The Departed

The cast had to work cheap cuz no one would have enough $$ to bankroll it with those BIG name stars.

I predict a big box office take.

It'll need to be pretty damn good to be better than Infernal Affairs.

I know it's based on IA but the trailers make me think it'll be a totally different kind of movie. IA is one of my favorite foreign films BTW.

This is not 100% true. I saw lines for Pitates of the Carb. a month before it opened. Same is true for a few other movies that were expected to be HUGE.

Of course, other than these expected monster hits, BO lines usually come out the week the movie is to be released.

You got it pags. Cops vs Gangsters. Spy vs Spy. I'm going to try to catch the Friday midnight show. Afterwards I'll post a quick review.
