Whilst we're in the middle of a pre-Oscar season movie muddle, why not look back to see how I did on my summer box office predictions, based solely on film trailers?
The Fall (right)
Guy stuck in a hospital concocts a fantastic epic for a young fellow patient that springs to colorful life as fiction and real life intertwine. My box office prediction: "Not the best [chance at box office success], especially since it seems to be an indie. But it's got producers David Fincher and Spike Jonze on its side, and that alone could build some buzz." How it did: Its tally so far has been $2 million, and coming from the director of the equally visually captivating The Cell, the special effects alone probably cost way more than that. Not a hit -- one point for me.
