Wait, it was? I guess I need to watch Iron Man 3 again. (not that I care about Downton Abbey, but it gives me a good reason to watch Iron Man 3 again).
1) When Tony's leaving instruction with the nurse while Happy's in the hospital. It even shows a scene from season 2 or 3, of Tom Branson talking with Lady Sybil.

2) It was a great show. One of those one's where the story actually takes a slight back seat to the characters, and you almost instantly fall in love with them; good, bad, or indifferent.

So the Downton Abbey movie smashes Rambo at the US box office opening weekend? Go figure.
Saw it Saturday and it was pretty damn good, plus I wouldn't spend money to see Rambo! The story line just looks terrible (to me).

Dunno Looks Awesome to me....


I didn't expect Rambo to break records but I sure as hell didn't see Downton Abbey beating it...kind of makes this Testosterone driven Child of the 80's a little sad

I'm almost 49 and I think I was the youngest guy there LOL. But the theater was like 95% sold out.

I like action films, but like I said Rambo just looks bad to me. I'm sure I'll see it one day but not in a theater.

Duh.

It was directly referenced in Iron Man 3. It has a bit of a following.
I just found it surprising that a movie about a British upper class family and their servants made more money opening weekend than a Rambo movie. I thought Rambo had a massive following in America.

He does. But I have a theory, bear in mind its Anecdotal.  I have heard, since finding this out, from other friends on other forums and in real life that went and saw Downton Abbey...that the majority of the Audience were elderly.  Much like TX said.  As well though many college age goers got into the show because ...and I quote something I actually heard one time..."Its got professor McGonagall in it....."  Most Rambo fans are probably guys in their early 30s to mid 40s.....  no holiday weekend or anything so working age tend not to get out to see movies.  I wanted to see it but didn't have the time due to issues at work.  I may be wrong of course...but I would watch to see if the views tick up some in coming weeks.  Not saying it will be another "My big Fat Greek wedding" or anything.  Joker will most likely beat everything.

It's competing against Midway, Charlie's Angels (won't win), Ford V Ferrari, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, 21 Bridges, The Good Liar, Terminator, and The Irishman.

I think Midway, The Irishman, and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood are competitors but Frozen 2 being highly sought after, it will still reign on top

From what I've heard of the demographics, it was a huge hit with over 55s and females. Under-served market when it comes to movies it appears.

Counter programming may be Frozen 2's biggest asset. Not a lot of crossover between Frozen 2 and those other movies in terms of demographics.

Out of the ones you mentioned, I'm most looking forward to Ford vs Ferrari and The Irishman.

Perhaps, but there actually is quite a substantial Downton following. My entire family has seen the whole series....multiple times. Grin Roll Eyes

"Its got professor McGonagall in it....."
It does. Maggie Smith steals the show for half the series. Plus who doesn't love Jim Carter? I could listen to him read the phone book.

For the 12yo girl demographic.

My money is on Ford v. Ferrari. I got to see both Matt and Christian at the 500 this year.

Pretty much those that watch a lot of PBS. Years back, I knew my mom and sister were huge fans, so I watched an episode to find out what all the hype was about. I was in love after one episode. Bates is the MAN! Grin
