Blu-ray all the way baby!

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes tickets going on sale today. Considering the overload of advance booking movies we had last year (Kick Ass 2? Seriously?) It's been pretty muted on that front so far. Really early start for Apes though.

Watching my favourite movie, Back to the Future right now. Love it

Good luck! Lots of points this week!

Can't see X-Men passing £7m anymore. It has less show times at my local than X-Men Origins: Wolverine had 5 years ago (MIND FUCK!)

That Harry Potter didn't go PG-13 from Chamber of Secrets. If they'd gone darker at that point the series may not have tapered off quite so much with casual viewers so quickly as it would have been a bigger departure from the first film, presenting a new hook other than Harry being back at school again.

Intouchables is on one of the movie channels. I love that film so much!

Jaws got re-rated as 12A back in 2012, it used to be a PG.

I've got to get past Burton's Batman movies before I watch Jurassic Park again.

A couple of the Tyler Perry movies got released here, but they did very poorly (what a shock). He's just not a known entity here. More people here would recognise him from Star Trek than as Madea.

Great opening considering the Sun, on a par with Star Trek. Should have no problem hitting £20m

You gotta go with the classics man, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy..... Genius stuff.

Count me in the camp of loving Godzilla. Saw it in Liemax this morning, loved the whole damn thing.

I walked out of Little Fockers and New Years Eve. I Was using both to fill time, and I didn't pay for either so I didn't view it as an issue.

There were a good 100 people at my 1130 IMAX screening this morning. Absolutely loved the film.

It's changed now. It's not the heat wave we were promised, but it's a really nice day.

It's pretty grey in Hastings today, so we'll keep it bumped up

Me too. Why should the person who books for a big film on the day have as good a chance at getting a seat as the one who booked a month ago?

The Wolverine, still sealed, only £3!

The people on the cineworld Facebook page are pissing me off with their constant moaning about allocated seating. I may get many angry responses with my retort, but it's fucking pathetic!

I managed to get a sold out cinema laughing during drag me to hell. When she's trying to climb out of the grave and gets hit by the tombstone, I shouted "Owned" and got a big laugh. Fucking hated that film.

That Godzilla number does not compute. Non Sequels not based on YA novels don't do those numbers! Do they?

1) Will Million Dollar Arm open to more than 23.5 million? No 2) Will Million Dollar Arm have an opening day of more than 8.5 million? No 3) Will Neighbors and Million Dollar Arm combine to come within 20 million of Godzilla? No 4) Will Godzilla open to more than 66.4 million? Yes 5) Will Godzilla make at least 150 million WW by the time estimates come out? Yes 6) Will Godzilla gross more than 7.5 mill in Russia? Yes 7) Will Amazing Spider-man fall less than 50%? No 8) Which film will have the softer drop? MNO or LOO:DR? MNO 9) Will ASM's Saturday be within 16 million of Godzilla's? NO 10) Will Godzilla make more than 3.5 million on Thursday? Yes 11) Will Neighbors have a Saturday increase of more than 25%? Yes 12) Name any two movies that will drop more than 35% on Sunday. Must get both films to get points (if you don't think two will drop more, then just put the one that will or put none). The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Neighbours 13) Will TOW finish within 18 million of ASM2? Yes 14) Will MDA place in second? No 15) Will any film have a 200% increase on Friday?

Never feel ashamed annoy watching Pokemon, it's still the greatest thing ever! Watching Ghostbusters 2 and thinking to myself, what would the legs have been like now?

Told you it would be IMAX only
