    AMC to trial pricing based on seat location

    Interesting to note for the smaller screen theater, if a movie sells out, they actually lose $10. 

     

    I can see a handful of people trying to save $2, but not a lot. People will game the system though and go to a low attendance movie, buy the blue seats and sit somewhere else.

     

    $1 extra isn't that bad so most people will put up with it. With that said, making an extra $20-$50 per screening doesn't seem like much, especially because the distributor still gets a cut of that ticket price

    Why because DCEU? when has that affected Nolan the slightest, He was like New Line Cinema horror that is not affected by that either, Syncopy was allowed to do whatever they wanted inside WB, if he wanted even more he could transfer even more to New Line, people are just hating on WB for no reason. 

    Honestly, WB is in disarray. Nolan releasing Tenet during Covid high wasn't smart, but ever since the day and date HBO Max thing and now the shit show that is the Discovery merger, Nolan leaving is for the best. It's like being in a relationship and after 15 years, the person you are left is a completely different. You can stay or realize it's healthier to move on. Nolan doesn't owe WB shit. He already made them tons and brought Batman's popularity sky high.

    This is definitely James Cameron's weakest movie and the worst script he's directed.  Its really fucking long with significant pacing issues(the first movie had tight pacing) and the action(especially that climax, seriously it was lame as hell) aren't nearly as effective as Avatar 1's(probably the most surprising part considering this is James Cameron).  Also, there's no emotional high point like the 9/11 style tree collapse in the first movie with Zoe Saldana crying over her dead father(there's a moment where they try to replicate this feeling but it comes out of nowhere and almost feels tacked on).  The ending is also too long and drawn out.  Oh too much recycled music.

     

    I'd honestly be surprised if this has near the staying power of the first movie at the BO.  I can put my feelings about Avatar 1 aside and recognize it was very successful in what it set out to do.  This movie however is mostly a slog that feels much longer than its already considerable runtime.

     

    I know some people here won't believe me but I did go into this with an open mind, so much so I even decided to give the 3D a shot(the way Jimbo wants me to see it) and I wouldn't recommend it at all, it gave me a low-grade headache for the first hour before my brain finally got used to it and it adds nothing.

     

     

    I agree with you 100%. I saw the first Avatar five times in theaters. This is just an overload g echo of the original. I mean, it was okay, but not Cameron at his finest. I think the general audience will feel the same way. It's the holiday, so it's legs will be good regardless, but not as good as the original.
