  1. What is the next Big Blockbuster to open ? And by that I mean with big BO numbers ? (at least as Big as Rev)
  2. Right ... do you know that only 9 movies made more than 450m domestic ? So you are saying that a movie that made more than twice as much as every other movie in existence (expect 8 others) is very little ? Every year there are more than 500 movies made by hollywood fyi. Dude you have no idea of what you are talking about.
  3. Come on Kal what are your sources. Disney is building ONE theme area in Animal Kingdom not 3 !
  4. Where do you get this from, give us source ... The only thing I heard of is a themed area of Animal Kingdom (part of Disney World) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandora%E2%80%93The_World_of_Avatar It's not a whole theme park... Star Wars also gets a themed area in both Disneyland and Disneyworld https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Land You see Kal, with source, if not your information are as valuable as me saying random thing like "Russians are building a real pandora moon in space"....
  5. Finally got to see this with my wife. She loved it. I really wanted to like it, I saw a lot of strenghts. Loved Blanchet's performance, the flares and the close up were good, costumes were awesome. But I was bored during the movie and this is rare. The familly / divorce part worked for me and I was emotionnaly invested, but the love story did'nt quite do it for me. I'm still happy to have seen it, I just did'nt enjoy it as much as I wish I had. Also I went to a small cinema that I don't usually go to and the movie had some kind of "texture" in the whites. I don't know if it was from the projection or it's in the film. But it kinda bothered me.
  6. 25M for TFA 5th Week end. I guess it's what was expected with Friday's number. it's still the 4th best 5th week end of all time.
  7. Could you guys explain this whole limited release thing ? I was watching Carol numbers and it stayed in 16 theaters for 35 days !!! Before it was pushed to 180 theaters on the 36th day then 525 on the 50th ! Then I watched "I Origins" numbers and it never made it passed 122 theaters and it was never released internationnaly. Why spend so much time and money on a movie to make a fake half release like that ? I don't understand. What about Monsters (2010) what are these numbers ? Was it even released in the theaters ?
  8. Actually, I saw people mentioning The Danish Girl a few pages before and it didn't raise my attention. However after Mr "No Pink for Straight Men" changed the name it got my attention and I checked what the movie was about and now I'm interested and I'd like to see it. A bad for a good I guess. Edit : Also to anyone wondering how I could not have heard of it, I live in France and it's not out yet. And I don't really follow movies until they come out.
  9. I was watching the numbers of JW's 4th week end and I saw a 70% raise on Friday. Why do you guys expect a 45+ M week end ? Do you think it will behave like another movie ? (I saw Avengers that had a bigger increase but a lot of others had a 70% increase on the 4th Friday)
  10. People will also clap in Europe when the landing is hard. I like that, it's like aknowledging the pilot's skills for landing with bad conditions. My mum told me that people used to clap at every sucessfull landing in the 70's.
  11. Haha week end numbers are coming, I'm exited. I hope it will not disapoint. I'm actually surprised that Friday is so big in the US. I mean, Saturday is only a little bit bigger but people have all the day to go to the cinema instead of just on night. Shouldn't Saturday and Sunday be the big days ?
  12. I have just seen a promotion clip for TFA in China and I thought I would share it with you guys : Yep.... That's bad taste (and I'm not talking about the one by Peter Jackson, that one was awesome).
  13. Well ... If it performs that well it means we are going to have awesome years of BO runs ! 810 M DOM is the least ? OMG that tops previous all time record it's amazing. I am a little more pessimistic, but hell I'd love to see those runs. Edit : I also hope they will cast Sophie Marceau.
  14. Yep 3D was awesome, 3D helped whatever. But it was not the only quality in Avatar and it does not explain alone the outstanding BO performance, and I'm not going to go into the details because it's been done over and over again in this post. However, has any of you seen any 3D movies like Avatar ? Anything that even got close ? Ok maybe Gravity and I heard pirahna 3D got it right somehow, I cannot check it out because I ain't got no 3D cinema at home though. I think Avatar 2's 3D will be awesome, I willl go see it in 3D, and that is rare as I now hate 3D because of how awefull it looks in every single other movie. If it is indeed another awesome 3D experience, I don't see why it will not be a sucess. Bear with me I'm no Kal, I don't think it will top Avatar actually (and that is sad because I'd love another crazy BO run to follow). So yeah my point is, if 3D (and the rest) is great, people will go, maybe repeatedly. 3D is no one time gimmick. No other movie got it right, maybe this one will, maybe people will go repeatedly.
  15. Ok you just made my "Troll" list and I will never argue with you again. That or you have no idea what a makes a movie good. Or you are Kal playing with another account and then you are a Troll blinded by fanboism that doesn't recognize a good movie when he sees one.
  16. That's the beauty of it, you are always more scared of what you don't see. I remembered when I saw Silent Hill and the Siren started and all went dark I was fucking scared, then they showed the grotesque monsters and all of a sudden I found them ridiculous and the movie went on. Also we actually do see the monster at the end of Alien, and I saw the movies as an adult starting with the first one so nope. Didn't picture nothing in my head and I loved the movie for all different kind of reasons. I also love Aliens, just differently (and less but it doesn't matter). I could also argue that you liked the 2nd because of the first and you know I could find good arguments but what's the point ? Both are great, some prefer one, some prefer the other. But there is no definite better one, and the 1st is not good because of the second, that's grotesque, like the Silent Hill monsters.
  17. Exactly this. First time I watched Aliens I was a little disapointed how "easily" they killed the monsters compared to what a pain it was to kill just one in the the first movie. Of course a team of trained soldiers can fight better than the Nostromo crew but still I enjoy this idea much less. The rest in Aliens is fantastic, it's scary because of atmosphere, because of the nest, because of newt etc... Team Alien though sorry.
  18. As much as I like Aliens I really do not think it tops Ridley Scott's Alien as it is a really different movie. I think I prefer the first one actually. However yeah, T2 omg.
  19. I went twice in 2009 because I loved the experience in the cinema (of course including 3D). I never go to see a movie twice in the cinema. This and Gravity are the only movies I saw that got 3D right, all others were completly useless in 3D to the point that I don't go to 3D shows anymore. And yeah I thought that it would be a shame to watch it on a TV without 3D and I was not interested in watching it again until a few days ago. My wife had never seen the movie btw. So we watched it on our big screen TV in 1080p and it is still fantastic. It is a nice adventure epic movie that brought back the things I liked as a kid. My wife loved it also. Of course it's all CGI and it's apparent but hell I'm a video game player and I keep tellig myself how fantastic modern games look so I cannot blame Avatar for looking like a breathtaking video game. It does look fake though, but a good artistic fake. I feel like blaming Avatar for looking fake is a stupid as blaming Van Vogh for his painting style. So yeah, 3D was awesome, 3D brought me back. But Movie is great, BlueRay was Great, stop the useless hate.
  20. And it's because of re release I'm an idiot ... Edit : Whoah these re releases are impressive !!
  21. I have noticed something that I don't understand. Looking at the following chart, Snow White made 184 M in 1937, while GWTW made 198 M in 1939. Yet GWTW is adjusted to twice as much as Snow White ! Why ?
  22. I can't wait for China to open. I know most predictions say that it is not going to be a huge hit there but I still want to see the numbers.
