The Master sets a record!

I know I haven't been around much, but this got me all excited in my movie nerd genes!

The Master set the all time high per screen average for a traditional release.

It gives me hope that there's at least a small section of humanity that's interested in these types of films. I may continue my streak of seeing P. T. Anderson films in the theater!

Wow that's mad money. I'll probably have to wait a week or two to see it due to time constraints

It certainly means that the target audience is primed for the movie. As far as I know, none of Anderson's movies have grossed squat. Well, There Will Be Blood made $40 million domestically.

Well, I'll have to see The Master, if only because I like Phoenix and respect his acting acumen. Actually, River was even more talented than Joaquim.
I liked Magnolia but There Will Be Blood, although technically a well made movie, left me bored. I kept waiting for something to happen.

Waiting for something to happen? Like a giant monster attack or something?

There Will Be Blood is a terrific film, IMO. Plenty of things happen.

Srsly

I'm elated about this news. Especially the reference to tripling the Avengers in this statistic.

I don't know. Plenty of people have said that. I love Daniel Day Lewis and that's why I saw the movie. May have to re-watch it and see if my first impression is confirmed. I do remember that I was expecting more and it left me dissapointed. Kind of like Eureka.
