Can Woody Allen’s “Blue Jasmine” become a bigger hit than his “Midnight in Paris”?
That’s what Sony Pictures Classics is hoping after “Blue Jasmine” scored the biggest box-office debut of the filmmaker’s career this weekend. Playing in six theaters, the movie starring Cate Blanchett grossed $612,767, according to the film’s distributor. That amounts to a per-theater average of $102,128 -- not only the highest such figure of the year for a film opening in limited release, but also the highest for any of Allen’s films.
Also with all these pictures and whatever leaking I don't see how they can keep the single locked away until Aug 19. Did BTW leak?

As for the music, details are at a premium, but despite the tears and pantomime face, “I’ll tell you that it is very fun,” she says. “And that it’s full of happiness, because what I’m saying in the song essentially is that I live for the applause. I live for the way you cheer and scream for me. Give me that thing that I love. Put your hands up, make them touch.” At this point, it sounds like she’s quoting lyrics, but again, we won’t know until Aug. 19, barring a leak.
idk, I don't love it but I don't hate it either. I just hope she doesn't run herself into the ground with all this pseudo-intellectual pretentious bullcrap.
