  3. Um.... can't say I was expecting that response, even from you.
  4. Hmm, I just tried Chrome and I get the same problem, although reloading then takes you to the current page. It may be an Invision bug.
  5. Hmm, I just clicked through various threads on my phone and it worked too. There's definitely a pause while the "loading" graphic appears, but it's pretty quick about going away and loading the next page -- probably a couple of seconds at most. You're saying you just see the "loading" and then nothing every happens?
  6. Mobile? Desktop? What browser? The next/previous buttons are working for me.
  7. 1) Peanuts Opening 5 days (until Tuesday) vs Spectre's best 2 days of its OW 2) Peanuts Opening Tuesday percentage change vs Spectre Opening Tuesday Percentage Change 3) Peanuts' Final Gross - Epic Final Gross (107.5M) vs Spectre's final gross - Quantum of Solace Final Gross (168.4M) 4) Peanuts' 2nd Weekend % drop vs Spectre's 4th Weekend % drop 5) Days it takes Peanuts to overtake Goosebumps vs Days it takes Spectre to Overtake Hotel Transylvania 2 (Fastest is winner) 6) Peanuts Total from Day 15 of release vs Spectre total from day 15 of release
  8. I remember really enjoying it when I saw it (in theaters!) as a kid. And in retrospect, it makes sense that it'd be a big hit, being such a notable Australian movie. But there's certainly a world of difference between that and a modern blockbuster (even one filmed in Australia).
  9. It's pretty mindblowing (to me, at least) that something like MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER is bigger -- adjusted -- than MOCKINGJAY. That's crazy.
  10. We don't know if they're preselling foreign territories to cover their budget. They might be fine.
  11. Bale was never on board, that was apparently a rumor which spread out of control.
  12. Interesting article about Australian tax subsidies, the market for native Aussie movies, and the state of the Australian film economy: http://www.theguardian.com/business/grogonomics/2015/oct/26/how-much-does-australia-really-subsidise-overseas-films-and-is-it-worth-it?CMP=soc_568 Jajang, DeeCee, what do you guys think? It's always nice to get some local perspective.
  13. Initial Thursday night sellout report for the LA area: 0 sellouts / 141 showtimes Seems a little light to me, but I don't have a direct Bond comparison.
  14. See, this doesn't make any sense to me. A script is a huge part of the film...any film. This is particularly true when you have someone like Sorkin who has producer-power and hardly gets pushed to the sidelines when the movie goes into production. If you liked the movie and thought it was innovative, Sorkin deserves a healthy chunk of those accolades along with Boyle.
  15. It's a very stylized and artificial movie. I'm not sure why you automatically consider that a negative.
  16. I found it and corrected the archive, but there are more links that probably don't work. I want to wait until the database rebuilding, to make sure that doesn't fix things.
  17. Yep. The background processes are still running. We've been alerted to a few links that don't work, but we want to hold off on fixing them until the whole process is done.
