Straight-to-DVD (2/10)

  1. The best theater in Chicago's Southwest Suburbs did. It is a Marcus Theater and would assume all Marcus Theaters also had $5 Tuesdays. So that is over 1000 screens.
  2. Been awhile. Have to say CM is looking to have a good opening weekend. We are seeing it today. Also and finally isnt it now clear that RT audience is a totally useless score unless you want to use it to measure childish people trying to create discord on social media. So many people afraid of girls.
  3. I think it will be nothing compared to the Avatar 2 drop (if Avatar 2 ever shows up).
  4. I think the actual WOM is better then people think. I think the effort to bring the RT audience score has slowed its BO, but as more and more people actually see it and spread WOM at work, talking to family and friends the true WOM is positive. Of all the people I have talked to only two are on the fence about TLJ. I know it is anecdotal, but it sure seems like everyone I talk to about TLJ liked it or loved it.
  5. I see people bringing up MoS, BvS, SS, JL and Wonder Woman comparing to TLJ and future Star Wars movies. Sorry doesnt compare. There is 1 major reason Wonder Woman did so well and the rest didnt. The quality all around on the DCEU movies. I wanted them to do well. They didnt and the fact of the matter it is because of the vision and quality control. WB with the DCEU went with movies that are a mess. I liked 300 and to a lessor extent Watchment, but his vision of the DCEU is a murky, dark, bloody mess. Nothing visually appealing. BvS and Suicide Squad were just plain ugly to look at (Except Margot) the sound design was a mess, the music was uninspiring. It wasnt the idea of DC comics its what was done with them. It wasnt any sort of fatigue. TLJ hasnt had the blowout week from public WOM. Its weird because private WOM I havent seen the same reaction. Saw it again last night and the theater loved it. That of course is group reaction. When I talk to my family, friends and co-workers no one disliked it. No one can make me believe when I read an article that complains about not getting the back story on the color of C3PO arm in TFA not getting answered in TLJ that there isnt a group of people that want to find something to complain about.
  6. That article is silly in many ways. Come on C3PO red arm and Phasma for instance. Did the original trilogy ever explain C3PO silver leg. What about Boba Fett back story? I could go into others, but spoilers. I will say this some of those were TFA responsibility and some have EP9 still left to explain. Others are either taken care of already or dont matter. Especially 1 which was answered and TFA told us the answer along with JJ Abrams in April 2016.
  7. I do believe the Twitter social media buzz and YouTube has had an effect. Weird thing on my Facebook feed not much talk at all. I guess on Facebook we are afraid to reveal spoilers. In real life I have talked to about 25-30 people directly about TLJ and not one dislike. Various levels from like to love. My middle son really cant stand the Poe/Holdo relationship, but he really like TLJ.
  8. Some schools particularly colleges give a day off between regular class days and first day of finals.
  9. Wow didnt realize they had statistics for that.
  10. Yeah how someone can say TLJ doesnt have hooks. In addition to the conclusion to this story. It is conclusion to saga that likely wont be back for 10 years. It also has the benefit if being very unpredictable as to what is going on in Ep9. One think TLJ did was make it so Ep9 will be very different. We knew much of what would happen in ROTS. We knew what we expected answers to in ROTJ. What can we say we expect to find out in Ep9? All I can say for certain about EP9 is that we will have a confrontation.
  11. Over the weekend CNN had a report on about the RT audience score controversy. They had someone at a theater and they were asking people as they left and they said they couldnt find anyone who didnt like the movie. That is my experience as well. My family and extended family all varied from liked to loved. None negative. The most negative comments from my middle son who really didnt like Holdo and how Poe wasnt told things. Still he liked TLJ and cant wait to see it again when my sister gets in town. Have met no one who would give it a score that RT would take as negative.
  12. Holiday effect has not kicked in yet. In reality schools are in finals week. We were going to go see TLJ again last night. We didnt because my HS son had to study for finals today. He has finals today, tomorrow and Friday morning. That is the case all over. Because of Christmas falling next week schools are out later.
  13. So you arent trying to over influence the number. My point exactly. A 1 will over influence more then a 10 will because even the worst of the real reviews are like 2/4 stars.
