  1. Sorry, but with 35 M OW, 100 M is not a lock for any movie. But its in good position to break the 100, no doubt about it.

    8 of the 54 movies that opened between 35-40m did not make 100m

    They were AvP (RT 21%), Oblivion :rant: (personally my least favorite movie of the year RT 53%), Red Dragon (RT 69%), Freddy vs Jason (RT 41%), Scorpion King (RT 40%), 10000 BC (RT 8%), Battle: LA (RT 35%), The Ring 2 (20%)

     

    It is possible that the movie will not clear 100m with a 35m ow, but I think that with the reviews it has received Lone is pretty close to being a lock. 

  2. Does anyone else stream Netflix via Xbox 360? The picture looks like shit. I switched from my blu ray player cause the connection and interface is better but the picture is noticeably worse, had a hazy quality to it. Maybe it's the HDMI cable.

    When I stream Netflix via Xbox 360 I didn't notice a difference in picture quality, but that might be because I am sometimes oblivious to changes in picture quality. 

  3. The BCS was horrible, but I didn't care for the split championships either. Hopefully the upcoming 4-team playoff will be a good start (toward an eventual 8, 12, or even 16 team playoff).

    I hope that with the playoffs a non SC pac-12 team, will bring some respect back to the west.

     

    I mean so what do you guys think will be the biggest sports movie of the year  :ph34r: no off-topic here  :P

  4. I've never really understood the idea behind a films success being due to lack of competition. I mean, sure it makes sense... It's the only option for that demographic...I get that. However, the argument is flawed. It assumes that everyone within a demographic would go see a movie that day or week no matter what... I think the majority of the population only goes to a movie when they are drawn to it for whatever reason. It's not like people are being forced into theaters "now pick".Lack of competition does not guarentee success. Of course it can help, there's no denying that. But it's not the reason. Especially in today's market with so many forms of entertainment, people don't even need to leave there homes to watch a movie. (And in many cases it's cheaper.)If Walking with dinosaurs was the only family movie right now would it have the same numbers as Frozen? I highly doubt that. It would have better numbers, but it wouldn't be near what Frozen is doing. Kids want to see it, the parents hear it's good... So they go to the theater instead of redbox, or bowling... Or whatever.I don't mean to come across as contentious or start a debate. I know this topic has beenHashed out before. Just wanted to share what I thought. I haven't even seen Frozen... (Yet)Oh, and happy New Year!!!

    You bring up a good point.  If other options are more appealing, such as bowling or red box as you stated people will do that.

     

    On the other hand there have been a number of times I saw a mediocre movie because nothing good was out.  I think that the impact of competition is at times overstated, but there are times when people decide to go to the movies and go to whatever sounds best.  I also know people who only go to a certain number of movies per month or year.
