Krissykins Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Yeh this opens next Friday here in the U.K. None of the opening day showings at my local are particularly busy so far. About 10-20 tickets booked for each showing after 5pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Kong was tracking around there as well but made a lot more in the end. BATB also vastly exceeded expectations. I think studios are intentionally low-balling expectations so that they can then "beat" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's time to boost its awareness and interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has the Alien name attached to it, so I don't think it will open quite that low, but I don't see it matching Prometheus. Especially if it's as hardcore an R as has been hinted at.

WrathOfHan Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'll be shocked if this opens below 40M (unless reviews are bad which they probably won't be) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like Wall Street and rating agencies? They'd be shooting themselves in the foot -- they rely on that data for their own internal tasks. The only thing you should consider as "biased" is studio's own official projections (they like to be conservative) and rival studio projections (they like to be a little aggressive). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did not comment on Prometheus's legs at all. If Alien Covenant is better than OK, I would expect it to boast much longer legs than its predecessor, regardless of its OW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigausorus Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) First reactions Quote #AlienCovenant is an intense, strange and nightmarish continuation of the franchise. A great companion to Prometheus & the Alien mythos. Quote Bloody, odd, mysterious and a staggering picture of madness at times. Horrific in unexpected ways. #AlienCovenant Quote So Alien Convenant Definitely worth a trip to the cinema & a large box of popcorn! #AlienCovenant Quote Yes yes #AlienCovenant what an intense rollercoaster of mystery & bloodshed! Haven't stopped talking about it probably won't sleep either Quote Alien Covenant is fantastic and fun and scary #RidleyRules Quote #AlienCovenant is definitely better than Prometheus, bringing back the needed horror into the franchise. Deadly beautiful and mysterious Quote Scared out my nut, jumped wayyy too many times out my seat, add The fact I had my teeth clenched through the whole film too #AlienCovenant Quote First impressions. More satisfying than Prometheus. Last act little messy re: the Aliens. Loved the cast and characters. Quote #AlienCovenant flew by. It will please fans. Lots of classic touches, dark, gruesome at times, of course! Full review on Sunday. Quote Was at the premiere of Alien covenant tonight. Scary stuff! Very good out of very good. Need to watch something light now. Care Bears 2 perhaps Edited May 4, 2017 by Bigausorus 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early reactions living up to what I thought: straight horror film. Hoping for a slasher in space. Lots of idiots, doing dumb things, killed one by one in a gory manner, final girl. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
