3D is an afterthought in 99% of movies

Seeing as how 99% of them are post-converted, you are absolutely right. The only ones that aren't, are the ones that are native.

So now what does this hold for PACIFIC RIM??? Is there ay movie around it jeopardizing it or what???

 

I don't think this indicates anything for Pacific Rim.  A huge success for Pacific Rim is probably predicted more on audiences rejecting World War Z, White House Down, and The Lone Ranger more than anything else.  And that's impossible to predict this far out.

More important than Trek's numbers why can't I fall back asleep?

You are waiting for the official numbers?

[VanAuger32]

And Life of Pi. But most films it's unnecessary

 

Hugo and Pina also used 3D great but you can still count the number of films that use 3D well on one hand.

May has been busy each year, for quite a few years now...

And Trek is only the second huge-budget release of the month, two weeks after IM3, so I don't think that's valid for this particular case.

 

THE AVENGERS was the only busy film last May lol.

Uhm, apart from Trek, the jump for TGG is really good, right?

[DAR]

Cause you're worked up over TREK'S Numbers is why?? Take a Valium or smoke some weed and you'll fall asleep and forget TREK Bombed..

Actually I'm not. I'm the rara avis of these boards that doesn't freak out over box office numbers good or bad.

[Mojoguy]

How can a movie have a estimated range from 21M-28M? That's so insane!

Yeah, but nothing compared to IM3's jump. IM3 just had "a shocking Friday jump for the ages."

[stiger]

I actually thought the 3D in Trek was pretty good. One of the few things I liked about it.

So good 3D, but the movie sucked?

 

I'm not supposed to see this then.

[Mojoguy]

They're all channeling Kal-el?

Good one!

[DarthPhil]

I loved the movie, it's getting great reviews, word of mouth etc

 

Disappointing.

[VanAuger32]

What are their weekends looking like?

[Biggestgeekever]

Seriously, massively incredibly disappointing. I don't think there's been a blockbuster that's underperformed this much relative to even modest expectations since at least Prince Caspian. Barring a huge Saturday increase, $220m doesn't even seem likely. Unbelievable.

It's really remarkable how IM3 is performing on the weekend, and at the same time, it's also incredible how shitty its weekdays are

What are their weekends looking like?

Like a family movie. Larger Sunday than Friday numbers.

What about the Taylor Kitsch two for one flopspectacular last year?

If Gatsby holds 50% or under that's a victory.  IM3's just a behemoth at this point.

 

Edit: Quoted the wrong quote.  Oh well.

It's been a total roller coaster the past two weeks, but we can stop worrying about it. It's going to perform how it's going to perform and eventually reach 400M domestic.
