The Valkyrie Trailer — Starring Tom Cruise

BOX OFFICE DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOX OFFICE DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOX OFFICE DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m sorry, TomCruisehaters, but VALKYRIE will be the film of the year.

Why cant this weirdo just do a documentary of his weird strange life. That would be more interesting,you know, like,wife contracts,baby aint his, the gay lover he’s hiding, wanting to be a monk still, his company space ship gets washed on Tuesdays,,and his alien cult..oh yeah and how aliens created the world..

a bonus would be how RON L. HUBBARD made all this cra.p up, and was a NUT!!!people and money would flow..people love seeing frea.ks!

Perhaps Katie might do a triathlon to help with this marketing for this one as well. too bad both eyes aren’t covered with patches…..

te he he

Another box office BOMB!

no 5 lala
it seems u know arabic! :d
do u live in the US?

I’m curious to see how Carice van Houten is doing in this movie. I heard a lot about her.
And I think this will be a great movie. Can’t wait to see it!

Why are they speaking in ENGLISH and NOT GERMAN? Second, Tom Cruise is only 5 foot 7. The man Cruise is protraying in the film in real life Von Staffenburg was 6 foot 6 !

I think he still got it. Judging from this you can see he is an excellent actor. I think it will do very well.

WOW is all I can say. And I don’t even like the guy as such but the movie is a promise.

“Cruise doesn’t just chew the scenery; he massages, charms, intimidates, stalks and nails every bullet point of his neocon agenda with the ardor of a Baptist minister. Although the display of emotion is completely out of character for such a cold-blooded politician, the performance is nevertheless hypnotizing, and presents the most interesting aspect of the movie.”
http://filmcritic1963.typepad.com/reviews/…-for-lambs.html

“The conversation between Cruise and Streep has a totally authentic feel. Cruise gives one of his greatest performances as the smooth-tongued Republican. In fact, his winning smile and arguments are so persuasive they almost undermine the film’s anti-Bush message.”

For those of you who though Lions was not doing well, you danced too early as the foreign numbers show that it is actually faring well. Chew on that.

Monday figures

Domestic….. $7,450,216
Foreign……. $9,911,738
————————-
Total…….. $17,361,954

Lets see who will have th elast laugh.

With the dutch actress Carice van Houten!!:)

i got bored watching the trailer but KENNETH B—YUM!!! TOM WILKINSON - SOLID. Maybe they will save it.

I must say Tom has a creepy look, and he pulled off the cold Nazi character pretty well. I don’t necessarily idolize Tom, but this movie look good.

Count me in for this movie. Kicks ass!!!!!!

Thanks Jared. What an amazing film and I love the music in the background. The cast are superb, the directing and writing too.

Being German mysel I had a bit of a laugh, though not on Tom Cruise: True story of an unknown hero? Stauffenberg is very much of a hero in Germany - not only since brilliant Sebastian Koch (who also was in Oscar winning The Lives of Others) portrayed him in a TV flick a few years ago ;)

At the beginning most Germans were concerned that Stauffenberg will be played by Cruise since Scientology is nothing but a sect here - but Cruise was a nice guest to our country (also visiting dying actor Ulrich Mühe a few days before his death) and I do really hope that his movie will show that not all Germans are or were Nazis in the sense everyone has in mind. I am really proud that there were couragous heroes as Stauffenberg and his followers. Can’t wait til it starts.

unfortunately Tess, many dont know this hero. But this movie and thanks to Tom Cruise presence that will change. People nowadays know more about Paris Hilton than what’s going on in the world.
So many dont even know their own U.S. history let alone world history. Its laughable that youngsters really belive the version of the Titanic by Leo DiCaprio and the Pearl Harbor version of Ben Affleck.

LOL!

@Mona
LOL! Yeah, I guess that’s true. I’ve been asked recently what’s it like to live in a state ruled by Hitler ;) Quite a lot of people believe that everything told in movies is true.

