What was your single biggest movie wish/dream that didn't happen?
BadAtGender replied to BobbyJohn's topic in The Speakeasy
That would certainly be a movie I wish happened. Although I'm not entirely sure I want Cameron to direct it. -

So UFOTOG must be the shorter test piece for the longer feature? It does use the 120fps tech. And the Cinerama screen isn't quite real IMAX big, but it's pretty huge. -

Do you mean beyond a short? Because he made that. I think it's called UFOTOG. The Seattle Cinerama premiered it earlier this month as part of their sci-fi festival. (I missed seeing it, unfortunately. Trumbull was there and gave talks for it and various other films they showcased one of the weekends.) -
BSG: Congratulations to FILM!

Not even in the top half. Gah. -
Yeah. 2013 was a weird year. The top 3 DOM earners are all within $25m of each other. The only years since '89 that had a spread that was closer were 2007 and 1995. Both were within 20m, but the grosses were quite a bit lower as well. But 2002 was quite strange because there was a wide spread in both the DOM and OS earners that didn't match up. Now I'm curious about what years where the DOM winner didn't get the OS or WW gross.

And I still suck at this game. When I finally bet on Captain America, it fails me. -

Y'know, even if Frozen had only done what Corpse predicted each weekend, it would still be doing phenomenally well.

Since it's passed IM3 OS, we now (for the next few days) have three different 2013 champions. CF is the DOM champion, Frozen is the OS champion, and IM3 is the WW champion. Also, if that BD info is legit, Frozen will probably be somewhere around $250m at that time.

Frozen's weekend gross in Japan came to 7.966m -
I keep trying to remember to go see it when they play it at the Cinerama each year. I tend to forget when they do it and only notice a few days after it plays.
-
Yeah, I dunno. I've seen parts of all of them, but never got around to see them entirely. Granted, until a few years ago, I'd never seen The Terminator. I'd probably seen almost all of it in bits an pieces, but never all the way through. There are holes in my viewing history, is what I'm saying. It's a slow process to get through that. Other films I haven't seen: Titanic, Lawrence of Arabia, several Hitchcock films, etc. etc...
-
Yeah, I know. It was mostly something I'd been curious about earlier in the day. It's still a not bad collection of films that are both popular and regarded as very good. The top 5 highest rated I haven't seen: The Shawshank RedemptionThe GodfatherThe Godfather: Part IIOne Flew Over the Cuckoo’s NestGoodfellas

1.3 billion seems like it might be a safe assumption. If it keeps up the current pace, it should get to $200m in Japan in the next two weeks, so it'd just need $75m or so beyond that to get there. So it should beat Avengers OS. DH2 is a bit harder, because it requires it to get past $300 in Japan. Tough call, but possible. There's a chance it gets to $1b OS. although that's requiring Japan to get close to $400m Avengers WW probably isn't going to happen, mostly because it needs over 1.1b to do it, so that would be saying that Japan alone is going to be at $500m. Which would be awesome, but it would probably need to not only continue to play strongly through the summer, but then not experience declines to it can take advantage of the New Years holiday. And then probably spring break... Again. I'm not saying it can't, but that's mostly because we're pretty much in the territory where predictions are useless. There's no path to track that provides a guidance at this point. We may as well say it's tracking to earn an undecillion. So, yeah, as much as I've said SK was the most impressive territory before, at this point Japan has supplanted it.
