me & see SWATH. What a normal person does is go & see the movie & judge it for him/herself. Everyone has his/her own way of viewing a movie. So if I were you, go & see the movie first before you criticize. If you don’t like it, so be it. At least you have contributed to SWATH’s success.

Men In Black 3 should remain a strong #2 with approximately $29 million in box office receipts, crossing the $100 million mark overall.

I don’t care about the hunger games, the competition in ticket sales, or even twilight–I just want to say that I really enjoyed swath, i was not disappointed with anyone’s acting, the special effects were amazing, and yes, I loved Kristen’s performance-her accent was okay. Seriously, I don’t know why people are hating so much. Isn’t it more logical, less time-consuming, and less irritating to just ignore what you dislike, or, in many cases, despise? Whatever, I loved the movie and that’s that.

They were probably there for Charlize Theron

The math works out to $340 million before it can even begin to show a profit if you insist on using the 2 times the budget formula instead of the industry standard of 3 times the budget. It’s not just the production budget and the promo budget, and this promo budget looks more like $125 million anyway, they flew the whole cast all over the world.

It’s not going to make $340 million worldwide, it’s just not possible.

Well said…

You have to be the only person saying that the vamps makeup in the twilight movies is actually good. I like the movies and I think they are horrible. As for Kristen’s makeup, it’s not her job to make sure her makeup is perfect. The director obviously wanted it that way or he would have told the make up artist to fix it. Like you said, concealer can do wonders. It’s not Kristen’s job to apply her own makeup.

Exactly. While reviews are interesting to read, only the ones from critics, ultimately I decide if I watch something or not. And SWATH I’m coming for you a few times!

Ummm maybe they wanted her to look tired and thin and frail….considering she has been locked away for years…and then runs around a forest? It would be ridiculous is SW looks like some model after she escapes the castle, jumps into a sewer…and is chased by the queens guard. And Snow White is meant to be naturally beautiful…which Kristen is. Stop trying to find imperfections where they’re aren’t any.

Also, Kristen worked 6 days a week, every week until the movie was done. She had long days and nights. If she worked during the day she would get back to her apartment at 10pm. Then wake up at 5am for work. She worked a few nights where she would get to set by 6pm and not leave until 7am the next day. This is coming from her dialect coach and those who worked with her. So I don’t know where these every night in a pub…and refused to sit in the makeup chair is coming from. You are delusional.

^ ignore the first paragraph. I accidently copied that from a list above.

There were several sightings of her in pubs with various actors, while they were on location in the Lake district especially, did you miss them? And even if you have early calls and late shoot, it’s still part of your job as an actress to get enough sleep that you look well rested, not like you’ve been up all night.

SW is supposed to be naturally beautiful, all the time, even when running through the forest. It was just sloppy make up and an actress who didn’t take care of herself while filming. She always had tons of eye make up and drawn on eyebrows, they just neglected to cover her freckles and the dark circles under her eyes.

And the person who said 90 percent of the things in the trailer weren’t in the movie was right, they aren’t. Those trailers were very misleading.

I think you’re one of those who put a high barrier of expectation of this movie and Kristen’s performance and now you’re so disappointed when they are not met. Blame it to the director and scriptwriter. Kristen was just playing SW’s role how they want her to play.

Thank you for sharing your opinion and most of important of all thank you very much for your contribution to SWATH’s success. If you are done, go to the left & move on.

OMG, you guys are all crazy… this is just a movie and kristen was a part of it, that’s all, if you want watch it if not then don’t.. but WTH with you looking box office, critics about stewart? WTH with kristen??

Uh confused at the post. If SW brought in 21 million and MIB 3 brought in 29 million I think MIB is still number 1 until all the numbers are in for the weekend?

I love how the haters come in here to constantly whine over and over again giving Kristen more buzz. Look at the number of comments on this post compared to the Avengers one. These haters want her to go away but they are as obsessed with her as her fans and watch her movies and read every article and contribute to Kristen’s star power. If there was a celebrity that I didn’t like, I would ignore them and not contribute to their star power. So thanks to the haters as well as the fans, Kristen is here to stay as long as she wants to. :)

All of the critics I respect gave SWATH good reviews. That is all that mattered to me.

