I also got right the limited opening of Inside Llewyn Davis. Looks like I do dig dramas.
This week we have four openings. Two more movies have been considered (Justin Bieber's Belive, Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), but they open in less than 1000 theaters. Or, they include Bieber.
TUESDAY: My shots per theater!
FRIDAY: All shots!
FINALLY: Official numbers!
Paramount finally released official numbers of their movies.

KEANU REEVE_ AND THE QUE_T TO FIND THE MI__ING _E_
This one, 47 Ronin, is an action PG-13 movie, from Universal.
I like the snake lady from the trailer. I like Keanu's beard. I don't think this movie is needed in the marketplace. If it was based on a famous literature book or on a popular comic book, it could stand a chance.
Two/three years ago the movie version of Tekken emerged (Tekken is perceived as the best martial arts game). It enjoyed a short limited run and then went to home market. The latest movie of Mr. Reeves, Man of Tai Chi, met the same fate. Why?
Kung fu, dragons, swords: it feels like a children's tale. Pirates, superheroes, giant robots fighting aliens -- these stories are grounded in real locations. Americans are one of top practical nations in the world, they resonate with that type of practicality, responsible fun. This movie doesn't deliver, it is reflected in my shot.

AN ARRIVAL 20 YEARS LATE
This one, Grudge Match, is a comedy PG-13 movie, from Warner Bros.
A sentimental approach is probably the second thing, after enjoying children's tales with live actors, Americans don't want to admit openly. This year we got lots of proofs for that: The Last Stand, A Good Day to Die Hard, Escape Plan. I think this movie will open in a financial middle of them. It won't be low, because it doesn't feel forced. Both Stallone and de Niro look happy (as in the poster above), this joy should drive some fans into theaters. Of course, it would do a lot better 20 years ago, when these gentlemen were in a better shape.

DOES A SOCIETY EVER CHANGE? A CULTURAL ESSAY, OF SORT
This one, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, is an adventure PG movie, from Fox.
In 1947, just after the Second World War, people lived in a great hurry and tension. The world was throwing away a war burden, economy sprung up, the Russian Bear got his head up. Sex sold, men daydreamt about movie girls.
In 2013, just after the financial crash of 2009, people lived in a great hurry and tension. The world was throwing away a crisis burden, economy sprung up, the China Dragon got his head up. Sex sold, men daydreamt about movie and tv girls.
In 1947, movies served as the only source of girls.
In 2013, we don't need to climb a mountain, drive a race car at 100 mph, swim a river full of piranhas. We have internet. We can blog. We daydream in social media.
This movie is about sentiment as much as the previous one. I predict a similar but lower opening. Why lower? Comedy is more interesting, easier to sell, than high brow adventure movie.

I HAVE JUST TOLD THEM A PERSIAN GULF INVESTOR BOUGHT THE COMPANY
This one, The Wolf of Wall Street, is a drama R movie, from Paramount.
This is another movie of Oscars' sucker season. That audience should be a steady one, and go see all movies that participate in an Awards' race this time. So I simply copied the opening of American Hustle, then added a bit as a polite bow to Scorsese and di Caprio.
