ecstasy Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hey hey hey. I'm the resident hater around here. I'm indifferent toward almost all the franchise blockbusters these days.

Mattrek Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Iron Man 3 was great. I don't give a damn what anybody says. Now I've had just about enough of you guys bashing my 4th favorite movie of the year.I said most on this board felt it was meh, how is that bashing IM3? It's a true statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Pop culture phenomenon doesn't necessarily attract more audience from film to film. HP is the prime example Harry Potter, in my opinion, was hurt because COS was a mediocre movie plus the worst book and Azkaban wasn't marketed well in a very crowded summer. If they had capitalized more on the first one's momentum, I think that more than three of them would have done 300+. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Chill out Mattrek The spelling of your name was by mistake. I seriousily thought it was actually Matterk. Classic example of being far to emotional right there lol. I was just being a jerk of course the box office is fun and its fun to see a big opener. It was blast seeing Skyfall beating TDKR last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said most on this board felt it was meh, how is that bashing IM3? It's a true statement. Are we still pretending IM3 is a good movie?? I mean it has its moments but after a second viewing it really is a mess and drags in a lot of places. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Except for Nolan films. *cue Nolanites to add fuel to the fire.* Except I'll argue with them that TDK has structural problems. Avengers? Don't care. Iron Man? Don't care. Thor? Don't care. Transformers? Don't care. Harry Potter? Don't care. THG? Don't care. But goddammit, FURY ROAD is gonna be the shit.

Now I've had just about enough of you guys bashing my 4th favorite movie of the year. Cool, it's pretty much my 4th favorite movie of the year too. I thought IM3 was far more emotional and gripping than something like Thor The Dark World, far more original than STID, and far more entertaining than MOS. But of course everyone has their own opinions and favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Ah isn't it obvious. The Xbox One release is distracting people from CF lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Don't worry folks. This will pick up during the day. Friday plus midnights will hit 100M or something and then it's going to break the OW record. Then it will have a 3X multiplier for some reason. Everything will be fine. Puerto Rico FTW!!!!

CaptainJackSparrow Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Azkaban had pretty poor legs as well. I mean, over a 60% drop in it's second weekend! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim22 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Oh, come on! There is an entire thread here devoted to CF over $200M ravings. It's way too early to start the revisionism.That whole thread is basically people saying why it won't happen. Look at the actual predicts by most people in that thread and you will see that the average predict is 160-170M. This is like someone saying that Thor2 should have done at least 120 since there is a thread for a 120M OW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Azkaban not well marketed well? How? Well I was only 11 years old then so I didn't follow box office but I remember comments along this line explaining why it fell that much from reading BOM archives a while back. But if I'm wrong, my b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
