I don't get why Focus is dumping Mrs. Harris in less than 1k theaters with a minuscule marketing campaign when it sounds like a crowdpleaser. Vengeance will suffer in a couple weeks too.
Paws of Fury going sub-5M is the perfect result for a movie initially scheduled for Early 2017
Early 2017?! Yikes. That's some stale bread.

This looks so good wow.
Its insane to me that TV shows are looking like actual movies. Granted, its the most expensive show ever made but still.WOW. This looks soooo much better than that first trailer. Definitely on the hype train now.

Is there anyone here who can explain to me how to use the ignore button or the ignore feature? I've never looked into it wouldn't even know where to look. How do I put somebody on ignore?
Just drag your arrow to the person's name and hold it for a second. A screen will come up that has links to message, ignore, etc.

Yeah I can't see anything higher than low 50's for L&T
The inescapable math for Thor is that the more people who see it, the more people there are to tell the secondary wave of casual viewers that it's just not that good. I think that's where the real effect of D+ will come in. Nobody's going to feel like they're missing out by waiting.

It’s Tuesday the 12th of July otherwise known as the $600M day for Top Gun Maverick. How did it manage that without any lightsabers or superheroes or blue creatures or a sinking ship?
Good storytelling and like a lot of things in life, being in the right place at the right time. After 29 mos of Covid hell and years more of living in a society that is seemingly at odds on everything, it's pretty damn cathartic to watch a bunch of brave, beautiful men and women join together to just get the job done. It's so much simpler than dealing with a virus that mutates every ten seconds or a political system that is broken to the core.
It's a great movie but if it had been released on its original date, I don't think it would have become the phenomenon that it did. It would have been big, just not this big.

Not to mention we have Bale himself talking about how they cut his scenes down massively
Damn. And Bale was the best part of the movie by far.

What the general consensus as what's better? AMC Dolby or Cinemark XD?
I actually avoid XD like the plague. Saw Grindlewald, Bohemian, and Rocketman in that format and each time I left the theater with an earache. It's SO freaking loud.

Interesting that test screens for Amsterdam haven't been very good. I thought the trailer looked awesome.
Me too. It was my favorite trailer of the bunch that preceded Thor.

Thor: Love and Thunder
7:00 PM opening night Salt Lake Sugarhouse Cinemark.
95% full.
Trailers:
Amsterdam
White Bird
Paws of Fury
Strange World

A few murmers at Amsterdam and Avatar, otherwise no reaction to the trailers.
For an opening night Thor crowd, this was pretty sedate. Scattered laughs throughout, but the big third act
SpoilerNatalie Portman scene with Gorr that was supposed to elicit cheers
was met with total silence. No applause at the end but most of the audience stayed throughout the credits.
Did a totally unscientific survey afterwards of 7 people. Two loved it, two thought it was "a good time," one gave it a B-, one said it was alright but had too much humor, and one girl said she was glad she got drunk beforehand because she didn't think she would have liked it if she'd had to sit through it sober.

What a weird, soulless jumble of a movie. Killer concept, great cast (Bale's Gorr is right up there with Thanos as the best MCU villain, IMO), but every time the stakes start to matter, the tension is dissipated by a stupid one-liner that reminds the audience that this is all just a joke, so don't take it too seriously. Jane visiting the cosmic version of Mt. Olympus, on her way to meet the granddaddy of all the Gods, Zeus, and what is she consumed with? Coming up with a catch-phrase. 🤦♂️What should have been a sequence filed with awe and wonder instead reduces this brilliant woman to her grade-school self (maybe she caught this from Thor, who at least for the first 60 minutes, has inexplicably turned into a pompous blockhead), and for me, that kind of typified the whole movie.
The film finally gathers some momentum in the last act, and I thought the whole sequence on the Shadow World was brilliant, but by then it's too little too late.

Love and Thunder Salt Lake City Sugarhouse Cinemark update, 1 hour before previews.
Thor put on a great sprint at the end at my non-PLF theater. 500 total tix sold for preview night. That equates to:
119% of Batman ($25.65)
137% of Dominion ($24.72)
254% of Eternals ($24.11)
575% of Ghostbusters ($25.86)
Sorry I don't have the big comps like NWH, DS2, and Top Gun, but safe to say, this is finishing strong.
I'll go with 27/148 for the weekend.

I'd say that they will show a trailer for Shazam as well.
Yeah, that would make sense, especially since it's likely to be attached to SuperPets when that opens six days later. Speaking of SP, I'm guessing The Rock will be promoting that at SDCC as well.
-
The little 19 second announcement video is actually punchier and better edited than the full trailer. What I'm wondering is, is this a DJ solo thing or are other DC films going to be showcased? I could see why they might elect to just lay low this year since it would be really weird to have Shazam and Aquaman there but not Flash, but I'm guessing the last thing they want to do right now is get the media talking about Ezra again.

Black Panther will be huge. Americans love the "r.i.p movies".
see how the dark knight and furious 7 exploded
I know here the dead actor is not on scene but still ...
BP will open huge and then its legs will depend on the quality. But the 'R.I.P.' factor won't play any part in it. Walker and Ledger were both actually in their respective movies... who in their right mind would be more amped to see a movie because a beloved actor wasn't in it?

Still don`t know how i feel about this movie. Need to see it again for sure.
But i understand why it will be mixed reviews
GOATS are GOAT though 😆
7/10 for now
I'm not aware of any other movie in history that has received the kind of goat accolades that this one has. Excited to see it this weekend and discover what all the fuss was about. 🐐

Whatever, just saw Elvis today and hot damn, that was great. (And I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd be saying that about an Elvis movie.)

You're saying Krypto the Superdog throws the dog voiced by Kevin Hart into the sun for saying one too many homophobic slurs? I knew he was a true ally!
That's Ace the Bat Hound (in the comics he wore a mask to protect his secret identity) and I'm sure Bruce and Alfred would have taught him better!

Quick Thor update from Salt Lake City. Sugarhouse Cinemark preview night, 9 shows, non PLF.
Total tix sold 227
Percentages vs FINAL counts:
115% of Eternals (10.93)
261% of Ghostbusters: Afterlife (11.74)
54% of Batman (11.66)
62% of Dominion (11.16)
Solid, but hopefully can get a review boost next week. Right now I'm expecting low 20s.

Honestly whatever way you interpret it, there is a group of critics who just have no time for the MCU anymore and just say any old shit.
Not that I disagree with that, I think Marvel fatigue is becoming a thing. The overload of mediocre content since Endgame is real.
It’s just I think discourse of the MCU has become more toxic in recent times. I think Marvel just needs to take a break but instead it’s doubling down.The discourse of everything has gotten more toxic in recent times. The nature of Twitter obliterates nuance, and the angrier and more outrageous your take, the more you're rewarded. I deleted my account several years ago and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Can't wait for L&T!

Good to know. 👍 We definitely don't have the same taste in movies then.

Yeah some more screenings have been happening.
I'm going to be really bummed if L&T is worse than Strange. I didn't think MOM was bad, but it was definitely less than I was expecting. Other than the sheet music battle, which was brilliant, and a few moments of genuine emotion at the end before they wrecked it with that dumb eye thing (Seriously, can Marvel ever just let a story end??), there's nothing about that movie I'll remember a year from now.
