  1. Sherlock? Why would a rehash sequel have better legs than the first one? First one had a 3.37 multiplier. SH2 would need a 4.375 multiplier to hit $175m. No chance of that one happening.
  2. I still remember some idiot near me during TDK in IMAX texting. This was on opening Saturday and the guy had stood in line for an hour and a half, but apparently didn't want to see the movie enough to keep his phone off. Pathetic.
  3. That's great. Not surprised it's like that down under. Here in America we can't even get people to stop texting while DRIVING, never mind get them to stop it during a movie.
  4. But it's rare to see a movie where everyone has their attention on the screen. Texting, chatting, cell phone conversations, etc. Plus my local theater fucks up the surround sound a lot of the time. Seems like they crank the surround speakers so much that you can't hear the dialogue.
  5. I don't. I see maybe a handful of movies each year in the theater, at most. I'm very selective in what I'll bother shelling out $10 to watch in a theater. If I'm going to pay that kind of money, it might as well be to own the movie on Blu-ray and that will only happen if I like the movie enough.
  6. I think it's amazing how you find the time/money to go to the movies as often as you do. I mainly don't have the time. I definitely have plenty of cash to blow it on that kind of stuff, but the risk is too high. Why spend $10 on a movie you know is probably going to suck? That line of questioning applies to 95% of the mainstream stuff being put out by Hollywood these days.
  7. Baumer, there is a ton of truth in your post. I think the biggest problem is a combination of high prices and unoriginal content. People will pay the high prices if it's something they really want to see. But if it's just some rehashed stuff, they'll wait to rent. Especially when you can rent movies for $1.
  8. True. Granted, I won't complain about $250m being spent on a Batman movie. I'm sure they'll put it to good use.
  9. Not going away any time soon. Trillions of dollars of debt piled up over decades of wasteful spending by the government and consumers alike.
  10. Not surprised. Movie was average at best, and RDJ mumbled his way through it. Killed the jokes for me.
  11. I mostly agree with this, but the non-70mm showings had the new trailer as well. That wasn't available earlier this week.
  12. You're not delusional. I wouldn't be surprised if the snow is also a tribute to BR. Plus he chose a black Batsuit when he didn't have to.
  13. Sounds exactly like the first movie. RDJ mumbled his way through it, which undermined a lot of the humor IMHO.
  14. Kinda hard to say with Holmes. I would imagine it has a big casual fanbase, so midnight is probably tough to use as a gauge for the weekend.
  15. Yep. Best scene in that movie too. Nolan picked a good one to rip off.
  16. Is he maybe talking about the Selina part where she's wearing the fancy dress and hat? Not sure.
