It opened in 85 million, right? That means it should be third or fourth...

So what? You think a movie is "better" because 2 million more monkeys went to see it rather than something else? Stop being mesmerized by lists, they're meaningless. I don't give a crap where a film ranks on the box office chart, and neither should you--the only ones who should are the producers and studio heads. Trying to convince me that X2 or Matrix or Bruce Almighty is a great film because it made 50 kajillion bucks on opening weekend is moronic.

Find the word "better" in my post or Jack's, exasperated guy. It's just a rank that means expectation or impression enough in the audience to make them go.
I already know there are movies thousand times better that didn't raise any money.

You're still plugged at the back of your neck.

No, you don't understand, maybe it's because you're foreign and stupid. I meant that you still have your balls plugged into the electric socket in the wall.

I understand, Mr.Redneck. After all, I started the joke; what you can't get is that I was telling your sister's my bitch.

No, you don't understand. I know you are poor and have no education but that's no excuse.
