Ratatouille

I'm going to try as best I can to make it opening day, but my brother leaves for the Air Force Academy around two days before its release...Not sure if I'll be up to it.

I don't need your sympathy!

I don't know why, but for some reason, I pictured you saying "Bah, who needs your sympathy!"

Weired, I know.

Actually, I *was* going to say 'bah' but decided against it.

Anyway, how does everyone think this will do at the B.O.? I predict a bit of a low opening weekend but I think word of mouth will give it great legs.

I think it will do semi-high opening weekend.

Good prediction!

It seems to me to be a pretty accurate assesment. Word of mouth is always an important factor and those critical raves sure won't hurt.

Hey, I'm currently watching the latest "AFI: 100 Greatest Films" thing. The funny thing is they just went from Sixth Sense...to Twelve Angry Men.

Not too random there, yeah.

Especially weird since the guy they picked to comment on Twelve Angry Men was....John Lassetter, of all people.

Talk about random.

Wow, that's crazy.

And will affect box office. I'm always surprised at the BO in the silly summer season ($50m for Fantastic Four last week!?) so I'm going to hold out on an official guess for Rat.

But if I was to guess, I'd say $30m+ and legs.

Not to sound ignorant or anything,

but what's p2p?

peer to peer

Basically, it means Ratatouille is already available for illegal download.

Oh wow....I didn't know that. How does it happen so fast???

Piracy....*shakes head*

At my school there has been a STRONG crackdown on piracy and illegal downloading (well, supposedly.) According to a pamphlet I read, the university is legally contracted to report anyone who is caught doing this (or file sharing) to the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) or MPAA. (Motion Picture Association of America.) I don't know how much this actually deters people though....since it's so hard to catch anyone doing it.
