[quote name=\'mitchgroff\' post=\'206067\' date=\'Jan 12 2009, 10:59 AM\']By success, I am guessing that you mean critical success. Prior to last night's massive Globes win for Slumdog, a lot of folks probably hadn't heard of the movie. Looks like it was #11 in the box office this past weekend. Not saying that the Globes won't heighten awareness, but the movie certainly isn't a financial success in the U.S., yet.[/quote]
That's a pretty short-sighted analysis, though. ...  This thing is easily going to be a moneymaker.  Saying Slumdog isn't a financial success yet is a little like saying Obama isn't president yet.  It's technically true at this moment, but irrelevant given its inevitability.[/quote]
Just wanted to revisit my "inevitability" comment  Sure enough, Obama is president and even before its ten Oscar nominations this morning, Slumdog has already made $45 million in domestic box office alone.

So if you can't get on a game show and win a million, make a movie about a game show and make 45 million.

Next year's sequel, Slumdog Show Me The Money - has box office gold written all over it....but only if Chris Pine plays the host.
