According to intitial predictions, Steve Jobs has the potential to come in at No. 7 for the weekend behind the first position holders The Martian, Goosebumps, Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, starring Tom Hanks, Hotel Transylvania 2 and new entries Paranormal Activity: Ghost Dimension and The Last Witch Hunter.

Mr. Kottke is among those who were once close to Steve Jobs who have offered praise for the movie.
Most of the personal story involves Jobs’ relationship with his daughter Lisa. Actually, it’s basically Walking Whilst Talking: The Movie, as Sorkin’s trademark, fast-paced dialogue delivered in near full-sprint makes up literally nearly every scene. Steve Jobs would reportedly need to make around $120 million to break even – an unlikely figure when you consider that it’s $7.3 million opening weekend is scarcely half-a-million more than Ashton Kutcher’s critically panned Jobs scored on its debut.
Contrino added that the pedigree behind the film’s director, Danny Boyle, and screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin, may also help to boost the film’s totals seeing that both are Academy Award winners. “We are just as proud today to be associated with this film as we were from the beginning”. “Smart, you know smart guy”, Williams said. “Moreover, Michael Fassbender, the electrifying Irish actor who replaced Bale as Jobs, lacks the drawing power to open the picture”, Variety states.
Daniel Kottke, Apple employee #12, liked the new Steve Jobs film. We’re invested because we want to know how he solved problems and advanced along in his career, but it’s hard to admire him as a person when we see how he treats others.
As Jobs changes through the years, he chooses to ignore the past in favor of focusing on his own future. I don’t care about Steve Jobs.
Daniels once again proved to me he is much more than what he was back in “Dumb and Dumber”, with another excellent performance as ex-Apple CEO John Sculley. “Steve and his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, felt that it was time for a biography to be done”, Sorkin said.
So. Sorkin? Give him an Oscar.
“I was going to write a biopic, I was going to narrow the lens a lot, and what I ended up doing was writing a movie where that was just in its entirety, three scenes”, Sorkin said. Variety has already begun to ask what went wrong, claiming that while Facebook (and its relatively unknown founder) was just cresting the mainstream when the film launched – Jobs was already far too well-known.

Though plenty has been written about Jobs over the years, Brennan-Jobs’ experience hasn’t really factored into much of that.
