  1. Snow White almost edged out That's My Boy. That would have been amazing!
  2. This is what has been bothering me about this movie. Thanks for articulating that!
  3. Finally saw this movie tonight in a super packed theatre. Lots of couples, families, old, young. A very mixed crowd. I wouldn't be surprised if the OW estimate goes up with actuals. I was worried about the pacing since some people complained about it but it didn't bother me at all. I really enjoyed it. My thoughts:*Charlize was OTT but it was awesome to watch.*The creepy brother was creepy as HELL. I definitely got a weird incest vibe between him and Ravenna. Also worst haircut ever.*Kristen is great as Snow. I seriously question the bias of critics who accused her of lip biting and acting like a sulky teenager (aka Bella). She didn't do those things at all. No she wasn't super smiley but there wasn't much to smile about. She captured the innocence of Snow White and looked beautiful.*Chris Hemsworth The accent was questionable at times but he was fantastic. And his tearful speech really touched me.*I liked Sam Claflin ok? I don't care!*The fairies were the cutest things ever. I want the Sanctuary to be a real place. So pretty.A solid 8/10. Better character development and a less abrupt ending were needed.
  4. I tried to watch SWATH tonight but everything I tried was sold out. I went to two different theaters and would had to wait two hours for the 11pm shows and I didn't bother. It was super busy. I think all the rain was driving people to the movies this weekend. I'll try again tomorrow for a matinee.
  5. I'm seeing a lot of 9pm and 10pm sell outs for this in my city. Sales definitely picked up.
  6. AMAZING. $207 million actual. I'm blown away. :o TDKR isn't touching this.
  7. I think the midnight number is amazing for this. Can't wait to see it tonight!!!
  8. Yes this is so true. Most fans of this series come from the Potter/Twilight fandom. They've been aware of this series way before general audiences caught on. And as for which series is more popular, well Potter and Twilight sustained their popularity over 8 movies and 4 (soon to be 5) movies respectively. We need to see what THG is capable of in the next few years.
  9. SSATURDAY 9:45 PM, 8TH UPDATE…EXCLUSIVE: My sources say this opening weekend’s North American grosses for Lionsgate’sThe Hunger Games are likely a humongous $150 million after making $68.2M Friday and $49M Saturday. That would be a record-setter: the 4th all-time biggest opening three-day weekend, beating all the Twilight Saga films but not 2008′sThe Dark Knight, and the highest non-sequel opening weekend ever, and the highest March opening weekend ever. The Twilight Saga: New Moon debuted to $142.8M in November 2009, andThe Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 opened to $138.1M in November 2011. Numbers refined later tonight.
  10. This will do over $12M. I'm guessing closer to $20M. Sure the first Twilight opened with $7M, but who even expected that at the time? Midnights didn't used to be a huge deal. But with Twilight and the last few Harry Potters, suddenly it became the trend with die hard fans. Seeing as how most Hunger Game fans are also fans of Twilight and/or Harry Potter, why would it surprise anyone that they would continue the midnight trend? Lionsgate is following Summit's marketing plan for Twilight to a tee. They've already released info on camping out for the premiere. With how much Lionsgate is riding on the success of this series (and they are not even hiding their desperation, they are being very blunt) don't be surprised to see midnight tickets being pushed, mall tours (like they did with the Twilight actors) and camp outs at the Nokia Theatre the week before the premiere.
  11. Her update says Eclipse made 30.1M. So now we know.
  12. Must be over Eclipse because it takes the #2 spot behind DH2. I'm impressed didn't think it would hit 30 at all.Now the bigger question - opening day?????
  13. My theatre was packed for Jack and Jill. Biggest waste of money ever and on the way out people were saying how stupid it was. Damn you Adam Sandler. You still have so much goodwill from me for Happy Gilmore.It didn't deserve $25M.
