The samurai tentpole, starring Keanu Reeves, opened Christmas Day in the U.S. with a soft $7 million at 2,688 locations, finishing sixth. Internationally, the film has opened in 14 territories for a total of $10 million through Wednesday.

Members MsGuy Posted December 27, 2013 Members Share Posted December 27, 2013 " I got a great idea, Mo! "Let's shoehorn Keanu Reeves into a remake of one of the most beloved stories in Japanese literature ever! "How could that possibly go wrong?" "Hell, Yeah! And we could save big bucks with all those costumes from The Last Samurai we got in storage." AdamSmith and TotallyOz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TampaYankee Posted December 28, 2013 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2013 His acting has always been secondary to his screen presence, IMO. Keanu's attraction to the straight girls and gay boys has attenuated with his advancing age. Sad but I can testify to that -- at least the gay boy part, if I may use the term very loosely.
