I'd only go for it in Box Office leagues.

I don't want to Woodcock. But I'm far behind in Box Office, and it only costs $3 in August-October Ultimate Leagues. It probably will tank - but at that price my only other option is Sydney White. Already have Good Luck Chuck

I've seen plenty of ads for it. More than I have for Good Luck Chuck, actually.

What he said. I don't think the IMDB folks are going to be very nice to this one.

As long as it does better than the brave one I'll will be very pleased. Jodie Foster annoying anyone else. I caught in the paper the other day that she rented sin city and got pissed because she coudln't believe that people thought child molestation was funny. Other than Jackie Boy getting his head shoved in piss, what the Hell was funny about that movie. She needs to understand the difference between comic books and graphic novels. Either that or she should be executed for retardation coupled with failure to produce talent in her movies.

Yeah, this is the problem...there doesn't appear to be any $3-5 movies with any real BO potential except Chuck and Woodcock. Perhaps the Comebacks, but that will probably tank greater than Woodcock. I think its a conspiracy, really.

I think the comebacks is gonna be amazing. I think this is koechners first lead role and he looks likes he's got it nailed down. Will it beat Good Luck Chuck. Doubt it. But they're being released at two completely different times so you never know.

Re:To Woodcock or NOT to Woodcock, THAT is the question...

I also think The Comebacks will be great it looks funny and David Kochner is great and it looks so much better than Mr.Woodcock.

First of all, The Comebacks is going to be absolutely terrible. It won't be funny at all, no matter how quasi-talented David Koechner has accidentally proven himself to be. And it'll be a huge surprise if it breaks $10 mill. Second, I think Mr. Woodcock might actually prove to be pretty decent. It won't beat Good Luck Chuck at the Box Office, but it should do pretty well. I think the quality will be there as well. I predict it will be a pleasant surprise. Nothing spectacular, but should be decently entertaining.

From my 3 months experience of playing this game I have come to realise that the majority of movies tank. The studios seem to recoup their money on a hand-full of hits, DVD sales, and other collaterals. At $3 and $5 respectively, I imagine that both Woodcock and the Comebacks will tank. However, in my August-October League, Mr. Woodcock will have 45 days to slowly accumulate box office, whereas The Comebacks will only have 11 days to pinch some pennies. Both will have low IMDB scores, and I doubt either will score major PTA or Top 5 points. Hopefully the low Imdb scores will be offset by my filling my slate. and Mr Woodcock is such a funny title *giggles*

I actually wouldn't be surprised at all if The Comebacks breaks $20 million.

I agree. I don't think it will be a great or even goodmovie by any means, but I think it will get a few tickets sold. Merely for their marketing campaign. My theater had this standee, who I assume is Stacy Kiebler hiking a football. I'm sure it will get a few from folks from the high school to college crowd.

Everyone, I think we are about to witness a new point (low) in cinema history. And that is... There is something that is giving Epic Movie a run for it's money as the lowest and most spectacularly crapola movie in cinema's history in the past 3000 years. And that is... The Comebacks.

Re:To Woodcock or NOT to Woodcock, THAT is the question...

I've decided to Woodcock in one of my leagues. :oops: It's the only thing I could do considering I have to make up for DEATH AT A BLOODY FUNERAL...which not only tanked, never even made it in the vacinity of the tank...AND it cost $12...12... Will the Brits ever learn to market film in the US? I doubt it...

Has anybody bashing Comebacks even seen a preview, or all you just ranting on the fact that most spoofs in the past few years have sucked it up. I too thought comebacks looked eh. After the preview I am now eagerly awaiting this movie. And anybody that doesn't like Koechner must be a kammi. He's got to be one of the greatest supporting actor in the comedy genre ever. Think about all the frickin hilarious movies he's been in. Now think of those movies without him. While they will still probably be funny. They would still be missing something. Very important.

That's just it, I don't think the trailer for The Comebacks is anything special. It's not that I don't like David Koechner; I do think he's funny, but one person cannot save a movie (just like McLovin alone couldn't save Superbad -- and I know that I may be in the minority on that one).

Re:To Woodcock or NOT to Woodcock, THAT is the question...

dranscht defintley in the minority on Superbad i loved it but anyways The Comebacks i think will be funny because it has a good trailer and David Kochner is great and this is his first lead role so what the hell i will check it out?

I agree COMPLETELY. After seeing it, the McLovin + police story arc was the only thing I found enjoyable about the movie. By the end I was thinking Jonah Hill was a selfish whiny bastard and Michael Cera was too smart to actually have remained his friend for so long. On top of that the majority of their story line was so overwhelmingly dominated by sex/genitalia that only a drunk high school boy would enjoy it.

All of what you wrote is true, however that is the exact reason why I loved the movie. It brought back high school nostalgia. Especially with the awkward body language and how the "nerd" actually was the only one to come through in the end. Oh yeah, back on topic, I was going to say that Woodcock seemed to end up being a decent choice. The estimates put it int he top five and it got bit of cash. I've read some bad reviews so that might hurt in the long term,e specially with RE, Chuck, Syndey, Eastern going wider all doing business this weekend.

I thought superbad was great. Yeah Jonah was a whiny little shit. You think Apatow did that on accident. It was part of the story. I thought all the elements and personality traits blended together beautifully. Yes the police and mclovin routine was the best part. But you can't tell me Jonah getting his leg used as a tampon wasn't funny. It was effing great. Anyways. The comebacks has more going for it than just david koechner. I've been waiting for someone to spoof the retarted sports movies that have come out lately and the comebacks has I everything I've been waitin for. I mean, they're making fun of radio. Thats frickin great.