I grew up with tom cruise on the screen… the past few years have been difficult but as the granddaughter of someone who entered into Berlin in 1945, this is a important film for people to see.. it will encourage younger generations to dive into history and really look for the truths of our past. What did we have so much to lose for… my grandfather refused to speak of those years of his life - entering Berlin and dealing with Germans, of his own blood probably, who may or may have not supported Hitler. This I think, is not a movie to judge celebrity as one might, but to open minds to other alterntives that are available to us as a country, and as a planet.

They dont speak German?

Anyone recall Shindler’s list the German characters sound British.
Enemy at the Gates have Russian characters but their accents like Jude Law,Weisz and Ed Harris are nowhere to be found.
Black Hawk Down some American soldiers sound Australian and British.
Gladiator its supposedly Rome but the accents are all juggled up same with Munich. 3:10 to Yuma a Western with Aussie accent same in American Gangster an FBI that sounds Australian.

Some dont know there are German actors in Valkyrie but they dont sound German do they. I wonder which one is Stauffenberg’s relative in the trailer?

Hollywood is noticing this time that war and political films are drying out at the box office. The decline started after 9-11 and even got worst this fall movie line up of war films starting with the Kingdom,Valley of Elah,Rendition and now Lions for Lambs. Im surprise that Brad and Angelina are going for another Middle East arc when Might Heart failed too.

I saw on CNN many films on war will be cut down by Hollywood. What ticks me off is that real historical pieces and amazing movies like We Were Soldiers,Flags of our Fathers by Clint Eastwood are ignored but movies that are just lies by Michael Moore the public flock to it.

Sad for war fans that some war projects like Spielberg and Ridley Scott might not happen anymore. At least my Blackwater movie is still a go but films like Operation Anaconda and other Afghanistan and Iraq action war films will be denied.

I’m out on this one. The topic sounds interesting, but the guy totally turns me off. Don’t think I could sit through it.

You’re so FUNNY and so RIGHT!!!! Tom’s got it all at his fingertips if he’ll just do a TRUE autobiography and follow-up with the movie. Love it!

Love him and Katie.

Rooting he gets an Oscar nod or Oscar win for this one.

I’m glad to see that Tom has been making intelligent films instead of tentpoles.Lions for Lambs is excellent,different, but excellent.Valkyrie,I expect would be just as powerful and memorable.
I prefer quality films than box office potential,hence the sort that makes me think and discourse.

Valkyrie is my 2008 movie along with Bond 22,Batman,Indiana Jones,Cloverfield,Katie’s movie,Narnia,Iron Man,Mama Mia.
HoooHoooo.

#24 A 6.7 million opening weekend for a major movie is a HUGE BOMB! They had a huge media push for this movie and still nobody went to see it. The reviews were bad. If you need to start pulling totals from a lot of other countries, then that just looks desparate.

I can undertand why many didnt watch. I didnt watch not because I hate Cruise but because Im depress with this kind of movies.
I lost a friend in church he was in the Army in Afghanistan and while I support Bush and this war I put myself in the shoes of the family. How will I really feel if my own brother or the love of my life dies in this war?

The movie may not be blockbuster but it sure did woke up many people’s eyes when you see the heated emotional debates in different news channels even in various movie forums. It stirred up important lessons and debates where you stand.

Can’t wait to see it!!!

I love Tom Cruise.

Lions….ahhaha

Tank or Bomb..and I thought thre were mroe scientologists..ahahha

Cruise probably bought all thos etickets for his stupid church members

“”Lions” came in with a dismal $6.7 million in its opening weekend. Placing fourth in box office sales means America rejects “Lions’” message.”

Cruise furious at biographer Morton
12/11/2007 - 14:31:07

Tom Cruise is furious at Diana’s close friend and biographer Andrew Morton - over a scathing biography he wrote about the actor.

Morton has reportedly been forced into hiding because of aggressive threats made to him by Cruise’s associates in the Church of Scientology.

The author, who has written revealing books about the lives of British royal Diana and Monica Lewinsky, is set to publish a book shedding light on the sexuality and beliefs of one of Hollywood’s most secretive yet powerful stars.

Morton says he has been forced to sell his London home and “disappear” as a result of threats made to him by Scientologist’s and supporters of Cruise following his investigative enquiries into the lives and loves of the ‘Mission Impossible’ star.

