Rounders 2

[Wes]

I believe this is one of the few times that a poker movie could be a success at the box office. All other sports movies have hit a downturn. This may be to the lack of sports movies in general (especially this year given that the only sports movie of note is a boxing movie regarding a fringe character mainstream).

I think a poker movie has a much better chance of being a financial success than any other sports movie atm. All other sports pretty much fail overseas (except like supremely foreign sports like Invictus which grossed 85 million international as opposed to 32 US). There really has not been an adult male dominated demographic in a while outside of clearly dominated cinemas regarding male demographics (westerns, sci-fi).

Rounders 2 though. Meh. The first movie was OK at best. They would need to seriously revamp the series to make it interesting. Seems very unlikely. At least I would hope they give Mike D. a kid that swindles people for transfer money online.
