Anyone see the movie? It did 39 million this weekend. Curious what anyone's thoughts are? I need to check it out this week. Glad to see Denzel open big.

Re: SAFE HOUSE (39 million dollar opening)
About to check it out in a coupla hours....heard it was good....wondering what makes it almost a $90 million production budget thoughOne must be fearless and tenacious when pursuing their dreams. If you don't, regret will be your reward.

Re: SAFE HOUSE (39 million dollar opening)
Whilst I'd like to see Haywire have made another surge for the top slot from word of mouth (okay, I get it. Not going to happen), I'm glad this did so well
(and equally BAFFLED by the HUGE box office this weekend).
To those that follow Blacklist, this was one of the hottest scripts in 2010. Not only that, but I believe it was a spec script. Not based on book or Graphic novel. No established audience.
AND IT MADE $39 MILL!
......In February.
Seriously, I can't state this enough. This is great for spec writing screenwriters everywhere. I will definitely catch it at the cinema!

It's great news, my buddy's company produced, glad to see them with a big win. Project was more like 45m from what I've heard, and there's a 35% locations rebate from SA, so they have already covered their production costs, apparently.

But Huge fan just the same. If he plays it right, he could be top 5 biggest stars in Hollywood in next to no time.
And Denzel was indeed a great interviewee. He seems to get the British humor where some do not (yeah, Vince.... I'm looking at you). That said, always seems just a little guarded. But a lot of people are these days with Ross.
But anyway.... back to Safehouse.
