"Live Free Or Die Hard" Opening Day Box Office Is In

Posted by antichessclub5423 865 days ago
Live Free Or Die Hard was released in theaters yesterday for those of you that don't know. It ended up making an opening day gross of 9.11 million dollars, coming in just under... Legally Blonde 2?? Yes. This isn't a great opening, but it was advertised for a long time that the movie would come out this weekend, not this wednesday. This might hint that people didn't really even know it was out yet. King Kong managed to get a similar 9.7 million dollar opening wednesday, and it still went on to have a 50 million dollar opening weekend. I think Die Hard 4 is still on pace to make a good 45-55 million dollars this weekend. Even with the huge "Ratatouille", likely to open with big numbers in the 60 million range. Die Hard, with its thus far good reviews from critics and people will likely go on to make a good 150-175 million. If it's lucky it'll get to 200 million. Anyway here are a few top grosses from yesterday.

1.Die Hard 4 9.1

2. Evan Almighty 3.37

3. 1408 2.0

    This movie totally has the feel of a Die Hard movie. Bruce Willis is THE action star of the summer, and has showed no sign of slowing down despite his age. He has plenty of witty lines, and he beats the living shit out of all of the bad guys and GIRL!

    He's tough and gritty, and doesn't need to say fuck every three seconds. The PG-13 rating has not affected this movie at all. It's violent and action packed.

    As for Olyphant, this is the prototype for the perfect bad guy. He's a weak, twisted little man who uses others to do his dirty work. He doesn't have to be tough because his type expects everyone to cower from his cyber-villany! He's the villain for the new age where your power comes from your ability to control the digital world.

    That's what this movie is about. Not what you can do with a computer, but how you can survive without it. Oldtime asswhipping on the next generation of criminals.

    I've seen it 2 times, and I'll see it again before the holiday is over. 5 stars

    The fourth part of the Die Hard franchise brings up mixed feelings in a longtime fan. In short it can be summed up in the words that this is a pretty good action film but not a very good Die Hard film.

    The plot revolves around a group of terrorists (or whatever you want to call them) taking down the computer infrastructure of the United States. A well chosen plot line, considering how much is run by computers these days. The attack starts off small but grows exponentially in its destructive power as the story flows along. Its a good premise but I don't think it was executed to the maximum of its potential. The sense of danger and Armageddon that such a thing would cause isn't reflected too much in the film. This would have added a lot to the film and from Die Hard 3, one can see that a strong plot and storyline carry a film very well.

    All the classic Die Hard characters are there but it isn't McClane who stands out the most. Justin Long plays a hacker who by coincidence happens to be with McClane when the attack happens and he stands out. His witty lines even rival those of the main character himself and overall it is a joy to see him on screen. McClane however is only a shadow of his former self which we saw in the first three films. The PG-13 rating (instead of an R like the first three) has really watered down McClane's vocabulary and if you're a fan of the franchise, you'll know exactly what I mean. He does have some occasional witty dialog but nothing like what it was in the first three. It seems like its just thrown in there to make this film more of a Die Hard film but unfortunately it doesn't work well. Bruce Willis doesn't feel like McClane at all anymore. The villain, played by Timothy Olyphant is exceptionally weak. The Gruber brothers are on a whole different level and even the somewhat lackluster main bad guy of part 2 towers over this guy. He doesn't come off as menacing or threatening at all. He is given some witty dialog but it just falls fla
