I'm still confused. What does that have to do with my post to blackspider? And I don't get what you mean when you say every Imax is sold out.

I misread that and thought you meant there were no sell outs for Catching Fire :lol:And we have a IMAX finally so yeah they are all sold out.

Could this be a sign people are getting tired of JLaw's schtick??

lol I just got home and caught up to everything. the OW is going to underperform because it failed to meet projections, but a 130 million+ opener is far from a flop. there's a clear distinction between the two. I know boxoffice followers like to jump the gun and call anything that fails to match predictions a flop but that's clearly not true.

I think most on here are using the term 'flop' jokingly. They're just poking fun and having their moment to gloat . Which is reasonable.

How sad that we go from "200m opening!" To "well it's still going to make a profit"

I'm planning on trying to make it to a Frozen show this weekend if possible. El Capitan is a really enjoyable theater to watch movies in, there are musical shows and stage shows before every movie. It is owned by Disney so only Disney movies play there.

 

That does sound like a super fun theater!

Twist? It's the truth. Whether CF opened to 180M or 140M, it's still is going to profit LG very much.

But not what you think I meant. You assumed that I was on the same page with you. Nobody in here is ever on the same page with some one else, too much confusion going on in this place.

We've been waiting for you for the last 100 pages.

Were there really that many that thought it make 200m on it's OW? I thought only a few people did.

This place seriously needs a comedy goldmine where hilarious threads are archived.

What is with this style of writing, are you a cousin of BKB somehow?

Acting?

[blackspider]

Regal Union still going strong, sold out a 12:15 show, 14 sellouts total for the night.

reasons for underperformance

 

 

 

-No Taylor Swift song

-Release of Xbox One distracting audiences

-People saving their money for The Hobbit 2

-Male audiences distracted by Call of Duty: Ghosts-Adult audiences too busy watching Hobbit : Extended Edition and Appendices 

-Delivery Man stealing away audiences

-Thor 2, Best Man's Holiday and Last Vegas still drawing in huge crowds

[tawasal]

and Mission Impossible.

And that too. So not good for TF4.

(Slowly raises hand in mention of who thought it could have a 200M OW)........

Let's not fuel shay's troll engine.
