Often the films aren't even in the 8 figure range. so, yes, pretty low threshold required for the actresses. which means that none of these women are out of it.<BR/><BR/>JOLIE is most in danger (box office wise) if you consider that she's the only one who looks like she's flopping if she has a low number.<BR/><BR/>and that number for LA VIE EN ROSE is actually pretty spectacular. Very few foreign films ever cross into eight figures and it looks likely here.NATHANIEL Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11597109147678235399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-88259106005456584812007-06-24T20:09:00.000-04:002007-06-24T20:09:00.000-04:00I took a quick peek at Box Office Mojo (www.boxoff...I took a quick peek at Box Office Mojo (<A>www.boxofficemojo.com</A>) and noted what is going on as of now with the domestic (and foreign) revenue for the three of the top six consensus picks that have opened to date, in millions of dollars American: <BR/><BR/>"Away From Her"... 4.3 (5.6) <BR/><BR/>"A Mighty Heart"... 4.0 (n/a) <BR/><BR/>"La Vie En Rose"... 3.9 (57.0) <BR/><BR/>Admittedly, "A Mighty Heart" has just opened, but this is still a frighteningly light number for anything featuring Angelina Jolie at this point in her publicity-soaked career. And at fewer than 120 screens, "La Vie En Rose" is looking to receive play typical of art house films in the domestic market. <BR/><BR/>My point (yes, I do have one) is this - does it appear that any of these three will obtain enough traction to contend for a Best Actress nomination next February? A broader question: what, in the current marketplace, would be the minimum domestic take a film needs to score to maintain visible credibility with the acting branch of AMPAS?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-46143984826591620792007-06-24T05:17:00.000-04:002007-06-24T05:17:00.000-04:00So wait...Then if someone had chosen Heigl they wo...So wait...Then if someone had chosen Heigl they would have had 10 points, but 9 and would have been auto. in the lead...I'm soo bored...lol...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-64706993446855366502007-06-24T04:19:00.000-04:002007-06-24T04:19:00.000-04:00Each of them got 1 point for box office, and 1 for...Each of them got 1 point for box office, <I>and</I> 1 for their respective films opening.
