Buried

[Utopia]

I wonder if Devil will have the same success as Buried.

According to Box Office Mojo:

BURIED -- Total Gross to Date $489,000
DEVIL -- Total Gross to Date $39,499,116

BURIED is in limited release and may benefit from good buzz and end up going wide, but probably not. It's just not earning enough money.

Sorry.

 

[NicklausLouis]

There's always the inevitable DVD.

Oh I didn't mean the box office - I meant the way you raved about it. Seems like it's a good movie and I trust your viewpoint. Is Devil a good story like this one?

 

[NicklausLouis]

To be honest, I did not see DEVIL. As far as I'm concerned, THE HAPPENING is the last film I will ever see with Shyamalan's name anywhere in the credits. I used to be an ardent supporter of his films, but murderous air crosses a line in my book.

 

[Utopia]

HAHA ditto. We have a lot in common.

Shyamalan is a genius and murderous air is real!

I saw Buried on Saturday night. It was amazing! My heart was pounding by the end of it. I don't know how people around me weren't shooshing me, it seemed so loud.
I was surprised by how sad it was. I almost sort of cried a little bit when he was talking to his mum, and again right at the end.
I really had my doubts that a movie that takes place entirely in a box could keep things going, but I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Just wanted to give my two cents

Are they showing it in 3D?

They aren't?

I thought that would be the only way to get the young whipper snappers out there to believe they were in the box!!

It just goes to show you that a good story can overcome limitations.

I am jealous of all of you. Living in a small city does have it's disadvantages.

@Cracker Funk I wikified Richmond and it has 200,000 inhabitants! Small!

My town has 100,000 and a 15 screen cinema Bliss...

I guess it's all subjective. 200,000 is small, when compared to LA, Chicago, SFC, heck even Seattle. Anyway, of course we've got the multiplexes. But we have only one (two-screen) theater that caters to indie films, and the movie gods have decided that we are not a big enough market to warrant a print of "Buried".

 

[NickClapper]

Great Big America!

Well, Buried has got a very mainstream release over here... I don't know what that says about our countries...

 

[NicklausLouis]

A wide release in England is about the same number of screens as a limited release here in the states.
