Green Zone, reteaming Damon with Paul Greengrass, his director in the last two, very popular Jason Bourne films, earned just $14.5 million in its first three days at North American theaters, according to early studio estimates. That's way below industry predictions (in the low- to middle-$20 millions) and less than a quarter of the $62 million amassed this weekend by the defending champ, Alice in Wonderland, which has leapt like a White Rabbit past the $200 million mark in just 10 days. The Tim Burton-Johnny Depp effort is also a war movie, at least partly, but with...
Universal, the studio that produced Green Zone, had smelled something bad for more than a year. Greengrass and Damon shot their picture during the last few months of the Bush Administration. Then, writes Anne Thompson on her IndieWire blog, the studio's co-chairmen, Marc Shmuger and David Linde, "pushed back the Green Zone postproduction and release to allow Greengrass to find the film - and an ending - in the editing room." The movie's budget was at least $130 million, plus another $100 million or so to bring to market, and is unlikely to return even half that...
...disappointment," Nikki Rocco, the studio's president of distribution, said of Green Zone. Actually, it's a bit of a disaster. It's a smidge of financial calamity. It's a flop of Universal proportions. With a grudging B-rating from CinemaScore's polling of moviegoers who'd seen the film, Green Zone could join Syriana, The Kingdom, Lions for Lambs, In the Valley of Elah, Rendition and the Oscar-triumphant The Hurt Locker in the box-office body count of Mideast war movies. Indeed, the film's opening-weekend tally was almost exactly the same (factoring in inflation...
...Eliotites have access to the back gate, which is across the street from the Weld Boat House. There's the Golden Arm, which is basically a movie theater with five rows of couches that's available in the basement for movie screenings. A dark room, dance studio, and a gym are also available to students...
...that late-night mozzarella stick. Be sure to attend a Pforum, a roughly monthly occasion in which big names from a variety of fields (Daniel Gilbert was one of this year's guests) come to speak to Pfoho after a tastier-than-dining-hall meal. There's a sound studio in the basement for the musically talented, and noise-proof music rooms for the not-so-musically-talented. Plus, there's Pfojo, Pfoho's brand new yoga/dance/martial arts studio. Finally, be sure to check out the sexist remnants of the Radcliffe days, such as three-paneled mirrors in every hallway...
