    This week's hottest tickets

    1 Monsters University Must Go! Buy 2 World War Z Go Buy 3 Man of Steel Go Buy 4 This Is the End Go Buy 5 Despicable Me 2 Go Buy

    I've heard rumors you can buy your way onto this list kind of like ad space...not saying DM2 isn't the 5th best selling movie, or that the others aren't 1-4, just saying.
  2. In the States, they are starting to figure out that the silent majority doesn't like it. We are speaking with our wallets judging by the low 3D percentages of pretty much every movie in the last couple years. The only reason a movie like IM3 or TA opened with a 3D share around 50% is because people wanted to see the movie no matter what. 2D shows would sell out first and then people would be forced to see it in 3D if they wanted to see it ASAP. But for movies where the demand isn't so high to see the film itself, the 3D percentage is a joke. If you take out IMAX (which charges a premium for 2D and most people just want to see a movie on a bigger screen), the 3D share on films like Star Trek 2 and Man of Steel was pathetic.

    Bolded is why studios will never stop releasing movies in 3D...post converting a movie to 3D cost very little and the return on investment always pays off. I really dislike post converted 3D, but filmed in 3D (like Avatar and Hugo) I think is great actually. So let's keep filmed in 3D but kill in fire post converted 3D.

  3. It opened against an 82 million opener and a 66 million opener both of which cut into it's audience. Most films would have trouble maintaining a good drop

    It's basically this...I posted before Friday that MU will take most the family and some female it had ow Sat and Sun/fathers day, and WWZ will take the young action fans and rest of female demo...it was a doubly whammy of trouble and with such a big ow it was bound to drop big (though I thought more like 60-62%, not 65% unfortunately).
  4. NYSM's RT score really surprises me. How did it score that low? I mean for a majority of the critics to just flat out dislike this movie is weird - I was one of the early champions of this movie via my FB and my early reactions posted to a lot of forums including this one and I am pretty happy with the way it is performing. But, IMO, this is not deserving of such a low RT rating.

    Majority dislike?? It's basically 50/50 with critics so not sure what you mean. And MOS is the same way, it's basically 50/50 with critics (close to 60/40) so almost the same.
  5. But buddy...I could tear IM3 apart. Its shit imo in a lot of ways. You might feel otherwise but thats just one opinion.

    Yeah I guess you're right I don't know where I was going with that lol. I think I'm just any easy grader and for me to say something is "shit" it has to have almost no redeeming values and be just awful, like a low budget made for TV movie on syfy or something haha.

  6. So wrong. People can say it was shit and if that is how they feel that is how they feel.

    I think it's more what ones definition of shit is...not that if someone thinks it's good or bad. Like when you ask a friend hey how was that steak, and they're like it's the best steak in the world (or worst ever), etc...is that really it, or just your emotional reaction, etc. A shit movie to me is a very extreme case of awful, not just something that I didn't like or was bad or not that good, etc.

  7. FTF did you like MOS ?

    Sure did...story and writing/dialogue were a little spotty in some parts but the amazing action more than made up for it and love the character Superman so great to see him back on the big screen. Technology has finally reached the point where a great action packed Superman was possible and MOS did that very well. I'd give it a solid B+ and look forward to the sequel (and dream of a Batman/Superman world's finest movie...hhnnnggg).
