The Fall Out Boy version only plays briefly when they're on their way to make their first public appearance in the Ghostbusters costumes.
The Walk the Moon version plays over the end credits (which are a hoot by the way, that Chris Hemsworth dance should've been in the actual movie). The original Ray Parker Jr. version plays at the very beginning of the movie.
It is obvious Feig wasn't a fan of the Sony forced , likely, fallout boy version. It isn't even on during credits the walk the moon version much better and made the credits even better.

Not many in my audience, but they loved it. Tons of positive reactions. Also a good bit of jumping. Definitely scary parts.

Someone asked about parking lot, nearly empty. I guess every car was for this movie.
-
Theater was mostly empty while getting concessions and stuff...so I was in no hurry seeing as how we were 40 minutes early. Went into take seat with 30 minutes left. Place is nearly filled. Deceiving.

Do you have a source for that?
Critic tweets, in an article I read yesterday. I am sure if you really want to verify you can search a bit. It was like 10 minutes parker, 20 minutes Spidey and article name was something like, there is more Spiderman than you think in civil war.

I though there was like 30 minutes of Spidey/parker in civil war

48ish I'd guess, assuming the 15M number. Could go lower, could eek out 50
Ouch...
Saw the movie last night and I would give it 6/10 because I loved like 30% of it and that barely outweighs all the issues for me.
But if I am being honest I felt like I was watching two movies mashed together in a somewhat nonsensical way. They should have done solo batman and another man of steel before BvS Imo and had cameos for other JL members peppered in both.
This movie legit makes me mad solo batman movie didn't come first, I think it could have been a perfect batman film.

I am genuinely surprised if 15m is close to the actual number. Wouldn't that make it so 50m isn't even guaranteed?
What is the weekend looking like if 15m was Fridays number?
-
My BvS showing ended up with around 35-50 people before movie officially got underway.
Also wtf we got no Civil War trailer. My sister somehow hasn't seen the Spiderman one yet and I was hoping they would have it.

Up to about 15 people. Phone off now.

Reactions have not been very good overall from my family and friends. Even people I follow om twitter were pretty split. But I expected as much. Waiting for my sister to see it before I decide if I will even see it in theaters. She is the biggest batman fan and I am curious what she will think.

Honestly fans of DC over Marvel should be happy. Because even a worse case, Snyder leaves justice league maybe delays, doesn't mean this movie does dismal in box office.
The worse case here is really likely a win win, better directors,a new direction, and you still get your DCU because no way this movie does poorly enough for those plans to change.
In a coincidence, my wife texted me she would take one for the team and go with me this weekend if we went to a matinee...so maybe I will get to see it. The batman fanboy in me is likely clouding my judgement, but I still want to see this soonish.
-
Look at the people going "I was excited to see it, but I'm not going to now because the reviews are bad", it's not a caricature, I've seen it. That's what I'm talking about.
Weird for BvS that it was much bigger than MOS in Paris at 2 pm and ended up doing less on the full day. I think the weekend will do well.
I mean any comic book fan, even those that greatly prefer Marvel, would likely have an itch to see this had reviews been glowing. And I suspect many people where beginning to get swept up in the trailers and clips and early fan impressions.
So when critics, and a few fans who were mostly silent that first night, confirmed all the fears then the same people came crashing back to earth or get burned up because they got to close to the sun.
On this forum there was probably a sizeable portion that fits into this group.

Of the people who look to reviews many of them likely know what they are looking for when skimming through reviews. For me in this movie it was mainly concerned about a few things for my wife, need her to be entertained on a date night, and came to the conclusion she would not be. She NEVER made it through Man of Steel even so I find it a stretch she would make it through this and I am not spending $30+ for her to fall asleep or not care.
That is how many people who rely on reviews use reviews. They make a judgement call based on their desires or wants for a movie. When a transformers movie is destroyed by a critic but they say "the fights and destruction are amazing and it can be stupid fun" then many people see that as fitting what they wanted anyway.
So this idea that people open RT and just see scores and decides "ew, nevermind" isn't necessarily true IMO.

Aren't alot of things closed in France right now though?
I think airports were closed, and I've heard about banks, but that's about it.
Oh, I am sure reviews as well as security are going to have some affect though. Much of Europe may be lower than it had been just for security reasons, which makes reviews even more important Imo because some people may just not even bother later either if they don't hear great things.

why can't Shia return? He is still acting. If they don't want him they will likely just ignore his character
His character is important IMO. Almost wouldn't make sense to continue, or finish, without the character. And I don't see how this can't be a definitive passing of the torch, I mean the last one was probably meant to be that but Shia's antics and the poor reception have forced Disney to do it again.
-
It goes without saying Shia won't be in this, right?
I assume he has to be recast. And a joke about the recast will be made.
-
Ford got hurt walking around the falcon. I am no quite sure how this will work. Recast the son and pass the torch a bit? Maybe it is time for Indy to die too.
It would be amazing if Ford could bring closure to his biggest characters from Raiders, Star Wars, and Bladerunner. How many actors get to do that 30 years later?

I would think most schools would be out the last two weeks of march. Which wouldn't include this week. Especially because of Easter falling in march this year. It just makes sense to do spring break the week of Easter when that week is in march.
Pretty sure this movie will see an great next three weeks, Easter should be nice to this movie.

Movie can only be so long. I felt they showed all they needed of him being upset and shunning her. She gave a heart felt plea and he let her. Not sure what more you wanted. Movie could have easily been 2 hrs but for a family movie that would not really work either.

I also found a blog post that suggests that Judy did not deserve Nick's forgiveness:
After all, Judy says, "After we're done, you can hate me." Wouldn't it be such a gonadsy move to actually go that route? Have them save the day, but not be together?
Ridiculous... everyone has a little bigotry in them sometime in their lifes. The question is can you overcome it and move past fearing those that are different than you.
If Nick does not forgive Judy that we are saying there is no way past bigotry and racism.
So much this.

What are you talking about, my Deadpool line was full of teenaged boys.
All of which were over 17 (the age of which you can be admitted into an R-rated film without supervision), I'm sure. It's anyone under that that was pretty much locked out.
For years (if not decades) there has been a belief that Hollywood mostly caters to the teenage boy demographic in which action pictures with that audience were the kind of movie regularly cranked out the most with other demographics (females, in particular) being largely underserved with "event" titles for said markets. In recent years, we have seen a shift away from that kind of mindset as the traditional action picture has mostly become extinct unless it's a brand name or has a big star involved and more "adult" focused pictures (like The Revenant) are largely dominating the box office scene, with young males mostly only showing up for the "franchise" titles. A movie like Deadpool probably would've been forced into being a PG-13 a decade ago.
If my theater was any indication parents don't care. Theater was half kids. I mean kids, under 10.
