BOX OFFICE PREDICTIONS
Now onto the segment we do every Friday, Box Office Predictions brought to you by our friends at AMC Theatres. This is the part of the show where we make our predictions of what movies and in what order will top this weekend’s box office.
Bryan K writes: Hi team love the show! What movie will you absolutely refuse to watch? If Steven Spielberg said, ‘Hey do you want to come over to my house to watch said movie’ what movie would you refuse for?
Edward Lai writes: I’m one of the fans from Taiwan. Love the show ! My question is what if George Lucas was not the one who change the cinematic industry? If the first Star Wars movie didn’t come out at 1977, but instead it came out last year. Will Star Wars still as popular as it is now ?
The Movie Mukesh writes: Hello collider crew, I love the show and watch it everyday. My question is about good and bad actors, I always get confuse when people say this person is a actor/actress, but aren’t they just doing what and how the director asked them. I like to think that there are no bad actors, i think that it’s directors fault that he/she didn’t pull off the best from their actors. For example, if Leo DiCaprio played in a movie, and turns out to be really really bad, that would be the director’s fault that he couldn’t pull off the best out of Leo? Your thoughts?
