Long Range Forecast: 'Out of the Furnace'
Featured Stories - on October 11, 2013 by BoxOffice Staff
This week, we take a look at December 6's lone wide release: Out of the Furnace.
Out of the Furnace
PROS:
- Christian Bale's popularity has skyrocketed in recent years thanks to the Dark Knight trilogy and his Oscar-winning role in The Fighter.
- As the only wide opener that weekend, and following a weak slate of Thanksgiving openers, Furnace could win over adult audiences with a strong marketing campaign.
- Director Scott Cooper's first film, Crazy Heart, was a critical and Oscar darling--netting Jeff Bridges a Best Actor Oscar. Oscar buzz could be a factor here as well.
CONS:
- Post-Thanksgiving weekends are typically slow as audiences prepare for the busier Christmas and New Year's weeks ahead.
- Although his clout is still increasing, Bale hasn't proven to be a box office draw on his own.
Notable changes on our forecast this week include Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa (up) and The Counselor (down)

fitting the right quote at the right seems an art to me now. I believe that without the help of https://assignmentman.co.uk/buy-assignment I would be suffered a lot more. I have also send a link of the website to my college friend.
