Box Office 2005

wht the hell is Hitch doind so well?...i mean i like Will Smith but this thing is doing great business
 
Here's a question, why are some people mad or surprised that Hitch is doing so well?!?! If some of you have seen it and don't like it, fine, but some people(in other threads and other message boards) just don't like romantic comedies in general, so they feel justified in writing it off, rather than believing other people might actually like it. To say nothing of its release the weekend before Valentine's Day! It's a perfect date movie! Couple that with a star that's proven to be box-office gold more often than not, and the fact that the movie is actually quite good(okay, in my opinion, anyway), and you've got a successful film.

i'm not saying its a bad thing , i just want to know if it is THAT good
 
I thought it was. There are your standard romantic comedy staples; jumping to conclusions, momentary break-up, etc, but the cast is great, especially Will and Kevin James when he's helping him get a girl. Hitch is nice because it's not like he's just showing guys how to do good on dates, he genuinely wants to see the men he helps find love and long-term relationships. He actually refuses to help one guy, because it's clear the guy's just looking to get laid. It makes for a cute scene in the movie.

Hostage is being compaired to Die Hard...so i hope it does more than 20 mill
 
I know I said it already, but I'll say it again. I am so proud of Howl's Moving Castle's performance at the box office:up: I only hope it is a big of a success here in the U.S. as it is overseas.
