  1. Talk about Lazy reporting. Mon or tues, maybe wed, outside chance on thursday, perhaps Friday, but almost assuredly on Saturday unless it happens Sunday.
  2. I have and the last season of the show mixed elements beyond where the books were already. So I only knew about half the events from last season ahead of time. That said the show saw a noteable drop off in quality especially in terms of writing since there was no book source material to leverage. Im afraid thats going to be the case till it finishes. Shame because the books are PHENOMENAL.
  3. Football playoffs for CFB have an impact as does NFL week 17. Yesterday there were very good college bowl games on suppressing movie going audiences. 34m is a very good number. 100m doesnt look good but 95 is still possible.
  4. 1B Domestic odds are higher than not at this point IMO. Not a lock but trending this way.
  5. Perfectly realistic given the quality of the prequels. This is what happens when you make a good Star Wars movie.
  6. It was more of an inside joke instead of randomly popping over after 3 years to say hi.
  7. Dont forget Puerto Rico. We must never forget... Figures my first post in 3+ years is about Puerto Rico.
  8. TDKR is not going to increase today.At the end of the movie where goes to and then but I dont think isn't even there, and believe pineappale who saw that coming?
  9. No 3D has been around awhile. Avatar was actually shot in 3D as opposed to converted in Post.
  10. I used to say "Never compare any movie to Titanic - it's unfair". Avatar decided to join Titanic anyway, with ridiculous legs - which were supposed to be impossible in today's Box Office world.TDK performed just like a Blockbuster, as did Avengers, neither of which should be mentioned as Titanic or Avatar-esque. Even though Avengers made it to $600M it's performance was not like that of the two noted films above. Different beasts entirely.TDKR is going to be a smaller TDK. It WILL gross less, and it WILL NOT make $500 million.The only question is how happy will you guys be at ~$450 million?
  11. I think the run is just not going to be impressive regardless of holds.I went again last night, and ended up running out of the house at 8:05 to drive 5 miles to see an 8:15 showing. Had no idea it was an IMAX. Got there, and was told I was buying the last ticket. I was by myself. Figured I wouldn't get a decent seat, but no, found one right in the middle.The movie holds up very well the second time, and I unquestionably like it more than TDK in every way but one. The Ledger Joker is the only thing from the TDK that trumps TDKR for me. Yeah granted it's a big thing, but that's it. I thought Hardy does an amazing job as Bane, despite the limitations of the character given you cannot see half his face. And Hathaway, well, get in line boys, she's mine.Point being, it's a shame the movie is going to under-perform, and its even more of a shame the reason why. I think Nolan has ruined the Batman series as well. The movies he made will not be equaled, and I hope he decides to do one more later on. There are plenty of good villians to choose from, especially given some of the early rumors on TDKR, like Philip Seymor Hoffman as a Russian Arms Dealer, the Penguin, etc....I just cannot see any more Batman's being remotely this good.The final gross is going to disappoint a lot of you IMO.
  12. Your credentials sir. I was pretty clear. Regarding families, the family crowd has stayed away. I cannot wait to hear your resume and qualifications, along with examples of your opinions being validated literally hundreds of times like these two folks. You must be pretty qualified given your bravado. http://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=3&pid=193352 family biz is definitely sharply impacted today crowd is mostly college age and above so yes the aurora impact on attend is real {nm} http://www.hsx.com/forum/forum.php?id=3&pid=193353 imax is still doing more than fine but that core audience is that age and not families {nm}
  13. Hold on Sun is slightly worse than TDK but same general ballpark.Hows business today Rth?
