ecstasy Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Beat me by a second. Great start for Enders Game. It doesn't look like a bad movie at all. Has anyone seen it? Edited November 1, 2013 by ECSTASY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Old Tele Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Huh, that seems pretty good. I would've thought under a million. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChD Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Heeyyyyyy, thats.. a number I guess? It's ... a solid one, apparently. I say it will make a much higher number for the entire weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) It's ... a solid one, apparently.I say it will make a much higher number for the entire weekend.It might even make ten times as much!

kells Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'm really surprised by that. Maybe the book fanbase for this is being really underestimated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) it's not really a bad or good number. Looks like it is going to hit the 27m opening most were predicting Thursday Nights for similar films Elysium - 1.6m Pacific Rim - 3.6m Oblivion - 1.1m Now You See Me- 1.5m After Earth - 1 John Carter - 500,000 Edited November 1, 2013 by John Marston 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stingray Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 You cannot change fate. However, you can rise to meet it, if you so choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Beat me by a second. Great start for Enders Game. It doesn't look like a bad movie at all. Has anyone seen it? Haven't seen it yet but reviews are mixed to the point where they contradict each other. Here are two reviews someone posted Some say it's very good, like this one: "Gavin Hood's adaptation is one of the best book-to-screen transitions of any work of science fiction." (http://www.scifimovi...endersgame.html) Others say stuff like this: "Not only does "Ender's Game" have many scenes in zero gravity, but this zero-sum fiasco has zero drama, zero suspense, zero humor, zero charm and zero appeal." (Wall Street Journal, but I can't find the actual review). Edited November 1, 2013 by John Marston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narniadis Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Couple of my employees saw it last night both loved it. Going with the wife tonight cause she wants to see it. Edited November 1, 2013 by narniadis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL That's pretty common with RT though. You can find polar opposites reviews for most films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on IMDB there are quite a few fans. Enough to organize a boycott (don't ask me why) LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Still in summer mode I see. Oblivion and John Carter would be the best comparisons then since they are outside of summer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Oblivion and John Carter would be the best comparisons then since they are outside of summer Ender's Game is more fanboy driven than those films, just like Pacific Rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
