    I don't get what goes through studio heads minds. Out of all the games they could adapt to a movie and they pick this? With Warcraft due this year too, I guess video game adaptations will remain cursed for a least a few more years.

    What exactly is wrong with Assassin's Creed? I agree that maybe it should have come out a couple years earlier when the games were actually good, but it's still really popular. It's sold over 73 million copies, and the overall concept has potential for a movie, and I think if marketed right, it could seem interesting to the general public. Really, the issue I have is with the scheduling. Why have it premiere a few days after Rogue One?

    I don't know if this has been quoted yet, but this jab at Dirty Grandpa from Deadline made me laugh:

    Quote

    Of the newcomers, Lionsgate and Bill Block Media’s R-rated comedy Dirty Grandpa is in line for the No. 4 spot although it’s being hammered by the critics,including by our own Pete Hammond who called it “stupefyingly awful.” Audiences found it funnier than most critics by giving it a B CinemaScore. Could have something to do with the fact that the average reading level of adults in the U.S. is 7th or 8th grade.

    Happy to see Mockingjay Part 1 potentially getting the #1 highest-grossing movie of 2014. Also interested to see how well-received American Sniper is. Who knows what'll happen on MLK weekend? And let me also say that I am very satisfied with Hobbit 3's #s. Regardless of your opinion, potentially earning $270M+ along with even more worldwide is a good number. What, it not being the biggest smash hit is suddenly wrong? Expecting it to be on the same level as Return of the King or even Fellowship set your hopes up way too high already. But that's just me. :)

    Y'know what I'm surprised by? Not the legs of Hobbit or Mockingjay, but how people are "surprised" at WiB2's performance being better than they thought. Hasn't horror movies in the first week always have a decent opening weekend for the past 4 or so years? While not fantastic, they do fine on the first weekend. Marked Ones, Texas Chainsaw 3D, Devil Inside. Course they all drop down hard, but still.

    Into the Woods

    December 30th, 7:10PM

     

    Crowd: Around 60%, lots of women, girls, and families.

     

    Trailers:

    Black or White- no reaction (Mom didn't say anything)

    Selma- no reaction (Mom's thoughts: "Eric, do you know the reviews for that? It looks interesting.")

    Pitch Perfect 2- some big laughs (Mom's thoughts: "Oh come on Eric, that was funny!")

    Paul Blart 2- big laughs (Mom's thoughts: "Y'know honey, the first was a really cute movie.")

    Tomorrowland- couple murmurs (Mom's thoughts: "Seems interesting.")

    Cinderella- no reaction (Mom's thoughts: "Eh, not a fan. But the effects look decent.")

     

    Movie had fantastic first two acts, but a decent, though not nearly as strong third. But it was easily the worst theater experience I had there. Three girls behind me laughed and talked with themselves through the entire movie, people in the audience moved everywhere, my seat felt kicked, some kid was bored so he/she had his/her Sketcher shoe light up throughout the movie, it was just obnoxious.

    December 6th, 3:45PM

    Crowd: 25%, mainly middle-aged couples.

     

    Trailers:

    Wild-no reaction (Mom's thoughts: "I think I want to read the book first.")

    The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel-some faint laughs (Mom's thoughts: "I thought this already came out.")

    Inherent Vice-little whispers and a couple chuckles (Mom's thoughts: "This seems like a must-see! It's kind of like that Bradley Cooper 70s movie.")

     

    I think Wild and Inherent Vice look entertaining, but I'm clearly not the target demographic for Marigold.

     

    The crowd seemed to really like it. There were huge laughs at appropriate times, as well as a gasp here and there from Mama.

     

    The movie was fantastic. The editing and direction are fantastic, and the acting is out of this world. Definitley a must-see.