I like Kristen Stewart’s movies and I have respect for her work, etc. Yet, there is something about her acting technique that makes me annoyed a bit. I call it Bella’s ‘Jake-I’m-so-sorry- I-hurt-you-again’ face, which she uses much too often in her movies.I think the best jobs she’s done so far were in Cake Eaters, Into the Wild and -yes- the part of Breaking Dawn part 2 when she gets pregnant till the end of this movie (which was deeply emotional and she nailed showing it). Normally I don’t watch movies for mass audience at the cinema. I went to see the movie today, though, and honestly, it really is a very decent one. Yeah, I noticed it too, that she did not have a helmet, yet details like this usually do not bother me so much. Those who simply find faults in it, probably themseleves don’t know what they want. Remember that this is a blockbuster Hollywood fantasy movie. What depth do you expect in it? Visual and sound effects are great, nice action, Kristen Stewart gives a decent perfomance, Theron is evil, and a little bit of cheesy dialogue is normal in this kind of a story. It’s a darker version of Snow White’s story, decently made.Just enjoy it, period.

You do realize you look like an idiot. SWATH has been a fucking HUGE success.. Kristen is getting rave reviews, as is the rest of the cast, and many theatres are still reporting sold out shows. Kristen proved yet again, she can bring it to the box office. I know that hurts you haters, but oh fucking well.

The thing about Kristen haters is you can spot them a mile away. You do realize Snow White was locked in a dungeon, and when she escapes, she is on the run, and then getting prepared to battle the Queen. Not to mention the movie is set in a medevial time period when bathtubs and soap weren’t available. I think it would have been distracting if she looked like she just walked out of a salon considering her character is on the run. So funny that one thing the critics agree on is Kristen looking beautiful as Snow White. Maybe when you grow up you learn to appreciate films with substance.

The movie was great, the acting was great, I loved the movie! Kristen was Snow White, this was not about a Disney movie, where she danced around waiting for her prince. How many times must the cast and director say ” that this is not your normal fairy tale”. And in answer to Kristin’s beauty, take your hateful blinders off people and really look at her, she is a natural beauty. I can’t wait to go and see this movie again and again.

Stupid ass Krisbians, the movie didnt get all this money JUST from Kristen being in it. SHE HAS OTHER CO-STARS IN IT. 2 THAT ARE MORE FAMOUS THAN SHE IS, EVEN!!

I agree.

mte! It was HER movie!!

this is getting ridiculous..really? with all the numbers???u hve to get that far???? if u dont like it dont watch it.. it’s like u r obsessed with kristen. she’s just an actress. why u guys treat her like she’s some sort of mass murderer or something. this kind of hatred is not healthy. if u despise her just go away. urghhh. haters r sick

SWATH is number 1 in 30 countries!!!!!!!

JessMarie414 was 100% correct. SWATH has made 56 million so far. You moniker suits you well….DUMBASS

Wow!!! Girl Power!!!

@JessMarie414 – you are soo…ooo right – we’re here in one of Georgia theater – SWATH was full packed!! People all types….from young men & young women to old couples and average couples as husband and I……were all there!! When the movie was over 2 hours later, we still saw a long lines outside started like all over again!! We definitely enjoyed this epic beloved fairy tale with the morden twisted! Need the sequel!!!

Don’t mind the critics! Majority of the viewing audience liked/loved Snow White and the Huntsman and very vocal about seeing it again.

I don’t get how you can sit there and talk about fans of kristen throwing around the word “nonsten” but yet here you are using the label “krisbian” does that make you feel witty? All these labels are childish and of course there will be bad reviews for any type of movie I’m sure your point is valid where some critics didn’t like the movie that falls on the writers and director not kristen so I’m not sure what point you are trying to make. There are some extreme kristen fans who give the rest of us a bad name but you already know that you just want to be childish and hurl insults around. And btw there isnt anything wrong with stating the obvious KRISTEN IS VERY PRETTY!

Foul mouthed cockroach, who is saying it was all kristen? She is getting the most attention because this was a good breakout role for her that wasn’t an indie. Everyone is aware that Kristen Charlize and Chris, the whole cast n crew all did a good job and more famous than Kristen according to who? It’s all about perception to say one person is more famous or in the spotlight than someone else depends on all sort of factors and perceptions. Grow up child.

