The Premier Download: American Gangster is already gangbusters!

Or something like that. The phenomenon of the new Washington/Crowe gangster flick has taken over America, as the early reviews and anticipation of the movie is incredible.

We have received hundreds of emails since posting our give away contest two days ago here at BC, indicating how eager the public is for the movie. With press screenings starting tonight in Los Angeles and New York, the buzz on this movie will surely go into overdrive for the next two days - all great for publicity and promotions.

My question is, how will American Gangster do at the box office? My early prediction is that it will open strong, but run out of gas quick, sad as that is to say. The fault won't lie in the creative departments or promotional teams that slaved over the project. It's just simple numbers. Everyone has already watched this movie.

I don't mean that like “American Gangster is a story that has been told before". No, I mean everyone has already seen this movie - literally. Almost all of my friends have watched it. It's already on the streets, crystal clear DVD, missing only the audio soundtrack. It's online; one of my friends is watching it right now as we speak! While I think it will do big in the box office, the fact that it was shuffled around hands for so long added to the swift hands of movie pirates will slow it down tremendously.

With that said, go see the movie! Enter our contest while you’re at it!
