Pixar always has notoriously bad trailers, that's for sure. The sole exceptions being almost all of Wall-E's and almost all of IO's. IO's "More Than a Feeling" one is the best trailer I've ever seen for one of their movies by a long shot.
-
Phew. That was a close call between some bad directors at the helm. On why Gray is probably a decent choice, I think the Italian Job is the best evidence, not SOC.
-
Oh dear god. How on earth was that a character made by Pixar? Looks like it belongs in the seventh hell of the Circle 7 Animation studio that never happened.
-
I like everything except Spot so far. Both his design and character are already annoying me.
-
The oceans of Pandora angle does open a whole slew of ways for Cameron to blow us all away, I will admit.
-
I really hope it's F Gary Gray over the other 2. Yet to like a Leterrier film and Wingard could be a disaster.
-
Hannibal was right before that and American Gangster is another one of his broke even/barely profitable films. And the man has had surprisingly huge budgets for nearly every film since Gladiator. Again, all of which were either money losers or just barely profitable except Hannibal and now The Martian.
-
No offense, but that rating system seems a bit convoluted.
-
Yes, but Ridley had one of the worst and longest big budget flop track records I can think of, from Black Hawk Down in '01 through Exodus. Tons of big budget movies that were either big losers or just broke even. In fact, the Martian is only his third true big budget success ever.
-
Well to their defense that was a smart guess given he was batting like a 0 out of 10 average for his last decade+ of films up to then.
-
Sure, but even then it seems a bit disappointing for it still compared to Gravity and The Martian. Again, it seems like it should have opened higher than those not lower.
-
With The Martian doing Gravity type of business, it begs the question even further as to why Interstellar didn't open a solid 10m or so higher last year? For all intents and purposes it should've been more hyped and had more going for it than either.

Pan | Oct. 9, 2015 | New Trailer on Page 25!

I'm sure it suffices as a fall family film. Just probably not as anything else. -
Made on the budget of the 90's one.
-
Ugh, probably. We're going to get 6 of these damn things at the rate this one is making money...
-
Thanks. Though it looks like 42% was the Real3D share, 45% total for 3D. But yes, way off from Gravity's 80% share.
-
How do we even know The Martian's 3d weekend share? I don't see it reported anywhere.
-
As in Days of Future Past? No offense, but the X-Men franchise at the box office has literally no business being brought up in relation to Star Wars. In fact nothing does. Hence why Star Wars is the only franchise with multiple movies in the all time top 20 admissions list. And not just 2, but a whopping 4.
-
One of the hardest movies I've ever sat through in the theater, and also one of the only I legitimately fell asleep in. And it still felt like a 4 hour movie, even with the nap.
-
Lord I hope not, or I will be taking a cinematic siesta. Much rather it be similar to the likes of War Horse.
-
Even ROTS admissions plus IMAX/3D inflation gets it in the ballpark of JW's gross. So 5/6 films in the franchise slant the argument heavily in favor of the side I'm on.
-
SLP and AH are both very good on an initial viewing, and subsequently a bit underwhelming on repeats.
-
People can say it's as ridiculous as they want to, but this is the stone cold truth. You better believe it would be beyond disappointing for one of the most, or the most, anticipated movies ever to do less than JW, a movie 4 SW films have easily beaten in admissions. Obviously possible since 650m is guaranteed to nothing, but still incredibly disappointing.
-
Well Thor 2 maybe should've been a big event. But it was a relative non-event. I suppose the same fate could befall Spectre, though that seems much less likely. Also Thor was far younger skewed than Gravity/Martian/Spectre's target audiences.
-
Gravity did not have to go toe to toe with any big movie competing for the same audience until late November with CF, and you could argue that wasn't even targeting the same audience. However, Spectre is coming in less than a month and it should target the exact same audience as The Martian. And then it has another THG movie to deal with after. So I don't expect much for late legs. October legs should be fantastic however and maybe enough to get it to 4x.
