lmao OF COURSE

@richtmancharles can you please actually contribute to the conversation instead of just hitting "Not Cool" on every post?

Is it bad I actually do kind of see it?

@MovieMan89 I thought movies always dropped hard on 4th of July? What happened???

@a2k you're good at extrapolating these kinds of numbers. What we looking at for FFH now?

The Lion King Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-14 Days and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 100 1,299 18,477 7.03% Total Seats Sold Today: 65 Bit surprised honestly that this jumped quite a bit (about 25% actually) from yesterday. I kind of assumed that with the holiday and everything people wouldn't be into buying tickets for movies, or at least for one out two weeks from now. Guess not. Really good stuff. Interested to see what Porthos has to say with his data.

So I'm doing my nightly ticket checks, and out of curiosity, I decided to look at OUATIH and see if presales were up. But what's interesting is that there are no Thursday preview showtimes up yet. It starts at Friday. Granted there's only two theaters up so far, so it'll probably be updated, but if there's really no Thursday previews, that's gotta be one of the strangest decisions for a movie, especially for a movie that would probably benefit from Tarantino fans rushing out to see it on Thursday.

Literally how?

It's a pretty interesting film in the sense that it basically killed off Roberto Benigini's, the actor playing Pinocchio, career. It was his first big project after Life is Beautiful was a smash box office hit and nabbed him two Oscars, including Best Actor, but Pinocchio bombed in both Italy and America so hard that his career basically stalled, minus one or two more directing jobs, and a cameo in a Woody Allen movie. Shame too really. Life is Beautiful is still one of my favorite movies ever.

Slightly off-topic, but I discovered Disney actually did create an attraction based on the live-action Alice in Wonderland remake called Mad T Party (yes, really) at California Adventure. It was basically a concert venue/dance party that featured a rock band dressed up as characters from the 2010 movie doing covers of famous pop songs. Interestingly, the attraction was shut down about two months before Through the Looking Glass came out. I guess that closure was the first sign that movie was going to flop.

btw @Porthos CN's Mad also did a whole segment spoofing The Clone Wars. It's basically a more kid-friendly version of those Robot Chicken Star Wars specials

The Lion King Greater Philadelphia Area Seat Report T-15 Days and Counting Sellouts Showings Seats Sold Total Seats Perct Sold TOTALS 0 100 1,234 18,477 6.68% Total Seats Sold Today: 52 Literally half of yesterday when it comes to tickets sold. I expected that, since yesterday was a big promo day, and this still seems solid.

Disappointing to hear about its folding. I was never a subscriber, but I always liked flipping through an issue whenever I was visiting a library or bookstore. I did follow the Mad Magazine TV show that aired on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2013 when it was on though. It's certainly dated now, since it relied on spoofing whatever was topical in that time period (they did so many Twilight jokes), but it still had its charm,

The same joke three times in two hours. It's pretty bold of you to clown yourself like this so frequently, knowing in the end that everyone is gonna make fun of you.

I'm pretty sure Disney never had Depp's Mad Hatter as a walkaround character, even when the first movie was at its peak in popularity, so I don't see why Berry's Ariel would be any different. And I'm pretty sure the Pirates of the Caribbean ride was the only thing at one of the parks to see a notable change after a movie came out (but I wouldn't oppose to an Emily Blunt animatronic at the Jungle Cruise ride).

Y'know if they're already gender-bending Scuttle, I'd be very interested in her Under the Sea cover.