He tells British newspaper the Sunday Express: “I have received threats from the Scientologist’s and things have become pretty heavy - to the extent that it’s almost more than my lawyers can handle.

“I’ve sold my flat and I’m not telling anyone where I’m moving to. I intend to disappear for a while.”

Morton says that researching the Royal Family was like “a walk in the park” compared to finding out about Cruise and his controversial beliefs

Box Office: Lions for Lambs unlikely to top $11M opening; Fred Claus headed for $24M-$27M
Posted on Thursday, November 8th, 2007 at 12:59 pm by: Steve Mason

When Tom Cruise showed up on MTV’s TRL on Monday, it was the marketing equivalent of a Hail Mary. The fact is that Lions for Lambs, the first movie produced by Cruise and Paula Wagner under the previously-dormant United Artist banner, is tracking poorly – especially with the Under 25 crowd. In fact, the more that Under 25’s hear about the movie, the less interested they become.

As of October 28, my sources tell me that Lions for Lambs scored Definite Interest at 32% with Males Under 25 and 19% with Females Under 25. Just one week later, as of Sunday (11/4), those numbers had dropped to 19% of young males and 17% of young females. It’ll take more than showing up on America’s favorite ‘tween countdown show to get his political thriller to skew younger.

I’m a huge fan of Cruise the actor. The summer of Risky Business was the summer between my senior year of high school and my freshman year at college. He gave his best performance in one of my favorite movies, Jerry Maguire, and, if I had an Oscar vote that year, he would have gotten it. Erratic behavior and religion aside, he’s been a legitimate movie star for a quarter of a century, but there’s no saving Lions for Lambs.

As of Wednesday night (11/6), despite a cast that includes Meryl Streep and the presence of Oscar winning director Robert Redford (Ordinary People, A River Runs Through It), Rotten Tomatoes has the movie at just 29% Fresh. Perhaps the most concise criticism comes from Nev Pierce from the BBC who says, “It’s too pious to be entertaining, too polite to be convincing and, like a weapon of mass destruction, takes a lot longer to deploy than 45 minutes.”

Unlike many in the media, I’m rooting for Tom and by extension United Artists and MGM. Friday in the NY Post, Peter Lauria described Lions for Lambs as a “Ticking Tom Bomb.” The reported budget for this picture is only $35M. It’s a tough subject (the War on Terror) at a time in the marketplace where serious films just aren’t working. The movie won’t be a blockbuster hit, but this isn’t an Evan Almighty-sized disaster.

The recent New Line disappointment Rendition, also featuring Meryl Streep, makes a great comparable here. There was stronger Un-Aided Awareness for Rendition 6%-2%, but the Total Aware for Lambs is better 64%-59%. At the same point in its marketing cycle, Rendition had 27% Definite Interest and the Cruise project is only a tick better at 28%. Here’s how the demos break out.

DEFINITE INTEREST – Males Under 25
Lions for Lambs – 19%
Rendition – 18%

DEFINITE INTEREST – Males 25 Plus
Lions for Lambs – 36%
Rendition – 24%

DEFINITE INTEREST – Females Under 25
Rendition – 30%
Lions for Lambs – 17%

DEFINITE INTEREST – Females 25 Plus
Lions for Lambs – 35%
Rendition – 31%

It’s hard to believe that Tom Cruise can no longer drive a movie above 40% Definite Interest with Females 25 Plus, but Viacom chief Sumner Redstone is probably not surprised. When the venerable exec cut ties with Cruise last year, he explained that his wife Paula had some say, “Paula, like women everywhere, had come to hate him. The truth of the matter is, I did listen to her . His behavior was entirely unacceptable to Paula and to the rest of the world. He just didn’t turn one [woman] off. He turned off all women, and a lot of men.” In fact, Lions for Lambs had Definite Interest with Females 25 Plus of 36% 10 day ago, and it’s actually dropped to 35%.

The marginally more-positive news is that the Lions for Lambs is at 7% First Choice compared to the 3% that Rendition opened with, but it’s a longshot fto think that Tom Cruise’s first post-Paramount film will make back its $35M budget in domestic box office (Rendition has generated $9.3M domestic as of Tuesday). This movie will be no box office Lion, and I’m calling for a depressing, Lamb-like $8M-$11M opening.

