Did Collin Ferrell break a new B.O. record

[captain cocanut]

In the last three months the guy has had 3 number one movies!!!! The recruit, Daredevil, and Phone Booth. Isn't that some kind of record or something. Plus he still has more movies to come out this year..... What happens if they become number one at the Box Office also.

[Radiohead]

i don't know about personal hygiene but i will say the success is mild. the recruit was decent, daredevil was kind of dull and phone booth has been passed off as good but not great.
as for records achieved? i doubt it.

[captain cocanut]

I never said anything about how good the movies were... just their success...

The Recruit opened #1 at the box office and has made 52 million.

DD was # 1 at the box office for two weeks in a row, with 100million
Phone Booth was #1 as well

That means Collin Ferrell has been number # 1 at the Box office for four weeks and with three different movies, within weeks from each other.

That has got to be a record.....

Which brings me to my new point.... why do guys like Vin Desil get 20 million a picture... yet Collin still only get 5 or 10.....

The guy is one of the hardest working actors in Hollywood.

vin is better known..........or at least was more known than colin before he had daredevil and phone booth

Is Colin Farrell an icon with the MTV generation ages 18-25?? I don't think so. So theres your answer.

Who the **** would want to be a icon of the MTV generation....

[Balrog of Moria]

I dont know if he set a record at the box office but Collin Ferrell is an awesome actor. Ohh, and lay off Diesel, he may be a moronic bald imbisile but hes fun to watch...lol

[sabin26]

Colin is in a great movie called Tigerland, imo anyways, and I think he is a whole lot better than Vin. Vin was good in only two movies, Saving Private Ryan and Pitch Black. Colin has yet to be in a movie I didn't like.

That was probably the best move he's made in a long time. ;)

From what I've seen of him, Ferrell is a lot better than a lot of actors out there. I liked Tigerland, Minority Report and Daredevil. I haven't seen the recruit or phone booth, so I can't judge them yet.

I don't blame him, I would have turned it down also.

I thought that was pretty smart of him... now if only he can turn down doing movies and go back to being a bouncer... then that would be great!

Heh, yeah. I learned last night he was considered by Disney for "Equilibrium". Met Kurt Wimmer after a screening of the film and there was a Q&A session afterwards.

I to was thinking the same thing when I saw Phone Booth last week {Which was better then I thought it would be} I realized that this was his third movie in 3 months I didnt see the recruit but I realized from reading somewhere that they all opened at #1 and he has another movie coming out this summer called S.W.A.T with sam jackson and ll cool j so this would be his 4th movie this year good track record.

[captain cocanut]

and vin's last two movies have more or less bombed.... and I'm sure as hell know XXX2 will bomb too... I don't know of anyone wanting a sequel to that.

[teewee1432]

I dont think that xxx2 will bomb I think that this film will mark his return to box-office glory.

[Boods]

collin farrel has had three really good movies this year IMO ...

best is phone booth .. then daredevil ... then the recruit

[Balrog of Moria]

I was surprised by how good The Recruit was.

[MissL]

My first thought when I read the title of this thread was, he does seem like he needs a bath. But yeah he's had one hit movie after another & s.w.a.t. looks pretty cool.

Fast N The Furious was a joke

[evenstar]

No way, I loved that film and not just because Vin D was in it...

[Jspitalieri]

Vin Diesel shouldn't even be an actor. The guy has zero talent. Put him in the category with Steven Segal and Chuck Norris, making the same movie over and over with a slightly new twist.

The fact that he had those movies released so back to back is because they could. There were dates for when they can be placed without being up against any big budget movies like Harry Potter or X-men. Phone booth was finish a loooong time ago but didnt release it because at the time there were a lot of sniper shooting around the country. So it was put on hold. The other two...well, in Daredevil, he didnt have that much to do. So he was probably only there for a couple of weeks. A lot of actors have opened up movies like this. Sometimes at the same time.. Look at DiCaprio. Gangs of NY and Catch me if you can were released almost at the same time. within the month. Al pacino done it too.

[cdefreese]

Don't forget, Farrell has been earmarked to star with Anthony Hopkins in next years Alexander too. I believe this guy is one to keep an eye on.

[lotrfreak]

and now he has swat, so thats 4 no 1's in a row! woohoo!!

[captain cocanut]

NICE!

[lotrfreak]

hehe yeah! and then alexander is obviously gonna be no 1 as well, sooooo
lets just sayhe's doin pretty good for himself
