Letsuseournoggin Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Which should I see first, MU or DM2?? MU 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted July 5, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted July 5, 2013 I'm actually thinking Fri could be scattered (some small, some big). Without Thursday actuals, hard to extrapolate. But if that DM2 # holds below $24m, that's one I definitely think will increase more than the 20%/22% MIB2/Powerpuff did in 2002. Like I mentioned though, won't be surprised if Thu's actual ends up higher. TLR I'd imagine will have one of the smaller increases if its Thu estimate holds. Actually, just realized the revised #s were in. So, yea, I still think it'll be scattered. Thinking DM2 could increase as much as 25%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why single out superhero films? Stupid Cameron. Doesn't help that he is responsible for this pain in the ass trend in the first place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Now You See Me was rotten also, remember that Can you imagine people that liked the first, actually saying that they will not see the second because a bunch of critics on RT didn't like it? It's absurd. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndustriousAngel Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 3D is dead in the US at least. I'm not sure 3D is dead but I am sure I feel ripped off if they demand a 3D price for a movie they didn't shoot in 3D. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help that he is responsible for this pain in the ass trend in the first place. Convenient that the headline says something just to get people angry. Here is the actual quote: Wrapping up, he says that films like Man of Steel and Iron Man 3 “should not necessarily be in 3D. If you spend $150 million on visual effects, the film is already going to [look] spectacular [and] perfect.” We’d like to think most audiences would agree with these statements. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 And Avatar desperately needed a better script. But I guess we can't all win.... In your opinion maybe. But when a film grosses 2.8 billion dollars, a full billion more that the closest film, not much went wrong the paying public. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot blame OS as many countries end up with ONLY 3D prints! Or with very few 2D showings of movies also available in 3D. There is really no choice. It is either watch the movie in despicable 3D or wait for BluRay/TV/Torrent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
