Pretty bad theatre average, lets hope it has some great legs!!

Massive Pixar person here.. In fact the reason i haven't been here the past 3 days is that I've been having a Pixar marathon with friends!! We only didn't watch Cars (duh), Wall-E (people didn't really want to watch it again) and Finding Nemo (everyone has seen it 129083463 times
).Hopefully they do to the medieval fantasy genre what they did to the Superhero genre with the Incredible's :)And 'Take You Inside The Mind' looks insane! -
It is annoying to work with that many MA films
great (yet I hoped it would do badly) for Jack and Jill.. -

It'll be remade, not for awhile but it will be. Some crazed executive (or film director) will have a vision that they can easily make an amazing series for HP and do then try and make it.What i wouldn't mind seeing is a TV show, with each year being a season
Now that would be awesome as! -

Any word yet on how well its doing in NZ?

I'm going to be bold and say a sub 25% drop for hugo.

I fully agree with you! I have probably also seen 100+ movies over the last two years, and only a few films I left the cinema less happy then when i walked in. T:NM was one of those, yet T:E wasn't. It was bad, but it still was entertaining.I really liked the smurfs, very entertaining and Neil Patrick Harris made it all the better!Probably the only film so far this year which has really disappointed me was Sucker Punch.I hold absolutely no stock in what critics say, i'll watch anything. I've seen in excess of 150 movies over the last 2 years, and only 5 have disappointed me (The Last Airbender, Predators, Brighton Rock, Shark Night and Arthur Christmas). Generally because I have little expectation from most stuff, i'm generally entertained. Scoff all you like with the abhorent reviews etc, but I loved The Smurfs this summer. I'm curious to see if many others hold a similar opinion to me.

The closing credits for PA3 was creepy! There was just silence! So unnerving when cleaning the cinemas
-
I don't think it'll reach that level, but with speilburg and jackson+nothing for HF2 (the only buzz is negative), it should do well by default.
-
Breaking Dawn is doing decent still, while saturday was actually rather busy overall. I'm saying roughly $5m BD1 and $4m for the Inbetweeners
750k for Moneyball. Immortals around $1m. Ides of March around $600k (though i don't know how many theatres it is in, so anywhere from 300k-800k) -
Pixar films I think are more adult orientated, with adults taking their kids, not the kids taking their parents
-
Yes it's holidays, but why does that mean it'll have better legs than NM which was at the same time period.. Especially after it had worse legs on wednesday and thursday..
-
Theres alot of Twilight hate here in Australia. And the 2 movies for BD did not go down well at all.
-
I luckily work at a cinemas so pretty much nothing

I think nearly all screens will be 3D compatible by 2014.. But the long run time (which i assume will happen) will definitely dint the BO by $20-$30m.
-
Tangled dropped -32% on Thursday, while the muppets only dropped 23%.. So not that bad for the muppets!
-
Great for Hugo! Terrible for Arthur Christmas, decent for Muppets, not great for BD1.
-
Very interesting! Another chance for him to do some amazing graphics.. Maybe the most realistic/amazing dystopia/apoplectic world yet!
-
If that is true then this is definitely my most anticipated film for 2014!!The last i heared was that Cameron was aiming for 60fps, i think that level of smoothness will bring films to life as much or more than 3d. No doub't in my mind that AVATAR 2 will be just as revolutionary as the first film.
And hopefully cinemas will have the equipment to play at that rate due to The Hobbit :D I can see x5 legs happening if there is another revolution, which appears to be what Cameron is doing. And if the storyline is better then the first (not that hard) and/or more romantic (ie more like titanic) then i can see this surpassing. But it will be a mighty challenge. But i have learnt to trust Cameron, if there is one person who can surpass Avatar in the next 5-10 years it will be him.
-
I'm going for $150/$550.. But there is no precedence for this. The reason why Avatar had such great legs/gross was people seeing it 5-10 times. For this to do any more than $500m, this will need to get those people back at least a few times (though not as many as Avatar, as alot more people would have seen Avatar now and are looking forward to it).Of course it depends on James Cameron, and whether he can make this the 'event' of the year/decade. A 3+ hour film will dent its opening weekend totals, and is partly why I think it will struggle to get past $150.I think this will be filmed in 48fps and at an insane resolution, so if no movie does it between TH and this then it'll be another big drawcard. And i personally also know lots of people who missed out on seeing Avatar on the big screen, who may see this to see what it was all about,

Breaking dawn is down lots, but inbetweeners smashed it again tonight. 4 sessions with 90% or more sold, and a stronger day too. And that was after it was put in larger cinemas due to demand! Immortals doing ok, same theatre average as twilight. Ides of march is doing better that I expected too.
-
Looking at the tickets sold for tonight's sessions online, The Inbetweeners is definitely going to have a great weekend.. Whether it beats twilight though is still very much in doubt. I'll update you guys later!

Any Questions for Ben Discussion Thread

This is the latest film from the Producers and Director of The Castle and The Dish.
Director:
Rob Sitch
Writers:
Santo Cilauro, Tom Gleisner, Rob Sitch
Stars:
Josh Lawson, Rachael Taylor and Daniel Henshall
9th of February release date (been pushed back from Australia Day).
The question is how high can this go? It seems to be a much more vague then the other two, which will definitely play against it. But there is enormous GW from the previous movies, especially The Castle, which is often watched in schools today.
I'm going for 2m/9m for this. Hopefully it can continue the decent runs lately for the Aussie BO and make 10m!
