Early Saturday box office estimates ; still waiting for the usual box office sites to weigh in

Hope the fact that the screeners sent to prospective Oscar/DGA voters already being leaked online doesn't hurt the box office

Hi SunSmile thanks for the scan.... that pic of little Leo is too adorable for words.

Thanks oxford for the box office numbers

Good morning ladies!

Hi SunSmile

Thanks for all your cool finds! I have the book, its a great read!!

Glad you enjoyed the movie Rainey

I finally saw Django! It was good. I wouldn't call it one of Tarantino's best. No. But it was still good. And Leo, Christoph, and Jamie were excellent. eta: and samuel too!

But let's get to Leo. AAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS.

I'm not going to even front...I kinda sorta wish the whole movie was about Calvin. HAHAHA. I know, I'm horrible since the movie's subject matter is so much more serious than just a singular character, especially when said singular character is one of the villains.

BUT LIKE. UNF. THE MAN IS SO, SO FINE. AND HIS EYES WERE JUST SO SO SO BLUE AND GORGEOUS. AND JFC. I WAS SITTING THERE LUSTING HARDCORE OVER A SLAVE OWNER, PIECE OF SHIT PERSON. I blame Leo.

STILL EXCELLENT EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE. ESPECIALLY HIS SCENES W SAMUEL, WHO ALSO WAS ACES.

Especially that scene where he cuts his hand in...HE WAS FUCKING EPIC IN THAT. AND OMG IT JUST MADE ME THINK ABOUT THAT INTERVIEW WHERE HE TALKED ABOUT BRINGING ALL THAT HISTORICAL PHILOSOPHY/PSYCH INFO TO QUENTIN...WHICH IS SOMETHING I STILL STRUGGLE WITH DAILY ( ) OVER HOW LEO CAN BE NOT ONLY BE SO PASSIONATE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE BUT ALWAYS CURIOUS AND SO FUCKING HOT AND TALENTED....HE IS GROSS. AND THEN I WAS JUST ALL LUSTING PLEASE FUCK ME CALVIN AGAIN. .... and then again I felt gross. But not.

The best thing I've ever read about Leo in my whole life....

"DiCaprio is to Cinema what Einstein was to Physics.

To me the best actor ever. "

Sick, thanks for all those awesome scans!! So cool to see all those Leo covers I dug up my old Leo collection (so glad I've never thrown anything Leo away!!) and will share some stuff with you. I've scanned quite some stuff throughout the years so I will try to find it somewhere and share it here. One little thing I found in my collection, I completely forgot I had this, is the Leo biography by Victoria Looseleaf. Anyone has this or know this? Some cute stories and rare pictures in there

Me I have just this (click on it):

aww, awesome French Girl!

OMG he's so cute!!!! :wub2:

Thanks for the bigger pic Amandine

I think we should send this to all members of the Hollywood Foreign Press and Oscar voters. What do you think?

Oxford, thanks for the box office estimates. Good to see Django on #1! Sure hope the people watching the screeners think the movie is awesome and so still go and watch in cinema! I know I would

Hi Fash Hi mz_linz Hi Sick Good to be back. I read here every now and then for my Leo fix haha, but don't post often.

Is this lady one of the "Lycky Ones" ?

korean jesus ‏@eroticjustin

omg when i met leonardo dicaprio im crying

Why must he tease us like this? You're welcome ladies

Ok here it goes Hope I can get the scans to work here!

Here are a few scans that accompanied a part of the book: Leonardo, Up close and personal by Victoria Looseleaf. Victoria was a friend of the DiCaprio's and interviewed Leo for her show, it should be on youtube somewhere

"Leonardo loved dressing up, showing an early tendency toward creating different characters - another reason, perhaps, to become an actor. Leonardo not only got to dress up in all kinds of interesting and exotic costumes but would get paid for doing it, too!

When the money was tight, however, Halloween, the ultimate time for dressing up in a child's life, would have to be improvised. Leonardo would don a zabra-striped mask, a bolt of animal-skin cloth would be wrapped around him Tarzan-style, and the final touch, a red cape, would be tied around his neck. At a very young age, Leo was not exactly King of the World, but he certainly was King of the Jungle, or at least King of His Neighborhood!

Another way Leo liked dressing up - or dressing down - was as a member of the Los Angeles Mudpeople. The Mudpeople are a group of urban primitives led by teacher and poet Mike Mollett. Mike organizes walkabouts, in which friends cake their nearly naked bodies with wet mud, adorning themselves with leaves and other organic materials and finally donning huge handmade mud heads. They do not speak, but walk around various parts of Los Angeles "exploring" their terrain: meaning they inspect anything from loose street gravel to blooming bougainvillea to somebody's shiny belt buckle. George and Peggy liked being Mudpeople an dthey thought Leo might enjoy it, too. I was never a Mudperson but preferred taking pictures of them instead on their many outings. Afavorite Mudpeople excursion was participating in the annual Festival of Masks. Leo "mudded up" with George, Peggy, Mike, and the others before they all marched in the parade down Wilshire Boulevard. Hey, it was probably just another form of acting. But Leo excelled at it. He would remain speechless for a while, march around unself-consciously, and ultimately be in awe of his surroundings.

While mudding up took a bit of doing, being a natural clown was a lot easier for Leonardo. He had a mischievous side and would continue to hone it in the years to come, when he entertained cast and crew on the many movie sets he would work on.

I remember one party that I gave in a Chinese restaurant where he folded his napkin into a samurai-warrior kind of hat, then stuck it on his head. It would have been okay if the napkin were clean, but his was covered in duck sauce! Little Leo, we all soon realized, took after his father, who also liked joking around."

Weekend estimates , yes Chainsaw took #1 but it did it with inflated 3D prices, which makes Django's placement even better !

Weekend Estimates

1.

Texas Chainsaw 3D $23,000,000 2.

Django Unchained $20,082.000 3. The Hobbit $17,525,000

Django, from the Weinstein Co., came in a strong No. 2, falling only 33 percent from the previous weekend to gross $20.1 million and jump the $100 million mark at the domestic box office. Django, surpassing Les Mis with a cume of $106.4 million, is on track to become Quentin Tarantino's top-grossing film in North America. Inglourious Basterds holds that record with $120 million in ticket sales.
