Do you think for blockbusters need critics to care, or the general public to just not think you are producing a bad mess (See Ghostbusters as example)? What do you guys think it will do in the long run. 140 Million is my guess with 60-65 Million second week. I'm thinking nearing $270,000-$300,000 million domestically.
Is Ace crazy, and which side is he on?
