^American Hustle is better
I hope that David O. Russell finally gets a couple Oscar wins, he so rightfully deserves. One of the top 5 directors over the last several years.

Hey, we live in a world where we have both movies. That's enough by my standards.

Is it too early to call "Anchorman 2" a flop? It'll easily make back its $50 million budget, but I can't help but feel like Paramount is supremely disappointed in pulling in only $56 million for one of the most anticipated comedy sequels ever, especially when you consider how heavily it was advertised and promoted for the better part of the last two months.

The #1 movie in the country has been in theatres for over a month now. That's very impressive, ESPECIALLY at Christmastime, where everything that opened earlier this week is well behind.
ANCHORMAN 2, while having a (IMO) shockingly low opening considering all that marketing and hype, is doing well with $71mil. It should definitely outdo what the original did ($85mil), at least, so Paramount should take comfort in that.

It helps that Frozen is freaking amazing and everything else is mediocre at best.

^American Hustle is better I hope that David O. Russell finally gets a couple Oscar wins, he so rightfully deserves. One of the top 5 directors over the last several years. I'd almost say Russell is a lock for winning Best Original Screenplay. The other big film with lots of buzz, 12 Years a Slave was from an adapted screenplay so they wouldn't be competing in that category. Still, Russell has a big chance to win Best Director. American Hustle was awesome. I definitely think it's better than 12 Years a Slave, though we're comparing two different type of movies. If American Hustle ONLY wins Best Picture (and not writing or directing), then Russell will not get an Oscar since he was not a producer.

Anchorman 2 is actually pulling in quite the dough, which I heavily agree in since it's no doubt the best comedy of the year.
Oh yeah, 2013 wasn't that good of a comedy year, so, yeah, give it more money.

Anchorman 2 is actually pulling in quite the dough, which I heavily agree in since it's no doubt the best comedy of the year. Oh yeah, 2013 wasn't that good of a comedy year, so, yeah, give it more money. The problem for Anchorman 2 (I didn't even like the first one, so I have no desire to see part 2) is that Desolation of Smaug, and Frozen have legs. You figured Smaug would do good, as would Frozen, but Anchorman 2 would take the top spot it's first weekend. The problem with that is, both Desolation of Smaug and Frozen have gotten better word of mouth as a go see it in the cinema movie. Frozen has been the family movie, and gotten big time praise. Desolation of Smaug has gotten some praise mostly same word of mouth saying "It's better than An Unexpected Journey, but not as good as any part of the LOTR trilogy", but pretty much everyone agrees that Smaug has to be seen on the big screen, Smaug is fantastic. The movie drags till it gets to Smaug, but Smaug makes it worth everything. Anchorman 2 doesn't have that hook to say "Go see this in the theater, if you see it on Blu Ray you'll be missing out on a lot.", and it's not a family movie. I believe in waiting for Blu Ray for most movies, it's cheaper you don't have to leave, and you can watch whenever you want. That being said seeing that great dragon on the screen is amazing.

Keanu has a bit of history as a badass, so I can let it slide. No, the issue really is that a samurai movie cost about 175 million to make. i'm pretty sure Zack Snyder made a movie of this exact type with Sucker Punch, and that was less than half that.

Seven Samurai was made in 1955 for $2 million, which would be around $17.5 million today. So no, you definitely don't need $175 million for a samurai movie.

The real issue is studio interference. It's been in production for a couple of years and the first drafts didn't have any of the fantasy elements. Watching it, they really feel tacked on to make it look more exciting but play no integral part to the movie. It would explain those reshoots to have more scenes with Reeves and have him do more.
