Not a huge Tarantino fan but I can usually appreciate his films and enjoy them enough. But this... Not that it was poorly made by any means, but whoever said it was a strung together set of scenes with about 45 minutes of plot, that is the best description for this I could think of. Not my cup of tea. I wasnt completely bored, but I never really felt engaged in anything not involving Pitt's character. I don't see how this gets any sort of incredible summer legs, but we will see. It could play well to a nostaligc older audience who can really appreciate all the classic Hollywood references. But that isn't exactly Tarantino's typical audience.

My local theaters arent selling nearly as well today as they were yesterday. Yesterday all shows were either sold out or almost full (less then 10 seats left), today, most of the morning shows have all passed without even almost selling out. The later shows are doing much better, but it didn't have the same amount of early morning business as it did yesterday, at least not here in my neck of the woods.

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo

hour long wait on Fandango... wtf. All the theater sites are basically crashed. What the literal fuck. -
I felt like I had a teenager screaming at me for two and a half hours that what I’m seeing is awesome and I should love it and it’s fucking cool. I left feeling like I had a hangover, without having the good time to deserve one. The movie is so loud and obnoxious... the visuals are fine, but after awhile, so much is thrown at you that you just become numb to it all. its too long, the dialogue is awful, the acting is subpar, and the camera is on crack the whole time. Solid 4/10. If this is the future of DC, I think I’m gonna find my way out. now, someone give me some fucking Tylenol.

In my mind, a B- lends itself to the 6.5-7/10 area of things, and a C or C+ would be the 5 or 6/10 that gets a bit more grey. As Val said, not a raving review, but not exactly a read down either.

not a great number for Beasts... Great for Creed though! Damn!

The Box Office Buzz and Tracking Thread: Electric Boogaloo
Kalderic replied to grim22's topic in Numbers and Data
So I come from a very religious area of the Midwest... and the entire weekend of ICOI is basically sold out barring handicap seats and a few singles here and there. This is at the only theater that does reserved seating so I’m not sure how the other theaters are doing, but it’s performing very well here... simon on the other hand, not so well. -

So... I don’t know about anyone else, but it’s dead at my theater and this place sells out for about everything. IMAX is only half full 15 minutes out. Thor 3 sold out an hour before hand. I don’t know if the earlier start has anything to do with it, but I could easily see this coming on the low end of expectations. -
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS | 10 NOV 2017 | Fox
Kalderic replied to kayumanggi's topic in Box Office Discussion
Saw this today. I wasn’t overly impressed with it. The score had a standout moment there towards the end that really made things work much better than they had any right to. It wasn’t bad, just not overly engaging, exciting, or really entertaining. The cast was fine. The production design was solid... it’s a shame. I wish it well at the box office though because I want to see more stuff like this done, just hopefully better. -
This. This right here. I literally was squirming in my seat as that whole scene went on. As someone who doesn't deal well with crowds, noise, invasion of my space, I was on edge. lol Talk about the real horror... As for the movie, I actually liked it. I wouldn't say it was flawless, but I am still digesting. The more I think about it, the more I like it. I don't know that I would watch it again, but it certainly gave us lots to talk about after the film, and in my mind, that's what good cinema should do. I would give it a solid B/B+ right now.

Yeah, it wasn't the travesty I was expecting. I got a little bored in the middle, which for a film that runs a mere 90 minutes should have been able to hold my attention the whole time. I haven't read the books though, so I didn't really know what I was missing. There was a lot of character building and backstory that goes unexplained and we are left with a bunch of characters who basically feel like they have either no motives or their motivations are just poor, which I certainly feel brings the whole film down and makes you not feel or care about anything or anyone on screen.