Bhutan is supposed to be “but he”

Welcome to the club girl. I know you have it in you. You can be feisty if you want to…

Why do I have to wait for few more days? I want to see it now.. It’s not fair.

It’s worth the wait!!! Trust me you will love it!!!

Do the nonstens run Rotten Tomatoes, too? Are you going to call everyone who has a different opinion a nonsten? I’ve got news for you, there are a lot of people who aren’t impressed with Stewart, and they neither know or care about her private life, they just don’t think she’s much of an actress or a great beauty. And all those lists she’s on are because she’s famous from Twilight and has a full time PR person, not because she deserves to be on them. That horrible color block disaster she wore to the Met Ball proves that.

Critics Consensus: Snow White and the Huntsman Isn’t the Fairest of Them All 46%

There’s a good reason fairy tales keep getting adapted to the big screen: stories with heroes, villains, fantastical elements, and lessons on human nature will never go out of style. Still, critics say Snow White and the Huntsman is something of a mixed bag: it’s visually resplendent and full of evocative atmospherics, but it fails to bring its characters or familiar story to stirring new life. The pundits say Snow White is beautiful to look at, and Theron is terrifically malevolent, but too often the film doesn’t quite know how to pull off its tricky balance of fantasy epic and revisionist folktale.

Regardless of what is being said on RT, the fact that SWATH exceeded expectations, and is #1 speaks volumes. You haters need to come up with some new stories. The pr bullshit and saying Kristen’s people paid anyone off has gotten old.

I loved SWATH! and will go back again! I am not a Twilight Fan however have watched Kristen in other movies and thought she was good! She played her part perfect! with her eyes, she showed her emotions! terror, loneliness, hope, fear, and when she was looking for the huntsman, I was looking with her as she found each person! Kristen was amazing! Charlize was amazing and Chris, well, he is sooo fine! I give the more a 10 out of 10!

You obviously didn’t see what 98% of the people saw! a natural beauty – purity from Snow White played by Kristen Stewart! There was not mistake! Fairies are not people! So no I don’t expect them to look tired!

You are a joke..people will not buy the movie if SW didn’t look like she just escaped a castle. If she looked perfect…not a hair out of place you would be jumping down her throat saying if SW suffered through that much she would not look like she just walked off the runway. Kristen can never win.

Agreed.

I guess USA Today and the Globe and Mail employ “haters” too. That’s right, everyone who doesn’t think Kristen Stewart is perfection is a hater. You all sound like you’re 12 years old.

Stunningly shot and inconsistently acted and written, Snow White has enough visual fireworks to keep the film afloat, even if star Kristen Stewart can’t get out of Twilight mode.
Scott Bowles. USA Today

There are many splendid reasons to see Snow White and the Huntsman – enough, maybe, not to care that neither Snow White nor the Huntsman rank high among them.
Rick Groen. Globe and Mail

Not liking a movie is one thing, but trashing the lead actress because you have a personal grudge against her is shitty and uncalled for. Kristen’s positive reviews out weigh the negative ones. No worries. SWATH was a bigger hit than expected, and Kristen is laughing all the way to the bank.

The fact is haters had doomed SWATH to fail, and it kicked ass. How Prometheus performs will not change the fact that SWATH is boxoffice hit, and made alot of people eat their words. For all you know Promethus may not be a big hit in the US.

hooray for girl power!!! :)

to Wtf, a good opening weekend doesn’t mean a film is a hit. It just means it had no competition that weekend. A hit is determined after the film has made a profit.

Come back and brag if the movie makes over $340 million, because that’s the start of the profit margin. Until then, it’s not a hit.

I think Prometheus had an even bigger budget, so it will be harder for that to be a hit, but it will be #1 at the box office this weekend and it did 300 percent better in the UK than SWATH. Numbers don’t lie.

Oh jeez! That is your issue? Her make up? I wonder how YOU would look runnig through a forrest trying to escape someone who is out to kill you. You think she maybe should have looked TIRED? Grow up.

You know when I read your comment about her freckles I watch it again and pay more attention to it, do you even realize the young actress that play as Snow White, too, has freckles on her face?

The audience approval has dropped to 59 on RT, which also makes it rotten. Bad word of mouth, just like some people said last weekend after seeing it. The more people see the movie, the lower the score drops.
