In reply to JanStan.

I´m very used to box office. I know the film will cross the 100 million mark in the USA, which is a success for a film like this. It could have flopped or just been one more cute release while fans wait for a new album, but it is not being such thing. This thing is looking like a big success. The worldwide box office will be more than decent too, both names are well knows and the songs are the type of songs with universal appeal. The thing that has surprised me most is the strenght the single "Shallow" has shown for more than a week at the top of itunes from the get go. Shows people, people who like quality are still here for her and know she is real talent. These basic people were calling her a fad all those years after Born This Way era ended LMAO I always knew deep inside a talent like this had to prevail someway somehow. And it has, probably more than what I expected. She also had the determination to do it, cause many talented people who face hating campaigns from the media and superficial pop public just "retire". In that sense, Mariah had enough strenght to prevail and win people back big time. But it happens very rarely.
