Catching up – 2013 01 04 – Promised Land, Texas Chainsaw 3D

January 4 was the first weekend of a new year.

We had two openings.

This one, Promised Land, was a drama movie. MPAA rating was R.

It certainly felt like a TV movie for a slow evening.

In trailer, the story pitch was quite engaging, but conflict was obvious love-vs-job obligations and the lead character was totally bland.

Shots:

I went for 9 mln opening.     (2250 cinemas, $4000 per cinema)
Ray Subers from BoxOfficeMojo went for 5 mln.
Movie Critic Assasins from BreitBart went for 5 mln.

The movie went for 4,05 mln.     (1676 cinemas, $2416 per cinema)

C.S. Strowbridge from The Numbers went for 4 mln.

Bill Bonfanti from FilmGo went for 3,5 mln.

BoxOffice staff went for 3,2 mln.

I had no numbers from BoxOfficeGuru, HSX, Examiner, RopeOfSilicon, ScreenCrave, Shockya.

This one, Texas Chainsaw 3D, was a horror movie. MPAA rating was R.

The trailer was a surprisingly good entertainment. Stylish, crispy, full of gore, as we should suspect. It was not Cabin in the Woods, just straight slasher, but I thought that only could help getting viewers.
