The moviebloggers were atwitter today as the Jackie Chan/Jet Li action pic edged out Sarah Marshall, which many were predicting to triumph. Forbidden Kingdom, which got a rave by AO Scott, is much more audience-friendly than the Peter Pan rom/com. We’ll see if the exuberant kung-fu flick finishes at number one. I’m not seeing how any target demo kid passes up Jackie Chan.
Will see KINGDOM. Please everyone go see MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS…..it’s wonderful. Charles Taylor, Zacharek’s hubby told me “NOT TO MISS.” He is so right. Don’t miss it. See it on the big screen. A glory to look at. Law has never been better, and the cast is wonderful, including Nora….Yes, Nora Jones.
Why would any blogger be atwitter over this? Most box office prediction sites(guru, mojo, coming soon and box office report) predicted Forbidden Kingdon to be number one. Sarah Marshall is having the solid, but unspectactular, weekend it was predicted to have. Since we’re talking reviews, Sarah Marshall has an 85% positive rating(kingdom had 62%) on rotten tomatoes. Sarah Marshall will end up having better legs and will outgross Kingdom in the long run. This weekend did not contain any surprises.
well i wasn’t surprised/but that’s because i mostly go by this..
