The other three films were crowdpleasers, meanwhile Black Swan was the typical edgy, artsy, risky little indie, the type that usually goes unnoticed...not this time.Phantomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111345019507829615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6653256068264800678.post-21351811337570798692011-07-19T14:45:18.076-07:002011-07-19T14:45:18.076-07:00I think Drive could be a hit.

(Grit and Fighter's budgets were higher, though)<br /><br />Out of the top 8, I'm not seeing any possibilities after the top 3. No way. That being said, Iron Lady has the best chance and unless The Descendants can rise above the lackluster trailer and poster, that's a big no.Cinesnatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00244752542602944093noreply@blogger.com