Things look much better for the other major studio wide release Fred Claus (Warner Bros). This is an “old-school,” formulaic, feel-good, warm and fuzzy spin on the Santa Claus story with Paul Giamatti as “the big guy” and Vince Vaughn as his ne’er-do-well brother. It’s hard to believe that Oscar winners Kathy Bates, Rachel Weisz and Kevin Spacey signed on for this fluff, but it’s probably a nice change of pace.

Despite all of the A-list talent, Fred Claus is at only 33% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, but this movie is critic-proof. It’s for kids and families, and tracking shows that it should perform respectably. Last year’s The Santa Clause 3, which opened with $19.5M, is a perfect comparable, and Fred looks to outdo that 3-day number.

Fred Claus has 5% Un-Aided Awareness, which doesn’t add up to much buzz or anticipation. SC3 was a sequel, so it had strong Awareness at 87% compared to just 70% for the Vaughn-Giamatti pic, but Fred is outpacing Santa Clause 3 in Definite Interest 37%-31%. Here’s how the demos lay out.

DEFINITE INTEREST – Males Under 25
Fred Claus – 35%
The Santa Clause 3 – 24%

DEFINITE INTEREST – Males 25 Plus
Fred Claus – 34%
The Santa Clause 3 – 24%

DEFINITE INTEREST – Females Under 25
Fred Claus – 39%
The Santa Clause 3 – 36%

DEFINITE INTEREST – Females 25 Plus
Fred Claus – 39%
The Santa Clause 3 – 39%

Whereas the Tim Allen three-quel generated real interest only with Moms (Females 25 Plus), Vince Vaughn, in particular, scores in the other 3 quadrants. Men of all ages and Females Under 25 can go to see Fred Claus without being embarrassed.

Both movies went off with a 9% First Choice, which is soft, but that doesn’t include all those kids who don’t get surveyed. Fred has a better First Choice with Males Under 25 (8%-5%) and Females Under 25 (12%-9%), but none of this suggests the $30M opening that many analysts are projecting.

I say that this weekend is a toss-up between last week’s champ American Gangster (Universal) and Fred Claus, and I’m giving the edge to Denzel, Russ and Ridley. Exit surveys for Gangster have been spectacular, and, given its 160-minute running time, not everybody saw it on opening weekend. I’m calling for $25M-$28M for the action holdover because I’m sensing a phenomenon. AG is a great, big, sweeping epic and, it’s fun. It’s more entertaining than all of the dour autumn Hollywood offerings put together, and that’s what moviegoers are in the mood for. The #2 spot should go to Fred Claus with something in the $24M-$27M range, and Bee Movie will be a solid 3rd with $22M-$25M.

It’s a bit unbelievable how poorly the horror flick P2 (Summit Entertainment) is tracking. Rachel Nichols, whose next film is the highly-anticipated Charlie Wilson’s War from Mike Nichols, plays a woman who is trapped in a parking garage in this genre pic, and it’s fair to say both she and co-star Wes Bentley equally trapped in a bomb that should have gone straight to video. P2 has a Total Aware of 20%, Definite Interest of just 21% and a 2% First Choice, and it’s hard to imagine more than $2M-$4M on its opening weekend.

‘Lions’ meek after Euro mauling
Fox pic finds solace in Spanish returns
By ARCHIE THOMASLONDON — Wounded by a mauling from European crix, “Lions for Lambs” opened with a whimper not a growl at Euro wickets this weekend.
Cruise and Redford’s dogged tub thumping in London and Berlin could not prevent soft bows in the U.K. and Germany. A bright opening in Spain helped soften the blow for Fox brass.

In the U.K., “Lions for Lambs” opened lamely, taking $1.4 million at 404 screens for Fox. The haul left “Lambs” floundering in sixth place with a $3,361 screen average. Savage reviews dealt the talky political drama a big blow.

” ‘Lions for Lambs’ met low expectations. We went in expecting the worst and pretty much got it,” said a London-based booker.

I’m half jewish and not interested in german history anymore,ive heard& read enough growing up.
